BMW M3

By the appearance of both the M3 sedan and the all new M4 coupe, BMW has revealed a new modern concept of a sport cars with no ordinary performance
The M3 is built to erase anything appears on the road thanks to its sophisticated technology applied on both the aerodynamics and the engine.
Under the hood, we find a new straight six equipped with Twin turbo delivers 431bhp between 5,390 and 7,000 rpm and 550Nm of torque, the engine pushes the M3 from 0 to 100km/h in 4.1 second and a maximum speed electronically limited to 250km/h or a 280km/h with the M Driver's package is chosen. the cooling system has been reviewed to optimize the engine performance addling an intercooler to maximize the charge pressure and engine output same as a main radiator.
The engine can be associated to  a six speed manual gearbox or a double clutch 7 speed Drivelogic with lunch control, the six speed manual is about 12 Kg lighter than the one used in previous model and more efficient.
The 3rd generation of the M DCT show the BMW ability to make the best better, this new gearbox prompt a new high revving turbocharged engine, the Lunch control ensures optimum sprinting performance off the line a lot better than a manual gearbox.
All this hard work will not be enough if the weight a lot, that why BMW engineers gave it a hard diet that the result: they have saved about 80 Kg, starting from materiel used in the engine components, aluminium suspension and ending with the carbon fiber roof.
Thanks to the electromechanical steering wheel, the M3 become more precise around corners, it is adjusted electronically by the servotronic function according to the car's speed Like the M4,  it contains 3 modes: Comfort, Sport and Sport +.

Once you get into the M3, you will see lot of similarity with the standard 3 series and the 4 series, except the M badges that you find everywhere, bucket seats offers optimal seating position.

Pagani Huayra

The design of the new huayra is completely new and much different from the big brother Zonda where it took many of it technology and material tested first on it, with its new wing door same as Lamborghini made from cabrontitanium making the Huayra the lightest sport car in it class with only 1350Kg, even though, the 85 litre fuel tank was completely integrated in the best place of the monocoque for best safety/
To make it move, Pagani has fitted the famous 6.0 litre V12 AMG engine made by Mercedes, the engineers have added 2 turbos because they thought that one turbo is not enough, they have been developed to give the best response, so the power went up to 700bhp and 1000Nm of torque, as for the cooling system, to optimize it they have placed both of the two lateral radiators in front.
The power is transferred to the wheels via a sophisticated dual clutch sequential 7 speed gearbox, it benefit from the weight reduction strategy to make the Huayra as agile as possible, it only weight 96Kg

The Huayra’s suspension has been taken from the one available on the Zonda R and it has been extremely tested on the Zonda R. Huayra not only took the suspension and the high tech used in the Zonda engine, but it used the LED daytime light as well. Once the driver closes the door, he finds himself in a all new Italian world, classic, sporty and a high tech at the same time, starting with the leather latches to toggle switches, and what takes all the attention is the mechanical gearlever assembly, the dashboard is made from aluminum and includes a Multi-Function high definition touch screen display showing what mode is active and many other details.

Ferrai La Ferrari

The new LaFerrari has been designed to show the world the new concept of a supercar that excels in terms of technology and innovation, performance, design and the way they have included Formula 1 technology in it. For the first time, Ferrari has fitted it supercar with active dynamic and the HY-KERS with dynamic controls, which why, the car is able to reach maximum level performance and best handling, with a weight distribution is 59% rear and compact wheelbase guarantee perfect handling.
The car's chassis made of four different types of carbon-fibre, all hand-laminated and autoclave-cured in the racing department using the same design and production methods as the Formula 1 car to optimise the design.
The engine is a big 6.3 litre V12 delivers 800 bhp revving to 9250 rpm and a 900Nm of torque, a record for an that kind of engines. 0 to 100 km/h in only 3 seconds and to 200 km/h doesn't take more than 7 seconds, when tested on the Fiorano track it made 1.20", which is 5 seconds faster than the big brother Enzo and 3 seconds faster than the F12
The car motor is matched with the F1 dual-clutch gearbox for optimal weight distribution.

LaFerrari integrated what we call active aerodynamics and hybrid system with the other dynamic control systems aboard. So it responds instantly to driver inputs. To make all this power stops in time, the braking system is made by the famous Brembo and guarantee a correct cooling and carbon-ceramic material

Lamborghini Huracan

This is how Gallardo’s successor looks like, a successful new design that shows how pure supercars should look like, with its new technology, there is no doubt this is one of the best models of Lamborghini today. This new edgy and bold design is the beginning of a new philosophy of the Italian beast.
The huracan’s engine is a new 5.2 litre V10 delivering a 610bhp turning at 8500rpm, the torque is not less than 560Nm at 6500rpm, that means a power ratio of only 2.33 per bhp allowing a top speed of 325 km and a 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h takes 9.9 seconds, the fuel consumption is average 12.5 litre/100km thanks to it very light chassis that weight only 1422 Kg, the engine is associated to a 7 speed dual clutch transmission “LDF” and a four wheel drive with 3 different modes. Lamborghini has fitted the Huracan with an optional steering system called Lamborghini Dynamic Steering Variable and a MagneRide electromagnetic damper control
We find in the interior a quite big TFT display 12.3 inches with a resolution of 1440x540 pixels containing many configurations for different modes and settings in advanced 3D graphics. The seats are very low providing the body a very precise grip and support, they can be electrically adjusted and they are available in different colors but dominated by the Nero Ade Black, the two tone interior is optional. The dashbored is in dark alcantara to avoid reflexion in the windshield while driving and there is also a Nappa leather.

BMW M4

After the M division has finally revealed the new monster of the BMW 3 series, now a new baby monster was born, it is called the M4, we can say that it is made for people who think that the M3 is not powerful enough and yet, they say that the M5 is too much for them, the M4 is a new interpretation for a high performance sport car.
The M4's engine is a straight 6 twin turbo producing not less than 431bhp and 550Nm of torque. The engine turns up to 7600rpm, thanks to its twin turbo, the result is a linear power delivery over a wide engine speed range, from 0 to 100km/h takes 4.1 seconds and top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h, if the owner go for the  optional M package the top speed continue till 280km/h, even all this power, the consumption is more than reasonable, the M 4 average 8.4l/100km. BMW wanted to make this car not only for race tracks but for everyday's use as well, that's why they have developed a superb cooling system to control the temperature of the engine in high speed and in the city as well; alongside the ultradynamic twin turbocharger units, the air intake system of the engine also includes an indirect intercooler, maximising charge pressure and engine output. As well as a main radiator, the track-ready cooling concept also comprises a water cooler repositioned to the side for the high- and low temperature water circuits.
The power is transferred to the wheels thanks to the 6 sped manual transmission with double plate clutch. this manual gearbox uses a new carbon friction linings in its synchroniser rings. Dry sump lubrication supplies in a efficient way oil to all parts of the engine.
Also, there is a 7 speed M double clutch transmission Drivelogic with lunch control, this is the third generation of the M DCT, it prompts the new high-revving turbocharged engine into emotionally impressive feats. same as changing gear automatically, in manual mode the gear change is very quick. The Launch Control function ensures optimum sprinting performance off the line, producing acceleration figures that would be out of range with the manual gearbox.
As for the power steering, in the M4 is it completely electronic allowing more precision around corners thanks to an integrated Servotronic that adjusts the level of steering assistance depending on the car's speed, providing optimum steering at all speeds. it offers the driver three settings. COMFORT, SPORT and SPORT+ modes allow the level of steering assistance to be perfect for any driving style and situation.
About the interior, BMW did not forget to mention to the driver and passengers that they are inside no ordinary BMW, but a very sporty M 4 with the M door sill finishers, an M driver's footrest, M gearshift lever, M-design instruments with white graphics, M leather steering wheel with chrome trim, colour contrast stitching and bucket seats like the ones fitted in race cars.

M4 owners can look forward to drive this kind monster from behind a double-spoke M leather steering wheel. The M logo, chrome trim.
