Just 599 of the new 599 GTO models are being hand-built for clients around the world who seek the ultimate expression of high-performance driving, and the entire production has been sold out since April 2010. Designed on the platform of the production Ferrari 599 GTB, but developed to offer the ultimate performance, the 599 GTO is effectively a road-going version of the 599XX, the advanced experimental track car which led the Ferrari Owners Club track parade at the Singapore Grand Prix in September.

The cockpit is their office, the road is where they go to work to. It is where half of all spinal cord injuries are happening. However, it is not the royal discipline of motor sports but accidents in everyday road traffic which are responsible for about 65,000 new paraplegia patients per year. Approximately 75 percent of all spinal cord injuries happen in the normal course of life, on the way to school, during leisure time activities or at work.

It was not simply a question of moving the transmission to the rear axle, the vehicle had to be adjusted and tuned in every element of its driving dynamics. This includes springs, dampers, stabilisers and even the tyres. The aerodynamics were also adjusted to take account of the change to the power flow. The rear axle differential, with a 45 percent limited slip, was also redeveloped, as was the calibration of the e-gear transmission. One significant point was the adjustments made to the ESP system. While the standard program is focused on high stability, the CORSA program permits greater drift angles, thus enabling drivers to enjoy the dynamics of the LP550-2 to their full extent.

The stock 3.6-liter engine is rebuilt to displace 3.82 liters. The engine has been recreated with premium components successfully developed and proven through Ninemeister’s racing exploits. The Singer 911’s engine achieves its displacement with Ninemeister 103mm pistons and cylinders, the 76.4mm crankshaft of the 997 GT3, and the 132mm lightweight titanium connecting rods. The large bore, short stroke combination can spin to 8000 rpm, but offers a broad, flexible torque curve.

S is for sporty and S is also for speed, so in order for the Sportback to be worthy of Audi's S badge, the car has to offer even more in order to attract potential buyers who want that extra more in performance. And that is exactly what the S5 Sportback has - a supercharged V6 for more power, Audi's S styling for sportier aestheticism as well as a sportier chassis set up for better handling. But more on the S5's engine first. As mentioned earlier, the S5 Sportback's three litre supercharged V6 is the exact same one sourced from the S4 and rightfully so for the S5 Sportback is essentially a S4 based vehicle if automotive taxonomy is anything to go by. With force induction, the S5's V6 churns out 333bhp worth of power, which is a huge difference as compared to the base 2.0 TFSI's 211bhp and 68bhp more than the 3.2 FSI model. As for torque, the S5 Sportback dishes out a whooping 440Nm as compared to the 3.2 FSI's 330Nm, how's that for sporty and speed?

The new Wrangler AT/SA also comes with an enhanced silica tread compound that extends tread life and provides up to 20% more mileage than its previous version. Also, the Wrangler AT/SA has been designed with a specific bead area configuration that ensures that the tyre sits firmly on the rim reducing rim slippage for minimal balancing throughout the life of the tyre. The enhanced silica tread compounds, in combination with the highly bladed tread design, provides additional traction on all surfaces regardless of dry or wet conditions. The Kevlar overlay and unique Durawall Sidewall compound delivers maximum strength that can only be found in Goodyear tyres.

Performance wise, the Eagle EfficientGrip is designed for maximum control in all year round driving conditions and reduced wet-braking distances for rock-solid vehicle stability. With a high number of biting edges gripping the road surface for greater traction, the tyre is built with the maximum ratio of blading in the contact patch to achieve safer cornering and maximum grip in all driving conditions. Based on external tests on wet-braking performance, the Eagle EfficientGrip outperforms a leading competitor in its class. This wet-braking test was conducted by TÃœV SÃœD Automotive GmbH in Mireval, on size 205/55 R16 on a low mu wet asphalt surface, and showed that the Eagle EfficientGrip indeed reduces wet-braking distances of up to 1.7 metres versus a leading competitor. The Goodyear Eagle EfficientGrip is available in 17 sizes in 45 — 65 series, 15-17 inch rims with V, W and Y speed ratings.
