CLK GTR Roadster VS Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR: Auction Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and CLK GTR Coupe Roadster

In selling Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Coupe

Two luxury cars were sold in an auction held in London. The car that was auctioned Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR coupe made in 2005 and the CLK GTR Roadster lansiran in 2006.

Both are super rare sports car made by a German manufacturer that is expected to sell more than 1.1 million pounds.

Mercy duet scarce due to both the production is very limited. Just imagine, for Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Coupe, Mercy only produce as many as 20 units. While CLK GTR Roadster even crazier that is only produced as much as 5 units.

Both are expected to be sold each, or about 522,500 pounds for the CLK GTR coupe. While CLK GTR Roadster is predicted to be sold up to 616,000 pounds or approximately

In addition to its rarity, the price is two CLK GTR can be fairly high thanks to the sangar V12 engine with a capacity of 6.9 liters.

With such specification, is not wrong if the machine uses a six-speed manual transmission with a sequential gearbox, dual independent double wishbone suspension, and carbon-fiber brakes are able to shed up to 612 horsepower hp.

In addition to the two CLK GTR, the auction will also attend the Aston Martin DB2 lansiran in 1950 who participated in the prestigious Le Mans race and the Mille Miglia, Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Landaulet made in 1969 and the Bugatti Type 57C Stelvio 1938 production year.

All three of each is expected to sell around 550,000 pound sterling, pound sterling 308,000, and 440,000 Pounds Sterling.

2011 Lexus LFA - Click above for high-res image gallery

It seems like the Lexus LFA has been around forever. In reality, the first concept version was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in 2005, but that's a long time in the automotive world. Additional concepts followed in2007 and 2008, and the on-off rumors of a production version haven't help. Nevertheless, the production version of the LFA is finally here at the Tokyo Motor Show, and it is glorious. All of which makes it harder to stomach that the car shown here isn't expected to reach customer garages until early 2011.

The specifications of the new rear-drive Lexus supercar are impressive enough: a 4.8-liter V10 with 560 ps (552 bhp), 354 lb-ft torque, a zingy 9,000 rpm redline, six-speed sequential gearbox, 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 202 mph. It looks amazing too, both in pictures and in person. 

Of course, we can't help but make comparisons to the current reigning Japanese supercar, the Nissan GT-R. At just 3,263 pounds, the LFA easily has a better power-to-weight ratio, but that hasn't seemed to stop the all-wheel drive juggernaut before. Then there is the small matter of cost to consider. Unlike the GT-R, which is considered a performance bargain, the LFA will be exclusive – and costly. Only 500 units will be produced at a cost of...drum roll please....$375,000. Despite the colossal price tag, we hear that Lexus expects to take a loss on each one.

Will the LFA be worth the high cost? We should be able to tell you soon, as our man Damon Lavrinc will be getting some time behind the wheel of a prototype later this week. Until then, you can check out some amazing video of the LFA after the jump and live photos in the high-res galleries below.

PRESS RELEASE:

Tokyo, October 21, 2009 - Lexus announces today the official launch of the LFA, a two-seat supercar scheduled to go into production at the end of 2010 as the pinnacle of the Lexus "F" premium sports car series. Pre-sales start today.

Ultra-responsive and extremely stable even when taken to the edge, the LFA creates a sense of reassurance that opens up a new world of driving emotion, exhilarating the senses to move the driver in more ways than one.

The LFA combines high output, superb chassis design and meticulous aerodynamics to achieve instantaneous total-vehicle response characterized by high-rev, seamless acceleration echoed by a self-defining resonance from its 4.8-liter V10.

Only 500 units of the LFA are to be produced and sold worldwide.

A prototype of the LFA is now on display at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show, which is open to the general public from October 24 to November 4 at Makuhari Messe in Makuhari, Chiba Prefecture.

1. Packaging brings out the most in fundamental performance

Strong and light

The newly developed 4.8-liter V10 engine boasts exceptional power, while lightweight materials (aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and titanium alloy) and a very compact size (smaller than a conventional V8) allows for optimal weight distribution and an exceptional power-to-weight ratio.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) cabin enhances high body-rigidity and reduces weight. This unique cabin is 100kg lighter than a comparable aluminum cabin. Detailed analysis and precise matching of CFRP materials allows for high rigidity and low weight. LFA CFRP production technology, including unique CFRP-to-metal joining, was completely developed by Lexus.

Balanced
Relatively higher weight components such as the engine and transmission are placed within the wheelbase. A low center of gravity is made possible by the use of dry sump lubrication1, along with placing peripheral components (oil pump, water pump) behind the engine. Furthermore, optimal placement of the transmission and the fuel tank in front of the rear axle adds to this application of centralized mass. This minimizes weight shift during cornering and contributes to outstanding performance and stability. Lighter weight components, like the radiator and electric fans, are placed behind the rear axle.

Combined with a front-engine and rear-wheel-drive configuration, the short, wide and low body allows the LFA to achieve its target front-to-rear weight distribution of 48:52.

Driver-centered
The driver's seat is positioned near the LFA's center of gravity. The centralized seating concept (with the seat between the front and rear axles and closer to the left–right center) is made possible by the use of a rear transaxle and vertically stacked torque tube and exhaust pipes reducing the width of the center tunnel. The driver placement is aimed to provide maximum car-to-driver feedback, especially under sport or high G-force driving conditions.


2. Emotive performance embodies an extraordinary driving experience

High–rev engine

Titanium valves, ultra–light weight rocker arms with a diamond–like coating and a fully integrated lower crankcase that reduces pumping losses at high RPMs combine to provide the driver with overwhelming acceleration right up to the 9,000rpm redline. The LFA's purpose-built V10 delivers 90% of its peak torque between 3,700rpm and 9,000rpm.

Precise Response

Independent, electronically controlled throttle bodies ensure precise air-feed to each of the 10 cylinders, enabling immediate engine response from the accelerator pedal. The engine response time is approximately half the normal response time of a single-throttle valve.

The six-speed ASG transmission features heavy-duty synchronizer rings and a newly developed gearshift actuator, providing the driver with a very direct shift feel. Four selectable driving modes and a seven-stage shift-speed selector that results in upshift speeds down to 0.2 seconds provide a higher level of driver control.

Track-sized high-performance (Carbon Ceramic) CCM brake discs and Electronically Controlled Braking system generate ultra-powerful yet stable braking.

Responsive handling and engaging dynamics

The very light and rigid CFRP cabin, combined with a front double-wishbone suspension and a rear multilink suspension, result in a very stable, controlled ride. Detailed aerodynamic engineering results in elements such as a flat underbody, a diffuser and a speed-controlled rear wing, which allows precise vehicle response at all vehicle speeds, thus creating unity between driver and machine.

Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management integrates numerous vehicle dynamic functions that provide a high level of vehicle stability and preventative safety without interfering with the driver's intentions, especially when sport driving.

Exciting engine sound and L-finesse2 design
Equal-length exhaust manifolds combined with an equal-length dual exhaust system routed through a multistage titanium main muffler fine tunes the exhaust note.

An acoustically tuned surge tank linked to 10 individual throttle bodies creates a powerful induction sound. The coordination of intake and exhaust sounds overlap at various RPMs to create a unique, exciting and inspired soundtrack.

The exterior design includes carefully tuned aerodynamics and airflow management. The use of CFRP, in addition to strength and weight advantages, frees up the design of the exterior panels allowing a fresh supercar L-finesse design. The interior design combines state-of-the-art instrument-panel design and technology, along with a variety of custom-tailored interior trim packages to suit the most discerning driver.

Increased production of this significant is the effect of suspected government programs that provide subsidies for people who want to swap their old cars with new cars more efficient.

Similar cash program for the U.S. government clunker. But for these matters, Germany is a Forerunner for having started the program since 2008 ago.

The program has proved successful to put the German automotive industry to increase 26.1 percent. VW already ambitious for this level up not to waste the opportunity.

Because thanks to these subsidies, sales of VW can jump to 34 percent with total sales reaching 622.853 units. Skoda Fabia brand and is the most developed brand because its sales Jumped to 92.4 percent while Octavia rose 20.4 percent.

The success of VW became the manufacturer with the world's largest production also followed by a successful Ford beat GM production Effort won the third-largest position in the automotive world.

Isuzu D-MAX scores six airbags and more power

/Autoworld.com/ Hot on the heels of Holden's all-new Colorado, the new-generation Isuzu D-MAX boasts a bigger, bolder new design, more features including six airbags and Bluetooth connectivity and a more powerful 3.0-litre turbodiesel engine.

In line with the improved specification list is an increase in pricing across the D-MAX range. When the Thai-built range goes on sale on July 2, 22 configurations will be offered across single-cab, space-cab and crew cab body styles, five trim levels, 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains and low and high-ride chassis variants.

Pricing kicks off $2100 higher than previously at $27,200 (not including on-road and dealer costs) for the entry-level 4x2 single cab chassis SX manual. At the top of the D-MAX range sits the $51,700 4x4 crew cab LS-Terrain auto.

Though it shares its chassis with the new Holden, the new D-MAX uses different mechanicals. Isuzu will continue with the solitary engine option Down Under -- a 3.0-litre, four-cylinder common rail turbodiesel which is now rated at 130kW at 3600rpm and 380Nm at 1800rpm (up from the previous 120kW/360Nm, or 333Nm with auto).

The Euro4-compliant engine is also more fuel-efficient than its predecessor with official combined fuel consumption of 8.0-8.3L/100km (depending on configuration).

There’s a new five speed manual transmission or buyers can opt for a new five-speed automatic (a $2200 option) with hill descent and hill ascent modes. The latter replaces the old four-speed unit.

Four-wheel drive versions also benefit from a new Terrain Command system which allows on-the-fly, 2WD to 4WD selection at speeds up to 100km/h.

Jointly developed by Isuzu and General-Motors, the D-MAX shares a longer and significantly stiffer chassis with the new Holden Colorado, but the two utes have more differentiation than before.

Externally, a chrome-laden fascia, sleek, more aerodynamic lines and LED brake lights contribute to D-MAX’s "new bulkier and aggressive on-road stance", as does the wider track and increase in wheelbase (to 3095mm) and overall length (5295mm on LS-U crew cab).

Inside, the larger dimensions translate to increased cabin space across all body styles while new seating with ‘wrap around’ bolsters deliver more comfort to occupants, says Isuzu.

With the upgraded safety package extending to six airbags, antilock brakes, electronic stability control and traction control (and a reversing camera on the top-spec LS-T), Isuzu will be hoping the new D-MAX achieves the maximum five ANCAP stars when it’s tested. The outgoing model scored just three ANCAP stars.

Isuzu also claims improvements to ride and handling, thanks partially to new Flex-Ride suspension geometry for the independent coil spring, double wishbone front/leaf-spring, live axle rear set-up.

Other comfort features include air-conditioning and audio system with iPod and Bluetooth connectivity, while a roof-mounted surround sound system and multimedia touchscreen display with sat nav will be available on some variants.

A competitive 3.0 tonne braked towing capacity (on 4x4 versions) and one tonne payload across the range completes the classy workhorse package.

The new D-MAX is the latest in a raft of new or updated one-tonne ute models to arrive on our shores. In its home Thai market D-MAX boasts around 40 per cent market but in Australia the Isuzu ute currently holds less than five per cent.
