Sights and Sounds: 2010 Porsche 911 GT3

Sights and Sounds: 2010 Porsche 911 GT3

A proper sports car. Superb build quality, impressive and raw performance, great looks and sound, low weight, and agile. You fanboys can keep your ZR1's and GTR's. The 911 GT3 is the better car. Period. Sports cars aren't about claimed 0-60 times or "better value". It's about what I listed and what the driver can do with the car.

G-Power BMW M6 Hurricane RR

Some of you may remember the G-Power BMW M5 Hurricane RR which claimed the title as the world’s fastest sedan. Now the German tuner G-Power has set-out to claim another ‘world’s fastest’ title with the outgoing BMW M6 and its beefy V10 engine.

G-Power is known for developing exclusive twin-supercharger kits for the BMW M5 and BMW M6’s V10. They have taken their normal run-of-the-mill kit and tuned it even more to produce upwards of 789 horsepower and 590 foot-pounds of torque. With this configuration it is enough to propel the M6 to 62mph in 4.3 seconds. From a standstill the M6 Hurricane RR can reach 186mph in just 24.9 seconds. Top speed is 231mph!

If you have the resources, about $345K, you can not only own one of the fastest BMW M6’s around, but you would be among the fastest 4-seater coupes in the world.

Already have a BMW M5 or M6? Be sure to contact our sponsor, PSI – Precision Sport Industries (Authorized dealer and installer of G-Power products), in regards to installation of a G-Power Kit for your own BMW M5 or M6.

BMW Powerful Exploration for the Explanation of the Future

BMW desires to convert your car key into a widespread accession device applying near-field communications (NFC) technology.
In a paper issued on its web site, BMW spelt out programs to permit people to tailor-make their electronic car keys to permit the driver to disburse for goods, to book and disburse for journey on trains, to adjust radios, and even to reserve and open hotel rooms.
Thomas Kratz of BMW development access and authentication systems division remarked “Our vision is that, in future, the key will not only mean access to the car but, inside and outside the car, will become as it were the ‘key’ to many functions. I would then be able to set out while checking for just one thing: have I got my BMW key on me?”
NFC is a RFID-based (radio frequency identification) wireless messages technology that does work at series of under 10cm. It requires temporarily accommodating two NFC-enabled devices close as one to set in motion the related reaction. The highest data transfer rate is at present 424kbps.
Future application programs include substitution of the house key or other contact systems such as card readers. It could memory access authority to the workplace and thus get relief from the company ID card, BMW said.

The New BMW 1 Series 2012

BMW is facing very hard days and it is not able to make much money on the 1-series. This particular brand is capped in its higher price range due to competition with the 3-series. It has the same features and technology and is almost the same size as its larger brother. To solve this problem BMW is planning to reduce its production costs but at the same time having extra features in its next 1-series which is due in 2011 or 2012.

Engines and fuel efficiency will also play a vital role in the next-gen 1-series. The Europeans will get an all-new 3 cylinder turbo petrol unit which is rated at an approximated 110hp (82kW). The new engine plus its new technology which can be applied to the 116d’s diesel engine, will allow more models for lesser CO2 emissions under 100g/km.
