It takes one push of a button to raise or lower the roof of
the Volante. Hood up or down, the lines of a DB9 Volante remain
breathtakingly beautiful. The Aston Martin DB9 was conceived and
designed, from the outset, as both a Coupe and a convertible
(Volante). This uncompromising approach is typical of the whole DB9
engineering philosophy. That is why DB9 Volante is one of the most
structurally rigid and best handling convertibles in the world. It
is also one of the fastest and quietest. It looks elegant and
perfectly proportioned from every angle - with roof up or down. As
with all Aston Martins, beauty and proportion is of key
importance.

Review:
92 years ago something very special happened to the motorcar
industry, Aston Martin was born and the automotive trade has only
ever benefited from the presence of this marque. Without doubt one
of the world’s most prestigious and sought after marques, Aston is
firmly established as one of the premier Supercar manufacturers in
the world, let alone Britain. The company benchmark has always been
to produce “a quality car of good performance and appearance: a car
for the discerning owner driver with fast touring in mind,
designed, developed, engineered and built as an individual”. It is
a stamp of quality they have proudly met at every turn. Their
racing heritage is one that most manufactures covet with notable
successes at Le Mans and the World Sports Car Championships. From
1947 the DB era saw Aston’s popularity and production soar,
especially after the DB5 starred alongside Sean Connery in
Goldfinger. A record 700 new cars were produced and delivered in
1995 and the company has gone from strength. Aston will always be
the epitome of British cool and manufacturing prowess.
The DB9 is set to eclipse the DB7 as Aston’s most successful car
ever, the Volante is every bit as performance driven but may look
even cooler. The car is admittedly a little lighter and less rigid
than the hard top DB9 but this doesn’t seem to devalue the drive.
Unlike the DB9 it doesn’t want to fishtail out of every corner and
will reward the driver for pushing its limits with responsiveness
and a true line. With the top down the speed of the car is even
more evident and the acceleration will definitely give you an
interesting hair style, but these are both positives in anyone’s
book. Dr. Bez can be hugely proud of the Volante, a car that
manages to pull its top down without loosing anything of its
British distinction and class.
The DB9 looses nothing of its charm, sophistication and ogle
value by being a soft top, if anything all these elements are
drastically increased. Imagine cruising through the countryside in
a soft-top Aston of this beauty… even the sheep will stare! I
defy anyone to pull up at traffic lights in this car and not be the
centre of attention, until you pull away from them all that is! The
Volante is undeniably cool and is the perfect soft top for any
discerning Supercar driver. The car shares the same long, low lines
and a muscular frame as the coupe and is undoubtedly worthy to hold
the same badge. If Bond was looking for a soft-top this would have
to be it! The Volante is an awesome machine with beautiful good
looks.

A year after the unveiling of the GranTurismo, Maserati will be
back at the Geneva International Motorshow with yet another world
premiere, the Maserati GranTurismo S. The ultimate expression of
the Trident coupé's sportiness shifts the emphasis onto performance
and driving enjoyment.
Two main novelties are at the heart of the new Maserati: the 450
hp V8 4.7 engine and the electro-actuated gearbox with fast
MC-Shift arranged in the transaxle layout typical of
high-performance sports cars that represents the technological DNA
of all Maseratis.
The Maserati GranTurismo S makes use of the high-performance
brake system developed in collaboration with Brembo and introduced
for the first time in the automotive field on the Maserati
Quattroporte Sport GT S. The system features front brake discs made
with dual-cast technology - a dual casting of cast iron and
aluminium, paired with aluminium mono-bloc 6-piston brake
callipers, ensuring optimised braking performance.
On the exterior the Maserati GranTurismo S is characterised by a
number of aesthetic modifications that, although discrete, are
highly effective and make the car body appear sportier without
abandoning the sleekness of the lines masterfully designed by
Pininfarina.
The interior upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather and Alcantara
reflects the sporty flair of the Maserati GranTurismo S; the
figure-hugging front and rear seats are distinguished by their new
dynamic design with horizontal piping on the seats and
seatbacks.

Lamborghini LP560-4
Review:
With the new Gallardo LP560-4, Lamborghini once again sets a
higher standard for super sports cars. With its new engine,
permanent four-wheel drive transmission and new suspension, it
delivers clearly improved performance and dynamics. In parallel,
its innovative design takes the classic lines unique to the
Lamborghini brand one step further. Powerful elegance has never
been so defined before.
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is the successor of the most
successful Lamborghini model of all time. Approximately 7100
Gallardo models have left the Sant'Agata Bolognese production plant
since its launch in 2003. "The LP560-4 will consolidate this
success story," states Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of
Automobili Lamborghini. "It will outclass its predecessor in every
aspect; its dynamics are distinctly breathtaking and its design
sets new standards. With the introduction of the Lamborghini
Gallardo LP560-4, we will consistently continue Lamborghini's
growth strategy".
The powerful heart of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is the
new 5.2 litre V10 engine with an output of 560 PS (412 kW) at 8000
rpm. The increase of 40 PS compared with that of the previous
Gallardo, and the approximate 20 kilogram reduction in weight,
improves the power weight ratio to 2.5 kilograms per PS (hp) and
thus enhances performance. The LP560-4 accelerates from 0-100 km/h
in 3.7 seconds, its speed at 11.8 seconds is 200 km/h and its top
speed lies at 325 km/h. At the same time the new, highly efficient
engine enthrals its driver with its direct fuel injection system -
"Iniezione Diretta Stratificata". Despite its clearly increased
power, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been reduced by a
staggering 18 per cent.
The engineers in the Sant'Agata-based Technical
Department have also improved traction, handling and stability at
high speeds. The redesigned four-wheel drive transmission, the new
suspension and the optimised aerodynamics as well as the reduced
weight and decreased friction between the components, all
contribute to the overall improvements in the vehicle. Thus the
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 presents itself as a cutting edge
super sports car also suitable for the race-track. The car is also
surprisingly suited to long-distance driving and despite its
extreme performance capabilities is easy to control whilst
maintaining utmost stability.

Arguably the most desirable marque in the world, Ferrari, as we
know it today, was born in 1946. The company quickly established
itself as a benchmark for others in the world of motor racing.
Their first car, the 125 Sport, started a tradition of success that
has seen Ferrari rise to the top of the motor sport world with over
5,000 successes on racetracks around the globe and the most
recognisable emblem in the world.
Ferrari has produced some of the most stunningly exotic and
sexy cars we have ever dreamt about! 2000 saw the modern era of
Ferrari’s F1 winning streak begin in earnest; Ferrari and the world
of F1 are now synonymous and it stands to reason that their success
on the track will filter down to success on the road. The F430 has
Schumacher’s endorsement and rightly so, it is the stuff of
dreams.
The car certainly lives up to its Formula One relatives, not
only can it reach an almighty 196mph and bring 60mph up in just 4
seconds, this beauty will hug the road in even the trickiest of
circumstances. The ‘Manettino’ dial on the steering wheel delivers
performance and piece of mind at your fingertips. Designed to aid
your driving experience the ‘Manettino’ adjusts the traction and
suspension according to the driving conditions. Electronically
controlled differentials ensure the F430 perfectly distributes the
torque between the rear wheels, making your drive effortlessly fast
and enjoyably sporty. The F430 is a stunningly beautiful car that
matches its looks with its performance.
If Ferrari is the most desirable marque around then it is only
because the Pininfarina gurus put them in a position to be seen
that way. The design company are responsible for a great number of
the world’s most prestigious cars. Drawing influences from
Ferrari’s F1 team and going back through its long heritage the F430
contains over 70% new design while maintaining the touch of
prestige that makes it quintessentially a Ferrari. The gaping air
intakes at the front of the car recall the stunning 1961 F1
‘sharknose’ Ferrari snout giving the F430 its distinctive image. A
mix of technological innovation and luxurious trimmings define the
interior, while new seats and thinner transmission makes the cabin
roomier than the 360 Modena. The F430 represents an amalgamation of
classic Ferrari design with cutting edge technological development

successful model ever to have competed on the legendary circuit at
Le Mans. In a total of 79 starts at venues all over the world, this
exceptional athlete has emerged victorious on a total of 62
occasions.
With power and elegance
The wide, full shape of the R8 seems to hug the road. It
demonstrates its potential through its imposing proportions,
accentuated wheel arches and substantial air apertures. It is like
no other Audi before it - with the unmistakable proportions of a
mid-engine car. These proportions are dictated by the forward
position of the cabin and the clearly separate engine compartment
behind it. A characteristic feature of the side view of the R8 is
the "sideblade", which visually accentuates the engine's position
as well as acting as an air deflector.
And yet the R8 is undeniably first and foremost an Audi, not
just because of the characteristic single-frame grille at its front
end. For the first time, the four rings are positioned not over the
grille, but on the lid above it. The sparing but always very
precise use of lines is another typical Audi characteristic, as is
the curved arc of the roof. And the continuous line running from
the front apron across the wheel arches and flanks to the tail end,
then back down the other side, is significant for the brand. This
"loop" naturally encompasses the air apertures, the headlights and
the rear lights.
Unmistakable face by day and night
The passion expressed through the elaborate design of the
lights is another typical Audi trait. The R8 already acquires an
unmistakable frontal aspect through the standard bi-xenon
headlights and daytime running lights comprising twelve
light-emitting diodes - day and night alike. Nor is anyone likely
to overlook this Audi sports car from behind: for the very first
time, LED tail lights with a three-dimensional effect have
successfully been used.
But the absolute highlight will be the all-LED headlights,
available for the Audi R8 as an option from the end of 2007, and
making their first ever appearance worldwide on a production car.
With their lenses and reflectors, these innovative light sources
not only look progressive; they also have an enormous functional
advantage: with its colour temperature of 6,000 Kelvin, LED light
resembles daylight much more closely than xenon or even halogen
light. Drivers will consequently suffer much less fatigue when
driving at night.
The interior offers a luxurious standard of motor racing
atmosphere. Its design is as sporty and exclusively as the
exterior: the characteristic element here is the monoposto - an
expansive arc running around the steering wheel and instruments,
connecting the driver to the car. The interior consequently picks
up on the dynamism of the R8 and gives it tactile expression in a
form that is accessible the moment you climb in.
Exceptionally spacious
For a sports car, the exceptional everyday suitability of the
R8 is highlighted by the large amount of space, due in no small
measure to the generous wheelbase of 2.65 metres. Whatever the
build of the driver and passenger, they will always be able to find
their perfect seated position. The view is also very good for a
mid-engine vehicle. Narrow A-posts optimise the field of view to
the front and sides.
The luggage compartment is an important aspect of everyday
suitability: 100 litres fit beneath the front lid, and there is
room for bags with a total volume of a further 90 litres behind the
seats. And even passionate golfers need not forgo their sport when
driving the R8: two full-size golf bags can be stowed behind the
seats.
The impression of quality in the interior is striking: even
in the basic specification, the surfaces of the driving area and
door trims are meticulously trimmed, with neatly finished
decorative seams. And the scope for customisation is as diverse as
the preferences of the R8's future owners could conceivably be:
piano finish, carbon fibre and a wide variety of leathers are just
some of the options.
Light but highly rigid body
The body of a sports car needs to be particularly light and
rigid: low weight permits superior road performance, and rigidity
is the crucial starting point for an agile driving feel allied to
high precision. The Audi Space Frame body, made from aluminium,
provides the ideal basis for this. Audi has more expertise than any
other manufacturer worldwide in the designing and production of
cars based on aluminium technology, and has channelled its
accumulated know-how into the R8.
The entire bodyshell of the R8 weighs just 210 kilograms, the
pinnacle of achievement among sports cars in terms of lightweight
design quality. It comprises extruded sections, aluminium panels
and highly complex cast nodes, joined together by 99 metres of weld
seams, 782 punch rivets and 382 self-tapping screws.
Superlative precision in the production shop
This structure is created largely by hand at the R8
production shop in Neckarsulm, but with precision measuring and
machining methods keeping a watchful eye over the whole business: a
laser measuring system checks 220 points on each body to within
one-tenth of a millimetre, and a special computer tomograph can
investigate the absolute quality of every join with micron
precision. A central processing plant cuts and drills all 52
connecting points on the running gear and steering in a single
pass. This assures maximum precision in the axle geometry.
The aerodynamics experts at Audi have done their work so
thoroughly on the R8 that, as an added benefit of its elegant
shape, the body actually produces a downforce - unlike many other
sports cars. This promotes directional stability at high speeds. It
is achieved by means of the extending rear spoiler, but above all
thanks to the fully clad diffuser underbody.
Enormous propulsive power across wide speed range
The heart of the sports car is of course the engine. As well
as being exceptionally compact, the eight-cylinder power unit of
the R8 runs lustily and effortlessly up to very high engine speeds,
peaking at 8,250 rpm. The reward is 420 bhp and an even buildup of
torque that produces enormous propulsion across a wide range of
engine speeds. The engine's dry sump lubrication, typical of a race
engine, permits a particularly low installed location and assures a
constant oil supply in even the toughest of driving conditions -
for instance on a racetrack. And the FSI direct injection underpins
the very good full-load performance with a highly efficient
combustion process.
The road performance is correspondingly impressive: the R8
dashes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, whether with manual
gearbox or with R tronic sequential gearshifting. The needle hits
200 km/h after only 14.9 seconds, and the engine's propulsion is
only finally held in check by rolling resistance and drag at 301
km/h.
However, the captivating character of the V8 stems not just
from its effortless propulsion, but equally from its ample,
versatile sound characteristics. Thanks to ingenious fine-tuning
measures, Audi's engineers isolated disagreeable frequencies and
then orchestrated an impressive opus from the intake and exhaust
sound.
Lightning start thanks to Launch Control
The R8's transmission comes with six well-spaced ratios that
can be operated either manually, in conjunction with the clutch, or
automatically via the R tronic. The R tronic is an entirely new
development that operates faster than even the most adept of
drivers and offers racing-style thrills with the shift paddles on
the steering wheel. The R tronic accomplishes lightning-fast starts
worthy of the racetrack thanks to Launch Control.
The quattro permanent four-wheel drive provides that decisive
extra dose of traction and driving safety. The system was adapted
to the mid-engine concept, with its ideal axle load distribution of
44:56 percent, and directs between 10 and 35 percent of the
engine's power to the front wheels as necessary.
Precision suspension provides safety boost
The precision suspension of the Audi R8 remains supremely in
control of the sporty performance, but is equally capable of
assuring relaxed driving pleasure over long distances. The sports
car obeys steering movements with spontaneous agility, always
demonstrating exceptionally good driving safety. The suspension,
with double wishbones at both the front and rear, is optimised for
a neutral self-steering response and maximum ease of control.
A particularly innovative damping technology is available for
the R8 as an option: Audi magnetic ride adapts the suspension
characteristic to the profile of the road and the driver's style
within milliseconds. A generously-dimensioned brake system supplies
the necessary braking force. It applies a total of 24 pistons to
the four studded brake discs. This braking performance can only be
topped by the optional ceramic discs. They are even capable of
withstanding the rigours of racing-style use.
Exclusive standard equipment
The Audi R8 combines its superior performance with both a
surprising measure of everyday suitability and an exclusive
equipment specification. It comes ready-equipped for example with a
140 watt audio system, an alarm system, deluxe automatic air
conditioning and the driver information system with integral
stopwatch for taking lap times. The sports seats are trimmed in
combined Alcantara/Leather and the 18-inch wheels are fitted on
cast alloy wheels.
The list of optional extras nevertheless includes a couple
more highlights: for example, the wide range of customisation
options, the Audi parking system advanced with integral rearview
camera, and the superb Bang & Olufsen sound system. Surround
sound from twelve high-end speakers with a 465 watt music output
delivers an exceptional music experience.
