Sadis, Ferrari California Dirusak Hingga Hancur

TUNISIA - Beberapa waktu lalu, masyarakat dikejutkan dengan sebuah gambar Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano yang berkelir kuning yang tergantung di garpu depan sebuah forklift, karena dijarah para pendemo.

Saat itu, para pendemo yang kesal dengan presiden Tunisia Zine El Abidine Ben Ali yang dikenal korup dan diktator beramai-ramai menjarah seisi rumah sang presiden termasuk sebuah Ferrari tersebut.

Bila Ferrari tersebut ‘agak’ bernasib baik, namun tidak dengan Ferrari California Convertible yang dikatakan sebagai milik salah seorang anggota keluarga Presiden bernama Sofiane Ben Ali.

Mungkin karena sulit untuk dijarah kaena tempat parkirnya yang sempit, akhirnya Ferrari berkelir merah tersebut pasrah untuk menjadi bulan-bulanan emosi pendemo.

Seperti dilansir Carscoop Selasa (25/01/2011) para pendemo tega memecahkan kaca depan, mengambil pelek, hingga logo kuda jingkrak yang melekat di kap mesin Ferrari tersebut.

Bahkan lapisan kulit mobil berharga miliaran rupiah tersebut, dibagian interiornya turut di rusak, dengan cara di sobek.

Kini, mobil mewah dengan berbagai fasilitas serta keunggulan dengan teknologi tinggi, dan menggunakan mesin 8 silinder yang menghasilkan tenaga sebesar 460 hp pada 7.750 rpm itu hanya tampak sebagai rongsokan.

Padahal, bila tidak dirusak, mobil dengan transmisi 7 keceptan tersebut mampu berakselerasi dari 0-100 km/jam hanya dalam waktu kurang dari 4 detik saja.

Bila mengutip judul lagu Afgan Syahreza, mungkin satu kata yang pantas untuk para pendemo “Sadis”!

Perempuan China Buru Mobil Mewah

cHINA- Semakin meningkatnya jumlah konglomerat di China membuat para wanita kaya di Negeri Tirai Bambu tersebut berlomba-loma untuk membeli mobil mewah.

Tahun 2010 kemarin pejualan mobil mewah di China meningkat mencapai 60 persen. Pencapai tersebut dihararapkan akan lebih meningkat pada 2011, sebagaimana dikutip Okezone dari Autoblog, Senin (24/1/2011).

Maserati merupakan salah satu produsen mobil Italia yang 30 persen penjualannya di China banyak di beli para wanita China kaya, dibandingkan dengan penjualan Eropa yang hanya hanya mencapai 10 persen.

Menurut produsen Maserati di Italia saat ini Cina merupakan pangsa pasar terbaik ke dua untuk produk-produknya.Tidak hanya Maserati, Ferrari dan Lamborghini pun saat ini menjadi mobil buruan yang digemari bagi para pembeli di China.

Para perempuan kaya di Cina 20 persen telah membeli produk Ferrari, yang nilainya merupakan dua kali lipat rata-rata pembelian global.

Kenaikan penjualan kendaraan mewah di China mendapatkan perhatian dari produk mobil lainnya seperti Bugatti dan Volkswagen.

Saat ini baik Bugatti maupun Volkswagen sedang berencana untuk meningkatkan penjualan produk mewahnya di China.

Ferrari FF... wow!

In a word... WOW. The Ferrari FF.

Ferrari FXX Evolution

Klik thumbnail untuk download foto mobil ukuran 1600 x 1200

Mobil Ferrari FXX Evolution. Seperti tersirat dari namanya, FXX Evoluzione merupakan evolusi lanjutan dari progarm FXX yang diluncurkan Juni 2005. Dalam program ini Ferrari memperlakukan peserta progam -miliarder pecinta Ferrari- sebagai "clients test driver".

Bedanya dengan in-house test driver, mereka membeli sendiri mobilnya dengan harga yang sangat mahal, termasuk paket pengujian di sejumlah trek balap. Mereka akan menguji sejumlah peralatan baru yang dikeluarkan. Pengalaman yang sangat eksklusif, termasuk bekerjasama dengan legenda F1, Schumacher yang beberapakali terlibat dalam progarm FXX 2006-2007.

FXX Evoluzione digelar setelah program 2 tahun FXX sebelumnya tuntas. Program baru ini akan berlangsung dua tahun dan menggunakan mobil balap (track-only) yang lebih radikal. Berbekal informasi telemetri sejauh 35,000km yang dikumpulkan dari 20 mobil yang digunakan FXX sebelumnya, para insinyur Ferrari berhasil mempertajam kapabilitas mobil.

Menurut rilis Ferrari, daya maksimal kini 860hp (V12, 6262cc), redline didorong hingga plafon 9,500rpm dan shifttime (waktu perpindahan gigi) dipangkas hingga 60 milisekon. Traksi kontrol dimodifikasi untuk tidak terlalu sering mengintervensi, lebih mudah beradaptasi dan bisa di atur dari dalam kokpit pada saat mobil melaju dengan pilihan sembilan setting berbeda (termasuk off). Ini memberi kebebasan seperti layaknya pengemudi mobil F1 untuk memaksimalkan peforma dan mengurangi keausan ban. Geometry suspensi dimodifikasi, juga paket aerodinamis membuatnya mobil ini tampil sedikit berbeda dengan sebelumnya.

Hasil dari aneka perubahan itu FXX Evoluzione bisa melintasi satu putaran/lap di Fiorano, sirkuti milik Ferrari dalam waktu 1menit 16detik atau dua detik lebih cepat dari pendahulunya. Kit ini bisa dipasang di 20 unit FXX yang ada sekarang termasuk program baru yang membawa mobil ini ke enam sirkuit (dua di Amerika Utara, dua di Eropa dan dua di Asia) setiap tahun dalam dua tahun kedepan.

Dua tahun lalu Ferrari meluncurkan FXX yang bisa dibilang high end version dari Enzo, mobil termahal Ferrari saat ini. Lebih canggih dan merupakan perwujudan dari puncak keahlian Ferrari menciptakan sport car dikombinasikan dengan pengalamannya di ajang balap. Peformanya luarbiasa. Mesin 6262cc V12 memproduksi lebih dari 800hp pada 8500rpm. Gearbox-nya dihasilkan dari teknologi F1 dan bisa memindah gigi kurang dari 100 milisekon, hampir secepat mobil F1.

FXX punya rasio power-to-weight 3.18 pounds per horsepower. Disain aerodinamisnya menambah downforce hingga 40% dibandingkan Enzo yang sudah sangat mengagumkan itu.

Seperti program FXX sebelumnya, mobil-mobil dalam FXX Evoluzione ini didukung tim resmi terdiri dari 15 orang. Tim ini terdiri dari sejumlah insinyur, pakar elektronik dan mekanik yang memberikan dukungan penuh kepada klien. Termasuk mengorganisir private individual track session

new motrsports | car modification design | 2011 Ferrari SA Aperta

Ferrari exhibited during the 2010 Paris International Motor Show their limited SA Aperta (only 80 have been produced). This is in line with the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Pininfarina. SA Aperta enjoys Ferrari’s signature V12 front engine. The aerodynamics of Asperta is outstanding because of the well positioned windscreen. The fact that Aperta stoops lower to the ground adds to its compactness. Aperta has a revamped chassis to assure a standard firmness similar to a Berlinetta. The weight of the chassis has also been reduced to deliver a high, dynamic performance.
The outline of the seats is cunningly emulated by the Aperta’s profile that curves back from the A-post up to the two aerodynamic fins. Ferrari has one of the most innovative technologies when it comes to exceptional driving experience. This has been integrated in the Aperta when it marvelously exemplifies the sporty impression of the Ferrari 599 via the 670 CV engine underneath its bonnet.

New ferrari 458 challenge front angle view

The 458 Challenge boasts a host of upgrades over its road-legal sibling to make it race worthy when it hits the grid in Ferrari’s one-make race series from 2011. The Ferrari 458 Challenge will make world premiere at the 35th edition of the Bologna Motor Show in Italy, which runs for the public from December 4 to 12.

Ferrari is also displaying a variety of other racing models from the past and present at its Bologna Motor Show stand, including a 430 GTC owned by the AF Corse team Ferrari and an F1 model.

Ferrari’s engineers have made modifications to the gear ratios and calibration of its dual-clutch F1 gearbox to further improve torque at lower revs. While the Challenge keeps the 458 Italia’s direct injection 4.5-liter V8 with an output of 570 hp at 9,000 rpm intact.

The Ferrari 458 Challenge is equipped with the E-Diff electronic differential already employed on the road-going version, a first for Ferrari’s track-only cars. Another first for a Ferrari Challenge model is the adoption of the firm’s F1-Trac traction control system. The race-spec model also gets a specific suspension set-up with steel uniball joints, stiffer springs, single-rate alloy dampers and a ride height lowered by 50mm all round.

Stopping power is provided by the new generation Brembo CCM2 brakes integrated with the latest ABS system which debuted on the 599XX, Ferrari’s experimental laboratory car, while it rides on centre-nut 19-inch forged rims wrapped in larger dimension Pirelli slicks.

Result of combined is the improvement of the car’s lap time at Fiorano by two seconds over that of its predecessor, resulting in a new record of just 1’16.5”. According to the Italian company, the amount of lateral grip the new car generates is 1.6G. Read also about this car’s detail at previous post..

Manufacturer Press Release

Ferrari has developed a truly innovative technical collaboration programme around the FXX prototype aimed at its most dedicated and passionate Clients.

The FXX is the most advanced GT ever created at Maranello and its mission is to involve Ferrari¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s most valued Clients as genuine Prancing Horse Test Drivers in their own right. The wealth of data and experience gathered in the course of this very special programme will be exceptionally important.

In fact, the feedback from these highly skilled, non-professional Client Test Drivers will be compared and supplemented with suggestions from Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello and Ferrari¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s professional in-house Test Drivers.

Every Client who signs up for the FXX project by purchasing one of the estimated 20 or so cars being built, will actually be joining Team Ferrari, and will have his driving experiences at the wheel of this new car monitored directly by the Prancing Horse¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s technicians and specialists.

The FXX is the fruit of Ferrari¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s know-how in building special limited-series sports cars combined with, of course, its racing experience. It will provide the basic framework on which the specifics of future extreme models will be worked out. The exceptionally powerful FXX delivers absolutely blistering performance on all fronts.

The FXX has not been homologated for road use and thus will not be a competition model. It will be used exclusively on the track as part of a specific ongoing research and development programme featuring this first ever group of Client Test Drivers.

The FXX is powered by an imposing 6,262 cc V12 engine that can punch out over 800 hp at 8,500 rpm. Its gearbox is the result of the transfer of F1 strategies, delivering gear change times of under 100 ms. This is almost as fast as the F1 single-seaters, themselves the absolute pinnacle of current technological achievement.

The FXX¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s aerodynamic design is particularly innovative too as it has resulted in a shape that produces 40% higher downforce than ever achieved before. It is also possible to adjust the FXX¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s mobile spoiler configuration to suit the specific circuit.

Ferrari¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s partnership with Bridgestone has resulted in the development of a specific 19¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×u slick tyre for this particular model. Likewise Brembo has created a special brake cooling and pad system for the FXX¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s extra large Composite Ceramic Material disc brakes.

The Client Test Drivers will also be able to share their unique track experience with a passenger ? in fact a second seat is available.

What really sets the FXX apart, however, is the sophisticated telemetry system which will monitor and give feedback on 39 different vehicle dynamics parameters in real time. The system is also able to record other data as demanded by specific circumstances.

The information gathered will then be analysed by the Ferrari technicians working on the programme and discussed with the individual Client Drivers to ensure that the car is kept constantly updated.

The FXX package also includes participation in a series of track events to be organised by Ferrari on various international-level circuits over the coming two years. On these occasions, an official team of technicians will be on hand to provide any assistance and support required by the Client Test Driver.

In addition to these truly unique official events, Clients will also be able to take their cars out on the track independently during private sessions. Clients wishing to leave their car at Maranello will be glad to know that the vehicles will be transported directly by Ferrari to the various European circuits for the scheduled events.

Given the car¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s exceptional performance and the unique nature of the package, delivery of each FXX will also include an ad hoc driving course. The instructors will, of course, be professional drivers and the courses will take place at the Fiorano Circuit where Ferrari does its most important F1 single-seaters testing.

After the seat and the pedals have been individually tailored to each driver, there will be a traditional ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çshakedown¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×u followed by a training session dedicated to test driving methodologies.

After a careful client order selection process, the first FXXs will be delivered by the end of this year. The initial testing of the definitive car is currently taking place at Fiorano. The FXX and the relative package cost a total of 1.5 million euro (excluding taxes) and applications to join the programme are being evaluated by a special in-house committee.
