Formula One: Pirelli Plans To Change Formula One Tires are Canned!!

Pirelli has admitted defeat in its attempts to change to Kevlar-belted rear tires from the British GP -- and admits that the decision due to ongoing opposition from some teams. Pirelli had been suggesting that its planned change would definitely go ahead, but it was always relying on receiving full support from the teams.

 The intention was to use the switch to last year’s construction in an attempt to address the delamination issue, but instead Pirelli has changed its production process. The revised tires were tested on Friday in Canada, although wet conditions for much of the day limited mileage. They were also tested by Mercedes at its infamous Barcelona session.

“The tire construction will remain unchanged, contrary to Pirelli’s initial plans,” the tire company said in a statement. “This decision is due to the fact that the new tires, which were brought to the Friday free practice sessions in Canada, could not be tested sufficiently due to rain -- and that the teams failed to agree unanimously about introducing the changes.  

Meanwhile tire choices for upcoming races are hard/medium for Silver-stone, medium/soft for Nürburgring and hard/medium for Hungary.

Chrysler Recalls Jeeps For High-Fire Risk

Chrysler has decided to recall 2.7 million 1993 to 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002 to 2007 Liberty models for a potential risk relating to the fuel tank placement between the rear bumper and rear axle. Chrysler rejected the request in a media statement, stating the NHTSA's initial conclusions are based on “incomplete analysis of the underlying data.” Chrysler said the impacted models met or exceeded all applicable requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including the ones pertaining to fuel system integrity.

 Chrysler said today that they will inspect vehicles involved in the recall and, if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle to better manage crash forces in low-speed impacts. "Chrysler Group's analysis of the data confirms that these vehicles are not defective and are among the safest in the peer group," Chrysler said in the statement. "Nonetheless, Chrysler Group recognizes that this matter has raised concerns for its customer and wants to take further steps, in coordination with NHTSA, to provide additional measures to supplement the safety of its vehicles."

 NHTSA didn't tell owners to stop driving their cars, something it has done in the past. “They can make their own risk assessment and their own choices".

2013 Audi S7 Review

 

 It has a beautifully done interior and with the 3.0-liter supercharged V6, it’s a fairly entertaining car to drive. n the S7 we have more power with the turbo V8, sharpened handling, sportier styling touches and an interior that has some of the most supportive and comfortable in the business.
Compared to the A7, the S7 packs 110 more horsepower (310 versus 420) and 81-lb-ft more torque (325 versus 406). Audi says the S7 gets to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, while the A7 needs 5.4 seconds.
In place of the eight-speed torque-converted automatic in the A7 there’s a seven-speed dual-clutch sequential manual in the S7, which happens to be my only big sticking point to the car. I’ll get into that more later on. On the outside, the S7 gets specific fascias, silver mirror caps, side sills and exhaust outlets.

 The cost to upgrade from an A7 Prestige to an S7 (which is only available in Prestige trim) is $12,650, which isn’t too crazy if you consider how quick a sticker price can jump on European cars if you go a little bonkers with options. Is it worth it? I think it is, but the darn dual-clutch transmission is putting a damper on the party.  The engine is a good piece with the 406-lb-ft of delicious torque available at just 1,400 rpm, which is kind of soiled by the slow throttle tip-in response. Throughout the rev range power is strong, which is nice. Slowing matters is also easy with good brakes that easily scrub speed off with a firm pedal feel.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Review

  

Want a Fast Mercedes-Benz that this the price of Ford Mustang 5.0??
You may Lost HP but gain a family car with Medium amount of HP.

 the least flattering sense, you might call it the cheap Mercedes-Benz AMG. It's the first AMG product created on a front-drive platform and the first with a four-cylinder engine. Mercedes calls the CLA 45's 2.0-liter, direct-injection turbo the most powerful four-cylinder ever manufactured in serial production.

 The engine block is the same one used in the standard CLA250. Including AMG's Nanoslide plasma spray cylinder bores. The cylinder head starts with an entirely different casting, using more expansive coolant passages. Piezo injectors are crucial to the CLA 45's output. A twin-scroll turbocharger with a whopping 26 pounds of boost and an expansive air-to-liquid charge cooler, then spills out through 3-inch downpipes on the headers.

 The net effect in the CLA 45 is 355 hp at 6000 rpm and 332 lb-feet of torque, starting at 2250 rpm and holding steady through 5,000. That divides to 178 hp and 166 lb-ft per liter of displacement. And still the CLA 45 engine meets the forthcoming Euro 6 emissions standard three years before mandate. It also delivers 34 mpg in the European fuel-economy cycle, though EPA ratings are pending.

 The seven-speed Speed-shift trans-axle is similar in design and concept to the dual-clutch automatics in other AMG products, packaged in a case for transverse application. Gear ratios are higher across the board than those in the CLA250, with three overdrive gears on top, and the CLA 45's final drive ratio is nearly 50 percent lower. The CLA the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is fairly simple, but effective. A power-takeoff on the trans-axle constantly turns a drive shaft to the rear axle.

 Default torque delivery is 100 percent front. Depending on several variables, including vehicle speed; lateral and longitudinal acceleration; steering angle; friction differences between wheels and accelerator position, the rear differential will engage and power up the rear wheels -- typically dividing torque 50-50, but, for brief bursts on extreme low-friction surfaces, it can send all engine power to the rear.

 It's more than a foot longer than an Audi A3, 10 inches longer than a BMW 135is, and close in overall exterior dimensions to an Acura ILX. Yet it's lighter than the C250 and some of its smaller competitors, including the 135.
