Italians’ Italia : 458





New Red big boy is in the town, proudly flaunting the Prancing Horse insignia. Described with triple ferocious of exciting, brilliant and fast by Top Gear’s Bill Thomas, Ferrari 458 Italia is the latest supercar in Prancing Horse’s range. Media says it is the most beautiful Ferrari, to date.

Performance wise, the 458 Italia is much far better compared to the insipid California. Reaching top speed at 202 mph, hitting the century in staggering 3.4 seconds and about 7.5 seconds to 100 mph with a 562 horsepower V8 engine, it screams with the revs build up to 9,000 rpm. Could this be new icon or perhaps legend that finally make the 430 Scuderia sounds primitive? Perhaps.

On the Ferrari’s Fiorano test track, the 458 Italia is reported faster than the Enzo. Well, that’s according to Ferrari’s management. Not to forget the handling, this 562bhp 458 Italia is further boasted as the best handling mid-engine Ferrari of all time. It is equipped with E-diff electronic differential and F1-Trac traction control system that is said as the pinnacle in its class to produce power.

As for now, Ferrari can be proud with their new Red baby with 562bhp 4.5 litre V8 that revs up to the astounding figure of 9,000 rpm and sit back relaxing while waiting for the next respond from Lamborghini, perhaps. Will the next Gallardo please ‘stand up’?

Brother's Rivalry

The Audi generally is a name still not familiar with the people here, I mean Malaysia. How many out there happens to know or realise that Audi can build a really good performance car, or supercar having the capability of challenging the Lamborghini and Porsche. In fact, there are now in the same league. Yes, I am talking about the Audi R8, again. Note that I am referring to the V10 version. Now that i am still praising this car, looks like no one can deny my love and admiration of Audi R8. I admit I love this car, very much.
Since the Audi R8 had made its debut to the public, the R8 has been compared by the media and publicists with Porsche and Lamborghini, notably the 911 Carrera 2s and Gallardo LP560-4. The only difference between these three supercars is that the Gallardo isn’t a daily car. And since theexistence of R8, Porsche isn’t the default-choice for an everyday car. This comparison ignites brothers’ rivalry among them. Yes, you hear me, brothers’ rivalry and I am not getting it all wrong. While everyone out there admiring the Lambo and Porsche, with less knowing much about Audi, condemning and disputing which car is the better one, does anyone knows that all these three giant car-makers are actually ‘brothers’? (Some might flabbergasted to hear this) Both Audi and Lamborghini are subsidiaries of Europe largest carmaker Volkswagen (Some who flabbergasted might in total perplex, yes it is Volkswagen that are portrayed only producing ‘beetle cars’ by most of Malaysians ). Ironically, Volkswagen is a brother-company of Porsche.
And so the comparison between Audi R8 V10 and Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is something cliché like German-made against Italian-made. After all it isn’t that cliché, since it does not involves old foes of Ferrari vs Porsche or Lamborghini vs Porsche or the Italians against Mercedes’ supercars. With 518bhp powered 5.2 litre engine, the R8 V10 accelerates to 60mph in under 4sec, 12sec to 124mph, a breakthrough performance that place the R8 into supercar territory. As predicted by many, the R8 V10 cost as same as the Porsche 911 Turbo when it arrives in the UK this summer, with price tag of 99,575 pound sterling. Yet the R8 V10 has more intriguing comparison with the Lambo Gallardo LP560-4. Both have the most fundamental similarities; the same V10 engine and automated manual gearbox, and their aluminium body and chassis.

Engine-wise, what makes both V10 engines distinguishable? It is their engines’ intakes and exhaust system and mapping. Software calibration is the factor of difference between the Audi’s gearboxes and the Lambo’s, while the R8 V10 could have the same horsepower of 552bhp.

Will they?

Finally i get a proper sleep in a proper sleeping condition in an actual room.i was sleeping in the living room in my friend's on-campus apartment for two days before my godsend-help friend get me an on-campus apartment.Gosh...i was wondering where will i have to stay if i still cnt get a house

Its been a long time since i login my Yahoo Messenger.Very are my friends..all i can see IS strangers and they don't even bother to reply if i initiate the first message.OK...most of them,strangers i mean, are girls.But then...so what?i am not interested in building a relationship this way, not gona start a courtship...even if i asked personal questions,i am meant to be FRIENDS.i am not that desperate after all.Girls are everywhere.The conundrum is....if i upload a picture of me with a Ferrari 360 Modena and it is viewable, will they reply?or will they prompt me with a hello?And do you really think i own a Ferrari? Forgive me for being such sarcasm

Ohhh...I haven't finish with Audi R8 story anyway.The V10 version generates more horsepower than the V8, 518bhp @ 8,000 rpm compared to 414bhp @ 7,800 rpm, with kerb weight of 1620kg and 1560kg respectively. While the V8 version hit the century in 4.4 seconds, the V10 did it in 3.9 seconds.Audi R8 V10 whips up to 196.4 mph (316km/h), far better than its V8 brother's 187mph (301km/h)

Speaking of lateral acceleration,the V10 produces 1.2G, meanwhile the V8 generates 1.01G. Reviews from Top Gear placed it in a proud position with a 'sublime' in handling, outperform both Lamborghini Gallardo and Aston Martin DB9 on their test track. In comparisons, many publications hailed this supercar against the Porsche.While most of you out there are still wondering how 'handsome' this German beast is, the Playboy magazine has proved it by awarding Audi R8 Car of The Year 2008.

Do you guys watched Iron Man and Transformer 2:Revenge of The Fallen?Well, watch carefully for this German beast appearances in these blockbusters.
