Solid structure.
Camaro architecture is designed to accommodate a convertible model, which means that customers enjoy the pleasure of cruising up and down with a hatchback, like driving dynamics. Four strategic reinforcements increased already stiff body structure to prevent common ailments convertible tighten the wheel cover and steering. They include:
• tower to tower of support under the hood
• A reinforcement of support transmission
• underbody tunnels suspenders
• base front and rear "V" belts.
"Our goal was to make the development of a bond convertible coupe match as closely as possible, ride quality, handling and overall performance," said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro.
A telling example of the strength of the Camaro convertible is reflected in its ride control - in particular, the absence of changes between the convertible and coupe.
"To offset the reduction of the structure of an open car, engineers often make the suspension more flexible, which makes the concert of a boulevard cruiser," said Oppenheiser. "Instead, he took the hard way, but it is better to strengthen the softening of the suspension. We have not changed the rate leg, sleeve or in the spring of Camaro Coupe."
The result is a change that preserves almost all the acceleration and driving performance as well as the Camaro coupe.
Further studies on the safety of structural reinforcements are designed to improve noise and vibration-resistant, while promoting the removal of the chimney / steering wheel shake. They include hydrofromed tube-pillars, windshield header inside the plate, set the front pillar hinge reinforcements in the rocker.
Structural changes in the Camaro convertible body gives excellent torsional rigidity and bending than its nearest competitor, and better torsional rigidity than the BMW 3 Series Convertible.

Exceptional refinement level.
Initially, designers and engineers have sought to dispel the appearance of common support ribs convertible top, and succeeded, using the knuckles composites rather than aluminum, and extend the material below the top line belt and to revise the upper seam lines. The result is a peak with a smooth, taut and carefully adapted to also retain the roofline of the coupe style.
The power folding top retracts in 20 seconds. It is built in collaboration with the manufacturer of the Corvette convertible, and it works similarly. This means that folds into a single "Z" pattern, and latches with a single convenient handle in the center of the head on the windshield. Other models in this product segment, including convertible top with two latches, require the driver in two steps by hand to reach through the car.
Once the lock is turned to the open position, the press of a button reduces the active window and more. The car does not have to be parked until it is activated, so without thinking, while reducing stopped at a red light.
The upper is made of thick, durable canvas and includes documents horn that provides a quiet, coupé-like rolling when the roof is in place. It also contains a glass rear window defroster and rear window.
A bending of a piece of the roof is standard on 2LT and 2SS models and optional on 1LT/1SS. Cover the top down for a finished look. A windshield of accessories is available at Chevrolet dealerships. Is installed behind the front seats to reduce wind shake when driving with the top down.
Additional details.

• OnStar / XM / AM-FM radio antenna moves to cover the bridge LT models without the RS package
• The radio antenna is built into the rear spoiler on LT and SS models equipped with RS-
• The lock cylinder of the trunk moved to the rear seating area for a cleaner look outside
• The subwoofer is located in the frame between the rear seats.
Due to the combined OnStar / XM / AM-FM radio antenna is mounted on the coupe roof, which had to be moved in the convertible. On models equipped with RS-LT and SS models, including a rear spoiler, a small "shark fin" OnStar / XM antenna is mounted on the trunk lid, while the antenna AM / FM radio is hidden in inside the rear wing. This patented design creates a smoother appearance. LT models without rear spoiler (without the RS package), the combined antenna is located in the center of the jumper.
The relocation of the trunk lock also cleans the appearance of the Camaro convertible, moving the panel between the taillights in a quiet area between the seatback and the side panel inside the driver.

"V-Series Sport Wagon is another hallmark of the dramatic presence and power of Cadillac vehicles."
"CTS-V Sport Wagon is a natural extension of the V series and CTS range offers uncompromising performance, car enthusiasts who want the extra space and the wagon," said Don Butler, director of marketing Cadillac. "V-Series Sport Wagon is another hallmark of the dramatic presence and power of Cadillac vehicles."
The exterior is finished in silver, midnight, saw the Cadillac Sixteen concept, and emphasize the shiny liquid silver finish wheels and black chrome grille mesh inserts. The central rear upper spoiler, high-mounted stop lamp are also unique in Car Show.
Inside the car the performance CTS-V Sport Wagon is lined with black leather accents with unique Alcantara ®. The top of the door panels and dash top are covered in the same premium leather accented with wood sapele midnight, while the microfiber material and stitching is applied to the lower door panels, the pillars, console lid, roof and the center of the wheel. The car show features fine grain black leather Recaro seats trimmed with Alcantara ® inserts. The seat inserts are located in the center and accented with dark gray stitching, while the V-Series logo is laser engraved on the back seat. Obsidian black with accents of the center console, steering wheel and console door panels.
The custom color and show car trim components indicates the potential direction of the color and finish in the future Cadillac models. These items are not yet intended for production, but represents the desire of Cadillac to assess customer reaction to new colors and finishing options.
The production CTS-V Sport Wagon.
CTS-V Sport Wagon will go into production in late 2010, with sales in North America, followed by export markets, including Europe and the Middle East. The new model turns the V-series offers, including all variants of the CTS family sedan, hatchback and Sport Wagon body.
Like its sedan and coupe stable mates, the Sport Wagon CTS-V driven by a compressor, 6.2-liter V-8 that delivers 556 hp (415 kW) and backed by a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission speeds. A series of technical and functional elements complement the powertrain, including Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires mounted on rims performance 19-inch forged aluminum.
Like other CTS V-Series Sportwagon models incorporate a single grid which doubles the air flow front to contribute to its high performance features. It is also visually identified by an aggressive front fascia and raised middle section of the aluminum hood made room for the compressor. It mounts on 19-inch wheels forged aluminum are available in lacquer finish or polished.
The rest of the exterior design conveys the drama of the new CTS Sport Wagon, including the following:
• Signature V-shaped deck and tailgate Topic
• vertical tail lamps with high technology, light-pipe
• Power supply opening product divisions (using the button on the keychain or vehicle)
• CHMSL integrated spoiler
• Integrated management of the burden of roof bars available for a uniform appearance
• Cargo Management System Adjustable floor insulation
• UltraView available panoramic sunroof.
On the back is a pair of 3 inches (76 mm), chrome exhaust tips, which cover a dual exhaust system performance grade stainless steel that will maintain a shiny longer than stainless.
Of course, it is the characteristic hallmark of a wagon, and the V-Series Sportwagon offers with 25.4 cubic feet (720 liters) of space behind the rear seat and 58 cubic meters (1644 liters) with folded - almost doubled the available space the sedan.
Supercharged performance.
The 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 pushes the cart CTS-V Sport - the same engine found in the acclaimed V-Series sedan and coupe models. Rated at 556 horsepower (415 kW) and 551 lb.-ft. of torque (747 Nm) is the most powerful engine offered in Cadillac's history.
The engine is equipped with an intercooled Eaton vortex series Twin ™ (TVS ™) supercharger. This concept of single compressor, uses two four-lobe rotors, twisted 160 degrees. Typical compressor has three bedrooms twisted 60 degrees. The fourth lobe and added twist, when combined with the single air intake and exhaust, creating smoother, more efficient airflow into the engine. In addition to improving the overall efficiency, the compressor noise and superior vibration characteristics compared to more common designs.
A pair of six-speed transmissions are offered on the CTS-V Wagon Sport - a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual with twin-disc clutch and a Hydra-Matic 6L90 six-speed automatic with shift controls on the steering wheel. The steering wheel does not require movement of valve lever up and leave immediately / drop gear selection. Performance Algorithm Shifting allows the transmission of the car with a pattern of change based on sustained performance in high-performance driving. As with many models of Cadillac, the driver simply slide the shifter in the manual "gate" to set the mode of transmission.
The torque is channeled through the gearbox to a six-speed rear axle has a high performance limited slip differential at the rear of a cast iron housing for increased thermal management and asymmetrical half-shafts to manage them transparent incredible torque supercharged engine. The unique design includes alternating half-size trees, which also contributes to dynamically balance the fluctuations in torque from side to side, effectively eliminating the "power hop."

Magnetic Ride Control.
V-Series reaches extraordinary levels of performance bond, but also maintains the balance of the luxury car in "normal" driving. The technical facilitator of two-mode driving character is Cadillac Magnetic Ride Control history. It is standard on the CTS-V Sport Wagon, and is the technology of the world's fastest-reacting suspension. It uses shocks controlled by Advanced magneto-rheological technology, rather than mechanical valves, greatly accelerating response time and accuracy.
Electronic sensors on all four wheels literally "read the road" every millisecond, making adjustments constantly damping to create a command almost instantaneous and extremely precise movements of the body. This is particularly advantageous for a high performance car, as it helps to keep the car very composed when cornering hard acceleration, braking and other dynamic maneuvers.
Magnetic Ride dampers also allows a wider range of damping control to optimize ride and handling in all driving conditions. The CTS-V Sport Wagon is offered in several control measures, two selectable (Tour and Sport), which allows the driver to tailor the suspension for Gran Turismo or more mental performance driving.
Cadillac pioneered Magnetic Ride Control, with the first production in 2002, after decades of research on magneto-rheological science. Today, technology is only shown in a short list of the world's finest vehicles, including Cadillac V-Series models, the Escalade luxury SUV and the STS and DTS luxury sedan.
Brembo brakes and tires Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.
CTS-V Sport Wagon includes sophisticated braking and tire, in collaboration with two companies known for high-performance technology: Brembo and Michelin. Brembo brakes are at the four corners and include powerful, six-piston calipers in front and four-piston calipers in the rear.
Large ventilated discs allow a strong initial braking force while optimizing the thermal resistance and eliminate fade. The Brembo brake discs are manufactured with "dual-cast" technology that combines cast iron and aluminum, resulting in superior performance and weight loss.
CTS-V Sport Wagon is also an electronic parking brake, which allows good dead pedal position, which is important for high-performance driving.
Michelin worked with Cadillac engineers to develop an exclusive Pilot Sport PS2 tires designed specifically for the CTS-V. Rings supported by high-grip track conditions, giving excellent road performance.
Comfort, style and technique.
The interior of the CTS-V Wagon Sport is shared with the sedan, including streamlined tools, LED lighting accents and hand-cut and sewn.
CTS-V Sport Wagon model of production will come standard with performance seats with perforated suede microfibre inserts designed to keep the driver and front passenger in place during cornering. Recaro performance seats are optional and provide excellent support for the conduct lively. These 14 seats include adjustable and performance tires tighten controls in the seat cushions and folders.
Supplement the benefits of the seats are behind the wheel of thickness and gauge package is designed for easy reference at a glance the performance driving. Tion tools are in large bold type, including LED-illuminated function of "tracer" a tachometer that flashes as the engine approaches the red line. Layout indicator includes an indicator of thrust, and the display of lateral acceleration.
Obsidian black with accents of the center console, steering wheel and console door panels. The steering wheel and the lever of production are available in Alcantara, the nature of provision of luxe suede. These details are elegant to the touch and support the driver in high-performance driving. Just like every CTS, the V-Series includes a hand-stitched panel of instruments, door panels and center console.
Advanced infotainment features extend to the V-Series. Standard equipment includes an advanced navigation system with a screen deployable, Bose 5.1 digital surround sound, factory-installed Bluetooth phone integration and a 40 GB hard drive that allows the customer to keep a large library of music files. The system downloads files via USB or dash DVD / CD player and provides hidden clues that must be searched and selected by the radio controls.

Interior Design and Special Features
2011 Buick LaCrosse interior is sleek and contemporary. The front seats are surrounded by an arc extending from the edge of door to door accents, elegant, beautifully built and simulated wood contribute to the feeling decidedly higher level. At night, passengers are bathed in soft light blue lighting environment. The controls on the center console are certainly more complicated than the simple commands that are in the Buick past, but the operation of audio, air conditioning and navigation systems should be easy enough to decipher those used for most Modern cars and electronics.
Despite the generous interior, load capacity measures just 13 cubic feet, far less than rival sedans frames. The body is deep enough, but lack of height and width can be problematic for large objects.
Driving Impressions
The driver's seat 2011 Buick LaCrosse has a fun mix of luxury and commitment. The cabin remains blissfully calm the senses without the chamber of repression, because there is no wind, just enough road noise to remind you that did not sit on the couch. Taking into account all the Buick dispatch of the past, treatment of the LaCrosse is the ability to surprise. Confident in the car reacts, and is certainly more interesting to drive than the Lexus ES 350 Rear visibility, however, compromising the car high hat rack and thick roof pillars.
How powerful, 3.6-liter V6 is the obvious choice. We were separated from the four-cylinder engine, because it is extremely important that the weight of the car and have to work so much that the real world gas mileage is likely to suffer.

Ettore Bugatti built cars most fascinating of all time.
The mystique of the Bugatti was born in the first half of last century. Ettore Bugatti, and later his son, Jean-designed vehicles, which were much ahead of its time in design and technology.
Types such as T 57 SC Atlantic or the many versions of the T-41 Royale was then and still is, legends, and some of the most valuable cars ever made. But the mystery is not based solely on the cut, roadsters, convertibles and sedans, which were driven by Beau Monde in the 1920s and 1930s - it is also rooted in race victories in those decades.
The test driver Pierre Veyron, who between 1933 and 1937 ran at the wheel of a Bugatti 51A, won perhaps the best known brand. Finalist in this eight-cylinder compressor, which has developed an output of 140 horsepower from a displacement of 1.4933 and reached a speed of epoch-making advanced 210 km / h, Bugatti and his colleagues put nine international organizations speed records in the circuit outside Paris Montlhéry. And it is a tribute to this man that the first Bugatti of the modern era that bears his name.

Engines and performance
In 2011, Bentley Mulsanne is powered by a brand new, twin-turbo 6.8-liter V8 that produces 505 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters is the only transmission offered, and the channels of power to the rear wheels. In tests, Mulsanne derives its 6000 pounds by stopping at 60 km / h in just 5.7 seconds. No wonder that fuel economy is EPA-estimated 11 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 13 mpg in combined driving.
Security
Security for the Bentley Mulsanne 2011 includes front and rear side airbags for head and thorax, the stability control, traction control, disc brakes with ABS with Brake Assist and Auto Hill Hold.

Interior Design and Special Features
While the attention of all other manufacturers to detail, "Bentley Mulsanne is the cabin in 2011, with more of an" obsession with detail. "Almost the entire surface is covered with leather, the same trunk lines. Y n is not just any leather. Bentley returned to that old style that gives a soft feel and exquisite fragrance, without chemicals.
The framework is made of glass or polished stainless steel and all the knobs are in the traditional style ribs of a Bentley. Navigation and audio systems are familiar to anyone who has used the same control interface in a modern Audi. The screen is clear and easy to read, and the operation is easy, once you learn the menus.
Of course, comfort is paramount in any luxury car, the Bentley Mulsanne and excels in this area. The seats are shaped for a variety of body types and there is enough leg room and head for frequent travelers. If you need legroom - driver of a center in the NBA, for example - the front passenger seat can slide forward to accommodate everything. The boot is also spacious, with room for golf bags and big bags.
Driving Impressions
Despite an empty weight of 5.700 pounds heavy, the Bentley Mulsanne 2011 moves with the urgency of a much lighter car. Its 505 hp does not seem that impressive, but 752 pounds-feet of torque is, no doubt - especially when all that power opens up from just 1,800 rpm.
However, such power does not detract from the focus on the luxury Bentley. Unless you floor the pedal, you will not even notice the presence of an engine. The rapid acceleration is also misleading, forcing the pilot to control the speedometer. In cornering, the Mulsanne sure-footed, but certainly not agile. But the sporty handling is not the priority of this car. The Mulsanne was built to transport passengers in ultimate luxury, isolated in a silence full of bubbles leather. At this point, went very well.

Interior Design and Special Features
Even with the high expectations that come with all Bentley Continental GTC Speed is inside does not disappoint. Metal accents and leather upholstery and rich wood soft is blameless, with the charm of the old order until push-pull, a Breitling watch and the metal contacts and handles. Unfortunately, the infotainment and navigation is old world and Bentley has not changed since the 2004 Continental GTC in the introduction, and his age shows on the screen too small and non-intuitive interface. Fortunately, the iPod interface option is easier to use.
These passengers will probably be satisfied with their leather-wrapped thrones, but in the back seat is another story - there is room for two passengers short, but only if those in front are in a generous mood. Trunk capacity of 9.2 cubic feet is impressive given the GTC Speed is magnified proportions, but it is sufficient to accommodate a standard golf bag with the wood removed.
Driving Impressions
Despite the weight of the 2011 Continental GTC Speed stout and larger dimensions, is surprisingly well-mannered performance. The acceleration is allowed - as it should, with 600 horsepower on tap. The lowered ride height, suspension settings and partially adjustable rear wheels at all can lead more excited than you ever expect in a huge vehicle.
Calculate the beautiful lined with soft top, wind deflector formed by folding the rear seat, raise the windows and wonder how little noise and air to infiltrate the cab of Bentley. 75 mph, you will spoil your hair more than if the air conditioning was turned up.
Remains comfortable ride, despite suggestions to shake rough asphalt cap. The control is lightweight and does not offer any communication, that some other exotic convertible facts, but in the end, GTC Speed is what most expect it to be: sharp, sophisticated convertible bonds tour level of performance has not found a regular GTC.
