Ferrari 612 Scaglietti


This super car’s name wants us to remember the sparkling mind of a Ferrari coach builder, Sergio Scaglietti. He created some of the most fabulous cars for Ferrari manufacturer in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
Being produced at the Ferrari’s Carrozzeria Scaglietti factory, the 612 Scaglietti is a 4 seats - 2 doors coupe that owns of course a 5.7 L (5748 cc) V12 engine produces a power of 540 CV (533 hp/397 kW) and a torque of 588 N·m (434 ft·lbf), that can make the car touch 100 km in 4,2 seconds, the top speed of the Scaglietti is 315 km/h.

The design of this luxurious super car knows no boundaries. We can talk endless about the comfort that every element that car possesses, beginning with the steering-wheel mounted and fascia-mounted controls, the Hi-End Bose sound system that is especially configure to optimize the acoustics of the leather and aluminum. Even the luggage compartment is benefiting of a lot of space: 240-liters. Of course, it couldn’t be a top new super car, a 2006 model if it wouldn’t had the new technology like MP3 player, Bluetooth, voice recognition system, a Compact Flash memory card reader that allows 4 GB of music to be stored and even a radio-CD system with satellite navigation system, and a point for safe handling is the parking sensors that comes in the standard price of the car, 250,509$.

Bigger boxer six


Subaru goes to 3,6 liters for more muscle

Slow sales
have Subaru planners reexamining the B9 Tribeca,with its 3-0 liter boxer-six getting particular atention.Although the engine is Sub's biggest mill,power-and most noticeably torque-rises considerably owning to a 20 percent displacement bump to 3,6 liters.
Rest assured,it's still an iconoclastic boxer,with even new quirks due to constraints of manufacturing and packaging.For instance,while the bore spacing is unchanged(there's only a slight increase in cylinder caliber),the stroke is way up,rissing from 80 mm to 91.
That requires some unusual,asymetric connecting roads to keep the engine's wais line from expanding to much.
Result?256 horse power at 6000 rpm and 247 pound of torque at 4400-up from the 3.0-liter's 247 ponies and way up from it's puny old 215 pound-feet of torque.That's the good news.The even better news is that it'll now run on regular gas due to revamped(and far more efficient)coolant paths.Best of all ,expect 10 to 15 percent better fuel efficienty.
Just another one of those win,win,win situations you hear so often about.
