Officially new Porsche 911 Carrera 2012 Trailer
La Carrera 911 ha un nuovo motore boxer di 3.4 litri e 350 CV e l'opzionale PDK consuma 8.2 litri per 100 Km basato sul nuovo ciclo di marcia europeo (NEDC), vale a dire 1.6 l/100 Km in meno del modello precedente. Con i valori di 194 g/Km CO2, è la prima Porsche sportiva a scendere al di sotto dei 200 g/Km. Allo stesso modo nella Carrera S, con il suo motore boxer da 3.8 litri ora capace di 400 CV, i consumi di benzina, quando accoppiato al PDK opzionale, sono ridotti del 14% (o 1.5 l/100 Km) fino raggiungere gli 8.7 l/100 km, nonostante un aumento di potenza di 15 CV ed un'emissione di CO2 di 205 g/km.
Allo stesso tempo si trovano incrementi di performance in entrambi i modelli. La Carrera S con il PDK riesce ad accelerare da 0 a 100 Km/h in 4.3 secondi. Premendo il pulsante Sport Plus, disponibile con il pacchetto opzionale Sport Chrono, il tempo si riduce a 4.1 secondi. La Carrera con il PDK, invece, impiega solo 4.6 secondi (Sport Plus 4.4 secondi) per scattare da ferma a 100 Km/h.
Lexus LFA Special Appearance at Cars & Coffee
Special appearance of the production 2011 Lexus LFA at Cars & Coffee. This is the first time the car was shown publicly on the streets!
(November 21, 2009 / Irvine, CA)
R.I.P. Hiromu Naruse, chief test driver for Toyota and the "Godfather" of the Lexus LFA, who passed away after a fatal crash on 6/23 outside the Nürburgring. Having worked with Toyota for over 40 years, Naruse contributed greatly to the development of many iconic cars, including the 2000GT, Supra, and current LFA supercar.

A stock twin turbo supra with blown spark plugs races a stock is-f from the dig. The footage was taken in Mexico going under the speed limit. No traffic laws were violated until the end. :)
The Lexus LFA Gets An Oil Change
Quite a long process if you ask me!
I had the privilege to witness the oil change service on a Lexus LFA. It takes a good 30 minutes to even get it on the rack and then the oil change takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
The LFA has a dry sump system for the oil to prevent engine oil starvation through high speed corners and lowers the engine's center of mass.
My daughter actually made an appearance in this video too. :)
This system holds 14.8 US QTs and it is required to drain, fill, cycle fresh oil, drain, fill, top off and change filters. Seems like alot of work huh?
I'll be uploading a ton of pictures of this oil change to:
