Jaguar F-Type

Jaguar F-Type

Jaguar is a prestigious British brand with a distinguished history. It was founded in 1935, when the Coventry-based SS Cars produced the first car called the Jaguar, which bore the official designation SS 2 1/2 Liter.

The zenith of the glory of the Jaguar brand came in the 50s and 60s. And first of all - to sports cars, including the legendary Jaguar E-Type. But over the years, expensive cars from Coventry began to be associated with luxury and comfort, and the former sporting spirit began to sink into oblivion. Over the past 20 years, the British have tried to regain their lost ground, but all these attempts have looked unconvincing.

Detroit was presented with a really strong trump card - the experienced Jaguar F-Type roadster.

The concept roadster's silk coverlet was removed by Chief Designer Ian Callum and Project Chief Designer Keith Helfet. The eyes of two thousand journalists were presented with a silver roadster, which is not similar to any of the current models, but is very reminiscent of the very Jaguar E-Type. Convex wheel arches, massive longitudinal stamping on the hood, elongated teardrop-shaped headlights under a common cap, an oval radiator grille, a noticeably upturned tailgate with round lights - everything is like the Jaguar E-Type model. True, for the sake of modern fashion, the F-Type has shorter front and rear overhangs, and of the chrome decorative elements that were so popular in the 60s, only the exhaust pipes remained.

The F-Type is the smallest Jaguar in the last 40 years: car length - 4115 mm, width - 1792 mm, height - 1090 mm, wheelbase - 2400 mm.

As on the E-Type, the front part of the body (fenders, hood, bumper, radiator grill) is a single structure that folds forward.

The engine compartment is ready to accept the 240 hp AJ-V6 engine. with. from the S-Type sedan and even a 300-horsepower V8 engine from the XJ8 model. Transmission - mechanical or automatic.

The roadster has no roof - not even a soft convertible top. But this is for now.

Lunaviney’s search for automotive heaven. Review 1: Subaru Outback 2004

This mighty boxer engined Subaru Outback was once a proud and mighty japanese beast of the road, no matter the surface. Now it feels weak and broken. All though the 2.5 flat 4 still has some nice pep, the rest of the car seem to have lived a life of abuse. Which certainly isn’t unheard of when its a Subaru of any kind. Its done 38000 presumably very hard kilometers (Or 234000 miles).

But in the spirit of strucuality lets start with the cosmetics. This particular example looks pretty fresh. Its not overly rusted but, its a Subaru, theres no nice way of putting how ugly it is. The headlights are both look annoyed and bulgy giving it this really derpy angry face. Coupled with the aggressive engine note the Subaru Outback comes across as a very angry car. A feeling that keeps going once you’re inside the unbelievably hard seats. The steering wheel tries to feel sporty with pistol grippy race look and the just look of the materials. No such thing as comfortable plastic wood in there. The quality of the interior feels solid enough for what its supposed to be but it also feels very unexciting and boring. The infotainment unit on this car was also knackered, the screen was flickering badly and the Menu and Nav buttons turned it off completely. The stereo was good enough to produce a pleasant background noise atleast.

But its  Subaru so the reason why you’d ever buy one is the drivey bits and they are as expected bloody fantastic. The flat 4, 2.5l engine feels annoyed about its general existence. It wants to punch something and you’re its companion for its noble quest of violence. Though its punchyness was slightly spoiled in this car due to someone mating the angry engine to a lazy and bored 4 speed automatic. It felt rather slow and harsh with its gear changes. Quite possible just because I’m so used to my Buicks TH400s perfect smoothness. The good old Subaru AWD is as always great. Especially for the roads in my local area. Too bad the entire car gets spoiled by the automatic gearbox really.

The Alpine A110 also known as the "Berlinette" was a sports car produced by the French manufacturer Alpine

Alpine is a small car company founded in 1954 by racer Jean Redel from his own garage in the city of Dieppe, located on the northern coast of France. Produced sports and racing cars with a rear-mounted engine and lightweight plastic body. This concept turned out to be successful and has not changed over the 40 years of the brand's history. From the beginning, Alpine worked with Renault, using its mechanical components to build its vehicles, and in 1974 it became part of Renault. The most famous model, the Alpine A110, became famous for its rally victories in the early 70s.

The A110 has become the trademark of the Alpine brand all over the world.

"One hundred and tenth" was a further development of the A108 with a berlinette body (berlinette - a coupe with a smoothly sloping roof line). The A108 appeared as a prototype at the Tour de France in September 1960, and a few days later appeared before visitors to the Paris Motor Show as a 1961 model year.

Two years later, it was the Alpine A110's turn in Paris. The car received a memorable complete and harmonious appearance, which was the result of the collaboration between the venerable stylist Michelotti and the young graduate of the industrial design college Serge Zuliani.

Engines and some other components for the Alpine A110 were supplied by the Renault plant, which was subsequently reflected in the double “surname” of the cars produced. The number 110 in the model designation in this case has nothing to do with the numbering of Renault serial production.

The Alpine A110 used a power unit from a Renault 8 Series 800. It is a 956 cc engine developing from 51 to 55 hp. Depending on the modification, it was installed on cars with different bodies. Initially, in addition to the Berlinetta, it was a coupe and a convertible (they are, in fact, the A108 of the second series with new engines), as well as the new 2 + 2 GT4 A110 coupe. All "one hundred and tenths" were equipped with disc brakes (all wheels) from Renault 8 and a four-speed gearbox as standard. The model range of the company was gradually formed.

Over the years, the body has undergone minor changes, mainly related to the interior details. The most notable modification took place in 1967, when two more headlamps were added to the two headlights, installing them between the main ones just above the front bumper.

Outdated and not very popular cars gave way to modifications of the Alpine A110, differing from each other in engines, transmission options and additional equipment. So, for example, over the entire production period of the A110, the engine "grew" from 956 to 1647 cc, adding up to 140 hp in power.

The design of the chassis remained unchanged for a long time - only in 1974 the rear suspension, traditional for all Alpine, gave way to a suspension on the wishbones (model A310). The Alpine A110 is by far the most commercially and structurally successful car of the firm.

Porsche 911 Edition 50Y Porsche Design '2022

Porsche AG congratulates Porsche Design on its golden jubilee. Two very special cars are the highlights of the anniversary year: the exclusive Porsche 911 Edition 50Y Porsche Design and a historical 911 S 2.4 Targa from Porsche Design's founding year of 1972, which has been faithfully restored by Porsche Classic. What unites them is the colour scheme, which, in recalling the legendary Chronograph I designed by Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche in 1972, sees both the exterior and the interior dominated by the colour black. Alongside them, Porsche Design is also presenting the Chronograph 1 - 1972 Limited Edition.

"When you rethink the function of something, the form sometimes emerges as if by itself" - this was how F.A. Porsche described what still drives the engineers and designers at Porsche Design today. In 1972, he founded Porsche Design with his brother Hans-Peter. The designer of the Porsche 911 envisaged a company that would carry the principles and spirit of Porsche beyond the boundaries of the automobile. Porsche Design has long since become an internationally renowned premium lifestyle brand, known for functional and durable products with a purist aesthetic.

Exclusive special edition: a modern take on a design classic.

The 911 Edition 50Y Porsche Design is a limited run of 750 cars with numerous features inspired by the iconic designs of F.A. Porsche.
