Porsche Panamera 4S~ Middle East Edition

 

This year at the Qatar Motor Show, Bernhard Maier lifted the cover of a very special Porsche model for the Middle East region - the Panamera 4S Exclusive Middle East Edition. The strictly limited 66 vehicles will only be available for sale in the Middle East.

One very special detail is that the white metallic paint has never been used on a Porsche before and includes the front air intakes, headlight washer system cover, rear apron and diffuser. The interior is upholstered in bright Carrera Red leather, including the doors and dash. An Alcantara black headliner also features in the interior, which is trimmed with carbonfibre, and comes with a steering wheel and gear selector wrapped in black leather.

The Middle East special edition Panamera is based on the 4S - 400 hp 4.8-litre V8 with a 7-speed PDK automanual gearbox and all-wheel-drive, with the Sport Chrono Plus package installed as standard for the Middle East edition.
The basic retail for the Panamera 4S Exclusive Middle East Edition in the GCC region starts at 163,000 USD.

Black Ferrari Crash

Somewhere between Luzern and Zürich a black Ferrari 599 crash into a truck. The 44-year old driver lost control and slipped. The estimated damage is € 190.000, so the car can be regarded as total loss.

Styled by Pininfarina under the direction of Ferrari’s Frank Stephenson, the 599 GTB debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006. It is named for its total engine displacement (5999 cc), Gran Turismo Berlinetta nature, and the Fiorano Circuit test track used by Ferrari.

The engine has a maximum power of 456kW at 7600rpm and a maximum torque of 608Nm at 5600rpm. The Fiorano can achieve speeds in excess of 205 miles per hour, accelerating from 0 to 62mph in under four seconds.

Porsche 911 Black Edition-limited edition

Porsche has announced a 911 variant called the Black Edition, and this one is limited to just 1,911 examples globally, available in both Carrera Coupe and Cabriolet guise.

The 911 Black Edition is painted in plain black as standard, with Basalt Black metallic available as an option. For the cabriolet, the electric-folding hood is trimmed in black cloth. Other exterior highlights include 19-inch 911 Turbo II forged alloy wheels, and black-finished, four-piston aluminium monobloc fixed callipers.
There’s also black lettering on the stainless steel door entry guards to identify the version, and the interior continues with the theme – the leather is in black, as is the instrument cluster, though contrast is provided by aluminium-look paint, which adorns the decorative fascia strip, gear lever and air vents. A badge located on the glove compartment lid signifies the limited production variant.

Standard fitment includes a Bose surround sound system, specially coordinated with the interior, and in the Carrera coupe comprises 13 loudspeakers including an active subwoofer and central speaker as well as a seven channel digital amplifier; the cabriolet gets one less speaker, at 12.
The Black Edition is powered by a 3.6 litre flat-six pot, offering 345 hp at 6,500 rpm, and coupled to a six-speed gearbox, has a top speed of 289 kph in both body versions, with a 0-100 kph sprint time of 4.9 seconds for the coupe and 5.1 seconds for the cabriolet. With the PDK double-clutch seven-speed gearbox in attendance, this time drops to 4.7 seconds for the coupe and 4.9 seconds for the cabrio.
As is the case, add-on options abound – there’s the Sport Chrono Plus package, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) to be had, amogn other things, to get the Black even well, blacker.

2011 Ford Mustang V6

For 2011, Mustang makes sports coupe news with a new high-performance, all-aluminum Duratec® 3.7-liter DOHC Ti-VCT V-6 that delivers 305 horsepower and an expected best-in-class 30 mpg highway with six-speed automatic transmission – no other vehicle in the industry can beat that combination

* Six-speed transmissions – manual and automatic – combine with newly standard limited-slip differential and revised suspension for road-carving driving dynamics and handling

* New technology and convenience features include: Standard integrated spotter mirrors; message center; MyKey™ programmable vehicle key; and Universal Garage Door Opener 

New 3.7-liter V-6 engine

With Ti-VCT operating its four valves per cylinder, the new Mustang V-6 powerplant sends significantly more horsepower and torque (305 hp and 280 ft.-lb.) to the rear wheels than its predecessor – despite its smaller displacement. The behind-the-wheel feel is unlike any Mustang ever produced.

2011 lexus CT200H

Lexus has released details for its all-new 2011 Lexus CT 200h compact hybrid, which is set to star next week at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Serving as a new entry point to the Lexus brand the CT 200h will enter production towards the end of the year for worldwide sale, which presumably means the car will be headed to local showrooms.

Lexus is hoping its latest model will be able to attract new and younger customers to the brand, which currently suffers from one of the highest average buyer ages in the industry. Not surprisingly the CT 200h is packed with technology such as its advanced hybrid powertrain and funky Remote Touch multi-function controller.

Design and development work took place with the European market in mind, with targets like the BMW 1-Series and Audi A3 clearly in the CT 200h's sights. The car retains strong visual links to the LF-Ch Concept presented last year and features a conventional five-door body with trademark Lexus elements.
According to Lexus, the CT 200h is built on a new platform with a dedicated double wishbone and trailing arm rear suspension system. Up front is a MacPherson strut setup and a new front anti-roll bar.

2011 DUCATI MONSTER 796 WITH NEW MONSTER ART BODY KIT

The 2011 Ducati Monster 796 features the same 87hp, 803cc, two-valve, air-cooled motor that’s found in the 2010 Hypermotard 796. The Monster 796 tips the scales at a paltry 368lbs, and will feature optional ABS brakes. Combined with a low dry weight of 167kg (369lbs) and the bike’s friendly, flat-barred riding position, those new figures could make the Monster 796 the perfect first big bike for newish riders.  Like the Monster 1100, the Monster 796 will feature a single-sided swingarm and seat height that’s taller than the double-sided Monster 696.
