(Audi TT) An Audi TT RS was used in 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans race as safety car.
The Abt Sportsline team entered a TT into the DTM, and Laurent A?ello took the title in 2002. Istook’s Motorsports has also raced the TT in SCCA’s World Challenge race series. Because of their racing involvement, they received the first U.S. Version of the TT-RS in July 2011. subaru wallpapers, lambo wallpaper, lamborghini wallpapers, Audi TT wallpapers, dodge wallpapers
(Porsche 997)Carrera S and 4S Following the success of the earlier 996 Carrera 4S Porsche introduced the Carrera S in 2006 which had power output increased by 29 PS (21 kW; 29 bhp) as compared to the base Carrera.
The new all-wheel-drive Coup?, Cabriolet, and Targa versions were later available either in the S version alongside the Carrera with the following additional features: increased displacement of the engine (3.8 L vs 3.6 L) with increased power lowered suspension with PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management, i.e. dynamically adjustable dampers) 19-inch wheels upgraded braking system from the 911 turbo sports exhaust Bi-Xenon headlights aluminium trim in the interior Porsche 997 wallpapers#audi #AudiA8 #McLaren #Lotus #AudiRS3
Ford introduced a re-designed 2005 model year Mustang at the 2004 North American International Auto Show, codenamed “S-197”, that was based on the new D2C platform. Developed under the direction of Chief Engineer Hau Thai-Tang, a veteran engineer for Ford’s IndyCar program under Mario Andretti, and exterior styling designer Sid Ramnarace, the fifth-generation Mustang’s styling echoes the fastback Mustang models of the late-1960s. Ford’s senior vice president of design, J Mays, called it “retro-futurism.” The fifth-generation Mustang was manufactured at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Flat Rock, Michigan.
For the 2005 to 2010 production years, the base model was powered by a 210 hp (157 kW; 213 PS) cast-iron block 4.0 L SOHC V6, while the GT used an aluminum block 4.6 L SOHC 3-valve Modular V8 with variable camshaft timing (VCT) that produced 300 hp (224 kW; 304 PS). Base models had a Tremec T5 5-speed manual transmission with Ford’s 5R55S 5-speed automatic being optional. Automatic GTs also featured this, but manual GTs had the Tremec TR-3650 5-speed.
The 2010 model year Mustang was released in the spring of 2009 with a redesigned exterior ? which included sequential LED taillights ? and a reduced drag coefficient of 4% on base models and 7% on GT models. The engine for base Mustangs remained unchanged, while GTs 4.6 L V8 was revised resulting in 315 hp (235 kW; 319 PS) at 6000 rpm and 325 lb?ft (441 N?m) of torque at 4255 rpm. Other mechanical features included new spring rates and dampers, traction and stability control system standard on all models, and new wheel sizes. subaru wallpapers, supercar wallpaper, lotus wallpapers, Ford Mustang wallpapers, aston martin wallpapers
(Mitsubishi Evo)The USDM Lancer Evolution IX models: standard (Grand Sport Rally or “GSR” in some markets), RS (Rally Sport), SE (Special Edition) and MR (Mitsubishi Racing) varied slightly in their performance capabilities. Subtleties unique to each model accounted for variations in acceleration, handling and top speed. The RS excluded features that came standard on the SE and MR models (stereo system, power windows and locks, rear wiper, rear wing, trunk lining and sound insulation). The result is a weight savings of over 60 lb (27 kg). The fuel capacity remains the same as the Evo VIII at 14 U.S. gal (53 L).
Although the RS is the lightest of the group, the RS did not manage to outperform the standard IX and the MR around a road course (even if only by fractions of a second). This was purported to be due to the lack of a rear wing on the RS. In a drag race, the three models are all about even. They are all capable of 0-60 mph (97 km/h) times between 4.2?4.5 seconds, and can run 1/4 mile (402 m) times ranging from 12.6 to 13.3 (12.7?13.0 USA versions) seconds depending on the model/driver. The RS model was produced for rally and racing teams who wanted a platform to build a race car from. It is stripped of all the creature comforts, and other upgrades that drive the price up for features that the race teams would not require.

A version of the G-Class CDI with five differential locks and six-wheel-drive, half a meter of ground clearance, twin-turbo V8 engine from G 63 AMG, AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission, increased ground clearance to 460 millimetres with diving depth increased to 1000 millimetres, 18-inch beadlock wheels, 37 x 12.5 x 18 inch all-terrain tyres, flared wheel arches in carbon fibre, rear load area with stainless-steel roll-over bar, four electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated individual seats, red or light brown exclusive “designo” leather interior upholstery, rear compartment with a special center console, the roof liner and pillars in Alcantara covering, rear panel trimmed in leather. The top speed is limited to 160 km/h and it is capable of reaching 100 km/h in around 7 seconds.
On February 17, 2015 GTspirit reported that the G 63 AMG 6×6 has been sold out. Mercedes-Benz managed to sell more units of the G 63 AMG 6×6 than originally anticipated. The last customer delivery is expected to leave the G-Class factory in Graz, Austria in May, a little over 100 units have been built. aston martin wallpapers, super car, chevrolet wallpapers, Mercedes G Class wallpapers, mazda wallpapers
(Porsche 997)Cabriolet For the first time, development of the cabriolet version of the 997 led the design and engineering effort at Porsche with the coup? following. Porsche applied the logic that if you started with the more difficult cabriolet challenges (for chassis stiffness) the coup? version would simply be more rigid. Despite additional weight, the cabriolet versions attain nearly the same performance figures as their coup? counterparts. Even the rear tail comes up slightly higher on the cabriolets to compensate for differences in drag over the canvas top vs. the smoother coup? shape. The 997 cabriolet had factory optional hard tops that provided extended protection from unexpected weather conditions than the conventional canvas top. It is interchangeable with that available on the late 996 cabriolet models. The hardtop provides a winter option to cabriolet owners.

The GT uses a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, with the engine positioned inside of the vehicle’s wheelbase. The spaceframe chassis and body are made out of aluminium alloys, while the trunk lid is made of steel and the hood is made of magnesium. The suspension system is a double wishbone unit at the front and rear, with forged aluminium wishbones and hub carriers.
The car is powered by a 4.0-litre M178 twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The engine is in “hot inside V” configuration?with exhaust manifolds and turbochargers inside the cylinder banks to reduce turbo lag?and uses dry-sump lubrication. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT dual-clutch transmission; the GT S variant employs an electronically controlled mechanical limited-slip differential. In a road test executed by Car and Driver, the GT S accelerated from 0?97 km/h (60mph) in 3.0 seconds, completed the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds and attained a top speed of 311 km/h (193 mph). dodge wallpapers, supercars wallpaper, lamborghini wallpapers, Mercedes AMG GT wallpapers, lexus wallpapers
(Porsche Taycan)The Taycan uses a new battery-electric drivetrain consisting of a permanent-magnet synchronous motor on each axle, allowing the car to have an all-wheel drive layout. At the front, power is sent to the wheels through a single-speed gearbox. At the rear, power is sent to the rear wheels through a two-speed transmission with a short first gear providing maximum acceleration performance and a long-ratio second gear delivering top speed and efficiency. Power comes from a 93 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that doubles as a structural chassis component and keeps the center of gravity low. In order to address space issues for passenger sitting on the rear seats, recesses called “foot garages” have been incorporated in the battery pack to improve legroom.
The driving range depends upon how the car is driven and what driving mode is selected. A “range” driving setting puts the car in a power save mode with the lowest power consumption while an “Overdrive” mode utilises maximum power while decoupling the front axle. The car has a total of five modes namely Sport, Sport Plus, Normal, Overdrive, Range along with an Individual mode in which the driver can customise various settings of the car. Regenerative braking provides up to 265 kW. Porsche Taycan wallpapers#Ford #Jeep #Nissan370Z #pagani #AudiRS3
(Audi) In 2003, two Bentley Speed 8s, with engines designed by Audi, and driven by Joest drivers loaned to the fellow Volkswagen Group company, competed in the GTP class, and finished the race in the top two positions, while the Champion Racing R8 finished third overall, and first in the LMP900 class. Audi returned to the winner’s podium at the 2004 race, with the top three finishers all driving R8s: Audi Sport Japan Team Goh finished first, Audi Sport UK Veloqx second, and Champion Racing third. jeep wallpapers, supercars, subaru wallpapers, Audi wallpapers, audi wallpapers
(Mitsubishi Outlander)The Outlander PHEV has a 12 kWh lithium-ion battery pack capable of delivering an all-electric range of 52.3 km (32.5 mi) under the New European Driving Cycle. Under the Japanese JC08 test the all-electric range is 60 km (37 mi), with a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph). The battery pack is located in a dust- and waterproof encasement positioned beneath the passenger compartment subfloor and between the front and rear axles, with no intrusion into the passenger compartment. It consists of 80 cells configured in series. Mitsubishi’s target was to achieve a combined fuel economy for Japan in “EV Drive” mode of 67 km/l equivalent, or equivalent to about 157 miles per U.S. gallon (MPGe). Fuel economy in hybrid mode for Japan is 5.3 L/100 km (44 mpg-US). Mitsubishi Outlander wallpapers#Mitsubishi #jeep #ChevroletCamaro #chevrolet #AudiRS3
The GT R is a high-performance variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT and was introduced at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 24 June 2016. The M178 engine in this variant is tuned to an output of 430 kW (585 PS; 577 hp) at 6,250 rpm and 700 N?m (516 lb?ft) of torque at 5,500 rpm. The GT R accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 319 km/h (198 mph).
While the GT R retains the key mechanical differences the GT C gains over the GT S, it also gains manually adjustable coilover springs (in conjunction with the AMG Ride Control suspension of the base models), an active underbody fairing, a manually adjustable rear wing, and a 9-mode AMG Traction Control system. As befitting of a high-performance variant, the GT R loses Keyless-Go, the integrated garage-door opener, the heated and power-folding side mirrors, the auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors and reverts to the basic light-weight 4-speaker audio system that the GT comes with.
When it was launched, the GT R had several cosmetic changes compared with the standard car, notably the vertical slats in the front grille, an adjustable rear wing, new front air intakes and new front and rear diffusers. The styling of the GT R is more comparable to that of the AMG GT3 race car. However, the base GT variant gained several of these cosmetic changes as part of a mild facelift in the 2017 model year. The GT R went on sale in November 2016, with deliveries beginning in 2017.
It completed a lap of the N?rburgring Nordschleife track in 7:10.92, in a test conducted by German magazine Sport Auto. hence earning it the seventh position for street legal vehicles in 2019.
A roadster version was introduced in March 2019 and would be limited to 750 units. chevrolet wallpapers, car wallpaper, nissan wallpapers, Mercedes AMG GT wallpapers, bmw wallpapers
For 2010, Ford introduced its second high-performance truck, the SVT Raptor. In contrast to the enhanced on-road performance of the SVT Lightning, the SVT Raptor is a focused towards off-road use, in line with that of a Baja 1000 racing truck. While a road-legal vehicle, many design modifications of the Raptor were made to improve its off-road capability, with the vehicle featuring a model-exclusive suspension with long-travel springs and shocks. The Raptor shares only its cab with a standard F-150; to accommodate its larger tires, the Raptor is fitted with wider front fenders, hood, and pickup bed. Initially produced as a SuperCab, a Raptor SuperCrew was introduced late in the 2010 model year. For the first time on a Ford vehicle in North America since 1983, the word “Ford” was spelled across the grille of the SVT Raptor in place of the Ford Blue Oval badge.
For 2010, the SVT Raptor was powered by a 310 hp 5.4L V8; a 411 hp 6.2L V8 (from the F-150 Platinum and Super Duty trucks) became optional, replacing the 5.4L V8 for 2011. A six-speed automatic is the sole transmission paired with both engines.
After a two-year hiatus, the second-generation Ford Raptor (the SVT prefix was removed) was introduced for the 2017 model year. Derived from the thirteenth-generation F-Series, the Ford Raptor shifted to an aluminum body. Again produced as a high-performance off-road vehicle, the Raptor is produced in SuperCab and SuperCrew configurations, with long-travel suspension specific to the vehicle. As a design theme, the second-generation Raptor does not carry a Ford Blue Oval grille badge, instead spelling out “Ford” across the grille.
To improve fuel economy and reduce weight, the 6.2L V8 was replaced by a 450 Horsepower and 510 Ft-Lbs torque High Output 3.5L twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
For 2019, Ford made upgrades to enhance the off-road capability of the Raptor series truck line. They introduced new FOX Live Valve Shocks. The new shocks auto adjust the suspension’s compression dampening based on the terrain via a live sensor electrically controlled solenoid valves. This new Terrain Management System works with sensors in the body to adjust as the truck is driving. The new Trail control for 2019 also adds adaptive cruise control for off-road use.
Ford also added an optional Blue Accent Package with RECARO? front racing seats for the 2019 model year. mclaren wallpapers, lamborghini, aston martin wallpapers, Ford F Series wallpapers, porsche wallpapers
(Nissan Pathfinder)A concept, nearly identical to the eventual production model, was first revealed at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. Retail availability was scheduled for September 2012. The new Pathfinder is only available with a VQ35DE 3.5-Liter V6 engine producing 260 hp (194 kW) and 240 lb-ft (325 Nm) of torque. City, highway and combined average fuel economy numbers are 20 (City), 26 (Highway) and 22 (Combined) mpg for the FWD version and 19 (City), 25 (Highway) and 21 (Combined) mpg for the 4WD version. The Pathfinder is now significantly lighter than the previous generation, with the FWD model weighing 4149 pounds, while the 4WD Pathfinder weighs 4290 pounds.
This generation also abandons the door handles that were placed on the C pillar that were present in the previous three generations. As of 2015 the R52 series is only available in North America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and the Middle East. It has not been scheduled to go on sale in Japan, nor is it assembled there. Nissan Pathfinder wallpapers#maserati #Ferrari #PorscheCayman #Nissan370Z #AudiRS3
The P400S Miura, also known as the Miura S, made its introduction at the Turin Motor Show in November 1968, where the original chassis had been introduced three years earlier. It was slightly revised from the P400, with the addition of power windows, bright chrome trim around external windows and headlights, new overhead inline console with new rocker switches, engine intake manifolds made 2 mm larger, different camshaft profiles, and notched trunk end panels (allowing for slightly more luggage space). Engine changes were reportedly good for an additional 20 PS (15 kW; 20 hp).
Other revisions were limited to creature comforts, such as a locking glovebox lid, a reversed position of the cigarette lighter and windshield wiper switch, and single release handles for front and rear body sections. Other interior improvements included the addition of power windows and optional air conditioning, available for US$800. About 338 P400S Miura were produced between December 1968 and March 1971. One S #4407 was owned by Frank Sinatra. Miles Davis also owned one, which he crashed in October 1972 under the influence of cocaine, breaking both ankles. Eddie Van Halen owned one and can be heard revving it up during the bridge in the song Panama. lambo urus wallpaper, supercars, aventador, Lamborghini Miura wallpapers, car backgrounds
(Lamborghini Murcielago)Murci?lago LP 670?4 SuperVeloce (2009?2010) At the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini unveiled the ultimate variant of the Murci?lago, the LP 670?4 SuperVeloce. The SV moniker had previously appeared on the Diablo SV, and Miura. The SV variants are more extreme and track-oriented than the normal production variants and are usually produced in limited numbers.

Quality control of the early 3.5 L (3,464 cc) engines was very high. Each one underwent tests for 24 hours on a Schenk Walge dynamometer, being run for the first 12 hours under electric power, and then with gasoline at increasing speeds, producing 280 bhp (284 PS; 209 kW) at 6500 rpm and 325 N?m (240 lbf?ft) of torque at 4500 rpm. A detailed analysis was made of its behavior before installation in the car for at least 500 kilometres of mixed-test running by Wallace. lambo wallpaper, lamborghini wallpaper, lamborghini urus, Lamborghini 350 GT wallpapers, veneno wallpaper
(Lamborghini Gallardo)LP 550-2 Spyder (2011?2013) In 2012, the LP 550-2 Spyder was introduced with the same specifications as the Coup?, as the lowest priced Spyder model.
