reveal this Fall!” –Justin Dugan

The all-new Shelby GT500 is the most powerful, street-legal Ford ever built.

Featuring a hand-built 5.2L aluminum V8 and enhanced with Eaton’s 2.6L supercharger and a cross plane crankshaft. As a result, the 2020 GT500 delivers more than 700HP from the engine for exhilarating on road performance.

Full engine power is delivered through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission capable of changing gears in less than 100 milliseconds. With the ability to click off a 0-60MPH times in the mid to low 3-second range and sub 11-second quarter mile passes, the new GT500 is destined to become a Hellcat Killer.

In this episode of AM’s Mustang News, Justin dives deep into the new model discussing everything from colors, packages, aero, cooling, wheels, brakes, tires, suspension, exhaust + more! Featured in this episode is some one-on-one time with Chief Engineer Carl Widmann from Ford Performance.

Some say it is Oz’s Wildest Cruisin Car Show, now expanded to NZ & USA

Wildest Cruisin Car Show….while others say

IT’S ADDICTIVE!!!

Held at motor racing circuits throughout states of Australia in Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia, Tasmania as well as the Taupo Motorsports Park in Taupo, New Zealand, Powercruise offers its customers the opportunity to push their cars performance levels to the limits in a number of driving events that are conducted in a controlled and safe alcohol free environment.

Spectators and entrants of Powercruise are also given the option to camp at some of these venues which no other form of motorsport offers promoting fun where families can play and stay for the whole weekend.

Powercruise automotive entertainment is the brainchild of Michael ‘Gup’ Gilbert from Brisbane, Australia and he created the Powercruise Automotive Entertainment concept so car enthusiasts could drive their cars the way they were built to be driven without breaking the law. Together with a select team of staff, volunteers and officials, Powercruise entertains over a quarter of a million spectators annually and attracts over 3500 entrants which proved his theory that there was a necessity for an event of this calibre…

AN EVENT WHERE YOU CAN DO ALL THE THINGS YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANYWHERE ELSE

Newly evolved Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 development car to participate in VLN round 7 (SP-X class) at Nürburgring as part of its test program

? September 22, 2017
? Development driver, Michael Krumm and Nürburgring veteran, Tom Coronel to take the wheel

YOKOHAMA, Japan (September 22, 2017) – Nissan Motorsports International (NISMO) today announced that it will be participating in round 7 of the VLN, to be held at Nürburgring, Germany, as part of its test program for the newly evolved Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 that is currently under development.
Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3
The newly evolved Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 development car, built in accordance with FIA GT3 regulations, has undergone tests in Japan and this VLN participation is to act as an opportunity to further develop the car and collect real race data. Due to competing with a vehicle that is still currently under development, the entry will be into the “SP-X” class (for modified cars) and it will be driven by development driver, Michael Krumm (Germany) and Tom Coronel (Netherlands), who competed in last year’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring in the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3.
Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3
Yuzo Ishikawa (NISMO Corporate Vice President in charge of Development) comment
“This time our goal for participation in the VLN is to advance the development program of the car one step further and collect data in actual race conditions. In addition to the valuable data that we can attain from racing at a circuit like Nürburgring, that takes such a heavy toll on a race car, we will also be able to use the feedback from Michael, who is well acquainted with the GT-R and Tom, who has a wealth of experience at this circuit, and continue to improve and build up a GT-R that will remain the car of choice for discerning customers.”

2018 KIA Stinger GT Twin Turbo 3.3 liter V6

The KIA Stinger GT World Premiere at the 2017 Detroit Motor Show made the automotive industry sit up and take notice.

KIA is serious about producing a performance GT that will make buyers think twice about their choices in the market sector.

2018 Kia Stinger

The anticipated on road price for the KIA Stinger GT Twin Turbo  3.3 liter V6 is comparable to the new 2016 Ford V8 Mustang. There will also be a 190 kW 4 Cylinder 2.0 litre Turbo comparable with the Mustang 4 Cylinder Turbo.

2017-KIA-Stinger-GT-Twin-Turbo-3.3- liter-V6-

The KIA Stinger GT Twin Turbo  3.3 liter V6 produces a sub 6 second 0-60 MPH from 272kW/510 Nm so will surprise a few from the lights.

2018 Kia Stinger

With standard 225/45R18 rubber, the Four Cylinder 2.0 litre Stinger also loves to drift. Being no slouch with around 6.0sec to 100km/h and with all that low-down torque, plus a standard mechanical limited-slip differential, feels lighter on its feet, while its constant-ratio steering feels reassuringly connected.

An eight speed automatic inhouse developed gearbox and performance tuned suspension with rear wheel drive and huge wheels and Michelin tyres developed on the Nurburgring is serious.

2018 Kia Stinger

All performance aspects overseen by an ex BMW M master technician, Albert Biermann, should enhance any sporting on road experience expected by enthusiastic driving oriented owners.

2017-KIA-Stinger-GT-Twin-Turbo-3.3- liter-V6-

The excellently proportioned and styled body by Peter Schreyer of Audi TT fame, has its own look that will be recognizable as a KIA to most.

Long & low – 4831mm long, 1869mm wide and 1400mm tall, riding on a 2906mm wheelbase the Stinger doesn’t really have a direct competitor anywhere according to KIA.

2018 Kia Stinger

With a Weight of 1770kg  and 0-100 km/h: 5.1 sec (estimated) and the Fuel economy of 9.5L/100 km also estimated, the numbers stack up well.

Carbon Revolution Wheels

Carbon-Revolution

http://www.carbonrev.com/

Carbon Revolution produces the world’s only one-piece carbon fiber wheel:

the most technically advanced wheel on the planet, and one of the most advanced lightweight technologies on any car.

The innovative Aussies from Geelong, in Victoria (Yes, the same place they once built FORD Motor cars. Henry would be proud of them!) who created the first one-piece carbon fiber wheel overcame an immense challenge on how to optimize the structural integrity and create the ideal stiffness for ultimate performance.

Carbon-Revolution-Wheel-1The company technicians and scientists have also developed techniques to ensure a consistent, high-quality manufacturing process in the most critical automotive application of lightweight and strong rolling stock with exceptional balance.

The proprietary and patented Carbon Revolution manufacturing process shapes and forms the carbon fiber into the complex internal structure of the wheel. Automated operations result in high-volume, precision fabrication of the carbon fiber preforms. 

A great car deserves the best wheels.

Tested in Germany to the highest TüV standards, and available for purchase, Carbon Revolution knows carbon fiber better than anybody.

Backed by patents and many awards, the one-piece Carbon Revolution CR-9 doesn’t just look like the future of wheels, it is the future. And you can drive that future today! 

PERFORMANCE

GO FASTER BY GOING LIGHTER

The Carbon Revolution engineering team has many years of experience with composite technology, with decades of experience in Aerospace and Automotive Design. Our Engineers employ cutting-edge computer modeling tools to optimize the composite structures to very precise specifications, ensuring the wheels improve vehicle performance.

ClosePreviousNext

1.Start line: Launch hard with reduced inertia: get more power to the ground.

2.Tight high-g corner, higher cornering speeds due to increased grip. +0.14s

3.Bumps on track. Carbon wheels glide right over the bumps. Bumps upset the car with the aluminum wheel forcing the driver to breath on the throttle costing time and creating more work for the driver. +0.08s

4.Very tough section, off-camber, mid-corner bump and a wide line will hit curbing. Improved grip over curbing, improved steering precision and better chassis control allows the driver to keep the throttle wide open. +0.42s

5.Large bump and g-out in middle of the track typically upsets the chassis with aluminum wheels. Improved suspension performance due to lightweight CR-9 wheels allows the suspension to soak up the bumps without upsetting the chassis. +0.14s

6.Late braking, early on the throttle and increased grip mid corner. +0.45s

7.Finish line: total split = 1.23sec, almost 13 vehicle lengths on the straight!

  • All around the track the transitions in and out of the corners are smoother.
  • Far less adjustments by the driver to steering and throttle allows the car to taker a better line and not have to lift.
  • If you can get back to throttle quicker on corner exit lap times will come down.

DRIVER FEEDBACK & LAP TIMES

  • Improved suspension performance increases grip, enhancing control and stability in the corner
  • Improved steering feel made the car easier to drive at the limit

* Average speed on the straight was 104mph resulting in a gap of 13 vehicle lengths for the 1.243sec split in lap times
