Michael Schumacher Returns To Formula 1


A season that has already produced more than its fair share of thrills and spills just got even more exciting after it was confirmed yesterday that Michael Schumacher is to make a sensational comeback for Ferrari as temporary cover for the injured Felipe Massa.

The 40-year-old seven-time world champion will line up against reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton for the very first time at the European Grand Prix in Valencia on August 23.

These changes can be seen on the front bumper and grille. Then the head-lamp and a larger multireflektor. To view the background, the background has been changed with menyatunya between the brake light with turn signal. While on business machines still use the old engine APV namely G15A 1500cc engine 16-cylinder MPI with a maximum power 105 PS at 6000 rpm propeller.
Recently Indomobil Niaga International (IMNI) launched its Suzuki APV which was named New APV Arena on October 4 2007 in Jakarta. Actually not too many things that strange, considering the face-lift New APV is exactly the same as the Suzuki Landy is marketed in Japan. Suzuki Landy's appearance coincides with the automobile exhibition in China, namely Shanghai Auto 2007 days ago, April 2007.
While for a type 3 variants. If we first recognize APV GA, GE, GL, GX, the variant that is now GL, GX, and SGX. Available for transmission of the GL MT, MT GX, GX and SGX AT MT.

CAR MAGAZINE FANCIES FURIOUS XFR



CAR magazine (South Africa) recently tested the new Jaguar XFR for their August 2009 issue. And boy did they shake Indo-Brit down!



According to CAR the XFR dispatched the 0 – 100km/h time in just 4.66 seconds which interestingly was slower than its chief rivals the Audi RS 6 (4.62) and the oldest car of the lot, the BMW M5 (4.64).



Incidentally IN4RIDE tested the RS 6 and got 4.81 seconds at 1500m above sea level.



But in real life those miniscule differences are almost impossible to detect. Under normal circumstances a guy who knows his way around a car, driving the XFR, could conceivably trash those other two. Anyways, there’s more to a car than mere numbers (tehehe) but numbers are the only thing we can measure. The rest like driving feedback, handling aptitude and so on are largely variable depending on many uncontrollable circumstances. Again, the XFR scored highly there as well, getting great marks for both comfort and superior sports car-like handling.



So good was the car apparently that CAR Editor John Bentley described it as the “epitome of grace, space and PACE” while deputy editor Hannes Oosthuizen said “the best car I’ve driven in months. Perhaps years. Possibly ever.”



We’ve often suspected that the XFR would cause a major upset in this segment. These suspicions will be put to the test when we take it through a Gauteng altitude (about 1500m) road test and possibly a shootout with the M5. A very nice man from Bavaria Avenue has promised us a suitable example of the moerskont M5…



*Update: it doesn't seem that a suitable BMW rival to the XFR will be forthcoming due to the fact that the car has gotten on in years and keeping it for too long in the press fleet would cost too much money. Nevertheless an M6 will certainly be forthcoming. Now, if only we can get a response from Jaguar about the XKR we might have ourselves a proper smack-down...

EDO COMPETITION PIMPS OUT ENZO











German tuner Edo Competition has gone back in time and began working on the Ferrari Enzo. The car is powered by a 6.3-litre V12 engine - same as the Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG actually - but this one does not have turbo power.



What it has is a maximum power figure of 588kW (800hp) from its natural aspiration. Peak torque is 780Nm made at 5800rpm. Performance is listed as: 0 – 100km/h in about 3.2 seconds, 0 – 200km/h in 9 around seconds, 0 - 300km/h is done in 19 seconds, and top speed is 380km/h.



The wheels that are fitted are 10 x 19 with 265/35 ZR 19 Michelin up front and 13 x 20 with 335/30 ZR 20 Michelin at the back. Other kit installed includes ceramic sports brakes, adjustable suspension and an exhaust sound that can be adjusted for volume via the push of a button!
