The Cooper S is a high-performance variant of MINI's iconic hatchback. Like the regular Cooper, the "S" model was fully redesigned for the 2007 model year. The second-generation Cooper S is powered by a 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine producing 172 horsepower, eclipsing the desirable "100-hp-per-liter" measure revered by enthusiasts.

Compared to the first-generation MINI, the new model has a lower center of gravity, wide track and the wheels moved to the extreme corners. This helps ensure go-kart like handling and increased safety during spirited driving. The EPAS Electrical Power Assisted Steering helps to make the MINI even more nimble and agile on the road, speed-related assistance ensuring low steering forces when parking and precise control at high speeds.

While the 2.76-inch-longer exterior is mostly evolutionary, BMW describes the new interior as "revolutionary." For increased safety, curtain airbags now protect all passengers.

Despite the car's increased measurements, its weight has been reduced by 192 lbs for the Cooper S manual, 72 lbs for the Cooper S auto.

The Cooper S comes standard with six standard airbags, plus a number of electronic safety features. Anti-lock ABS brakes are standard, as are Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD) and Cornering Brake Control (CBC).

Automatic Stability Control + Traction (ASC+T) is standard on the MINI Cooper S with an on/off switch. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is optional.

A new Hill Assist feature for manual gerabox models maintains brake pressure for up to 3 seconds after the brake pedal has been released and before the clutch has been engaged.

Batman’s new ride will be a Lamborghini Aventador

noreply@blogger.com (verdianzone) — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 12:55:00 +0000

In the past few years, supercars have been all the rage in blockbuster movies, having appeared in a growing number of them that involve superheroes. Iron Man began that trend when Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr., was seen riding the Audi R8 a few years back. Since then, a lot of high-budget summer movies have taken to exotics to serve as the protagonist’s main ride, including the Audi R8 Spyder in Iron Man 2, the Ferrari 458 Italia in the about-to-be-released Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 in The Dark Knight.

We bring this up because, apparently, the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, will feature none other than the Lamborghini Aventador as Bruce Wayne’s new set of wheels.

A couple of photos were even snapped by a forum member of Luxury4play showing the Lamborghini supercar in full movie dress up, including plates that say "Gotham" to go with a slightly different, yet subtle, silver finish.

It’s unlikely that this Aventador is going to be the new Batmobile for the movie because it doesn’t have all the trinkets and gizmos that are mandatory for Batman’s crime-fighting ride. Chalk the Aventador up as the latest in Bruce Wayne’s growing auto garage. Let’s just hope that it doesn’t suffer the same fate as that of the Murcielago LP640 - it crashed heavily in one scene - in the Dark Knight.

The Godzilla, Nissan GT-R

noreply@blogger.com (verdianzone) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 20:26:00 +0000

TOKYO - Nissan R35 GT-R successfully won the Best Model of 2012. What if theferocious look of the GT-R, the more reinforced by changes to the exterior? Thismodification results.

Modifications are shown autoevolution this, make a GT-R with Godzilla theme.Extreme alteration changes done on the car with the engine spec VR38DETT,3.799cc (3.8 L; 231.8 cu in) DOHC V6 is.

Kitchen talking machine, it does not need a lot of changes since the car has been super-powered.The owner did not do a lot of changes on the interior. Only, the GT-R is seen modified to increase the aerodynamic system.

No detailed information about the GT-R, only on the brakes and suspension system using aftermarket goods, among others : JRZ RS Pro coil overs running 1200/1000 spring combo Dodson front upper control arms Dodson rear lower control armsStillen Sway bars adjustableBraided brake linesPFC PFC rotors with padsWillall brake master system As for the rims, we'll get ADV.1 10 Convace three-piece wheels with size21x10.5-inch (front) and 21x12-inch (rear). While using Pirellis 295/25/21 tires (front)and 375/20/21 (rear), pretty extreme indeed.

Lamborghini Gallardo "Galaxy Warrior"

noreply@blogger.com (verdianzone) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:11:00 +0000

You can spin its name however you want, but the name "Galaxy Warrior" doesn’t necessarily sound like something you’d want to put in your car. Sure, it could pass as the name of the Ultimate Warrior’s long-lost cousin.

But as a styling package for the Lamborghini Gallardo? Nope. Not good at all.

True to its name, this "Galaxy Warrior" Gallardo that’s being sold on Ebay Germany does look the part of an intergalactic machine from the world of Warrior. But here on this planet, where the Gallardo is considered one of the most beautifully-designed cars in the world, there’s no room for robotic-looking Italian supercars, even if its an attention-grabber in every lost sense of the word.

In any case, the people responsible for this ungodly sight is a company called ATS Automotive, which gave the Gallardo an aerodynamic kit that includes a new front bumper, new side skirts, a number of new air vents, a new rear bumper, an aftermarket rear wing, and new twin-pipe exhaust system, and a new set of alloy wheels.

While it does sound like a package that’s got everything you need in an aero kit, the visual result of the whole car leaves a lot to be desired.

About the only thing redeemable about this car is that it still comes with the Gallardo’s 5.2-liter V10 engine that produces an output of 560 horsepower. Other than that, and that alone, we’d leave this one alone.

2012 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO

noreply@blogger.com (verdianzone) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:06:00 +0000

Ducati will be unveiling the 2012 Monster 1100 EVO at the New York International Motorcycle Show (IMS). This new model will be the new flagship for the air-cooled Monster family and sales will begin in the Summer 2011 at a price of $11,995.

The 2012 Ducati Monster 110 EVO is powered by a 100 HP Desmodue Evoluzione engine - the most powerful air cooled Ducati ever. The new 1100 EVO is offered with the new "Ducati Safety Pack", a simple and effective combination of adjustable Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and ABS brakes designed to aid rider safety. Also the new APTC wet clutch which ensures quiet operation and long life will be on the equipment list.

The new APTC wet clutch works with a race-like ‘slipper’ system which reduces the destabilizing effect of the rear-end under aggressive down-shifting, and compared with other wet clutch used so far by Ducati, features an additional cush-drive damper mechanism which smoothes the repeated transition from drive to over-run during stop-start traffic.

noreply@blogger.com (verdianzone) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:57:00 +0000

Yahama has been around GP racing for the past 50 years and to commemorate this silver anniversary, the Japanese motorcycle maker will be unveiling a special livery for the YZR-M1 motorbike. Likewise, this special livery will also dress up the brand’s MotoGP racebikes at Assen TT and Laguna Seca.

As for what you need to look out for with the bike, the “YZR-M1 WGP50th Anniversary Edition” livery will come in a unique red and white paint scheme that celebrates the two-tone livery of the Yamaha Factory Racing team. There’s also a special 50th anniversary logo that will be used by the team this season. This logo will be displayed on the fuel tank of the 2011 YZR-M1 bike, as well as on the uniforms of all the members of the Yamaha Factory Racing Team, and team riders Jorge Lorenzo, the reigning MotoGP World Champion and 2010 Rookie of the Year Ben Spies.

The bike will make its official debut at a special event on June 22, 2011 where it will be broken in by no less than Lorenzo and Spies themselves. That event is still a little over a month away so in the meantime, you can check out photos and a video of the special edition bike.

2011 Lamborghini Murcielago LP720-4

noreply@blogger.com (verdianzone) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:40:00 +0000

The departed Murcielago is no longer part of Lamborghini’s future, but it certainly doesn’t mean that we’ve seen the last of this highly popular supercar. That much you can be sure of when tuning companies like Wheelsandmore are still around.

The German tuning firm famous for some pretty sick projects in the past have outdone themselves yet again with their new program for the Murcielago LP670-4 SV. The project is fittingly called the Murcielago Final Edition, a nice homage to the recently discontinued Lamborghini supercar. And in choosing what type of Murcielago to work on, Wheelsandmore opted for the grand-daddy of them all, the Super Veloce.

The fact that there’s only 350 units of this kind in the world already makes the Super Veloce a rare piece of Lamborghini, but Wheelsandmore’s program for the supercar adds another element of exclusivity. Aesthetically, the changes include dressing up the car in an olive green color scheme with matching skull logos on both sides of the door. We’re not entirely sure what the skull logos are doing there, but we’re also not about to question these guys on their own project.

2011 Mercedes CLS 500 "The Big Black One" By Kicherer

noreply@blogger.com (verdianzone) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 11:21:00 +0000

Kicherer certainly outdid themselves this time. With a new tuning program for the Mercedes CLS 500 called the "Big Black One", the German tuning company has given us the full breadth of what the CLS is capable of. It’s got a cool nickname that immediately grabs your attention and a look that adds some aggression, but the best part is that it’s got pretty nasty performance upgrades that should make it more imposing than it already is.

On it’s own, this Mercedes already packs quite a mean punch, thanks to a 4.6-liter V8 engine that produces an output of 402 horsepower and 443 lb/ft of torque. But thanks to a software update and the addition of a new sports exhaust system, Kicherer was able to bump up the output to 463 horsepower and 509 lb/ft of torque.

On top of the engine improvements, the tuning company also installed their very own PowerConverter, allowing the car to have a faster jump out of the block than it normally would. A power upgrade with a speed boost? Sounds sweet to us.

The car’s chassis was also given a HighEnd Foliation treatment in matte black and carbon to go with the addition of a set of of its own hand-made 20" RS-1 forged wheels.
