The new Ferrari 430 Scuderia will join the road-going V8 line-up alongside the F430 coupe and the F430 Spider. The 430 Scuderia is a truly high-performance 2-seater berlinetta which demonstrates how Ferrari's Formula 1 know-how is carried across to its production cars.

The new model is a special series based on the F430 and is aimed specifically at Ferrari's most passionate and sports-driving oriented clients. Development focused on light weight, minimum trimmings and innovative technology. All this to exalt the car's extremely high-performance and ability to thrill the driver.

The new car can count on an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 2.45 kg per bhp thanks to a low dry weight of just 2755 lb - 220 lb less than the F430 - and to the naturally-aspirated 4308cc V8's 510 bhp at 8500 rpm.

Superb performance both on and off the track is assured by a series of cutting-edge solutions. There is the latest software - F1 Superfast - which reduces gearchange times to just 60 milliseconds, and new traction control which, for the first time, combines the E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and stability control in a single integrated system.

Vehicle dynamics, control and performance thus represent the zenith of Ferrari's achievements in terms of developing road-certified sports cars.

The 430 Scuderia will be officially unveiled by Michael Schumacher at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt in September 2007.

Super Cars - Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren

A Blast from the Past and the taste of the future that can only be a good description of the latest super cars from the collaboration of Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, two large beers in the automotive industry came. We talk about the 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. In addition to the old super car is still remarkably SLR racing cars of the '50s and the latest technology and meanest of high-performance super cars. And the power of the cars and the sleek, curves and models of luxury car is the combination of the two automobile manufacturers to beat.

The super sports car is definitely fast. SLR McLaren sports a 626 hp uprated V8 5.5-liter. In addition, the full carbon fiber monocoque, crash structures and provides body parts. Supercharge and the V8 engine, a 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren see go from zero to 60 thousand per hour in less than 3.6 seconds. Measured speed of more than 200 km / h, a performance can only be achieved through small, even among high-performance sports cars. The high-performance division of Mercedes-Benz has a new V8 engines. The AMG were the ones who hand make the supercharged V8 engines with top notched precision and quality. It is no surprise to see the entire document supercharged 5.5 (5439 cc) liter dry sumped 90-degree V8 engine produces look around 466.8 kW at 6,500 rpm (626 hp) and 780 N × m (575 · ft lbf) torque at 3250 - 5000 rpm. The very large number, perhaps, but the sound of the engine soothes the minds of all who have the perfect high-performance super cars.

V8 engine could be mounted in the body of the car is not exotic and traditional SLR, as one might have expected. The engine in SLR sports car, the center of the engine start directly behind the four wheels. Instead of the traditional oil-wide dry-lubricants. The innovation can be a lot to the engine mounted at the level used to be impossible. Due to the low position of the engine to the body of this supercar, the results are more than expected.

Not only that the characteristics of a super car draws attention to itself, but how the two companies were able to fuse a car tradition and know-how, alone in an exotic car. In one case, experience in a McLaren Formula 1 is taken up entirely by the SLR design. The composition of the carbon material was used so that the body of the new SLR sports cars of Formula 1 This body, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren rigid and surprisingly strong.

But is not exceeded, Mercedes-Benz also has a counterpart cleasanna some of his own. The German car manufacturer will be added features that are considered as essential for the greater part of the vehicle: the passengers. As background, especially in luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz has ensured maximum occupant protection and safety. To my knowledge, the SLR is the only car to use to make the front crash structure made entirely of carbon fiber. Can the importance of this design to be thankful carbon only in current crash test simulations. What does the front crash structure is the carbon fiber absorbs impact energy, four to five times more energy than ordinary steel structures in practice, in a severe frontal collision. This protects the passengers during such accidents four times more than traditional steel structures in other sports cars and supercars.
