2011 Aston Martin V12 Zagato review

2011 Aston Martin V12 Zagato review

          Aston Martin introduces a modern interpretation of the famous Aston Martin and Zagato collaboration. New V12 Zagato concept to be premiered at the Villa D’Este Concours on 21st May to gauge customer interest. The V12 Zagato will appear in the form of an endurance race car to compete at the Nürburgring 24 hour race on 25/26 June.

        The V12 Zagato delivers a beautiful and muscular design not possible using pre-formed panel techniques. Using the influences and skill of nearly 100 years of heritage in the craft, every aluminium panel was formed using an English wheel and traditionally crafted body bucks. Each front wing alone comprises seven separate pieces of aluminium, combined and then hand finished to give one flowing form. Another iconic Zagato design cue is the double bubble roof created in this case from five separate pieces illustrating further the intensity of craftsmanship involved in the construction of the V12 Zagato.

            Designed for the focused driver, the V12 Zagato has been honed with pure driving enjoyment in mind. The V12 Zagato combines Aston Martin’s most dynamic bonded aluminium platform with the power of the 6.0-litres V12 engine producing 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS), and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque.

2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage S review

2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage S review

        On 5, January 2011. The Aston Martin Vantage range comes of age with the new V8 Vantage S characterised by a host of new driver-focussed features all designed to push the honed dynamics of the standard Vantage to a new benchmark level.

           The interior of the Aston will remain largely the same as the other models in the line, which is really not a problem. It is one of the most exquisite handcrafted cabins in the industry with an impeccable level of fit and finish. Designed with aluminum face gauges and dash, and a host of electronic wizardry. The optional 1,000 watt Bang and Olufsen stereo system remains one of the most favorable options if listening to the harmonious engine note is not enough entertainment. 

          Aston Martin builds each of its V8 engines at their facility in Cologne, Germany. The V8 found in the new Vantage S will be tweaked to produce 430 hp at 7,300rpm and 361 lb-ft of torque at 5,000rpm. This is equal to an increase of 10 hp and 15 lb-ft of torque over the base model, which may not seem like much, but take into consideration that the Vantage S will also weigh 66 pounds less than the other models.

 The Acura ZDX luxury four-door sports coupe made its world debut at the New York International Auto Show today. The production version of the dramatically styled prototype goes on-sale in the fall of 2009. The segment bending ZDX features stunning coupe-like styling with the added benefit of a commanding presence and flexible utility.

Rusza przedsprzedaż 24-megapikselowego bezluterkowca Sony!

Aparaty NEX myślę, że znacie bardzo dobrze. Wszyscy miłośnicy też wiedzą o nadchodzącej nowej generacji tych aparatów i z pewnością wytrwale wyczekują na premierę najnowszego modelu. Ten zachwyca z pewnością możliwościami jakie daje jego przyszłym użytkownikom i z pewnością będzie ciekawym kąskiem na rynku aparatów. Premiera już niebawem, a ja w ramach serii „Ze świata Sony” prezentuję Wam kilka informacji na jego temat.

Seria NEX to kompaktowe aparaty cyfrowe z możliwością wymiany obiektywów przy okazji mocowania Sony E. Daje to naprawdę świetne osiągi i jakość zdjęć. Nowy model NEX-7 będzie wyposażony aż w 24-megapikselowy przetwornik CMOS (rozmiar APS-C 23,5 x 15,6 mm), najmniejsze na świecie opóźnienie wyzwolenia migawki (określone jako 0.02s) oraz świetny i nowoczesny wizjer OLED obsługujący rozdzielczość XGA (1024×768).

 Co więcej wyróżnia NEX-7 to wbudowana lampa błyskowa, szybki autofokus no i przede wszystkim możliwość kręcenia filmów Full HD w formacie AVCHD o szybkości 50 (lub 25) klatek na sekundę oraz nagrywanie dźwięku stereo. Bezproblemowo zrobimy także zdjęcia seryjne, które często używa się podczas zdjęć w ruchu – aparat potrafi zrobić do 10 klatek na sekundę.

Co więcej 3-calowy wyświetlacz LCD z rozdzielczością 921 tysięcy punktów i opcjami regulacji w pionie o 45 stopni w dół i 90 stopni w dół. Obraz przekażemy do telewizora za pomocą złącza mini-HDMI.

Niebawem oczywiście to określenie dość pobłażliwe, bo premiera odbędzie się 3. kwietnia tego roku, jednak już powoli można zamawiać aparat u Polskich sprzedawców. Cena? Bez wątpienia troszkę przyjdzie nam zapłacić za najnowocześniejsze technologie – 4750 zł.
