The new BMW M5

The new BMW M5 - M5 Generation 5

Once upon a time - in September 2004, he was burning on the runway at the air base Fürstenfeldbruck first time in the soul of the car tester and the topping: withdraw two kilometers at full throttle with 507 hp at Launch Control, 250 km / h without and make one sound to. The V10 did inspire. Now his successor goes with "downsized" engine at the start - fifth-generation M5

First and most important new feature: the acoustically charming V10 sucker replaced by a V8 twin turbo. 4.4 liters of displacement, (min and up to 5750 U /!) Associated 680 Nm from just 1,500 indecent and 560 hp at 6,000 rpm. Thus armed, the new M5 shoots in 4.4 seconds to 100, to leave 13.0 seconds after 200 km / h behind and surrender to stop until it reaches 305 the headwind. If the "M Driver's Package" is on board.

With 10 percent more power, which corresponds to 53 hp (5.0-liter V10 engine: 507 hp, 520 Nm), it consumes far less than its predecessor. BMW says 30 percent savings. The average consumption in the EU test cycle is 9.9 litres/100 km (CO2 emissions: 232 g / km). Efficient as start-stop and brake energy regeneration make it possible.

Power is transmitted via a classic seven-speed M double-clutch gearbox to the rear wheels. The DCT provides both automated and manual mode, three shift programs. The selection is made through a behind the shifter on the center console placed rocker button. The Launch Control for maximum acceleration, is also back on board.

The sharpened power characteristic pays the chassis tribute: Electronically controlled dampers, "M Servotronic", "M Dynamic Mode" and the high-performance brake system in compound design behind the 19-inch tires (disc diameter front: 400 x 36, rear: 396 x 24 mm ) regulate it sporty. The new rear differential with an active M improved handling, traction and driving stability when accelerating out of corners dynamic.

Viewed from the outside, form follows function: To optimize the aerodynamics of the cooling air supply and can be found front and gill flaps and a targeted air flow in the tail area, an integrated into the rear diffuser. At the end of the vehicle marks a new twin exhaust system, whose twin tailpipes on either side of the diffuser are arranged far outboard from the factory very fully equipped top-of-5 series. The M-cockpit sports seats, new leather-covered center console and Aluzier makes the difference. With standard features such as "merino" leather, 4-zone AC, Head-Up Display, Xenon headlights with adaptive cornering lights, night vision, and Surround View lane change and lane departure warning system is hardly open a wish. From November, the new M5 comes against the wild brush with family option on the Audi RS6, the Cadillac CTS-V and the Mercedes E 63 AMG. The last previous cost around 95,000 euros. With the new M5, the price list says now on € 102 700.

The rearview mirrors are based in the window no longer triangular, but are now mounted on the door. The LED daytime running lights and modernity are seen in the indicators. The self-imposed diet bears fruit grown in spite of dimension. About 45 pounds were saved thanks to lightweight construction and the use of aluminum.

Toyota surpasses GM in the first half of 2011

If 2008 marked the passing of the General Motors Toyota in the ranking of the world's largest producers of cars, the 2011 could see the American group to go first. Not only that Toyota, which is still paying the consequences of the terrible earthquake that hit Japan in March, could go directly from first to third place, overtaken by an increasingly aggressive Volkswagen Group.

Revised goals. According to data reported by the House, in the first six months of the year, GM sold 4.54 million units worldwide (+8.9% over the same period of 2010), compared with 4.13 million of the Volkswagen Group (+14.3%) and 3.71 million from Toyota (including Lexus brands, Daihatsu and Hino). The Japanese manufacturer said that the production will return to pre-earthquake in September, but has revised downward its annual objectives of 6% ​​compared with forecasts made in December last year: the aim now is to production of 7.15 million units in 2011, compared to 8.04 before the earthquake imagined. Now it is likely that the ranking does not change the world than that of the first six months of the year: GM first, second VW, Toyota third. The goal of the Volkswagen Group to become the first manufacturer in the world in 2018 now seems even more at your fingertips.

Station Comparison

These are two classic station wagon in the sense of the term: a body-sized car (we are around 4.80 meters in length), a front part which reflects the Sisters of saloons and a rear area that is not the minimum discount on practicality. The redesign has not brought big news on the Passat, however, difficult to improve already high levels seen: just a few gestures to find a very good driving position and even the secondary controls are placed on the console and tunnel in a very rational. Peugeot on the other hand, are just the secondary commands to cause the greatest concern: those on the steering wheel are too many and not very intuitive, while the platform with rotellone for radio and navigation is a bit 'far back on the tunnel. For both, the space on board is large, so that even when traveling in five has not had to sacrifice meaningful. Even the vans are similar: that the 508 is slightly larger (481 liters, up from 467 the German), but the Passat has the secret weapon, or a closet from 82 liters under the cargo floor. Furthermore it has a finish more accurately and, if required, can be equipped with an effective restraint system for luggage.

Rolls-Royce Phantom I

History of this car (in pics):

Originally the car was a 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I with a body built in 1934 by Jonckheere of Belgium. Like all other prewar Rolls-Royce motorcars, this Phantom I was delivered new in chassis-only form to a coachbuilder. Hooper & Co. was the chosen body maker and in 1925, the completed vehicle was delivered with cabriolet coachwork to its first owner, a Mrs. Hugh Dillman of Detroit. Mrs. Dillman reportedly did not like the car and it appears never to have left England.

The Rolls-Royce was purchased by the Raja of Nanpara before being passed on to an unknown number of other owners and by 1932 was seen in Belgium. Two years later its then owner sent the car to Jonckheere of Belgium to be stripped of its cabriolet body and fitted with fashionably aerodynamic coachwork complete with twin sunroofs, a large fin, a sloping radiator shell, and round doors.

Although the design was controversial and not highly regarded by most Rolls-Royce aficionados, the car was well received by Concours d’Elegance judges of the day and was reported to have taken a Prix d’Honneur at the August, 1936 Cannes Concours d’Elegance.

The prize winning car then passed through the hands of several other owners, and was observed in Bar Harbor, Maine before World War II being driven by a chauffeur who was supposedly so obese, that he could not get out of the car to assist his employer to disembark. The Round Door Rolls was next discovered in the 1950’s, in New Jersey, in a junk yard.

It is not known who rescued the car from being scrapped, but East Coast entrepreneur Max Obie eventually acquired the unusual Rolls-Royce and had it refurbished. Obie would take it to shopping malls, making claims that the car had been owned by royalty and charged admission for people to look at it.
