Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Race Car 2011
Cadillac announced it will return to racing in 2011 with a race-prepared version of its CTS-V Coupe competing in the Sports Car Club of America World Challenge, North America’s top
production-based racecar series.
The move returns Cadillac to a series where it competed from 2004 to 2007. Competing in the GT Class with the CTS-V Sport Sedan, Cadillac captured the Manufacturer’s Championship in 2005 and 2007 and the Driver’s Championship in 2005.
Cadillac will field two teams in the upcoming SCCA World Challenge GT Class with a racecar based on the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe. The CTS-V line, which also includes the CTS-V Sedan and CTS-V Wagon, was recently named to Car and Driver magazine’s 10 Best list for 2011.
“Returning to racing in the SCCA World Challenge is a great way to demonstrate the performance and capability of the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe,” said Don Butler, vice president for Cadillac marketing. “The racecars in this series are production based, which allows us to validate our performance against the best of our competitors on the track, and not just the showroom.” Read the rest of this entry »
Renault Megane, Elegance Car Product
The images preview below is a performance and detail of Renault Magane which was presented at 2008 Paris Motor Show. This car variant has been sold on the market from November 2008. In the 2010 Renault Magane was produced in six different versions which were manufactured in Doui, France and Valenica, Spain. The text below is official information from the manufacturer:
Design
The new Mégane is a family hatchback of 4.30m in length with a dynamic stance, thanks
particularly to its short front and rear overhang, a 2.64m wheelbase, steeply-raked oofline and wide tracks.
The generous surface area and curvaceous forms of the body panels express sense of robustness and perceived quality. Seen from the side, the feature line extends the crease of the slightly prominent front wings rearward to emphasize the car’s broad, solid shoulders.
At the rear the two-part light clusters continue the feature line and facilitate access to the boot. The wide track dimensions (1.55m) ensure that the car sits squarely on the road, and this sense of stability is underlined by the steeply-raked rear screen and, indeed, by the entire rearend design.
New Renault Mégane’s proportions, the form of the beltline and the large door panels exude a feeling of protection. This blend of fluid lines coupled with the generous proportions of the bodywork also maximizes the visual effect produced by the light reflecting off the body, while the range of metallic paint finishes includes the all-new Ecume Blue.
Particular attention has been paid to reducing the cut lines between the different body panels (e.g. windscreen pillars, fuel filler flap) and the front and rear bumpers discreetly incorporate the parking proximity sensors. The roofline also benefits from specific treatment thanks to the use of laser brazing which eliminates the need for roof trimming. Read the rest of this entry »
