„Kristen added that the car is basically the same in all the areas you can't see, and completely new in what you CAN see. When asked about plans to move up to LMP1, Kristen mentioned that the whole idea behind Porsche's success in racing is that the cars are accessible to customers. In some cases the race versions are even built alongside the street cars. And with that in mind, P1 would be too much of a jump for most customers so Porsche will hold off for the foreseeable future.“

Ferrari Challenge Stradale - RSportsCars.com (#)

„The starting point was aerodynamics, where the aim was to obtain increased vertical load, or downforce (which gives more speed when cornering rather than a higher top speed), and followed by then all the vehicle-specific features (transmission, set-up and braking, in particular the introduction of carbon-ceramic brakes as standard). And finally, that determining factor for all racing cars - achieving the lowest possible weight.“

CARS - The Movie Review - AutoWeek (#)

„But as with any well-crafted tale that emphasizes the journey over the destination, the magic of Cars is more than just 110 minutes of spectacular computer-generated graphics. Pixar’s latest feature film puts cars in the driver’s seat to tell a story about racing, hard work, winning, losing and love. Mostly, Cars is a story about reconnecting with what’s important in life.“

Ferrari F430 Spider - RSportsCars.com (#)

„Just like the berlinetta, the new Spider incorporates two elliptical air intakes that feed the front radiators. The shape of the intakes is inspired by Ferrari’s racing cars from the 1961 season, especially the 156 F1 which Phil Hill drove to that year’s F1 Championship title. The spoiler that joins the two intakes at their bottom edge is highly effective in directing the central air flow towards the flat underbody.“

„"He’s got a lot of experience and has proven himself over the years. What’s even better is that we’ll still have Dan Olson’s expertise to tap into [Olson will be a co-crew chief for all of Schumacher Racing’s cars]. That will be real helpful to us. I’m eagerly awaiting next year." The K&N Filters Winternationals, the traditional season opener, is scheduled for Feb.“

Paris Motor Show World Premiere: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione - Autoblog (#)

„All the pillar and glass surfaces and profiles together with the door mirror shape and position have been optimised by mathematical modelling and also by wind tunnel tests and tests on actual models. Much attention has been devoted to the creation of a ground effect that has allowed a negative Cz (lift coefficient) to help increase stability at high speed, as on racing cars.“
