Aston Martin loss his Driver in 24 Hours of Le Mans race
Allan
Simonsen's death after a spinout
cast a pall over the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The race still had more than 23½ hours to go, but there was
no call to stop it on Saturday after the first driver fatality in 16 years.
Simonsen's partner Carina, the mother to their daughter
born last year, made sure of that.
It was her
"specific request" that Simonsen's team, Aston
Martin Racing, continue the
world's most renowned endurance race in honor of the Dane.
Just 10 minutes into the race, Simonsen spun and skidded
into the barrier at the Tertre Rouge corner where cars typically reach speeds
of up to 105 mph. The 34-year-old Simonsen was taken to a hospital, where he
died of his injuries, race organizers said.
The violence of the impact showed as a tire from Simonsen's
car rolled on the track while a door hung wide open. The race was held up for
nearly an hour to repair the guard rail.
"Tragically,
and despite the best efforts of the emergency services in attendance, Allan's
injuries proved fatal," Aston Martin said in a statement.
The Aston Martin released the official statement :

Aston Martin Vanquish 2014
THE BEST ASTON MARTIN.....EVEr
100
years of Aston Martin. 100 years of producing the most beautiful and desirable
cars in the world. They knew their centenary demanded something special. Their
mission was to produce the greatest Aston Martin in history, the car to lead
them into their second 100 years - a new flagship. So they did it. With the
most advanced engineering, the most beautiful design and the finest materials,
They created the best Aston Martin ever. They created Vanquish.
The new 2014 Vanquish demands equal doses of sexy-yet-discreet styling and
forward thinking hardware to uphold its desirability in the current exotic car
landscape. After just a six-year run, Aston Martin's DBS will be replaced by a
new range topper that will resurrect the Vanquish name and will be built off
the fourth generation of the British automaker's innovative VH platform. The
new car, available in either 2-seat or 2+2 configurations, is longer, taller
and wider than the DBS and incorporates styling elements first seen on the
One-77 supercar.
Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6
Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6……The Real Big Monster.
The G63 AMG 6x6 has made for those , who liked to be traveled every terrain with their own ride by creating their own roads.
It is in its element off the
beaten track. Its business is overcoming the challenges that the natural world
and different weather conditions across the globe pose for its driver. The
near production-standard Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6 show car is uncompromising. It is the most effortlessly
superior and extravagant off-roader ever to be developed and built by
engineers. Its performance and equipment are in a league of their own: with 400
kW of power, six driven wheels, off-road five differentials
which can be locked while on the move and a tyre pressure control system that
operates at world-record speed, the G 63 AMG 6X6 is made to meet all the topographic and meteorological
challenges which have stopped other vehicles in their tracks to date. And the
exclusively appointed interior guarantees the very best in high-class comfort
for the driver and guests, whatever the rigours encountered in tough off-road
terrain.
The G 63 6X6, stretched to accommodate a pickup bed
and six wheels drive, all of which are driven by the awesome direct-injected,
5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 that resides under the hood. Just as in the same-old, four-wheeled
G63 AMG, which retails for $135,205, the 6x6 makes 544 horsepower and generates
560 lb-ft of torque. Its mill is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission,
and it manages to move the four-ton-plus behemoth with considerable authority.
AMG claims that it takes 0 - 100 Kmph in around seven seconds, and the truck
can touch 160 Kmph. Forty percent of the torque is sent to the middle axle,
while the front- and the rear axle each receive 30 percent. The tire pressure
can even be adjusted with a built-in air compressor, which is useful when
driving on different terrains.
The G63 AMG 6x6 is derived from a special edition of the
G-wagen developed for the Australian armed forces, but unlike that purposeful
vehicle, the concept is fully equipped with every conceivable luxury option.
The center console is fitted with carbon fiber in a feeble effort to counter
the 6x6's excessive weight, and the seats and door trim are finished in
diamond-quilted leather.
The G 63 AMG 6X6, a small series of which is expected to go into
production at the end of the year, combines the best of three worlds: Mercedes-Benz's more than 30 years of off-road experience
and the G-Class series production models ensure effortless poise and
balance for this vehicle which is without parallel in the off-road scene. The
vehicle's absolute robustness, functionality and outstanding off-road
capabilities derive from the G-Class models. And the renowned luxury and high-performance
division, Mercedes-AMG, is responsible for the engine technology
and the luxurious and comfortable interior.
ASSUREDLY ON TOP OF THINGS.
The G 63 AMG 6X6 keeps a cool head in the desert and equally stays
ship-shape when the floodgates open, making driving through such extreme
terrain a sheer delight. However tough the going gets, it will always find a
way through. The voluminous tyres on the three axles, the vast ground
clearance, the overall height of almost 2.30 metres combined with a width of a
good 2.10 metres and the clear, straight-lined design command respect. Despite
its imposing appearance and its total weight of 3.85 tonnes, however, the pickup
boasts awesome driving dynamics and almost catapult-like acceleration. It knows
nature's challenges – and it knows how to see them off. The show car takes even
the highest sand dunes in its stride. And its unerring directional stability
sees it cope effortlessly with desert tracks, too. It clambers over rocky
terrain
with astounding
agility, while an impressive fording depth of one metre ensures that it is
anything but water-shy.
Subaru WRX
The Sexiest Subaru’s Concept is here… The WRX
Subaru has
known for its boxer engine and popular all wheel drive drive-train layout in
the world. When we think about Subaru , a picture of sporty fully loaded huge rear wing and giant hood scoop, and
on-road/off-road capabilities ensuring you feel like rally champ Petter Solberg
is create in our mind.
The current
WRX bears signs of age, and a give a face-lifted version is expected soon. At New York auto show, Subaru gave us a glimpse
into the future look of the WRX. And it’s absolutely dazzling.
Holding true
to its roots, the enormous hood vent remains, but rather than protruding out of
the hood glaringly, it now sits snug and aerodynamically within. The roof
comprises of carbon fiber to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity. The
inimitable, gaping WRX grille increases in size and presence, and the rear end
oozes aggression mixed with a hint of love from the Subaru BRZ. Fluorescent
yellow brake calipers ensure the wheels pop and that luminous glow accentuates
the melon-sized quad tailpipes.
Some parts
of the design will not make production, namely the tiny wing mirrors,
“made-for-show” headlights and (likely) the carbon-fiber roof. But despite a
few minor details, I see no reason why the next WRX won’t appear close.
We have no
word yet on any engine details, other than it will be turbocharged, and the the
interior remains a mystery. The concept sports BBS “RI-D” one-piece forged
Duralumin wheels and 245/40ZR20 Dunlop tires. It also boasts a lower, sleeker
and wider stance; surely producing improved aerodynamic efficiency.

Mercedes Benz 540K
THE 12 MILLION DOLLAR BABY......
Mercedes-Benz 540k breaks two auctioning world records.
The 1936
Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster, set a record for any Mercedes-Benz ever sold at
auction.
On the evening of
19th August 2012, the auction house at California's Pebble Beach is silent for
two long seconds – Then the sound of the gavel followed by the call 'Sooooold'.
Thunderous applause fills the auction house and the auctioneer, Chris Ross, also
claps proudly and in relief. With the option of the Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster, the British
auctioneer has set two world records. Firstly, he achieves the highest amount
paid for Mercedes-Benz at an auction in 2012. At the same
time, the car thus becomes the most expensive pre-war vehicle ever sold at an
auction. The price: 11,770,000 US dollars.
"I have never
seen so many people at an auction. I wonder whether I will ever sell another
vehicle as beautiful as the 540 K Special Roadster again?"
40
YEARS OF BEAUTY SLEEP.
The 500 series replaces the 380 series in 1934. Customers demand
more powerful engines and thus between 1936 and 1937 only 25 of the elegant
two-seater are constructed. One of these is purchased by the Prussian Baroness,
Gisela Josephine von Krieger, for 28,000 Reich marks, which would amount to
approximately 115,000 Euros today. In 1942 she first moves the luxury car to
Switzerland, bringing it into safety from the Nazis. The Hitler regime intends
to prevent the Prussian nobility from leaving the country with all of its
millions. When she goes to New York a number of years later, her 540 K
accompanies her across the Atlantic. The Baroness dies in Europe in 1989.
However, the car remains in the United States, stored in a garage in Greenwich,
Connecticut. Forgotten for 40 years.
AS
THOUGH REBORN.
The series
celebrates its premiere in March 1934 in Berlin as the "Type 500 with
compressor". In October a more luxurious version of the car appeares. In
the beginning of October 1936 the 540 K with an enhanced 5.4 L compressor
engine is presented at the Pariser-Salon. One year later it is followed by the
540 K Special Roadster. For von Krieger's Special Roadster, its beauty sleep
comes to an end in 1990. The doors are opened and the Mercedes-Benz 540 K stands exactly as it had been
parked in 1950: With roadmaps in the side pockets and carefully folded gloves,
cigarette butts with lipstick marks in the ashtray. An unexpected time capsule
which wonderfully preserves the spirit of its era. However, the vehicle itself remains
just as well preserved.
The 40 year grace
period allows it to retain its original condition in the present. After only a
few weeks of restoration work, the exceptional vehicle essentially celebrates
its second birthday.
KEEPING
THE QUALITY PROMISE.
Those vehicle parts
which feel the ravages of time are replaced with original spare parts,
maintaining the same standard of quality - more than 70 years after production.
A quality standard which is part of the Mercedes-Benz Classic work ethic. A standard based
on the numerous company documents which also record the numerous model variants
of the 500 series: A four-door sedan, different two-seater roadsters and open
touring cars, cabriolet variants and an exquisite range of custom designs.
Using original documents from the company's own archives and the technical
expertise of the specialists at the Fellbach Classic Center, analyses of the
vehicles and their conditions can be carried out for every vintage and classic Mercedes-Benz. An important requirement to prepare the
historical Mercedes-Benz vehicles for the future.

Subaru Forester 2013
Subaru
the Japanese manufacturer well known for its use of the boxer engine layout in most of its vehicles above 1500 cc as well
as its use of the all
wheel drive drive-train layout since 1972 . The punch line of Subaru
: “Confidence in motion”
Let we see that the Confidence in motion with
new 2013 Subaru Forester. The Forester could be credited as the original
formulator of the car-based crossover SUV. The United States Auto Club compare its
All-wheel Drive System with the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V Real
time 4WD, Toyota RAV4, and
Nissan Rogue Intuitive AWD and forester won the match . Watch this video
clip below.
To recap, there are two Forester models: the 2.5i , which gets a carry-over, 170-hp 2.5-liter flat-four, and the 2.0XT, which
gets a new 250-hp turbocharged flat-four based on the BRZ’s naturally aspirated
2.0-liter engine. The 2.5i comes in base, Premium, Limited, and Touring
versions; the 2.0XT comes only in Premium or Touring guise. A six-speed manual
is restricted to the 2.5i and 2.5i Premium and replaces a five-cog unit; all
other Foresters get a CVT in place of the outgoing car’s four-speed automatic.
We were set loose on paved and unpaved back roads in rural Arizona in a
Forester 2.5i Premium manual, a 2.5i Touring, and a 2.0XT Premium.
the 2.5i’s all-new
unit isn’t bad, and the way it oozes the Forester down the road while keeping
engine revs low seems like a win for the average crossover shopper.
The 2.0XT’s turbo four
is quick, and while no manual transmission is offered, the model at least
offers three drive modes. Intelligent mode utilizes normal throttle and
transmission responses for daily driving. Sport mode enlivens throttle response
and offers six driver-selectable forward gear ratios when he uses the lever or
steering-wheel paddles to actuate shifts. Sport Sharp further enlivens engine
response and switches the CVT to a pseudo-eight-speed automatic; the eight fake
gears are also selectable via lever or paddles.
SUBARU BOXER Engine. Flat. Smooth. Smart.
Drawn from a century of intelligent
performance, the horizontal layout of the SUBARU BOXER engine combines balance with power and
efficiency. And every Subaru comes with a SUBARU BOXER engine.
Horizontal Design
Like the jabs of a boxer, where the
engine got its name, the SUBARU BOXER layout allows the engine to be
positioned in-line with the drivetrain for maximum transfer of power. Many
other engines are transverse, or turned perpendicular, and can require
additional drivetrain components to transfer power, reducing vehicle
efficiency.
The punch-counterpunch movements of the
boxer's pistons cancel out each other for a smoother running engine without
having to use additional components to counteract them as in many in-line and
V-type engines.
Low Profile
With pistons moving horizontally, the
SUBARU BOXER engine
has a flat, low profile, almost perfectly symmetrical, for a well-balanced
vehicle. Its low profile can provide a lower center of gravity than other
designs, helping provide quick handling response and flat, confident cornering.
