GM Pulls Plug on GTO

General Motors has announced that the automaker will no longer be producing and importing the Australian built Pontiac GTO to the US market opting to discontinue production altogether.

Derived from the discontinued Holden Morano, the GTO hearkened back to GM's muscle car era with its 400 h.p. V8. Still, the car was a disappointment to some as they complained about its bland styling. GM cited the Morano's earlier termination and the GTO's lackluster sales as reasons for killing the model. Instead, the automaker is expected to soon announce the return of the popular Chevrolet Camaro as well as its Pontiac sibling, the Firebird.

Toyota and Simple Slim

Toyota is incorporating an important engineering method in its quest to cut costs. The Camry, Toyota's most popular vehicle and the number one selling car model in America, uses "simple slim" to reduce engine costs.

According to company news reports, Simple Slim is...

"...a new technology for pouring molten aluminum into moulds to create engine parts. The new equipment, part of a larger Toyota cost-cutting program called Simple Slim, allows Toyota to use smaller and cheaper moulds."

So, what does this all translate to? Big cost savings up to 50% on Toyota Camry engines. Instead of an engine costing $2000 to build, it now costs the company $1000. This same engine is also available in various other Toyota and Lexus models.

A Scion Fighter For Dodge?

Dodge's newest and smallest model is the Caliper, its replacement for the compact Neon. As the current entry level car in the Dodge line up, the Caliper is actually too big and too expensive for many new car owners. With that in mind, Dodge is toying with building a Scion-like vehicle, the Hornet to compete effectively against Toyota's Generation "Y" vehicle as well as against the Honda Fit.

Dodge will be showing the Hornet at the upcoming Geneva Car Show in March. The car to be displayed is a full two feet shorter than the Caliper. According to a published report in Newsday, Dodge is looking for an offshore partner to build the vehicle for them.

Ferrari SA Aperta – the most exclusive Ferrari

The SA Aperta qualifies as the most powerful and fastest open Ferrari V12 ever offered. Ferrari decided to build 80 SA Apertas in celebration of Pininfarina's 80th anniversary, the company that has produced some of the world's most exclusive and memorable road-going Ferraris since the 1950s. The car's nomenclature, "SA" pays homage to both Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina , wherese "Aperta" means "open" in Italian.

The SA Aperta is designed as a true roadster and it is not engineered with a full convertible roof in order to preserve its pure roadster outline. Its chassis and powertrain have been planned to achieve the performance expected from such an elite automobile. A chassis structure specially designed for the SA Aperta donates it with stiffness comparable to that of a closed coupe. Ferrari's expertise in transferring racing technology to road cars has headed to in minimal weight addition for the SA Aperta compared to the 599 GTB Fiorano.

Thanks to the 670 hp engine, the SA Aperta beautifully represents the sporty spirit of the 599 GTB, and at the same time, it incorporates Ferrari's most advanced technology to deliver absolutely benchmark performance and superb driving pleasure. Its interior is stylishly sporty with sophisticated materials, trim and colors. The practically endless combinations available assure that each and every SA APERTA is absolutely unique.

The 599-based roadster features the 6.0-litre V12 from the 599 GTO with 661bhp, 457lb ft of torque and performs a 62 mph in a scarcely believable 3.6 seconds.
The majority of the car's body panels come from the 599 GTB Fiorano, although the rocker panels have been altered to accommodate larger brake cooling ducts. The SA Aperta differs from its 599 siblings above the fenders, where designers redesigned the car's pillars, windshield and cabin. The rear interior wall and integrated roll bar gracefully flow into the elongated rear buttresses, while simultaneously echoing shape and color of the sports seats.

There are five color configurations available at the Ferrari website for the SA Aperta: nero stellato, blu elettrico, giallo tristrato, rosso fuoco, rosso Dino. The Nero stellato configuration features chrome rims, rosso corsa brake calipers, sabbia interiors with black straight stretch, ecru' stitching, black passenger zone. Blue elettrico features chrome shadow rims, argento alluminio brake calipers, black interiors with straight stretch, blue central part of the seats & white stitching, blue passenger zone dashboard. Giallo tristrato configuration has black brake calipers, black with yellow interior leather, white stitching, carbon fiber passenger zone dashboard. Rosso Corsa outline includes black brake calipers, black with red straight stretch interior leather, white stitching, argento Nurburgring passenger zone. Lastly, Rosso Dino offers argento alluminio brake calipers, black interior with orange straight stretch, central part of the seat and central panel, black passenger zone.

It absolutely is a brake line and runs to either a proportionary valve ir to a spliter junction
