F1赛车是世界上最昂贵、速度最快、科技含量最高的运动。包含了以空气动力学为主，加上无线电通讯、电气工程等世界上最先进的技术。很多新的科技都是在 F1上得以最初的实践的。F1大赛每年都要选择地理条件迥然不同的赛场进行比赛。他们有的现在高原上，那里空气稀薄，用以考验车手的身体素质；有的则是街道组成的赛道，那里路面相对狭窄曲折，车手操作不当就会撞车；有的赛车场就显得路面宽阔，但也有上下坡考验车手的技术；还有的赛车场建在树木葱郁的森林中，那里跑道起伏大，车手很难控制赛车。
F1 racing is the world's most expensive, fastest, highest scientific and technological content of the campaign. Contains mainly to the aerodynamics, and radio communications, electrical engineering, and so the world's most advanced technology. Many new technologies are in F1 to be on the first practice. F1 Championship every year choose geographical conditions very different from the stadium the game. Some of them now on the plateau, where thin air, the test driver for the physical fitness; Some streets are composed of the track, where a relatively narrow road twists and turns, drivers will be improper operation of the crash; some of the car market is on the road Wide, but also on the downhill test driver technologies; have built the car market in the lush trees in the forest, where the runway ups and downs, difficult to control the car driver.
I And F1 The Recent Contacts 我和F1最近的接触
I First...我的第一次...
第一次参观车展,五光四射,美女如云,花多眼乱!虽然这次的郊游很累也是我一生中最开心的一天......!这次车展让我认识到美女车模是汽车不可缺少的一部分，没有美女车模的展示，可能有些客户还下不了买车的决心，还给车展吸引了很多的看客，何乐不为？车模精彩的汽车展示能给汽车锦上添花，车模差劲的展示能给汽车抹一把黑。
看车展现场就能知道，和我一样的人还有很多，怀着对车的向往，憧憬着未来的幸福生活。等到以后的以后吧，我也会拥有一辆自己的车，不需要很豪华，自己喜欢就好。
The first visit to show, five-full, beauty like clouds, spend more eye chaos! Although this outing tired of my life is the happiest day of the show ......! I realize that beauty Cars are an indispensable part of vehicle, not the display of beauty Cars, some customers may not buy a car under the determination, Cars wonderful car auto show will give the icing on the cake.
Auto Show will be able to look at the scene know, and I like the people there are many, with the aspiration of the car, looking forward to the future of a happy life. Wait until after the next bar, I will have one of their cars, do not need very luxurious, just like their own.
2008 New York Auto Show
"Furai," simply translated, means "sound of the wind" and is the fifth iteration or evolution of Mazda's new design language exemplified in its initial Nagare concept, which you may recall meant "flow." Far from just a piece of artwork on wheels, this working concept actually began life as one of Mazda's 2006 season ALMS P2 race cars.
Built on a Courage C65 chassis and powered by a 450-bhp 3-rotor rotary engine, this ethanol (E100)-powered concept car is an exercise in reverse homologation: It represents an ideal within the Mazda philosophy, and that is to bridge the gap between single-purpose race cars (ALMS) and street-legal models (Ferrari Enzo, Lotus Elise), according to Mazda's Director of Design, Franz von Holzhausen.
The complex outer shell of the Furai clearly follows its predecessor's design trends, but through the guidance and expertise of Swift Engineering also functions aerodynamically. Front-fascia channels direct air to the brake ducts as strategically placed louvers on top of the front wheel fenders aid heat evacuation and help suck the front end closer to the ground. Its sculpted flanks create turbulence which draws air to the side ducts that help keep the engine cool in conjunction with the radiators mounted in the car's sidepods. Aft of the gullwing doors, flow-directing details continue to guide air over the car's rear haunches toward a large, functioning, adjustable-element spoiler. The sharp element you see protruding from the roof is called an Air Fang, and was designed by the guys at Swift to optimize ram air induction. The air split by the Air Fang creates vo
rtices which force air down into the intake.

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

Presented to the public at the 2008 Geneva auto show for the very first time is the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. Somewhere in the gray area between a "face-lift" and an "all-new car," the LP560-4 replaces the current Gallardo when it goes on sale this spring. (At that time, the Gallardo Superleggera will be discontinued, although the Gallardo Spyder will continue in its current form.)
The new car's name follows Lamborghini tradition and is in a similar format to that of its big brother, the Murcielago LP640. LP stands for Longitudinale Posteriore, the position of the engine - longitudinally mid-mounted. 560 is its metric horsepower count, and Lamborghini chose to insert the "-4" as a reminder that the Gallardo is a full-time four-wheel-drive machine.
Our reaction, of course, is to assume that there will be a "LP560-2" rear-wheel-drive model in the future. No matter how hard we tried, however, we couldn't get anyone from Lamborghini (not even engineers) to admit to that plan. Next time we'll try tickle torture.
Meanwhile, the LP560-4's layout is no different from the previous Gallardo's, although the differentials and the axles are revised for weight savings. As before, transmission choices are a six-speed manual or a six-speed E-gear automated manual. The 2009 E-gear is new, and it changes gears by way of a rotational selector instead of a fore/aft movement. This, according to Lamborghini, promises smoother gearchanges that take place 40% more quickly.
The 2009 edition of E-gear also has a new, more aggressive "Corsa" program and a "Thrust Mode" - otherwise known as Launch Control. In Thrust Mode, the computer takes over , optimizing the launch and shifting so that even your grandmother could achieve a 3.7-second run to 62 mph. (This is 0.3 second quicker than last year's car.) The LP560-4 goes on to beat the 2008 Gallardo by a half second to 200 km/h (124 mph), hitting that mark in only 11.8 seconds. And flat out, the LP560-4 will reach 202 mph (up from a measly195 mph).
The oomph responsible for making the Gallardo a true 200-mph supercar comes from a completely new engine - it's a 90-degree, aluminum V-10, just like the old unit, but with bigger bore spacing. It displaces 5.2 liters and, with the help of FSI direct injection, produces 560 metric hp at 8000 rpm - up from 520 in the 2008 model. Torque is also up, from 376 lb-ft at 4250 rpm to 398 lb-ft at 6500 rpm, but don't let the elevated peak rpm fool you - the new engine has more low-end torque than the old one. FSI allows a much higher compression ratio, at 12.5:1 instead of 11.0:1, and the new engine makes more grunt everywhere in the engine's operating range.
Lamborghini is also proud of the LP560-4's improved environmental friendliness. It's not only faster than last year's car, it emits about 18% less carbon dioxide (327 g/km compared with 400). With that improvement comes a similar reduction in fuel consumption: on the European combined cycle, the LP560-4 achieves just over 17 mpg - last year's car guzzled fuel at a rate of 14 mpg.
At 3300 pounds, the LP560-4 weighs 20 kilograms (about 45 pounds) less than the 2008 Gallardo's, despite the new car's larger engine. The difference is mostly due to weight-reduction strategies in the driveline, as the LP560's body is similar to the 2008 Gallardo. The wheelbase is unchanged, as are width and height, but thanks to new front and rear fascias, the length has been increased by almost two inches.
The new front bumper now comes to a point in the center of the car, resembling the front-end treatment of the Gallardo's big brothers, the Murcielago and the Reventon. Larger air intakes improve engine-cooling efficiency, and a new hood helps the LP560-4 meet pedestrian-crash-test standards. New headlight units are much shorter front-to-rear and incorporate Y-shaped daytime running lights into their housings.
The 2009 Gallardo LP560-4 also has a new rear end. Its new taillights (each with triple Y-shaped flux-capacitor-looking elements) no longer wrap up and onto the horizontal plane in the rear. A single strip of black aluminum mesh under the taillights serves as an air outlet, and four absolutely gorgeous chrome exhaust tips are incorporated in the rear diffuser.
Although the rear looks a little plain in photographs, it - and in fact, the whole new car - is stunning in person. From the rear, the LP560-4 looks wider and lower. When viewed side-by-side with the old car, the outgoing Gallardo starts to show its first wrinkles. After six years of production, it's still a modern design - but the LP560-4 is even more so.
The LP560's suspension is completely revised. Similar to the 2008 model in design, the multilink front suspension features new mounts that allow easier adjustments. The rear suspension features an additional toe link as well as all-new mounts. Engineers told us that the suspension changes result in a drastic reduction in NVH, along with markedly improved ride quality and better handling.
Wheels are 8.5x19 front and 11x19 rear - and all three available wheel choices are new: The Apollo wheel is a silver, double-five-spoke design; Cordelia is a polished, forged aluminum with a basket-weave pattern; Callisto is a new glossy black with five split spokes. The black Callisto wheels look particularly stunning when mounted on a car with Lamborghini's new, optional matte-black paint.
Inside, the 2009 Gallardo features new gauges with a font similar to that used in the Murcielago. The seven switches on the center console have been redesigned for better usability, and they're now textured to appear like knurled aluminum.
Lamborghini has not yet released official pricing for the new Gallardo. However, we were lucky enough to be in the factory to help build the very first production 2009 Gallardo LP560-4. Be sure to check out the May 2008 issue of Automobile to read the feature story!
2008 Tokyo Auto Salon之 Nismo
Super GT Nismo Z將除役
新戰神GT-R重出江湖
今年似乎是Nismo宣示戰力的一年，參展車輛除了S-tune Proto與Type 380RS外，其餘三輛車皆為參賽車輛。市售版的Fairlady Z Version Nismo Type 380RS其實去年就看到過，不過筆者比較注意的是它的價格已經降到539萬日圓，比起去年的「天價」已經是非常好入手的時刻，而且這輛Type 380RS標榜著「不用改就可以馬上下場比賽」，以賽車而言算是相當划算的選擇。而Nismo展示的另外兩輛Z，第一輛是參加去年度超級耐久賽、並在七戰中拿下五站優勝的Endless Advan Z，第二輛則為去年度Super GT 500拿下其中三站獎盃的Xanavi Nismo Z，這兩輛車在去年讓Nismo相當風光。 不過緊接著在今年，Nismo的主力車種將會放在全新的R35 GT-R上，儘管現場並未公布關於此車的性能諸元，但是從數個月前Nismo就在鈴鹿賽道上緊鑼密鼓的測試此車，相信不久後最強的Super GT500 GT-R即將出現。 
不知道該說各車廠進步還是說Xanavi Nismo Z已經到達瓶頸，從蟬聯三年Super GT 500到今年只拿下富士站冠軍及鈴鹿、鈴鹿1000站二、三名，也許今年換上GT-R之候成績會進步許多。 
此輛Endless Advan Z為去年超級耐久賽參賽車輛，它是以Type 380RS為基礎再進行強化改造，動力上漲50hp達到400hp之譜，優異的體質讓這輛車在七站比賽中拿下仙台、鈴鹿、十勝、岡山、SUGO等五站冠軍，證明了此車超強實力。
