In standard form this model delivers 493 bhp from its 6-cylinder, 3,8liter boxer engine, yet Sportec’s Swiss based engineers have been able to develop an upgrade package that appeals to Porsche owners requiring amore exclusive, individual and exciting driving experience. The Sportec ‘580’ conversion for the facelift 997 Turbo features a stainless steel sports exhaust system with high flow catalytic converters and two 70mm ‘twin’ tailpipes. Uniquely, the Sportec 997 Turbo sports exhaust system incorporates a pair of ‘sound throttles,’ which enable the owner to define and switch the exhaust note of the car in real time, using a supplied remote controller. In addition, the standard Porsche air filter is replaced by a Sportechigh flow panel element and finally, the ECU settings for fuelling, ignition and turbo boost parameters are reset by a bespoke Sportec remap. On Sportec’s chassis dyno’ the end result is a significant boost in power and torque – maximum figures climb to 580 bhp @ 6500 rpm, meanwhile peak torque hits 800 Nm (590 lb.ft) at just 3500 rpm. No performance data has yet been gathered for this conversion, but the 0-100 kmh time is estimated to be 3.1 seconds, with a top speed of approximately 197 mph. Yet there is more to the Sportec 580 package thanoutright power, because Sportec has concentrated on improving the driveability of the 997 Turbo – to that end there is always over 700 Nm (516 lb.ft) of torque available from 2700 – 5500 rpm, which makes this arelaxed, ultra high performance machine. Suitable for both the six speed manual or PDK variants of the November 2009 onwards Porsche 997 Turbo, the Sportec 580 upgrade packageis available now from sole UK concession APS of Brackley, priced at £9400.00 fitted, including VAT @ 17.5%. A full range of exclusive Sportec components for the facelift Porsche997 including forged alloy wheels, suspension and braking upgrades, as well as cosmetic enhancements, is also now available.

NOVITEC ROSSO Refines the Ferrari 2+2-Seater 2+2-seaters have a long and illustrious tradition at Ferrari. The 612 Scaglietti seamlessly continued this tremendous success story since its debut in the fall of 2003. To make this extraordinary automobile even more exclusive and to add an even higher level of customization NOVITEC ROSSO now offers new accessories such as a custom-tailored tire/wheel combination with diameters of 20 and 21 inches, a power increase to 565 hp / 416 kW, a stainless-steel sport exhaust system, new taillight design and upgrades for the interior. Wheels make a car and for a Ferrari the best is just good enough. The NOVITEC ROSSO suspension specialists have developed custom versions of the three-piece NF3 alloy wheels for the Italian sports car. The new wheels feature a striking design with five double spokes and polished outer flanges. Contrary to the 19-inch production wheels, the 612 Scaglietti in NOVITEC ROSSO trim sports a combination of size 9Jx20 wheels in front and size 12.5Jx21 rims on the rear axle. This measure benefits not only the driving dynamics of the car but also and foremost the coupe's appearance. The staggered wheels further emphasize the wedge-shaped design of the two-door car. In the P Zero tire technology partner Pirelli offers the perfect ultra-high-performance tires for this tire/wheel combination that makes optimal use of the available space in the wheel wells Tires in size 275/30 ZR 20 on the front axle provide enormous grip during fast cornering and hard braking. Tires in size 355/25 R 21 on the rear axle allow even higher cornering speeds and provide maximum traction. The exclusive look can be further upgraded with black NOVITEC ROSSO lamps. The complete package comprises the four round taillights, the reflectors and the side markers. Further cornerstones of the NOVITEC ROSSO program for the 612 Scaglietti are a power increase and an even sportier exhaust note. The inner workings of the V12 engine with a displacement of 5,748 cm³ remain untouched. The power increase to 565 hp / 416 kW at 7,290 rpm is the product of a newly calibrated engine management system and the NOVITEC ROSSO stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system. The tuning gives the V12 engine an even crisper response and lets it rev up even faster. Simultaneously peak torque grows to 609 Nm at 5,300 rpm. A top speed of more than 325 km/h and a sprint time for 0 - 100 km/h of just 3.9 seconds make the 2+2-seater an even more dominant sports car. The NOVITEC ROSSO sport exhaust system is an integral part of the power increase and produces a truly delightful exhaust note. The NOVITEC ROSSO exhaust is easily distinguished by its four 90-mm tailpipes cut at an angle. NOVITEC ROSSO upgrades the four-seat interior according to customers' personal preferences. The ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel comes in any color imaginable. But that's not all: Customers can also freely choose the steering wheel's material as well as the thickness of the rim. The rim is flattened at the bottom for easier entering and exiting of the vehicle. Every NOVITEC ROSSO interior is characterized by its masterful precision finish and its striking colors. But NOVITEC ROSSO realizes not only Ferrari owners' personal material and color selections, it also custom-tailors the seat to each customer's body measurements. Special requests such as for seats with even more lateral support or a lowered seat position for especially tall drivers round out the interior customization program.

Mercedes-Benz dealers now using iPads to sell cars

The company has decided to make the Apple iPad available to its US dealer network. Mercedes will implement its Proprietary MB Advantage dealer system which will become available through the Apple iPad interface. They hope this will bring their business extra flexibility, information on the showroom floor. Moreno said he started using his own iPad on a limited basis to handle leased vehicles, and is now among the dealers in the company's official iPad pilot program. When the customer arrives, Moreno carries his iPad with him outside to do returns on the spot. <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEietav9vrO6xO1eKUy8hitB6U2luXfvhqqYLYix3BVHHJtWnWYBgYVjj3qEkYm6V1aVIZczD2NFyWRxh91iXBSLEYnSpX1_8Bk55aonJarobcvLvlmEpjsyynGS2Di08wX9PlvgLDjmvIk/s1600/Mercedes-Apple-iPad-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Mercedes dealers go for Apple iPad" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475861718933826354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEietav9vrO6xO1eKUy8hitB6U2luXfvhqqYLYix3BVHHJtWnWYBgYVjj3qEkYm6V1aVIZczD2NFyWRxh91iXBSLEYnSpX1_8Bk55aonJarobcvLvlmEpjsyynGS2Di08wX9PlvgLDjmvIk/s200/Mercedes-Apple-iPad-1.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 82px;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisClGtPUlkX7gAkg4_iz8tTf0rqKJxeWH_0S6j7VNklqtnnQal8meSHi5RfX5NBVo6xUIf0JgyLoqeI8uRaOnyi9zG89WlOCnJC8Ws_9Vyes3ILxjLZTpb2FqZ5KbI1LkcUzRGcNww7Mk/s1600/Mercedes-Apple-iPad-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Mercedes dealers go for Apple iPad" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475861535192717682" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisClGtPUlkX7gAkg4_iz8tTf0rqKJxeWH_0S6j7VNklqtnnQal8meSHi5RfX5NBVo6xUIf0JgyLoqeI8uRaOnyi9zG89WlOCnJC8Ws_9Vyes3ILxjLZTpb2FqZ5KbI1LkcUzRGcNww7Mk/s200/Mercedes-Apple-iPad-2.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 82px;" /></a></center> Press Release Mercedes-Benz Financial, which has received more than $5 million in lease and loan payments from customers via their mobile phone devices since becoming the first auto finance company to establish that payment channel late last year, is now taking its mobile strategy to the showroom floor to benefit dealers and customers. Mercedes-Benz Financial today announced that it is putting the Apple iPad(TM) into the hands of its dealers, becoming the first automotive finance company to give dealers mobile access to its proprietary point-of-sale dealer system called MB Advantage. In doing so, Mercedes-Benz Financial is one of the first companies to adapt the consumer-oriented iPad as a mobile business tool. MB Advantage on the iPad will give dealership sales personnel instant access to marketing programs for specific models, quicker turn time on the credit application process, and increase speed and efficiency on the return of lease vehicles. "We see the iPad providing wireless mobility, information and flexibility on the showroom floor," said Andreas Hinrichs, Vice President of Marketing for Mercedes-Benz Financial. "The iPad will provide a competitive advantage to our dealers by increasing their service levels through a more flexible financing process." Hinrichs said the size and versatility of the iPad makes it compatible to access MB Advantage via the mobile device and to take the dealer system from the finance & leasing office to the showroom floor. Mercedes-Benz Financial will distribute iPads to 40 selected dealers throughout the United States to test iPad as a business tool. The company will monitor iPad usage and collect feedback from dealers and field sales staff over the summer. Improvements to MB Advantage on iPad, based on dealer feedback, will be incorporated before potentially making the mobile device available to all Mercedes-Benz dealerships later this year. "With the exciting, new products coming out from Mercedes-Benz, the iPad with MB Advantage gives us tremendous credibility with our clients," said Bernie Moreno, President of Mercedes-Benz of North Olmsted, Ohio, near Cleveland. Since launching its iPhone app last October, which allows Mercedes-Benz Financial customers to make payments on their vehicle lease or loan from their iPhone, Mercedes-Benz Financial has had more than 13,000 downloads, approximately 5,000 payments and $3.6 million in payments received. That launch was followed in March by giving customers who use smart phones the same capability to manage their Mercedes-Benz Financial accounts from their mobile devices. That has resulted in over 15,000 visitors, more than 2,000 payments and $1.5 million received in payments.

BMW 3 Series Travels 1,013 Miles on One Tank of Fuel

<center><img height="399" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ygdIE5ExgJFHaAGwQYIiclP4K3LMkuioj9-jLmnrs6tkpJ4tJKbXFxf5CZCBNqlYBjWoAmJ8nH1ffcmtjQCbrncsqS0YkqD1APtQx-2c4hVOoFjbq73qcFP1X_dUr1GfABXwKXL-KAP3/s1600/BMW-320d-EfficientDynamics-29.jpg" width="600" /></center> BMW has just unveiled a new iteration of the 3-Series, and it is making quite a splash in Europe. It won’t be coming across the pond, but we sure wish that it were. The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Saloon develops 163 hp between 3,500 rpm to 4,200 rpm and 360 Nm of torque from 1,750 rpm to 3,000rpm. This enables the car to sprint from naught to 62mph in 8.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h). UK motoring journalist Tom Ford drove a new BMW 320d EfficientDynamics sedan from the UK to Munich and back, on one tank of diesel fuel. The total distance travelled was 1,630 kilometres (1,013 miles), which means the car delivered 68.9mpg overall and CO2 emissions of only 109g/km. These are the same figures claimed by BMW. BMW can be proud and owners of the E90 320d who must have known the car was capable of such range. Biggest reason for the good news is that the car achieved figures of 75.9 mpg UK (63.2 mpg US or 3.7lt/100km), and never went below 65 mpg UK (54.1 mpg US or 4.4 lt/100km) for the entire trip. The overall figures for Tom Ford and the BMW 320d come in at an average speed of 59.3mph (95.4km/h) and 68.9mpg UK (57.4 mpg US or 4.1 lt/100km). It propels the BMW from zero to 62mph (100km/h) in 8.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 137mph or 220km/h while returning a combined fuel consumption of 4.1 lt/100km, equal to 57.4mpg US or 68.9 mpg UK, and a CO2 rating of 109g/km in the EU test cycle. <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZRiQActmQwBv9NZtGHkySnph8NGEsTU4IuibH4GZFqET87VZpV6sW_ed2RNeDHOgcZyH73NS2Qk4h9ZhXmEOLqik0Fnft7r2OHwHV7uRj60ibjPXUus2zFqL_5b8hi6HwGxQsXH0j6EEc/s1600/BMW-320d-EfficientDynamics-31.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="color: rgb(173, 0, 0);

Filled up at the Channel Tunnel, the new BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Saloon made it to Munich, then as far as Lille on the return leg - a staggering total of 1,013 miles on a single tank of fuel - before needing to be refuelled. To put it in a UK geographic context, the distance achieved would have meant being able to drive from Land's End to John O'Groats, and still having 200 miles range left in the tank. Just as impressive was that the intrepid driver - motoring journalist and TV presenter Tom Ford - didn't use efficient driving techniques such as coasting, or drive deliberately slowly for the trip, coverage of which appeared in yesterday's Sunday Times newspaper. Although switching the air con and radio off as a concession to fuel saving, Tom managed a reasonable motorway pace all the way there and back, proving that in the real world, the new BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Saloon delivers what it promises on paper - an official combined figure of 68.9mpg and CO2 emissions of only 109g/km. On the way to Munich, Tom achieved highs of 75.9mpg, and didn't dip below 65mpg for the entire trip. With an average speed of 59.3mph, the car achieved 68.9mpg overall. He said: "I was prepared for this car to fail in the real world. I was wrong. Although I did try and be careful and drive in a feather-footed manner, I did cruise at a reasonable 65ish mph on the autoroutes and autobahns, so faster than the usual economy run pace. "Think about it in the context of everyday motoring: comfortably more than 1,000 miles on one tank of diesel means just 12 fills a year for the average motorist - and even driven normally I still think you're looking at 750-800 miles per fill. BMW's EfficientDynamics: it does what it says on the tin." The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Saloon develops 163hp between 3,500rpm to 4,200rpm and 360Nm of torque from 1,750rpm to 3,000rpm. This equates to a zero to 62mph time of 8.2 seconds and a top speed of 137mph ensuring that while it might be extremely efficient, it still offers sporting performance - a fact not lost on Tom. He said: "It's difficult to tell the difference between this model and a standard 320d in terms of driving performance which is brilliant. It means that as well as the obvious financial advantages, this special 320d is a car for the environmentally conscious who still want a car that drives superbly." For drivers choosing the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Saloon, there is no VED to pay for the first year of purchase due to its low CO2 figure and a 13 per cent benefit-in-kind company car tax rating and sporting ability thanks to its 163bhp. For a business buying one, the sub 110g/km emissions mean 100 per cent first year writing down allowances, allowing the model's full first year depreciation against to be offset against Corporation Tax. The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Saloon comes with the existing suite of BMW EfficientDynamics technologies, including Auto Start-Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration and Electric Power Steering for optimum performance. However it also achieves its class-leading emissions with the addition of innovative engine construction, a longer transmission ratio, lowered suspension and the use of specially designed aerodynamic alloy wheels with Michelin EnergySaver tyres.
