Nissan GT-R Revealed

Nissan has revealed official details of its European-specification GT-R models – and it’s good news for UK customers. The supercar, which arrives here next April, has benefitted from a host of improvements over US and Japanese editions.

Thanks to some electronic upgrades, the GT-R’s 3.8-litre V6 twin-turbo engine gets a 5bhp boost taking peak power to 478bhp while torque stays at 588Nm. Dunlop SP Sport 600 DSST tyres will be fitted as standard – these are the same tyres that were used by Nissan engineers during the GT-R’s record-breaking lap of the Nurburgring, resulting in a time of 7 minutes 29 seconds.

Other changes include modified suspension spring rate settings, which Nissan says result in an improved ride. Another tweak is the introduction of the Gun Metal grey coloured Rays seven-spoke alloy wheels for the standard and Premium Edition GT-Rs.

There will be a Black Edition too which will be fitted with the same wheels but, unsurprisingly, in black. Lucky customers can also choose a new pearl white exterior colour called ‘Storm’.

As for the price, the GT-R will start from £56,795 on the road with an increase of £1,300 for the Premium Edition (£58,095) and another £1,300 for the Black Edition (£59,395).

Diesel Power for New Lamborghini Estoque

Diesel Lamborghini Estoque

A new bull is charging in – and here are the pictures to prove it. This spectacular machine is Lamborghini’s ‘family’ supercar, the four-seater Estoque. It opens a new door for the Italian company – not least because it will be the first Lambo in history with a diesel engine!

Revealed at the Paris Motor Show, the four-door saloon will join the Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide to form a trio of brand new super saloons. The Estoque takes its name from a type of sword used by bullfighters – although, far from killing the bull, this car will more than double Lambo’s sales by entering the brand into a new niche. And in addition to a V10 engine, the company is planning oil-burning and hybrid powerplants, too.

A modern interpretation of the firm’s original four-seater, the Espada, the Estoque draws on the Gallardo and Murciélago supercars. Its aluminium composite body is full of sharp angles and menacing geometric shapes. Inside, inspiration comes from the Reventón – Lamborghini’s special-edition Murciélago – with a fighter jet-style dashboard. In the back are two seats offering plenty of legroom and a 450-litre boot.

Underneath the skin lies an all-new aluminium and composite chassis, while up front is a 5.2-litre V10 from the Gallardo LP 560-4, which is mounted as far behind the front wheels and as low as possible. A rear differential gives 55:45 weight distribution.

The engine drives all four wheels through a seven-speed double-clutch gearbox, but the motor hasn’t simply been transplanted unchanged from the Gallardo. Engineers have lengthened the intake manifold, and while peak power is down at around 500bhp, torque goes up to 560Nm.

Lamborghini hasn’t quoted any performance figures, yet a top speed of 200mph and a 0-60mph time of around five seconds is likely. In addition to the 5.2-litre V10, the firm is considering a wide variety of engines based on those within the VW Group, including a V8 petrol, a V8 TDI and a petrol-electric hybrid. “This car gives us the chance to explore new avenues,” Maurizio Reggiani, director of research and development, told Auto Express. “A diesel engine would not be right for the Gallardo or Murciélago, but the Estoque is the perfect platform.” The oil-burner is most likely to be a high-performance version of the 4.2-litre TDI used in the Audi A8. It would make the Estoque a unique proposition in its class, offering a combination of performance and economy unlike any previous Lambo. Likely to go on sale in 2012, the Estoque will carry a price tag in excess of £150,000.

Land Rover Freelander

Land Rover Freelander

The Land Rover Freelander is a compact SUV from the subsidiary of Tata Motors, the British Land Rover. The company is now producing the second generation model named the Freelander 2 or LR2. The latest edition of the Freelander is hitting the Middle East and North American markets.

The Rover Group conceptualized the original design of the Freelander in late 1980s after doing market researches that suggested the creation of compact off-roaders. The Rover Group was about to develop the Freelander project in early 1990s when they had a limited budget for its product development. To battle it out the Rover looked for a partner for the development of the Freelander. Their formal partner, the Honda has declined to join the project but came out with the similar Honda CR-V in 1997. With their failure to find a partner the Rover Group decided to go alone with the development of the Freelander that they named CB40 with their limited available resources. They come up with a unique suspension, transmission, and body construction. The Freelander was launched in 1997 after several years of development from their limited parts bin. In 1994, the BMW took over the operation of the Rover Group but not with the development of the Freelander.

The cost cutting done in the old Freelanders was retorted when the early Freelanders were found to be suffering from several inconsistencies such as clutch failure, head gaskets problem, and electrical problems. The new Freelander has seen a change in design and improvements in the problem areas of the past and this has accounted for the vehicle remaining on top when it comes to sale value. The Freelander was the best-selling 4×4 in Europe.

One notable feature of the Freelander was the hill descent control system that was first used in this model of the Land Rover. This system uses the ABS to give an off road Traction Control system and to individually control the brakes while maintaining better driving control in off road terrains. The Freelander was out of the production line after its poor sales in 2006 in U.S. and Canada.

The second generation of Freelander or the Freelander 2 was developed not to save the original Freelander from shame. The Freelander 2 is another unique development but only carrying the original Freelander nameplate. This new generation model was first seen in 2006 British International Motor Show and initially marketed in Europe and eyeing the future sales in the markets of North America. Before the actual launching of the LR2, journalist had a preview of the Freelander 2 in a private presentation held at Kensington Roof Gardens that also featured Maria Sharapova, a celebrity tennis player.

The Freelander 2 used the Ford EUCD platform that is also used by the Ford Galaxy, Volvo S80, and Ford S-MAX. The Freelander 2 used power engines like the same transversely mounted engine used in Volvo SI6 series, the 3.2 V6 engine that was first used in Volvo S8. Other LR2 models also used the 2.2 DW12 engines, a common rail turbo diesel that was collaboratively developed by PSA and Ford. The latest Freelander had some improvements in its ground clearance and off-road capabilities matching other Land Rover models. The interiors also had some major enhancements and added with some standardized safety features. The Terrain Response system used in Discovery 3 and Range Rover was also used in Freelander 2 with some modifications to fit the new model.

The Freelander 2 reached the U.S. market in 2007. The latest 2008 version known as the LR2 HSE is another innovation on the Freelander 2 that uses 19” wheels and with additional side trims. All the Freelander 2 models use the six-speed automatic transmission and the all-wheel drive capacity. Latest innovations include the Technology Package, Lighting Package, and the Cold Climate Package.

The Jaguar XF cars are available in different engines ranging from 2.7-liter and 3.0 V6 Diesel and Petrol to the 4.2-liter V8 Petrol Natural and Supercharged. The 4.2-liter V8’s compact and lightweight construction is the most used engine because of the big performance that it offers in its small all-aluminum construction. The V8 uses four valves per cylinder and four overhead camshafts in its variable camshaft phasing. The natural V8 can give 310 lb-ft torque and 300 bhp in an effortless performance. The supercharged can give 413 lb-ft torque and 420 bhp with its rotor-type supercharger. The XF’s transmission uses a six-speed automatic transmission system with superb character. The automated system responds to the way the car is driven and according to the road conditions in giving the smoothest gearshift. The drive selector in the driver’s panel is another latest innovation in transmission that is used by the XF.

If you want to combine luxury and comfort in your sports car then you better be ready with the leap of the Jaguar XF. Check your local dealers for their latest Jaguar XF.
