MASERATI QUATTROPORTE S Q4 and GTS 2015

Italian manufacturer's most noteworthy Trident model to be displayed in LA next week  the revised Quattroporte, the S Q4 and GTS trims of which are treated to some enhancements for the 2015 model year. The top-spec Quattroporte GTS in particular "benefits from a sportier and aggressive appearance," highlighted by color-matched lower bodywork, an updated emblem, red accents on the wheels and upgraded equipment inside, including red leather upholstery, contrast stitching, piano black trim and integrated wifi.

For 2015, the smaller Ghibli sedan also gets standard navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a new finish for the brake calipers. Maserati will also showcase the GranTurismo MC Centennial Editions, as well as the Alfieri concept originally unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show (new images of which we've included below). Finally, the Petersen Automotive Museum is also collaborating with the Italian automaker to display an array of historic Maseratis in the West Hall lobby of the Los Angeles Convention Center. 

Maserati has always been famed for its innovative engine design: in this respect the new 3.8 litre twin turbo V8 installed on the Quattroporte sets new standards, with a long list of sophisticated solutions that make this the most high-tech propulsion unit ever installed on a Maserati car. With its 530 HP, it takes the Quattroporte past the 300 km/h threshold with ease.

ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA

ASTON MARTIN CONFIRMS BESPOKE SUPER SALOON: THE FINEST OF FAST CARS

Gaydon: Aston Martin was  confirmed a bespoke product programme for a new super saloon that will see the revival of the historic Lagonda nameplate in a strictly limited series.

Aston Martin has produced the first suite of images of its gorgeous Lagonda hyperluxury sedan in production form. This follows the release of photos of a prototype test vehicle in Oman a month ago, which followed an embarrassing photo drop of the same car by Oman Air shortly after it arrived in the Middle Eastern country. Turns out the Lagonda is just as beautiful sitting in front of a glass wall (and next to its most recent predecessor) as it is bombing through the Omani desert.

As has traditionally been the case, the Lagonda badge will once again sit proudly on a luxurious and exclusive super saloon.

The architecture of the Lagonda’s interior is pretty much taken straight from the Rapide, although, thanks to the Lagonda’s flatter roof line and longer wheelbase, passengers in the two rear seats should have significantly more head and leg room.

Aston Martin has yet to fully detail the car’s mechanical package, but it’s known that the Lagonda is based on the company’s VH architecture.

The five-door 2015 Rapide S, which also rides on the same underpinnings, features a 5.9-litre V12 pumping out 412kW of power and 630Nm of torque to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Rapide S has a claimed 0-100km/h time of 4.4 seconds.

Reports indicate that the Lagonda sedan can hit speeds of more than 280km/h.

The stunning luxury super saloon revives the Lagonda ethos of ‘the finest of fast cars’ and will be offered exclusively in the Middle East, as a result of specific market demand.

Exterior : The exterior hardly differs from the prototype vehicle that was shown off earlier by both Oman Air and Aston Martin during hot weather testing in the desert.
According to Autocar, the Lagonda wears a suit made from carbon fibre-reinforced plastic and is a much larger beast than the Rapide S that it’s closely related to.

With a body that stretches out over almost 5.4 metres and sitting on a 3.19m wheelbase, the Lagonda is 378mm longer end-to-end than the Rapide S and features an extra 199mm between the wheels. Unlike the Rapide, the Lagonda is a true sedan, with a flip-up boot lid.

MICHELIN HAS EMPHASIZED ITS ASSURANCE TO THE FIA WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP BY EXTENDING ITS OFFICIAL TYRE SUPPLIER AGREEMENT TO THE END OF 2016.

The French firm has been a partner of the WRC since it took over from Pirelli in 2011 and supplies tyres to most of the rally teams.
The new deal will bring more Michelin branding to WRC stages, to television coverage and the WRC’s digital services. Michelin will also continue to use WRC content in its own promotions.  

Pascal Couasnon, Michelin Motorsport director said: “This extension of our partnership with WRC was a logical step for us to take. The FIA World Rally Championship offers an authentic environment for Michelin to demonstrate the quality and endurance of our tyres, often under the most extreme conditions.”

Recent WRC viewing figures and a sporting season that runs from January to November had also impressed Couasnon. 

“This cooperation also facilitates a significant global media visibility throughout almost the entire year,” he explained. “In 2013, more than 600 million fans worldwide followed the WRC on TV and more than three million visited the rallies on site. These numbers speak for themselves and we are waiting for other improvement”. 

Oliver Ciesla, managing director of WRC Promoter, said: “We are delighted to continue to have Michelin at our side as a partner. We can guarantee Michelin an attractive environment at the stages, in the service park and on television. 

“From the start of the current season, we have been able to significantly increase the transmission times compared to last season and thanks to our media strategy involving more live action. Michelin, as a WRC partner, profits from this development.”

Ferrari Cavalcade 2014

A new one-off debuts in the Ferrari Cavalcade 2014

Maranello  : One of the 90 cars taking part in the third edition of the Ferrari Cavalcade was the F12 TRS, a one-off custom design making its public debut on Sicilian soil.
Based on the F12berlinetta, the car was developed at a client’s request as an extreme, two-seater, open-top sports barchetta. One of the initial inspirations for the project was the 1957 250 Testa Rossa. In fact, the F12 TRS is Flavio Manzoni and the Ferrari Style Centre team’s modern, innovative take on that legendary car’s spirit and pays homage to it in its moniker.

Like all one-off Ferraris, the F12 TRS is the product of Ferrari’s now-classic approach of creating a truly integrated design. It thus has the same exceptional performance figures as the F12berlinetta including 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.1 s and 0-200 km/h acceleration in 8.1 s, thanks to the massive 740 cv and maximum torque of 690 Nm at 9,000 rpm unleashed by its 6262 cm3 V12 engine.
