Vehicle Operations Tinkered with a Range Rover Sport to Create a Landing that Could Conceivably Tackle Both a Mud Run and a Hot Track Lap
We all waited excitedly for a Jaguar to get the SVR treatment as well. Luckily for us, it didn't take long for them to answer the call of the wild introducing the Jaguar F-Type SVR, the fastest Jaguar ever made. The newest F-Type earns its honour by being capable of a 200 mile per hour top speed. It does so thanks to tweaks made to the 5 litre V8 that the F-Type are packed under the hood. This supercharged power plant now pumps out 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque along with a powerbomb. The F-Type SVR sheds around 110 pounds by replacing things like a steel exhaust with the titanium system and opting for a carbon fiber roof.
Keeping the Wildcat in control is the all-wheel drive system currently standard in all V8 F-types, supported by optional carbon ceramic brakes and an 8-speed automatic transmission recalibrated for the extra grunt. Exterior changes have to improve the F-Type's aerodynamic profile, widening the bumpers to cover more, flattening the underfloor, and modifications to the active rear spoiler. The nip and tuck also does wonders to rejuvenate the jack, keeping it from looking too long in the fang.
Anyone looking to wrangle the F-Type SVR can do so when the car goes on sale in the US this summer. Chevrolet's new Camaro SS is already receiving praise for its Cadillac ATS truck chassis, updated interior, and 6.2 litre V8 engine, but there's always room for improvement, and that comes in the form of the 2017 Camaro ZL1.
This new ZL1 turns up the heat on the previous generation's 580 horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque V8 Chevrolet appears dead set on owning its performance category as it says the new ZL1 is poised to challenge the world's most advanced sports tube. The ZL1 borrows the Corvette Zo6 is 6.2 litre supercharged V8 to the tune of 640 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque, not only is that engine all new for the Camaro, should you decide to forgo the standard 6-speed manual gearbox, shame on you, Chevrolet will offer a new 10-speed automatic.
The new Camaro's lighter stiffer platform is complemented by magnetic ride suspension and an electronic limited slip differential, also standard is the driver mode select dual-stage exhaust launch control and performance traction management. Visually, the 2017 ZL1 will be distinguished by lower grille opening for great airflow, a new float I open bowtie insignia, an updated hood with a carbon-fiber insert and heat extractor, a larger front splitter, unique rockers, a wing-style rear spoiler, and wider front fenders. The name of the game is zero dynamics from every angle, the elements coalesce to give the car a purposeful super-aggressive attitude.
Said John Makka Camaro exterior design manager. Inside the ZL1 comes equipped with power front seats, a suede flat bottom steering wheel, and available performance data reporter at 200 pounds less than 2015 model, and with 60 more horsepower and a team or pound-feet of torque, the new ZL1 has a significantly improved power to weight ratio.
The 01 sports 285 front and 305 rear goodyear eagle F1 supercar tires plus Brembo brakes for an improved track handling package. Chevrolet's 2017 Camaro ZL1 goes on sale this summer, and I cannot wait to see how its improved upon its predecessor.
The Newly-Crowned Genesis Brand Unveiled Its First Concept Here in the Big Apple
And the aptly named New York concept left the crowd stunned. A far cry from its relatives at Hyundai, the New York concept is upscale sophisticated and undeniably attractive. Mercedes and BMW may have a new reason to worry as the New York concept previews an upcoming luxury sports sedan from Genesis one that will likely be named G70 in do battle with the Audi A4, Mercedes C-Class, and BMW 3-series.
Forward motivation is provided by a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 2-liter GDI engine and an unspecified electric setup, but Genesis says total output measures at 242 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The real star of the show though is the concept stunning interior because after one look at its floating 21-inch touchscreen science fiction esque dashboard and dynamic interior styling, you may have a new luxury brand on your radar.
So there you have it. A titanic Lincoln, a refresh sports car legend, and a concept with a New York state of mind. Will be fun to see what comes out of these design and engineering exercises but it's going to be more fun to get behind the wheels of the production cars that have been announced. Auto show season may be over, but there's always something new and exciting on the horizon.
