Acura NSX – Watch Your Car Being Built

Acura NSX Owners Can Watch Their Cars Being Built

To have a hand in building your own car is a rare experience these days. In the world of exotic cars, the highly technical assembly processes leave little room for error. So we were shocked to find Acura pulling back the curtain on building the 2nd generation NSX. The Insider Experience is a one or two day vacation with concierge service at The Joseph Hotel in Columbus, Ohio. A press release this morning outlined six versions of experience, with a starting price of $2,700.

Single day experiences will be limited to final assembly with customers installing the Acura badge as it rolls off the line. Buyers who opt for the two-day packages will have an opportunity to visit the engine factory in Anna to see the heart of the beast come to life. To make sure every NSX arrives ready for the track, the V6 engine is balanced and given 150 miles of break in before installation. This makes us smile because we see so many exotics that fail to get a proper break in by unscrupulous dealers. Probably because they know it will lead to future service visits. Some of us fall into the category of a minimalist because if I was part of my car’s assembly I would have made sure it left with a roll cage and headers. But Acura is committed to shaking up the world of supercars, so ask our dealers for more information.

800 Horsepower Yenko Camaro

SVE Unveils 800 Horsepower Yenko Camaro

 

Known for building some of the fastest Chevrolets of all time, Don Yenko would be proud to see his name living on. Specialty Vehicle Engineering (formerly known as Street Legal Performance, or SLP) have built incredible versions of GM cars since 1992. Back then it seemed impossible to reach 350 hp while keeping the EPA happy but Ed Hamburger and his son David designed a revolutionary intake and exhaust system for Camaro and Firebird. Fast forward to 2017 and they are still as innovative as ever.

To take a new Camaro to 800 hp is no easy task, so the stock 6.2 liter V8 is bored and stroked to 6.8 liters (416 cubic inches). The new bottom end is completely forged and topped by CNC ported & polished heads. The camshaft is a top-secret design, but it probably has a longer intake duration to make use of the boost. The blower is also proprietary to SVE, and it probably moves more air than most V6 engines.

To fit all that goodness under the stock hood would be impossible, so a new carbon fiber hood is painted to match the Camaro’s factory paint. I can attest to the quality of their paint as I am restoring my 2002 Camaro SS. My hood and rear spoiler look new, while the GM paint has aged in a less than graceful manner. A rarity in the aftermarket, SVE includes a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty on the engine, supercharger and body panels. The best feature of the beastly engine is that it’s not limited to the Camaro. SVE offers this package for the Escalade, Corvette and Silverado. As soon as we get our hands on one, expect to see some wild footage here on Autofluence.

German Drag Race: BMW M3 vs Mercedes-AMG A45

There are plenty of rivals in the automotive world, whether it be between manufacturers, models or even drivers. One of the greatest rivalries has to be between Mercedes-Benz and BMW, two German companies that are constantly competing against each other.

(Dodge Challenger Hellcat vs Ford Mustang GT350)

Archie Hamilton Racing recently took this rivalry to the tarmac and pitted two cars together in different races. The cars in the race were an M3 and an A45 AMG. The races included one from a stop, which gave the A45 and its launch control the advantage. After this drag race came the rolls races from 30 mph and 50 mph.

Check out the video below to see who wins the race!

Mercedes-AMG E63 S Wagon

Mercedes-AMG Unveils New E63 S Wagon

You knew it was going to happen. The mad scientists at AMG have stuffed their twin turbo V8 into the new E-Class wagon. The new E63 S wagon uses the 4.0 liter V8 found in other AMG models to offer 603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. Six times the power of a 1.0-liter Focus is sent through a nine-speed multi-clutch transmission to a revised 4MATIC+ AWD system. It allows 60 mph to arrive in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph (limited electronically). The twin-scroll turbochargers spool up quickly, offering maximum torque from 2,500 to 4,500 rpm.

(Mercedes-Benz Unveils AMG GT C Edition 50)

In an attempt to harness such power, 4MATIC now has an electronic center differential and a locking rear. The body is 1.1-inches wider, which brings cargo space up to 35 cubic feet. A new air ride system has triple chambers which offer lightning quick changes to ride height along with improved camber control. Front brake rotors are 15.4″ and 1.4″ thick. The power steering is electric, with a variable ratio to offer proper feedback. A new Drive Pilot mode uses hands-free steering control along with intelligent cruise control to drive itself in bumper to bumper traffic jams. Handing over that much power to a computer sounds like Skynet, but we will know all the details after the formal launch at the Geneva Motor Show. Stay with us for more Mercedes-AMG news.

BMW Unveils i8 Protonic Frozen Editions

BMW Individual Frozen Paint Guidelines

Protons are located in the nucleus of almost every atom, so they like to be the center of attention. To be formally released at the Geneva Auto Show, the Protonic Frozen Black Edition will arrive in matte black with glossy accents. BMW has offered frozen finishes through the Individual program for several years producing the best matte finish in the industry. The graceful curves of the i8 are made possible by a body of carbon fiber. It will be visible for miles when covered in Protonic Frozen Yellow.

If you have not experienced the i8, its nothing short of amazing. With an electric range of 15 miles, you will have 76 MPGe at your disposal. Efficiency doesn’t diminish performance, as 420 lb-ft of torque and 357 hp make for incredible acceleration. It comes with a home charger that is capable of 240v or 120v operation. The gas engine is a 1.5 liter inline three cylinder with a single turbo. A futuristic cockpit is very low, but being close to the center of gravity and the yaw axis makes cornering very fun. Take a look at these new color options and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Aston Martin Teases Tom Brady

Aston Martin Teases Tom Brady Collaboration

About last night! Wow, what a game. Superbowl 51 will go down as one of, if not the best games in history. Tom Brady, in Tom Brady fashion didn’t allow the first half to discourage The Patriots from an incredible comeback. At the beginning of the 3rd quarter we were lamenting a Monday morning post involving vintage Falcons for sale, but Ford fans will have to wait another year.

Leaving old grievances in the past, Aston-Martin (who retain a Royal Warrant from the Queen) are working with the most famous Patriot in recent history for a transatlantic collaboration.  Mr. Brady has an eye for detail, so something new is in the works for the five time champion. Uploaded to Facebook on Saturday, we hope Gisele will offer input on the build. For many, the idea of an unlimited list of options can be overwhelming. The DB11 is a blank canvas, ready for inspiration. The most powerful DB series engine to date, the 5.2 liter twin turbo twelve offers 600 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque to a hand crafted body. You don’t need a Lombardi Trophy to have your own Aston-Martin, our dealers look forward to bringing your dreams to life. Tell us how you would spec your DB11 and stay with us for more Super news.

2017 Lamborghini Cenenario Coupe

2017 Lamborghini Cenenario Roadster Review

Specs and Pics

The Centenario LP 770-4 was built to celebrate the centenary of Ferruccio Lamborghini’s birth, the founder and brains behind the inception of Lamborghini. Only 20 coupe and 20 roadster versions of Lamborghini’s new supercar will be produced, making it a rarity on all accounts.

All Lamborghini For Sale

“The Centenario is a car that perfectly combines tradition and innovation. It looks to the future while honoring the legend that is Ferruccio Lamborghini,” said Automobili Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann. “The Centenario is an opportunity for our designers and engineers to transcend some of the constraints of series car production to achieve an incomparable result: the Centenario has immediately proved itself as a desirable collectors’ car, while demonstrating new Lamborghini technologies and outstanding performance.“

Specs

• Price: $1,900,000
• Engine: V12
• Horsepower: 770
• Torque: 507 lb-ft
• 0-62 mph: 2.8 seconds
• Top Speed: 217+ mph
• Transmission: 7-speed automatic

Each one comes with the naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 770 hp, with Lamborghini stating it’s the most powerful engine they’ve ever produced. It can run the 3,351-pound car from 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds and 0-186 mph in 23.5 seconds, with a top speed of over 217 mph. Aiding in the quick acceleration is the permanent four-wheel drive, which includes the new Lamborghini rear-wheel steering system. Inside, each Centenario is personalized to the customer’s liking through Lamborghini’s Ad Personam personalization program. The customizable options are not noted, but they likely include color, leather, piping, stitching, Alcantara and other materials, as well as the option to add specific trim materials and exterior colors.

Standard in the Centenario is the 10.1-inch touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay, telemetry and more. The Centenario is just the latest in Lamborghini’s long line of one-off, limited edition cars that show the new technology the brand has to offer. What will be next? Who knows, but we’re going to have to wait a couple more years to find out.

Unveiled during Monterey Car Week is the incredibly anticipated Lamborghini Centenario Roadster.

It comes with the naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 770 hp, with Lamborghini stating it’s the most powerful engine they’ve ever produced. It can run the 3,351 lbs car from 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds and 0-186 mph in 23.5 seconds, with a top speed of over 217 mph. Aiding in the quick acceleration is the permanent four-wheel drive, which includes the new Lamborghini rear-wheel steering system. The exterior is finished in a specially developed paint by Lamborghini called “Argento Centenario,” a matte finish that was created through a process that dissolves the metal while diluting and diminishing the appearance of the metal grain giving it a silky and rich exterior finish. Inside is a cabin that has been optimized for a top-down drive. A channel in the rear wall allows air to flow from the cabin to the rear with minimal turbulence in the cabin.

It comes with a €2 million price (approx. $2,264,600 at the current exchange rate). Only 20 Centenario Roadsters will be made, which are all spoken for.

Specs

• Price: $2,265,000
• Engine: V12
• Horsepower: 770
• Torque: 507 lb-ft
• 0-62 mph: 2.8 seconds
• Top Speed: 217+ mph
