Ferrari FF

Ferrari FF

 Ferrari.com, has revealed the first photographs of the new Ferrari FF, the company's most powerful, versatile four-seater ever, as well as its first ever four-wheel drive car.
The FF - an acronym for Ferrari Four (four seats and four-wheel drive) - ushers in an entirely new GT sports car concept. A decisive break with the past, the new car represents not so much an evolution as a true revolution.
This new V12 melds to an unprecedented level an extremely sporty, high-performance character with incredible versatility, superb comfort and sophisticated elegance, guaranteeing both driver and passengers an absolutely unique driving experience.
Designed by Pininfarina, the shape and proportions perfectly interpret the Ferrari FF's harmonious blend of sporting DNA and extraordinary usability.
The FF features the company's first ever four-wheel drive system. Ferrari's exclusive, patented 4RM (four-wheel drive) weighs 50 per cent less than a conventional four-wheel drive system, maintaining perfect weight distribution (53 per cent over the rear axle). Completely integrated with the car's electronic dynamic control systems, the four-wheel drive technology delivers record levels of performance on all terrains and in all conditions via continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution to all four wheels. The Ferrari FF is also equipped with the latest magnetorheological damping system (SCM3), as well as the most recent development in carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo.


Exceptional performance levels come courtesy of the new 6,262 cc direct injection engine which develops 660 CV at 8,000 rpm. In tandem with its transaxle dual-clutch F1 gearbox, stunning acceleration figures (0-100 km/h in 3.7 sec.) are guaranteed. The new model's class-leading weight-to-power ratio of 2.7 kg/CV, along with its ideal weight distribution, ensures exceptionally responsive handling. The result is that owners will be able to enjoy the FF's prowess over a wide range of uses: city driving, on low grip or snow-covered surfaces and on the track. Performance aside, Maranello's latest model also offers standards of passenger space, comfort, in-car spec and equipment previously unheard of in such a high-performance car. It can comfortably accommodate four people and their luggage, thanks to the best cabin space and boot capacity (450 litres extendable to 800) figures in its category, including four-door cars.
A vast array of personalisation options and accessories has been developed for the Ferrari FF. These include six model-specific exterior colours and sumptuous interior trim incorporating specially selected and treated aniline leather.
The Ferrari FF, which will make its official debut in occasion of the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, is presented with the first three photos from a dedicated shoot by Giovanni Gastel

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides


Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides



Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is an upcoming 2011 3D fantasy action-adventure film. It is the fourth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and stars Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, Geoffrey Rush, Kevin McNally, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Sam Claflin, Stephen Graham, Gemma Ward and Richard Griffiths. The film was first announced in September 2008, and principal photography started in June 2010. Unlike the previous films, which were shot primarily on location in the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides had most of its production in Hawaii.


Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) crosses paths with a woman from his past (Cruz), and he's not sure if it's love -- or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.

Marussia Motors-MARUSSIA B2


MARUSSIA CARS


Marussia Motors is a Russian sports car manufacturer. Their cars are notable for being the first sports cars to be made in Russia.As well as the state-of-the-art sports cars of Russian manufacture - Marussia - embodying ideas of racing sports in production vehicles for public roads.
Marussia Motors is the first Russian company, which has started a series production of premium class sports cars. It is the first Russian company challenged the best foreign vehicles. Besides, it is the first Russian automobile company, which has become Formula One official partner.

Marussia vehicles are innovation and technologies, love to each detail and perfection in material selection. Therefore, it is not surprising that each Marussia sports car personifies a unification of power, dynamics and flash design.

MARUSSIA B2

It is hard to imagine a more emotional and futuristic GT-class coupe, than the Marussia В2. Its expressive and challenging nature could be seen at first sight. Only having sat behind the wheel of this vehicle you will be able to estimate and experience the potential and the power of its performance characteristics in full.

 The powerhouse of the thoroughbred racing potential of the aggressive Marussia В2 is the unique Marussia-Cosworth 2,8 litres and 420 h.p. engine. It is also a source of true comfort while driving along the public roads.

 Every detail and each shape bending of the coupe are just the muscles, and everyone of them works for speed and power. Therefore, you will not find any iota of the Marussia В2 excess weight; and when horsepower into kilograms converted, its power becomes really a cosmic one.

 The dynamics and power of the Marussia В2 inspires respect, and the futuristic and flash design draws a sight by the singularity. One can hardly find any other coupe capable to brag of a menacing letter "M" in the silhouette.

Design


Joint venture

The GT by Citroën concept car was specially created, designed and produced for the upcoming video game Gran Turismo 5 and was included through download in its latest version Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. Its designer came up with the project and sold it to both Polyphony Digital and Citroën.


Citroën

The car's exterior design was made by Takumi Yamamoto, a Japanese designer from Jean-Pierre Ploué's Style Citroën design team. Takumi Yamamoto was a childhood friend of Kazunori Yamauchi, director of Polyphony Digital and creator of the popular Gran Turismofranchise, also known as "Gegge". According to a Yamauchi interview at the Paris Motor Show 2008, he and Yamamoto started collaborating on this project back in 2003. A press release published on the North American Gran Turismo official website describes the Citroën and Polyphony Digital collaboration as a « a joint effort first talked about at the Geneva Motor Show past March[2008].Yamamoto convinced Jean-Pierre Ploué to submit his concept to Citroën's head office in Paris who agreed to start the production process and manufacture the real car. The concept car's rear was carefully designed to fit what the gamers will actually see in the game since it is the more powerful featured vehicle, argues Yamamoto

Production

In June 2009, Citroën confirmed plans to produce a limited number of GTs for sale to the public. Only six will be built, each costing $1.8 million. In July 2010, rumours that production was suspended began to surface
