Nissan GT-R NISMO - too fat samurai?

Time for Japanese samurai - successor already famous Nissan Skyline GT-R! Anyone who watched the movie too fast too furious associate Brian and his silver Skyline. Nissan has decided to leave the name of the skyline and remained at the GT-R. Contemporary GT-R has been already SpecV version, Egoist, Black Edition and already announced Version NISMO - factory tuner of Nissan cars.

Anticipating the facts, he reworked the most powerful standard model of the GT-R is available in Gran Turismo 6 and improved to have parameters as announced Version NISMO is known that it will have the power of 600 hp and has been slimmed down by 65 pounds. GT-R NISMO already famous for that have achieved an amazing time at the Nurburgring equal to 7 minutes and 8 seconds which shows how fast the car is.

Therefore, my NISMO GT to TestGear also took to the Green Hell and checked how long reaches. Of course, we know that the world of GT and however differs from the real but I was surprised when after driving osiągłem lap time of 7; 05.489. Frankly that could use some to be even better this time about 2 seconds. Reached the time surprised me as it is close to what has been achieved in reality, but here share my theory that the Nissan GT-R is probably the best and most refined car in the game with respect to the true model. So much time on the Green Hell, some of the same drive and the car. This car can be called jeżdzącym engineer because it is packed with electronics and curiosity here that the software that displays a lot of information on a computer screen was created by Polyphony Digital frme or creators GranTurismo.

My driving experience is quite difficult to define. It is fast even devilishly fast but on the other hand, does not change the fact that it weighs quite a bit and especially to feel the weight of the tight turns on the video can be seen at such sequences body is to chew on one side to the other and how to dive after a lap on the Nurburgring front splitter he was already come off somewhere in the first 4 kilometers of the route as not before. Maybe other suspension settings to help overcome the feeling of the masses. no doubt this is a problem GT-R '. This does not detract from the fact that the acceleration is staggering. I liked how hard faze him, and how he kept cornering lines. Returning once again to the suspension and weight, graters can be deadly for the car - I refer to the video and shots of the "crash"

dump were straight like hollywood films: D GT-R was funny too on OS rally Toscani, jumping, drifty it as to one of the Japanese threw a perfect suit and he has run naked through the center of Tokyo. On asphalt pretty hard to throw the GT-R 'side but all-wheel drive ever seen very well.

Time for a verdict: the GT-R is a car for land-based, who like to play on the PS3, have iPods and modern netbooks. Thanks intruded into the body of space technology can sometimes taste
high performance . feel like heroes steering wheel, which in fact are not. It is fast but too heavy to torture him on the track but I admit that I liked it especially the version without the suit. but personally if I could afford this car is I bought it for myself! I like his style on the other hand, I am also a little such as the above mentioned type who enjoys new technologies and honestly? I have not ridden every day on the track and tortured him, he can show me that I am a samurai but in the way where it will hide that is a little too heavy.:)

Audi Quattro - short history

QUATTRO - a solution that worked on the rally routes, today ensure safety and emotions at all times.

Audi decided to take up the challenge, by which marked the beginning of a new era in the history of the development of the automotive industry. Permanent all-wheel drive developed by Audi is takcsilnie associated with a brand that would be synonymous with it. This ensures excellent driveability, performance and safety - qualities which made the cars from the sign of the four rings have gained immense trust drivers, the best proof is to produce in 2013 a white Audi Allroad 3.0 TDI - five millionth model equipped with quattro drive.

From innovation to the sport, the sport on public roads - the standard scheme of development, high performance cars are an ideal testing ground. In the case of Audi and quattro drive it looked like, although the beginnings were unusual. History of quattro drive (from the Italian "four") dates back to 1967, when the military created the Volkswagen Iltis. 10 years later, an off-road vehicle drive system to the test used in the Audi 80 A significant improvement in traction conditions convinced the Germans to build a new model that uses the quattro drive technology. By 1986, she used the center differential bevel, and then type center differential Torsen (the name comes from the words "torque sensing"), which automatically controls the distribution of torque to the wheels, as well as Haldex coupling (such as the Audi A3 and TT) and center differential with planetary gearbox (Audi V8 with automatic transmission).

Quattro have a lot of success on the rally routes, including the Monte Carlo Rally, Rally Sweden and Rally Portugal. 1985 is the debut of the Sport Quattro S1 with more than 600 horsepower

, coupled to a 6-speed automatic. Few drivers coping with the mastery of the beast. In season 1987 ended the game in the raid group B, but this is not the end of the career model S1. Behind the wheel of Walter Röhrl it won the "race to the clouds" - Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. It was played at the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado on a stretch of nearly 20 km (start at a height of 2,862 m, meta - 4300 m). Athletic success translated into popularizing four-wheel drive in cars civil. Audi have quattro in LeMans Prototype R18 e-tron :

Civilian Version Audi Quattro descended the assembly in the years 1980-1991 - a total of 11 452 copies created. Under the hood of their way engines with a capacity of 2.1 and 2.2 liters, including the most powerful, turbocharged inline "five" 2.2 power of 220 hp. The road version of the Sport Quattro with about 32 cm shorter wheelbase and extended wheelbase (created 224 copies for approval racing), had while 2.1-liter engine of 306 horses of power. New concept car: 

Today, every fourth car under the sign of the four rings is equipped with quattro drive.

Perfect child - McLaren MP4-12C

What do you think when you hear McLaren? I first think about which model F1 as his age was a contemporary of the Bugatti Veyron, however, in recent times could have forgotten this brand. After many years, during a lull in the production of road cars McLaren revives. The word of the same company, the information from Wikipedia: "is a British automotive manufacturer of high-performance vehicles. The company was established as McLaren Cars in 1989 as a producer of road cars based on Formula One technology. It works closely with McLaren Racing, the successful Formula One constructor, and is a spinoff of the McLaren Group. " Back in August began with a presentation of the model who is the hero of this test - McLaren MP4-12C. now already been presented also the successor model F1 - McLaren P1 which is hyper hybrid and 650S model based on 12C.

McLaren MP4-12C is a hopeless name of the laughs even the Jeremy Clarkson and I agree with him 100%. But the car is not a name but it is how you lead, cornering, accelerating and gives us comfort and can start here from what surprised me in touch with this car. The first one took him to the legendary Nurburgring - Green Hell!. As you know that the track surface is not the best and McLaren was listed in August insanely inequalities without losing adhesion and to avoid excessive body tilted. Suspension and his work is excellent, you can see it also when it is kicked in August on the curbs or in the case of corner Carusell at the Nurburgring. Engineers is proudly say that this car is perfect, as the result of the calculation, and this August agrees! The team of TopGear resent that McLaren is a car without a soul which is its competitor - the Ferrari 458 Italia, but admit that it has przwage in numbers and speed. Personally I really like this Aug. effectiveness and recognizes it as the soul of the car. It gives us a lead, shows us what is the speed. Very well holding a line set in a bend and his heart despite the support that is biturbo gives power without surprises and buy it! Look at the video at the Nurburgring on 20 km track twice at the exit of turn exaggerated the gas but it did not tragic consequences. Only what I'd authorization can attach a little too little downforce which causes the fast speed of the attack is a sudden ascent and decline, and even fly fly away (CapeRing) but this is the charm of the world GranTurismo. Of course what was to sport car  without good brakes and here are brilliant! plus spoiler that when you need to give us extra pounds downforce and braking acts as airbrake.

Summarizing this as an effective and amazing shows jump

on Capering and how bravely took the next turn.In my opinion this is the perfect car! course is added to your favorites list. what can I behold the talk... Watch it!

Ferrari 458 Italia... This is a realy Hot Car?

Italia - a beautiful country located in southern Europe is famous for its cuisine, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the production of amazing cars. Italians like nobody knows August to design and create beautiful forms. National pride is a recognizable company like no other in the world: Ferrari.
The company was founded by Enzo Ferrrari created such wonders as the F40 and F50, Dino classic that reaches the sky-high prices at auctions or ultra-fast announced LaFerrari and has a rich history in Formula 1 But today we will focus on contemporary form it is a beautiful model 458 Italia.
Some dry facts:

• Engines - Ferrari V8 4.8 L 570 hp
• Curb weight - 1380 kg
• Gearbox - Semi-automatic 7-speed sequential F1
• Acceleration to 100 km / h - 3,4 s
• Maximum speed: 325 km / h

I took 458 at Monza because I like to be able to test this otherwise beautiful car elsewhere than on this wonderful track in sunny Italy. I'll start the engine, the new V8 power gives a very linear, even harmoniously and in any gear speeds without any problem, the acceleration of flows with speed. I tested the car on the hard tires Sports and worried about the grip but was outstanding, good road feel but Tires since at the limit of grip squeal like teenagers who saw the band One Direction. Trailer does not tend to over-tilting of a suspension of a suitable hardness. Although time was palpable understeer.

Working suspension is a little too blunt. The thing that worries me is some anesthesia of the car, I know that in reality it is a great car but in the world of Gran Turismo is too smooth, too polite for a Ferrari. It allows you to play even though I lack the focus to what we announced appearance, beautiful shape and is red. Gearbox is working great and well-chosen gear in automatic mode. Although the 458 gives us a lot of room to play, in true 458 is an electronic system that I call the drifter. Can it control the differential and at the exit of the turn accordingly selects a value that you just press a gas and Italia same drift. The GT car is very easy to master drifting, I think it did move an real life perfectly, though still fortresses that GT really softened the character of this beautiful car. He drove a competitor, McLaren MP4-12C, and here I have to admit, McLaren is firmer car from Italy.
In conclusion, in the world of GT Ferrari 458 Italia gives a lot of fun for ease of handling and drift but personally I was expecting something else. He leaves me with some wanting more ...

So to sweeten yourself this test had my 458 on the track in the wet Tsukuba with standard tires, it was great fun! Check it out the video of the test at Monza and Tsukuba. 

Ferrari is coming!

Another place where you can follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gran-Turismo-Test-Gear/547356892038023?ref=hl of course invite you to like it, and this page.

The upcoming test will be another test had to do with sunny Italy and its national pride Ferrari!

I took to the track in Monza model 458 Italia in color Roso Corsa which fits perfectly into this place and beautiful sunshine in the world GranTurismo checked whether temperament and sharpness Ferrari still has the genes or perhaps disappeared in August with the departure of Enzo Ferrari ...

Of course, as would be complete without some fun in my tests? 458 Italia also showed Tsukuba track on a completely wet with sports tires that were standard!

Imagine this: 600 horsepower and rear drive!
