The front bumper, radiator for enlarged with carbon fiber air entry. At the same time, side vents for the brakes in the form of half the openings includes an additional source of cooling air. Has completed an aggressive front Spoiler appearance. All carbon fiber used in the construction of the front. This Vorsteiner'ın reduce weight, the vacuum force to the highest level of technology using a special piece of carbon fiber.
The second new component also made from carbon fiber rear difüzör. Ventross the car with the factory plastic piece that contains three wings, carbon fiber parts distributor with integrated changed. The thin wings of the exhaust system to help cool the mouth with central heat removal.
Packed in a front bumper skirt, side skirts and a subtle tailgate of the wing is made of. With this version we have seen the other car body kits certainly much more often does not have an aggressive style, more standard view on the "low profile" is aimed for those wishing to make a difference. Kit purchased with a set of alloy wheels complete the picture of the tool can be opened later.
Some details about the new V8 engine of 500 atoms has been published. 500 heavy and looks like a small atomic device, but not really. 3 liters in volume, with 500 horse power V8 engine. A 6-speed sequential gearbox with the car to power the rear wheels are on. Steering wheel with gear change from the atrium will be offered the option. The Atom 500 V8 version to the market in February 2008, designed by Russel savory feed a 2.4 liter supercharged V8, was equipped with.
Bugatti has begun producing the Veyron Grand Sport at its plant in Molsheim, France. The Grand Sport is the topless version of the hypercar with the same name. Those wishing to have their name placed on the list will have to come up with €1.4 million (about R15.7 million today). It will also help to own a Veyron already because the first 50 units to come off the production line are for these folks. The rest, all 100 of them, may already be spoken for.
The roof is completely removable which means it will not go where the car goes. Should it rain while the drive is under way a soft cover like an umbrella that’s stored in the storage compartment can be employed. This will allow the Grand Sport to travel up to 130km/h with that roof.
In any case it’s good to revise some of the numbers involved in this technical marvel on four wheels. The engine is an 8-litre 16-cylinder nuclear unit with four turbochargers. Maximum thrust is 747kW while torque is 1250Nm. Bugatti says the Veyron will accelerate from 0 – 100km/h in under 3 seconds (Autocar did 2.5 seconds in 2005) and the top end is 407km/h.
I’m told there is a Veyron in South Africa, somewhere down in the Cape area owned by a very rich guy who used to sell cigarettes...

Renault South Africa launched the Twingo here in October 2008. Twingo is the smallest on the Renault lineup and features a 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine that makes 56kW and 107Nm of torque. The French company didn’t mince its words in confirming that the more powerful Twingo RS would be made available this year and sure enough it’s here.
The RS is a small pocket rocket with much more verve than its normal sibling. A 1.6-litre naturally aspirated engine is fitted into the car and Renault promises that it’s quite zippy. Maximum power is 98kW at 6750rpm while maximum torque of 160Nm comes in at 4400rpm.
Driving the front wheels is a 5-speed manual gearbox that Renault says will help take the car from 0 – 100km/h in 8.7 seconds. The top speed is 201km/h. Quoted average fuel consumption is 7 litres per 100km and C02 emissions are 165g/km.
Renault fitted plenty of kit to distinguish the RS from the normal Twingo. Included in that are 16-inch wheels, new bumpers, wide front and rear fenders, new sills as well as a new rear spoiler.
The interior has Renault Sport-detailed seats, orange seat belts, a leather sports steering wheel, aluminium sports pedals and an RS rev counter. More optional equipment can be bought by those looking for further individualisation of their Twingo RS.
The chassis and suspension system have been stiffened to help handling but still set for comfort. Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) provides a safety net if things should get out of hand.
Obviously the Twingo is not exactly an Espace or Scenic as far as space is concerned: two seats up front and two and the rear. Boot space is quite limited but then again the target market for this car is young and single. Space is not such a concern for them.
Standard pricing for the Renault Twingo RS is R195 000 which undercuts the similarly-powered Toyota Yaris TS. In addition Renault will throw in a free advanced driving course with the car through its new Renault Driver Academy. Finally a 3-year/45 000km service plan is thrown into the mix.
