Audi A4 Performance

The latest Nothelle project is the A4, which the tuning company from Ratingen (Germany) provides with a more elegant and at the same time sportier appearance. And naturally nothelle also offers various performance improvements for the A4.

- Power output increased by up to 310 bhp

- Aerodynamic packages

- Quadruple exhaust and "NOVEDRA VII SPORT" 19-inch wheels

Sophisticated nothelle aerodynamic packages with sporty looks.

Nothelle tackles the external cosmetics with the aid of a comprehensive, in-house, sophisticated aerodynamic kits, which is mounted on the standard components without any additional body modifications.

It consists of a front spoiler (from EUR 490), side skirts, a rear apron attachment and a rear spoiler (one version each for the Saloon and the Avant), as well as optional fender extensions, which can also be fitted onto the standard wings with any body modifications.

The rear of the A4 gets an even sportier upgrade when you order the nothelle diffusor. This is available either in the body colour or in sophisticated genuine carbon fibre.

The nothelle rear silencer with its quad-tailpipe looks (from EUR 620), made entirely of durable stainless steel, promises a sporty sound as well as a touch more power. Its oval, chrome-plated 4 tailpipes give the rear end of the A4 a significant boost. A pretty backside is no less enchanting, after all!

Sports suspension and matching footwear

nothelle also provides matching footwear for the A4, with the company's own NOVEDRA VII SPORT wheels in 8.5 x 19" format. The one-piece wheel is impressive for its striking and extremely exclusive design, as well as its multi-piece looks (from EUR 550). Nnothelle offers it in three versions.

The basic version is the "NOVEDRA VII SPORT", painted in Shiny Silver. The fine surface finish of the "brilliance edition" is achieved by means of an extremely elaborate ball polishing process with high-gloss intensification. Because tastes vary, nothelle also offers the "black edition" as a third version. The alloy wheel is also available complete with an ultra high-performance 235/35-19 tyre from nothelle's technology partner, KUMHO.

Naturally nothelle also takes care to ensure that all the extra power does not throw the A4 off the road. That's why the Ratingen tuning company offers sport suspension systems. Either in the form of a comfort-oriented set of sports springs, as a complete suspension system or as a high-end solution using individually height-adjustable coilovers.

Performance upgrades for diesel and petrol engines

Nothelle gives the diesels a boost by means of chip-tuning or its N TRONIC BOX. The latter represents the intelligent power box for diesel engines, and is a supplementary control unit that will deliver a significant but not excessive performance boost when installed.

Similar performance figures are delivered by the chip-tuning version, LEADERCHIP©, designed for the discerning driver with a desire for more controlled power. The vehicle releases its entire potential and yet at the same time remains supreme and respectable in its running characteristics. The engine offers significantly improved torque and increased power output with well-balanced figures. It is the diplomat among the tuning chips, with unfettered superiority.

As a third alternative nothelle offers the BULLCHIP©, the power upgrade for the driver with sporting ambitions. Full-blooded power delivery, breathtaking torque and fabulous acceleration are its characteristic features. That makes it the muscle man among the tuning chips.

All performance upgrades are of course also available for vehicles with a diesel particle filter.

2.0TFSI Nothelle Style

Of all the A4's petrol engines, the 2-litre TFSI is just asking for some muscle-toning. nothelle turns it into the highlight of its range. In the case of the turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine, the conversion delivers a leap in power output up to a magnificent 310 horsepower! That makes it possible for the A4 to reach a top speed of 280 km/h (175 mph). Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.5 seconds will have many a 911-owner booking his Porsche in for a performance check at the first workshop he comes across.

As a rule nothelle can offer performance upgrades for all engines. In all its development work the tuning firm naturally pays greatest attention to ensuring compliance with all applicable emissions standards. And all with TÜV approval and under warranty.

2009 Cadillac STS-V

Introduction

A just ten years ago, the exchange was slim, if you want a luxury sports sedan with medium-steroidal power and space for four adults. BMW's latest version of its M5 was just about ready to press state side, and Mercedes had just introduced E55 AMG. But if none of these super-sports sedan tickled you, you were pretty much out of luck. Today is competing models from Audi, Jaguar and Maserati have elbowed their way in this exclusive segment alongside updated action from BMW and Mercedes. And then there's the 2009 Cadillac STS-V, now in its fourth year on the market. It is an attempt by GM to cut the superior European competition down to size.


Thanks to its Supercharged 4.4-liter V8, the 2009 STS-V can sprint from zero to 60 km / h at an impressive 5.1 seconds. , The STS-V is not even close to being the fastest car in this segment is proof of the ferocity of the current horsepower wars. That honor goes to the brutally powerful Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, which reaches 60 in a physics-flouting 4.3 seconds. But make no mistake - the STS-V is a fleet-footed luxury sedan. And while it does not offer world-beating handling, it is no slouch here either, having been suspended in extensively on the Nürburgring's famous Nordschleife during its development. When you consider these traits beside STS-V's direct civilized ride and spaciously luxurious interior, there is no doubt that this remains a highly desirable car even after four years of production.

Thing is, GM's got a warmer irons in the fire - it would be the new CTS-V, which is marginally less than the STS-V, but about the same size as the Germans. It boasts a mildly detuned version of the new Corvette ZR-1's Supercharged V8. On paper, which means that it will lay off several full 81 more horsepower and 111 pound-feet of torque than the STS-V's already healthy 469 horsepower and 439 lb-ft. In practice, the CTS-V has lapped the Nürburgring in a production sedan record 7 minutes and 59 seconds. The STS-V is no slouch, but it can not touch all-out performance of its brash new brother and sister.

Still, the fact that the traditionally staid Cadillac is now offering two Nürburgring-bred sports luxury sports sedan is a good measure of how well the brand has reinvented itself in recent years. 2009 Cadillac STS-V certainly does justice to the high-performance "V" badge, though it no longer sprightliest Steed in Cadillac's stable. But there are many highly competent players in this segment, then we will recommend to give the competition a close look too. Audi S6, BMW M5, Jaguar XJR, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, and even a little pricier Maserati Quattro Porte are all worth considering.

Body style, trim levels, and Options

2009 Cadillac STS-V is a great high-performance sedan available in a fully loaded trim level. Standard equipment includes 18-inch front wheels and 19-inch rear wheels, Xenon HID headlamps, rear parking assist, rain-sensing wipers, a sunroof, keyless entry / ignition, leather and faux suede upholstery, heated eight-way power front seats, driver memory functions, heated outboard rear seats and a heated steering wheel. Dual-zone automatic climate control, a head-up display, a navigation system, Bluetooth and a 15-speaker Bose surround sound system with six-CD changer, auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio are also standard. The only option is to delete the roof.
Power Trains and Performance

A Supercharged 4.4-liter V8 making 469 horsepower and 439 lb-ft of torque is the secret to the STS-V's massive acceleration. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic with manual shift control. Besides 0-60-mph sprint in 5.1 seconds, we clocked an STS-V through quarter-mile in a blistering 13.6 seconds at 106 km / h, although this achievement is far from the best class.


Security

Anti-lock disc brakes, stability control, traction control, front-seat side airbags, full-length head curtain airbags, OnStar and a rearview camera are all standard on the 2009 Cadillac STS-V. Also standard is a blind spot and Lane departure warning systems.

In government crash tests, STS scored four out of five stars for frontal crash protection and front-seat side protection against impact. It received five stars for the rear side doors protection against impact. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal-offset crash test, the regular STS scored a rating of "Good", the highest possible. It scored a second best rating of "acceptable" to the Agency protection against impact.


Interior design and special features

2009 Cadillac STS-V sport satisfactory levels of fit and finish, and luxury buyers may be happy with this Cadillac's generally high-class atmosphere. But there are some low-grade plastic to be found - a shortcoming shared by both STS-V's competitors or finely wrought CTS-V. Controls are straightforward and mostly intuitive, but memory-setting procedure for driver seat, mirrors, radio and climate control requires an undue amount of futzing around with touchscreen menu system. Trunk space, at 13.8 Cubic, is perhaps a little disappointing considering the car's overall size.


Driving Impressions

Put the pedal down in the 2009 Cadillac STS-V and you immediately rise up in a huge wave of torque Supercharged, although six-speed automatic is not so quick-witted as it should be in a V-badged car. The sport-tuned suspension, powerful Brembo brakes and large wheels and tires conspire to imbue the STS-V with a remarkably complex character for higher speeds and around corners. Compared with the single-minded M5, the STS-V feels a little soft, but body roll is remarkably well controlled for such a large car.

Facing the bleak year of business (target monthly sales of cars 1/2012 to 60% reduction compared with the previous month), the car company launched a series of tactics to stimulus rebate promotions, along with it promises many new models appear in the future. But is the "way" can stimulate the auto market when there are many "barriers"?

Promotion stimulus
To stimulate the market, many enterprises producing and assembling cars in the country as well as the official importer of some car manufacturers have launched promotions and incentives to attract tourists on their side.
Opened the first car company to move to stimulate the market as Mercedes-Benz Vietnam and programs for customers to buy new C-Class and E-Class from now until the end of the month 2/2012 at the authorized dealer of Mercedes-Benz Vietnam nationwide. Each car will receive customer support 3% fee.

Do not stand at the race this round customer support, Toyota Vietnam launched the program "Free car insurance for Fortuner" in networks of TMV dealers nationwide for all customers who purchase and receive Fortuner (line V, G and TRD Sportivo).
Accordingly, the customer pays in full and received Fortuner (line V, G and TRD Sportivo) in the agent system of TMV in on time will get 2 years free insurance typically physical (including security material vehicle insurance, car theft and the entire water hammer) 2 years' compensation insurance for the driver and passengers (at 100 million / person) and 1-year liability insurance for third third (50 million for the property or per person / service) ...
Ford Vietnam to the car company has just launched promotions to stimulate both increased price.Besides the new price for many cars, Ford Vietnam has also done promotions, discounts with discounts of at least 18.5 million for Focus 2.0 AT car and at most 53 million for Mondeo 2.3 with February and March.
In addition, the company was able to apply a 14.2% interest rate fixed in the first 6 months. The program applies to 31/3, for cars 2.0P Focus, Escape 4x2, Everest 4x2MT, Transit, Escape 4x4.
BYD Vietnam is no exception to the rule when launching new car buyers to support bank lending up to 70% of the vehicles for a period of up to 4 years. In addition, customers will receive discounts from 13-20 million to buy vehicles from 15/2 - 15/4/2012.
This is just the first move in a campaign of car stimulus in Vietnam, difficult business situation will make the remaining automakers launched several more promotions afternoon to salvage the situation somewhat bleak at present.
Many "barriers"
Domestic automobile market is witnessing "market-dimensional scene," the registration fee, registration fee and vehicle plate number increases since early this year and many car manufacturers have difficulty with the number of car sales plummeted. Recently, Ho Chi Minh City has also proposed increasing vehicle registration fees less than 10 seats to 20% from the date of 07.01.2012, instead of 15% today (a new application from a / 1/2012).
In particular, Hanoi has been done to "clean" vehicles in keeping the streets 262 of 9 districts have also led many to own a car intended to "shrink" step.
Hoang Minh (Hoai Duc, Hanoi, Vietnam) share, taxes and fees to own a car made him rise hesitate when deciding to "pick" a Toyota Vios. But by the distance to 20 km bodies, so he decided to end of January will buy a car. However, last week the parking lot near his body was no longer, if you want to send away to go about 2 miles so he decided to continue moving "dream" to own a car.
As well as looking uncomfortable around car parks, Mai Anh - a newspaper reporter based Cau Giay district, lamented: "The work force yourself to move many places, if you go to meetings in hotels also help, but now to meet in the ministries had no car parking, let alone elsewhere ... Many times late to meetings or appointments wrong time to look around just for keeping the car. Sure I'll have to go back to the motorcycle to "maneuver" in work ".
Not only with the "barriers", if the proposed application fees for circulation facilities and personalautomobile expenses go into the city center rush hour is applied, the burden of costs for car owners will fill as much, leading to consumer psychology will delay buying a car.

Maybach "dead": Daimler lost 330,000 euros per car

In its latest financial report from the manufacturer Daimler said it had lost 330,000 euros per Maybach luxury car sold, an amount so large enough that you bought a Ferrari or Lamborghini supercar .

The Daimler has unveiled the details of the bad financial situation of the company. Accordingly, the company sold only 3000 Maybach luxury car in the 7 years since revived the brand. Although the car has a high price but Daimler announcement, they have lost 330,000 euros ($ 439,260) on each car they sell.
Cause
The reason the company lost a large amount because they have invested 1 billion euros (U.S. $ 1,33 billion) to revive the brand had been "death" is. However meager sales has led to the death re-brand Maybach. Previously, Daimler Mercedes-Benz with confidence when Maybach was revived, the ultra-luxury car brand Maybach will be sufficient challenges Bentley and Rolls-Royce, with seven different models were developed from the chassis of the S-Class. But the decision to death this super brand is the answer to the beliefs of Daimler and Mercedes-Benz.

In addition to the 57 and 62, also developed the Maybach 62 Landaulet with prices up to USD 1.35 million, and only very few cars were sold 62 Landaulet.
The design of the Maybach nothing special, not make too big difference compared to the cars in the segment of "luxury". "Extended version of the S-Class" - the calling of experts in the automobile industry, was officially sold out since 2005, with two major versions of the Maybach 57 and Maybach 62. The car is equipped with many modern technologies, the luxury accessories, but lacks style "other", and even the name given to length vehicle can not make those who are seeking a vehicle class can make happy.
Run slower than Rolls-Royce and Bentley, the Messieurs Hubbert thought, Schrempp and Zetsche - the person responsible for the resurgence in the Maybach, to create a real car class. But all the expectations of Daimler, Mercedes-Benz and of any enthusiast will quickly become disappointed, most evidence is sales very much lower than expected. The Maybach actually have nothing superior to the two major players in the ultra-luxury segment, but property prices are excessively high.
The display and sales agents Maybach was designed to match with its brand of luxury car, and to get it then the cost of maintaining the agency is also very expensive, but car sales business out was very low, agents are always in a state of prolonged losses. Although Daimler had to rescue plans Maybach, but with the launch of two upgrades of the 57 and 62 in 2010, with not many changes in design, the brand seems to be only death matter of time.
Future "black"
No stopping, ultra-luxury brand of Daimler also intends to develop an SUV based on the chassis of the GL-Class, with two rear seats can become comfortable sleeping quarters, with plates separating the cockpit with the rear cabin, a shorter version was also named in the Maybach 52 Maybach's plan, also developed a version of the Mercedes-Benz Ocean Drive Concept, a four-door convertible.
Daimler and Aston Martin have had talks about building a new generation Maybach brand. We even had a private alternative versions 57 and 62 will be unveiled at Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011, but have not got a new design was introduced.
According to some sources, while Daimler and Aston Martin talks on a new car, Audi also plans to revive the Horch brand to deal with Maybach, BMW is said also intends to develop a version the sports car brand Rolls-Royce. However, all of which are very dim, the more likely the two companies will continue to for the Maybach "sleep" for a while longer and spend time developing new models.
