Maybach 57 Luxury Sedan

igoee — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 04:06:27 +0000

The Maybach 57 is the first automobile model of the Maybach brand since the brand’s revival by Daimler AG. The Maybach 57 is derived from the Mercedes-Benz Maybach concept car presented at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show.

Measuring an impressive 225.5 inches (5.73m) in length, the Maybach 57 is one of the most luxurious cars in the world. Its proportions provide four or five privileged passengers with exceptional room and comfort.

BRAKES AND HANDLING SYSTEMS

Instead of the traditional mechanical / hydraulic brake system, the Maybach is equipped with an electrohydraulic system known as Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC™) which is able to modulate the brake pressure required for each individual wheel with greater precision and deliver it more quickly.

CHASSIS – AIRMATIC DUAL CONTROL

The Maybach is equipped with the latest chassis technology which includes independent double wishbone front suspension and independent multilink rear suspension, as well as AIRMATIC Dual Control air suspension.

INTELLIGENT BI-XENON HEADLAMPS

Bi-xenon is an innovative headlamp technology in which both the low and main beam are produced by powerful xenon gas discharge lamps.

MODULAR ROOF SYSTEM

The Maybach is available with an electric tilting/sliding sunroof made from 0.25 inch laminated glass and installed over the front cabin of the Maybach 57 or the rear cabin of the Maybach 62.

PARKTRONIC

PARKTRONIC makes maneuvering into parking spaces easier.

PASSIVE SAFETY

The newly developed body features a crash-optimized passenger compartment that sets new standards in terms of geometry and the thickness and quality of the materials used.

2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

igoee — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:00:21 +0000

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a supreme example of modern automotive design, a hand-crafted sports car that offers exceptional performance, outstanding agility and everyday usability.

At the heart of every great sports car is a great engine, and the V8 Vantage Coupe and Roadster are powered by Aston Martin’s 313 kW (420 bhp) 4.7-litre V8, developed for both flexibility and outright performance.

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage also sounds spectacular and is capable of propelling the car to a maximum speed of 290 km/h (180 mph).

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is one of the world’s most beautiful cars: elegant, yet with a controlled aggression; perfectly proportioned, with a low, purposeful stance; modern, yet incorporating classic Aston Martin design cues.

The long, low bonnet line and two-seater cabin provide the perfect balance between beauty and sporting intent. The V8 Vantage sits low and close to the road, while the front and rear overhangs have been purposely minimised.

Sit behind the three-spoke steering wheel and set the multi-position, electrically adjustable seats. Feel the quality of the hand-stitched leather rim and sense the intuitive layout of the primary controls.

The driver’s first interaction with the powerful V8 engine is a blend of tradition and high technology, with a touch of theatre.

Maserati GranTurismo S Luxury Sports Car

The Maserati GranTurismo S, the sportiest version of Maserati’s coupé, was developed for those looking for a distinctive performance car.

The new and powerful 4.7 litre V8 engine is capable of generating 323 kw (440bhp), bestowing the Maserati GranTurismo S with a distinctive personality, aggression and power; all the necessary traits to deliver a refined drive in complete safety.

The transaxle set up employed in the design of the engine and gearbox is a stunning example of Maserati technology.

The suspension makes the most of this system thanks to new fixed-rate dampers that now offer 10% more damping. The compression and extension ratios have also been tweaked and the rear torsion bar stiffened.

The brakes, developed in collaboration with Brembo, always give a prompt response thanks to their dual cast iron and aluminium discs.

The sporty feel of the GranTurismo S is accentuated by Pininfarina’s modern lines. The detailing on the car renders it unmistakable.

Features include red prongs on the Trident, the Saetta logo mirror and the standard colour of the brake callipers, features that distinguish competition Maseratis.

Style, elegance and safety, combined with extraordinary performance, makes driving the Maserati GranTurismo S a thrilling experience that can be enjoyed every day.

The seats feature a central zone finished in Alcantara and new horizontal piping. Alongside the Poltrona Frau leather®-Alcantara combination, Alcantara can be substituted for Peccary leather. The GranTurismo S cocoons the driver and gives him the sensation of having everything under control.
