MAYBACH 62 S


MAYBACH 62 S

И все-таки, не зря Mersedes не остановился перед миллионными вложениями ради реинкарнации уже канувшей в Лету марки Maybach. Ведь этот фешенебельный Maybach 62 S со своим роскошным дизайном «пера» Оливье Булэ, с мажорным хромированным бампером и изысканной бижутерией светотехники выглядит «эксклюзивно» даже на фоне реальных эксклюзивов!

62 — это количество дециметров в длине кузова, S - значит Spezial — модификацию с активизированным битурбомотором V12, развивающем 612 вместо стандартных 550. Выпуск «специальной» серии начался еще в 2005 году, когда на свет появился «короткий» Maybach 57 S. Но если в короткой версии форсированный двигатель вполне понятен – за его руль владелец порой садится и сам, то для чего он 62? Или потенциальный владелец настолько щедр, что готов доплачивать немалые деньги за мощный движок для своего водителя?

Что качается комфорта салона, то в мире нет больше легкового автомобиля, который сравнился бы с Maybach 62 по количеству свободного места для ног задних пассажиров. Так растянуться на кресле вы сможете разве что в самолетном бизнес-классе – ноги не заденут ничего кроме подставки для ступней. Подголовники при этом поистине царские. Выполненные из тончайшей кожи, они оснащены специальным бесшумным сервоприводом, регулирующим высоту и угол наклона, избавляющим вашу шею от малейшего дискомфорта.

Настоящее восхищение вызывает огромная прозрачная крыша. Вот уж действительно вселенная над головой. При желании ее можно закрыть и салон погрузится в мягкий полумрак. Отделится от внешнего мира, помогает и перегородка между водительским отсеком. Нажатием одной клавиши стекло перегородки из прозрачного становится опалово-матовым, и ни одна живая душа не способна будет помешать покою пассажира.

Bali deserves two thumbs signals in terms of modifications. Their work, especially for motorcycles, has a value of very high art. Maybe you still remember the Honda Vario diamond studded or low-rider Honda Beat Kompas.com displayed.

This time, there's nothing more powerful, the work I Dewa Gede Agus Umbara. Incidentally, Agus was an artist. No doubt, Honda Supra 1999 production was constrained ogoh-ogoh alien style. Agus so called results of this hand skills.

Of view, the process needed a calm, precision, and patience and a bit complex because so many details. "We did keep his alien form perfect, such as the bone loss, legs, and head," he explained.

Deserves praise back to Agus because he uses the waste, not the new components. Lyrics of the tail and head. He said that the use of waste from the fence combined with a motor component unused. He took the example of shockbreker front, gear, until the chain.

Fuel tank is made of a tube in the middle of the rod. Admittedly, filling stations must use the small tube. Then, several former shockbreker made hand and foot.

Although the form of many doubtful if these aliens can walk, Agus ensure made able to slide. Only, he says that for the new will take, he had to adapt because the bike was heavy. Then, buttocks feel uncomfortable because sitting on hard metal.

Have you ever seen a contrived skutik so big scooter (skusar) as Scooter Majesty? Well, Andit Kandiawan from Surabaya, East Java, successfully realize the basic ingredients of artificial Honda Vario 2008. Admittedly, Majesty was the inspiration to the formation of this skusar figure.

Here, the most notable changes made to the body Andit. To be added bongsor, the framework of constrained delay in accordance with gede body that will be built. Central framework under floordeck a single 2.5-inch pipe size is not enough convicted.

"I'm looking for larger diameter pipe again, more or less 20 cm and then welded patent diselubungkan and use electric welding," he explained. To be even stronger, there is an additional booster of 2 cm-thick plates. Set up the welding plate to oppose the moment of the play so that the frame remains strong.

For body affairs, practically Andit "brake" when done. The reason, he was used to make car body modification. "Assembled themselves as the concept that mimics the Yamaha Majesty, including the design of a labored seat rather low imitate Japanese scooter big," said enthusiasts Honda CB200 and Kawasaki Binter this Merzy.

Design headlights made cool by using light framed CBR 900. Here, the element of luxury immediately apparent, especially with audio installed to add support for high-end features.

Because the car modif experience, this hero city builder to apply designs ever used in the car. One of them, oil catch tank. You know, the canister containing a filter to separate the heat and the usual oil applied to the flow modif Japan Domestic Market (JDM).


Want to view Yamaha V-ixion like this? Nah need to be recast body. However, do not necessarily view this bike blamed "negative" because of not using a mirror. Remarkably, even without a mirror, behind the state could be monitored without having to turn heads.

That can be done because the motor sport tuning fork bearing is equipped with CCTV cameras. "Our camera planted in the back near the license plate," said Julius Triwibowo, the modifikator. Then, pull the cable from the back forward, and the monitor mounted on the gas tank.

Very small size of the monitor. Said Julius Bowo-so usually called-size only 10 x 8 cm. Although small, the owner BW modification is sure if the tool is very helpful driver. Only, the body must be bent to watch the monitor screen.

In addition to the camera installation, Bowo also makes motorcycles look so handsome. The parts are solid contrived empty. For example, given a cover body, including under the gas tank and the engine (engine guard).

At the front, upside down sokbreker using a variation made in Taiwan. Headlights replaced with Suzuki Satria FU belongs-150, and the result is perfect. Speedometer is also taken from the 4-stroke motors that.

Still on the front, so macho after tongkrongan fitted with a double disc. After looking more solid, so look more manly after both wheels fitted with wide tires.


Junaidi Saputra from Medan, North Sumatra, try to develop more low flow rider modifications. Indeed, judging from the look of his Yamaha Mio Sporty, a strong impression that only lengthen modifikator axle which is characteristic of low-rider. But, if the scrutiny right, there is an experiment that looked at it skutik garputala logo.

"As shown on the front and rear wheels, a long follow-up," said Junaidi, builder Admair Thula (AT) which is based in Medan. Total length of the motor to be 3.5 meters. That is, dimensions Mio delay of about 1 meter.

Long retreat, retreat, said Junaidi, to 32 cm. This does not include the end of the outer tire. However, there are unique on the retreat, withdraw it. When the construction is typically shaped letters "H", here he made a model "J".

"To be strong due to rim and engine load, the material is taken from galvanized," he explained. This effort shall thumbs up. Imagine, with the rear wheel of a super-wide, the device remains in the middle. If viewed from the tire and rim application, then surely this Mio into Bobber style.

To adjust the back of the already overly stretch, re-house CVT reformed. Way, that part was cut and added to plates 8 cm to match the back, though not quite fit the position because it was too out of place.

Front wheel chopper-like models in the Harley-proved difficult to maneuver. Turning radius is very small like a chopper-style motorcycle HD. Changes made by sliding out and replace komstir triangular shaped enggak again straight, but it resembles a "V".

When asked to roads with berziga-zagging in between rows of cones, the motor was trouble. In fact, the driver must be off the foot many times. However, testing his courage Junaidi to take the road more than 5 km.



Scooter modification would not shift from low flow rider. Shallow, elastic axle tens of centimeters and used alloy car wheels. Meanwhile, Muhammad Sidik it out of the grip. Yamaha Mio 2007 made her just changed its form so the classical model.

Body reforms carried out using body Fino. In fact, the trend itself has emerged in 2007. However, Sidik do not care about people screaming. After all, the bike got him. He adds that support variation of motorcycles classic.

To conjure body replaced Mio Fino, Sidik had to spend approximately USD 6 million. When installation, Mio framework should be slightly modified. Because the body suggests a classic Fino, a variety of goods classic smelling body was stuck to.

Look rod exhaust, taken from the Honda CB100 found prints in Kebun Jeruk III. Once installed, it looks okay and does not affect a machine's performance is still the standard.

Because classical, on the back and front of the given rack. "If the front of his own design pure. Use 2 mm stainless steel," said Sidik. The rear rack that often mimic variations used Vespa community. "Classical and fit together a new body rada body fat like the Vespa," continued the new bride.

Another classic look at the model number of the police. Instead of cross, but parallel to sepatbor. Then, the front fitted with a windshield. Uniquely, if used a large size, this small size prints use and even looks like a visor. "Want to be different. So with the visor as a classic, but the sporty," he said. Size and design must be adapted to form a slightly rounded body that.


Another modification of the flow of new trends that will busy, ie, hot rod on skutik. "Contribution" is from a collaboration with Shaflingga Budi "Big" Rahmanto from Big Modification, East Jakarta. They conjure up a 2005 Yamaha Mio classic street rod style.

Consideration Agha-Shaflingga-friendly greeting as timeless and classic style ever be preferred. For example, he continued, could lyrics Fino body that proved many fans. This is different with custom body that would favor a moment.

The specialty of this modification is telling Fino combines a slim body with great legs. It's like the front is fitted with 4-inch wide tires, and rear 8 inches in diameter and 14 inches. "We want a slim body sustained significant leg. Therefore, deliberately ordered alloy wide soles," says this economics graduate.

Apply because the flow of hot rod (American style), design alloy wheels with a penchant for tailored adherents of this school in his native country, by wearing tight radius of up to 120 bar spending. Because there is a replacement rim, could not help but be a special drum made of aluminum material which dibubut logs.

To give the impression that the foot is used really big, so contrived skubek flat. That means the suspension system changed a bit. "Purposely constrained rigid front and back so that there is a distance enggak play. The goal, avoiding stuck between the body and wheels," said Agha.

Custom exhaust design reinforced pointed style. According to Agha, the model is copied from the Harley-Davidson magazine. Size adjusted body stay Mio. Budi enggak Agha and only focus on large section, but also improve bagaian detail.



For daily use, Yamaha Mio Sporty appearance of this Purwokerto less unsightly. Modifications to impress without the concept and look busy. Siswo Winoto, builder of Win's Paddock, Purwokerto, Central Java, such as running out of ideas when working on the production 2008 Yamaha skutik this.

The reason, sejal Mio early experiments on this, he just wants to escape the flow of low-rider and hotrod. In fact, "I try to combine the concept of low-rider and hotrod. It makes matic fighter," said Win, Winoto Siswo close calls.

Win a fighter matic work is hardly a breakthrough because it is similar to streetfighter. Moreover, here will find trimming chassis, and lived 30 percent maintained the original framework, including komstir to down tube.

For the trellis model framework of the Ducati Monster is transformed into this skutik, Win spent a total of 9 meters pipes with different diameters. For the main frame, he wore a size 3.4-inch pipe 4.5 meters long, while for the buffer, it uses 1.5-inch pipe.

"Out pipe about 9 meters. All contrived mutual support. Sokbreker Includes rear support, it must be careful," said Win. He continued, if one construction, the burden of retaining the pipe can be bent sokbreker.

For finishing, so-so this process given thumbs-up. Detail and color composition formulated neat. However, it would be interesting if the back axle is not excessive, and the use of handlebars are not too wide.

However, there was an interesting time this bike out of smoke. Exhaust tip with a small hole-like automatic weapons-will spin.

Lotus Sport Exige GT3

2006 Lotus Sport Exige GT3Lotus Press ReleaseA prototype of the Lotus Sport Exige GT3 race car was unveiled at the annual FIA GT Championship presentation ceremony outside the world famous Casino in Monte Carlo, Monaco on 2 December, 2005. The following day (2 December, 2005), the first test for the car took place at the high speed Paul Ricard High Tech Test Track in Southern France under FIA supervision, the first stage in the Lotus Sport Exige GT3 becoming eligible for FIA GT3 competition. This latest FIA series, which will start in 2006, is for race cars that have an equal power to weight, and that have a direct lineage to their road going versions.The Lotus Sport Exige GT3 entrant has been developed by Lotus Sport, the performance arm of Lotus Cars and is a derivative of the standard Lotus Exige coupé model. Weighing in at approximately 750 kg, it stays true to the "performance through light weight" core Lotus philosophy. The car uses a race prepared 1.8 2ZZ-GE VVTL-i engine with a Roots type supercharger and air to air intercooler which utilises the Lotus T4e Engine Control Unit to produce 285 hp (289 PS) at 7,800 rpm. This gives an impressive power to weight ratio of 380 hp / tonne or 2.6 kg / PS.Following a brief shakedown programme at the Lotus Test Track at Hethel, factory test driver Gavan Kershaw carried out final chassis set up work on wet tyres in the morning session at the Paul Ricard official FIA test. This was followed by an outing on slick tyres on a drying track by FIA nominated test driver Christophe Bouchut.Commenting on the encouraging test session, Chris Arnold, General Manager of Lotus Sport, explained: "We were delighted to attend the official FIA test session. Considering the car was still on the drawing board two months ago it's a fantastic achievement by the team to complete the build in such a short time. We knew this test would be a first shakedown for the car on slicks and I'm very pleased with the results. Our winter development programme starts with a wind tunnel test just before Christmas followed by further work in preparation for the next FIA test in March."The FIA has announced a five race European championship for the new GT3 class with rounds in the UK, Germany, Belgium, France and Italy. Various national GT Championships are also considering amending their regulations to include a GT3 class.Basic prototype specificationLike the standard Exige, the Lotus Sport Exige GT3 comes complete with the award-winning light weight bonded aluminium chassis. This is complemented by low weight 5-spoke forged alloy wheels, carbon body panels, and a revised high downforce aerodynamic package incorporating a race front splitter and adjustable carbon fibre rear wing.An FIA 6-point roll cage, ignition kill switches, and uprated braking and suspension systems including Öhlins 3-way adjustable dampers also feature on the new race car. A 6-speed sequential transmission system, and full data logging system have been fitted to the single seater prototype vehicle.Availability, full specification, and price of the Lotus Sport Exige GT3 will be announced in early 2006.

http://bataknews.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/mobil-sedan-mewah-bmw-z4-1.jpg Fulfilling Your Dreams Of Luxury With The Help Of BMW Los Angeles

Since 1913, BMW has been revered as a vehicle of great luxury and performance. Today’s modern drivers still look to the BMW to deliver the high-end quality for which it has been known for nearly 95 years. And while the BMW may have originated in Munich, Germany, it is a vehicle much beloved in America. If you look to those American cities renowned for glamour and luxury you will inevitably find a strong population of BMW drivers. So it’s no wonder that some of the most popular dealers in the country are BMW Los Angeles dealers.

Los Angeles is a city strongly associated with prestige – from the weather to the Hollywood industry; L.A. is home and host to a multitude of high-powered business and entertainment executives; it is where the money is and where the beautiful and rich go to work, live, and vacation. But unlike its east coast counterpart of New York City where public transportation thrives, Los Angeles is a city firmly rooted in driving. So it should stand to reason that the vehicles being driven in and around Los Angeles carry quite a bit of weight. BMW Los Angeles dealers know that they must deliver a wide variety of BMW models – everything from sedans and compacts, to SUVs and motorcycles - befitting the L.A. lifestyle.

Before purchasing your BMW from a BMW Los Angeles dealer make sure you have aligned your budget with your wish list. BMW is a luxury vehicle brand and as such it comes with a luxury vehicle price tag. But not all BMWs are same; if you are willing to sacrifice some bells and whistles you can own a BMW without quite as hefty payments. Shop online to compare prices and be mindful of pre-owned vehicles and deeply discounted year-end models.

But vacationers can get in on the action as well; if you are visiting California and find a need to rend a vehicle, visit a BMW Los Angeles dealer for a luxury vehicle that will elevate your vacation from ordinary to spectacular Article Source:http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Michelle bery

BMW Lights



For many people BMW is the symbol of the perfect car. It has the luxury to impress the connoisseur, the sporty look for every adrenaline lover and it is as safe as a car can be today. The great design and the driving experience you can get from it are an attractive factor.

BMW engineers took their time to think about every aspect of this amazing vehicle and the lights are one of their fine solutions. The simplicity is rarely the case when talking about the BMW lights. They are always innovative and modern looking. They are the very thing that comes to mind when thinking about the car of the future.

Latest technology is implemented on regular bases to keep the lights to the best quality they can be in every moment. They are durable and they will last as long as you could normally need them.

Headlights are maybe the most important lights for the driver. They ensure that the driver has the visibility he needs during the night or in dim and foggy days. The visibility should be always provided no matter of the lights you use but there are many other factors which are also important.

The technology of the headlights passed a long way. Headlight bulbs are improved to provide a better lighting with less energy cost. The glare they become for other drivers is also greatly reduced. This is one part of the technology that makes the BMW safer. Most of the headlights in BMW use the incandescent light bulb technology. Usually the halogen-type is used with separate high and low beam bulbs to insure light for short and long distances. In some cases a single light bulb is possible too. It has dual filament on each side.

The lenses of the headlights are also improved to provide a better heat resistance. No matter what the weather conditions are these lenses should endure everything for a longer period of time. New more durable materials are used to provide that and the final durability of these lenses is increased with every next solution BMW provide.

One very popular solution for BMW headlights is called Euro Altezza. Some pretty cool things about these lights are headlight covers and masks. These accessories are adding some aesthetic look to the lights. This pretty solution inspired many people to add the unique look they desire for their cars.

Every time the driver sits behind the wheel and takes control of the vehicle he has the access to all the levers and buttons that should be used while driving. Still even with all these functions present the driver can't have the absolute control over the vehicle. That's why some safety devices should be present. The auto taillights are one of these devices. They provide information about the car condition and if it will stop right in front of the driver behind it and provoke a dangerous situation.

Many car accidents happen just because of that - the driver behind can't tell if the one in front of him is stopping and bumps into him. That's why the taillights are so important and they should always be visible for the driver behind to tell him when he should decrease the velocity of his car to ensure a fine quick stop if he needs it.

BMW projector headlights are one reliable solution you could get. It will replace the standard headlights of your car. This will help you navigate in dark environment in a better way without compromising your safety. These projector headlights differ from the other one. The light here is more focused and the "scatter loss" is reduced.

The projector headlights are designed to work as a slide projector and not as reflectors. It is said that this way is superior and provide higher efficiency. This technology provides a good and accurate light dispersion. These lights also provide high and low beam and the driver will not feel a lack of anything he needs.

BMW projector lights are available everywhere and finding the one you desire will be very easy. Full specification is provided by BMW and it is available for everyone.

Now let's see a few products available on the market. The first one I will discuss is called Stealth Light Bulbs or Invisibulbs. These lights have a silver color and a pretty appearance when they are off. When turned on they radiate amber light. They are desired because of the fine style they give to the vehicle. They come with lifetime guarantee or in other words 5000 hours of work.

Xenon headlights are one very good solution too. It is normal for the xenon to warm up for 15 seconds but even in the instance you turn on these lights you will have enough light and the next seconds you will get even more. The real xenon BMW headlights will adjust themselves as you drive. They will dip the moment you brake and rise when you increase the velocity of the car. This simple thing comes to be pretty amazing when you are behind the wheel. They will adjust their position too giving you exactly the visible area you need. For example they will point up a bit when you accelerate keeping you informed of the distance further because you are rapidly reaching for it.

These automatic adjustment xenon lights will compensate everything no matter if you drive up or down the hill. It is illegal to prevent them from doing that by jamming them off because the xenon is brighter and it could become a risky component when blinding up other drivers ahead. That's why you should pay attention on what exactly you are buying when thinking about xenon headlights. Keep also in mind that their price is around $1000 for each of the xenon headlight assemblies.

Tips to Buying a Car

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M6eaVrw3nuk/Sf7dYGrma7I/AAAAAAAAABA/9UQXbLfw2T0/s320/ferari.jpg Tips to Buying a Car

I need a car. I've been a pedestrian for too long. I need information. I'll hop on the web. Search for "car buying guides." Whoa! Over 15 million sites/pages! Refine my search. "Free first time car buyer guides" and narrow it down to only 4 million. That's about as refined as I can get right now. Look over the first page of my results, chose some links with names I recognize. Open some pages. Lots of interesting articles. Let's see if I can pull together a cohesive list.

What type of vehicle do I need? Notice I wrote "need" not want? I want a cool car, but this is a major investment and cool doesn't really last that long. Do I buy new or used? What kind of driving am I really going to be doing, and in what kind of conditions? How much can I reasonably spend for monthly maintenance? How much can I spend on a loan or lease payment? Should I buy from a dealer, an auction or private sale? How's my credit rating? Where should I buy insurance? Lots of questions to answer, and probably some I haven't included here.

Before you search for that cool car, decide exactly what your needs and wants are. Don't buy what you want, buy what you need. Don't get into a cash bind because you spent more than you can really afford because the "cool" factor fades fast but those monthly payments continue. Review your budget to determine how much you can really afford. That means not only the car payment, but insurance and an estimate of your monthly maintenance (gas, oil, etc.)

Check your credit so you have an idea of what type of loan you can qualify for. Decide on a firm price (payment or full-purchase), because dealers and salespeople will be doing their best to get more out of you. Be firm and stick to your dollar amount. If financing, decide on a realistic maximum payment you can make. If possible, check with your bank to see what type of loan you qualify for.

With the internet, it's now much easier to compare vehicles. Take the time to check out some websites that offer information about vehicles and compare. Don't just rush out and buy the first car you see. Remember, your vehicle is a major investment and unless you can change vehicles every year, this car will probably have to last you 4 or 5 years. Be choosy. Look at the pictures, sure, but READ the information. Check to see if the dealership offers web discounts (that is, if you buy from them they will offer some discount for using the web).

Educate yourself about vehicle pricing. Dealerships have to make a profit; otherwise they would not be in business! Simple economics. Dealers will negotiate, but YOU have to be prepared as well. The dealers and salespeople know their bottom line on any vehicle. Again, check the web for information regarding pricing. Ask family and friends to help you learn about vehicle pricing. There are many factors that most people don't even know about.

Make certain you qualify for insurance. Check out your state's department of motor vehicles website and learn the minimum insurance necessary. Check around the web and you'll find many major insurance companies with rate comparison features. Use those resources. Be very aware that your past driving record will affect your rates, but also if you are a first time buyer, be ready for slightly higher rates to begin with. After all, the insurance company is really gambling on your not making any claims against the insurance. Think about the type of driving you will be doing and review the "extras" offered by the insurance provider. Also, the type of vehicle you are looking to purchase will affect your rates as well. Older cars usually mean less safety features, so rates will be higher. Your vehicle insurance is just as important as your health insurance.

A short note here about car dealerships (and not just the new vehicle showroom guys). I personally have not had good results buying from a private seller. Way too many variables and basically no recourse if something isn't right. Dealers have certain rules and restrictions they must comply with, such as title registration time limits, the lemon law, and the "buyers remorse" (3 day changed my mind) rules. Dealerships must be licensed and follow the laws; private sellers often don't. Dealerships also can provide a wider range of options than a private seller. Go to your state motor vehicle or department of licensing website and educate yourself. What you don't know can hurt you.

Also, there is a list called the Customer Service Index (or something similar) which each car maker maintains for dealerships. The ranking indicates who a dealership satisfies customers not only in sales, but also in service. Basically, go to the manufacturer's website, search for customer service index and then navigate the website to find that manufacturer's criteria for a great dealership. Yes it takes time, but this is a major investment. Family and friends can help here as well.

Once you have decided what type of vehicle you want, and which dealerships you want to check out (always try at least 2 dealerships, don't just settle on one!), take someone with you, preferably someone knowledgeable about the vehicle you have chosen (a family member or friend you feel comfortable with). That person will probably ask some questions you didn't think of! I'm a wimp when it comes to negotiating, but my hubby isn't, and he knows about cars. I let him do most of the questioning, even though I was the one purchasing the car. Believe me, it helped, because he asked questions I really never thought about.

Last, but certainly not least, TEST DRIVE THE CAR! Sounds simple, but it is very important. Just because you found what looks like the car of your dreams, it may still not be right. You need to be comfortable behind the wheel, your sight lines should be clear, you should be able to judge your surroundings based on the size of the vehicle, and you should be able to find all those little areas of vehicle maintenance you can do yourself.

Remember, a vehicle is a major investment. It should be chosen with care and deliberate thought. There a many factors to consider and, ultimately, you are the one that has to pay for any mistakes in your choice.

2011 Nissan GT-R Receives Mechanical and Equipment Upgrades [Mega Gallery with 110 High-Res Photos]




We know it sounds bizarre as the GT-R was only launched in late 2007, and in spite of the fact that the sports coupe received several model year upgrades including engine and suspension revisions in December 2008, Nissan has yet again announced the release of a 'facelift' model that will go on sale in Japan on December 7 and the rest of the world in spring of 2010.

For the 2011 model year, the updated GT-R receives a number of enhancements, including a revised navigation system, recalibrated suspension settings and an improved-flow catalyst system.

More specifically, equipment improvements comprise of a new HDD-based CARWINGS navigation system with enhanced entertainment functions and USB port with iPod connectivity.

According to Nissan, the 2011MY GT-R's suspension has been retuned to offer "enhanced, premium quality ride comfort, while still providing the driver with a feeling of direct contact with the road surface".

Suspension changes include the increased accuracy of the front shock absorbers and springs and the strengthening of the stiffness of the rear suspension radius rod bushings has been strengthened.

In addition, Nissan said that the rear diffusers with cooling ducts that improve cooling performance around the rear floor area which were previously available only on the more hardcore GT-R SpecV, are now offered on the base model.

As for the GT-R SpecV, the 2011 model year brings revised rear shock absorber settings, with Nissan claiming that they enhance "the characteristic combination of supple ride comfort and flat, predictable handling".

Furthermore, the 2011 GT-R SpecV now ride on Dunlop tires while the previously standard Bridgestone tires are available as a factory-installed option.

Finally, both the Nissan GT-R and GT-R SpecV get new hexagonal meshed catalyst cells that are said to reduce ventilation/airflow resistance resulting in improved low- and mid-range response of the 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine.
