| Indy to go turbo by 2011 | | 2008-08-26 16:38:00 | | Officials have confirmed that the newly reunified IndyCar series is contemplating a move to turbocharged engines by 2011. The move could entice more automakers – aside from Honda, which is the only engine manufacturer currently participating in the series – to join on as well. In a meeting held this past June, IRL officials spoke with a dozen automakers about joining the series, and several sounded enthusiastic at the prospect of switching from the current naturally-aspirated V8s to smaller turbocharged engines. The new formula would call for either four or six cylinders and either one or two spools, producing as much as 750 horsepower instead of the current 650. Officials expect three or four manufacturers to sign on to the new formula, which could be announced as early as December to give the manufacturers enough time to develop the new engines.Turbochargers had been common in American open-wheel racing, but after the IRL and Champ Cars split, the former switched to non-boosted V | | By: Car News | | |
| | Enter the Rumormill: 2012 C7 Corvette ZR1 with twin-turbo V6 | | 2008-08-21 14:16:00 | | While the world watches in awe as the Corvette ZR1 wretches the performance crown from its competitors, some people are already concerning themselves with its successor. How could GM possibly improve on its best 'Vette yet? Popular Mechanics speculated on what the 2012 Corvette could have in store, and some of the answers they've dug up are a bit surprising. Dual clutch gearboxes? Nope. Mid-engine? Nope. How about losing a few cylinders? Heresy! Before all of the V8 loyalists get their panties in a bunch, remember that you can do a lot with a twin-turbo six. While the Nissan GT-R is the latest example of huge pressure-induced horsepower from a six, the Jaguar XJ220 and past Noble efforts have proven the engine configuration more than adequate. While we don't have any problem with the idea of a high-boost 3.6-liter direct-injection sixer, we know that there's still plenty of room for a range-topping V8 engine and we feel confident that America's preeminent sportscar will soldier on with | | By: Car News | | |

| | Alpina reveals new D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe | | 2008-08-06 05:38:00 | | For ALPINA, simply substituting a larger engine for added performance is considered alien. Instead, the German automaker prefers to "maximize the sporting potential of existing units." With that in mind, ALPINA has tweaked the twin-turbo diesel powerplant from the BMW 123d and dropped it under the hood of the BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe. With a new output of 214 hp, and 330 lb.-ft. of torque, the coupe will hit 62 mph in 6.9 seconds as it accelerates towards its top speed of 152 mph. Best of all, and the modus operandi behind the eco-friendly sports car, the ALPINA D3 squeezes out a combined EU fuel economy rating of 52.3 mpg with a stick shift (50.4 mpg with an automatic). Before you go running down to your neighborhood BMW dealer, we'll remind you that the ALPINA D3 will only be sold overseas with a base price starting at £32,950 (about $64,500)PRESS RELEASEThe new BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo CoupeThe factor with which the new D3 Coupe is best compared to its rivals is its Power-To-Weig | | By: Car News | | |

| | BMW M Lineup to Use Turbo Engines? | | 2008-07-30 00:10:00 | | BMW's famed M performance division, known for its track-ready, naturally aspirated roadcars, may have to succumb to recent trends of smaller engine usage and will introduce lighter, more efficient powertrains in the coming years.But what of the screaming, high-horsepower applications we've come to know from the powerhouse at Munich? M lovers need not worry. According to U.K. publication Evo, BMW's M is considering the use of its next generation turbocharged engines on its entire lineup of performance cars.First expected to receive a boosted power supply in 2011 is BMW's flagship sedan, the mighty M5.With 500 horses on tap from the current 5.0-liter V-10, the E60 M5 posts some respectable grocery-getter numbers: 0 to 60 mph takes a scant 4.6 seconds and achieving a limited top speed of 155 mph is no problem at all.With pressure coming from the powers that be to make BMW's lineup increasingly fuel efficient as part of its Efficiency Dynamics program, M's choice to go turbo is quite logic | | By: Autos Space | | |

The Hamann engineers set to work on the 3.6-liter Biturbo engine with a new stainless steel exhaust system with metal catalytic converters, sports air strainer and new motor managementm but the cream of the crop is the two larger variable nozzle turbochargers(VNC). Hamann have thrown the book at the aerodynamic aspects of the vehicle for the ultimate performance in which the roofline has been been expensively lowered with the pillars and windows reduced by up to 8cm. Additional road grip is further enhanced with the road hugging body kit featuring the unmissable huge rear wing and 20inch three-part aluminium wheels.The performance upgrades result in an impressive 0-60mph time of 3.3seconds knocking sixth tenths | | By: Car Tuning Styling | | |

| | Rumormill: Ferrari looking at turbo'd V6 to save fuel | | 2008-07-07 13:44:00 | | Dino fans rejoice, the rumormill is churning out plenty of grist about a V6 power unit in the offing for some future Ferraris. The California is already getting a V8, so Prancing Horse fans wishing for a "Dino II" will remain unfulfilled, but new approaches to high performance are key to keeping Ferrari at the zenith of autodom, lest it fall down the nostalgia hole that's seen Jaguar nearly suffocate on its own pillowy upholstery. The case for a V6 would be partly the banal issues of emissions and consumption, and a six might also offer weight and packaging advantages, though the rumors of a turbocharged mill add plumbing, weight, and complexity back into the mix. Additionally, anyone who's ever given the boot to a turbocharged engine can attest that forced induction's ability to make small engines flex big muscles, it can also lead to big-league fuel swilling, poking holes in the idea that a turbo V6 might save a lot of fuel over the direct-injected V8.

| | Spy Shots: Twin-turbo V8 BMW X5 | | 2008-06-27 06:21:00 | | BMW has continued to deny the existence of an M-version of the BMW X5, and by all accounts, it's true. The blokes from Bavaria maintain that the 'ute's size, weight, height and packaging won't warrant the tri-tones of the vaunted M. But the doesn't mean BMW can't produce a hotter version of its biggie-sized SUV.Using the same 407 hp, 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 found in the recently released X6, BMW is taking aim at the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. KGP was able to snap off a handful of shots of the turbo'd X5 running the 'Ring, and despite the lack of a factory-approved M on the hatch, it's looking decidedly more aggressive than its siblings. The front fascia is taking all the normal cues from BMW's motorsports department, with massive air intakes and a gaping central air dam, while a set of quad exhausts are framed within a new rear bumper. There's no word on when the hotter X5 will debut, but with the Paris Motor Show right around the corner, BMW surely has a few things up its sleeves. | | By: Autoshows | | |
| | Spy Shots: Porsche 911 Turbo due for upgrades, intent on beating GT-R | | 2008-06-26 08:02:00 | | With Porsche releasing its revisions to the 997 911 Carrera, Carrera S and its all-wheel-drive stablemates, the automaker is turning its attention to its turbocharged 911 and is intent to regain its crown from the Nissan GT-R.
The new 911 Turbo is expected to get a boost in output by 20 hp to net over 490 hp total, along with a similar bump in torque through the use of the new direct injection system that's been implemented on the revised 997s. Not only will power increase, but fuel efficiency should grow by almost 13 percent, with a 14.5 percent reduction in CO2 emissions. The twin-turbo'd flat-six is also expected to get a slight increase in displacement, along with a new crankshaft and upgraded oil and water pump to ensure that things stay cool while thrashing the 'Ring. Expect a modified version of the new, seven-speed Doppel Kupplung (dual-clutch) gearbox to make an appearance on the new 911 Turbo, with tweaks to handle the prodigious torque of the blown mill.

| | 2008 HPA Audi TT FT565 Twin Turbo: An Exotic Shade of Orange | | 2008-06-09 00:46:00 | | "Psssst... Hey buddy, wanna buy a Rolex?" If shady characters in dark alleys could fit HPA's 2008 Audi TT FT565 Twin Turbo Audi TT inside their shabby overcoats, they very likely would. The reason for this is due to the fact that the new ultra performing HPA TT represents an "almost too good to be true" value in the world of modern performance supercars. Weighing in at about $125,000 of your hard earned cash pile, it offers a very capable and interesting alternative to a pure exotic such as the Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe, costing about $205,000.You have likely already seen this particular highly modified, neon orange TT featured online and briefly in some of North America's major printed automotive magazines. It is, of course, HPA Motorsports' latest and greatest machine in their storied 18 year history of fabulously fast and famous custom vehicles.

| | Opel adds new turbo CNG unit | | 2008-05-20 07:04:00 | | Russelsheim - In 2009, Opel will introduce one new 1.6-liter turbo CNG engine (Compressed Natural Gas) with around 110 kW/150 hp and 210 Nm of torque. Developed by GM Powertrain in Turin, the new unit joins Opel’s current aspirated CNG engine, which has the same displacement and an output of 69 kW/94 hp. “Environmental awareness and driving fun are no longer mutually exclusive,” says Alain Visser, Chief Marketing Officer, GM Europe. “With this newly developed turbocharged CNG engine, we continue pursuing our strategy of turbocharging engines to increase efficiency – meaning lower consumption and emissions – without making any concessions in performance.” Key features of the new CNG engine include a turbocharger integrated into the exhaust manifold, an intake manifold with gasoline and CNG fuel pipes, an oil cooler and piston cooling. By virtue of their propulsion units, natural gas-powered Opel vehicles produce 80 percent less nitrogen oxide than a diesel, and almost 20 | | By: Auto Blog India by Infibeam | | |

| | Noble teases twin-turbo V8-powered M600 | | 2008-05-15 20:26:00 | | It's been a while since we have heard from Noble, the small British manufacturer that has put out some pretty impressive sports cars over the last decade. The company is currently developing a new car called the M600, and PistonHeads.com recently had the chance to interview Noble's head honcho Peter Boutwood about the upcoming model. Boutwood revealed that the M600 will be powered by a Yamaha-designed twin-turbo Volvo V8 and will have a full carbon fiber body shell. While no specific details were given regarding specifications or performance figures, the M600 promises to keep pace with the world's top supercars. It will also be absent of any driver aids like traction control and have a focus on being a pure driver's car. No word on whether the M600 will be available in the United States, but it may be imported as a rolling chassis sans engine like the current car.

| | 2008 Saab 9-3 Turbo X | | 2008-05-10 15:30:00 | | The 2008 Saab Turbo X, the first 9-3 model equipped with all-wheel drive, eclipses the Aero as Saab’s top-of-the-line 9-3. A limited run of 600 will be sold in the U.S. as a four-door sedan and five-door wagon. And in homage to Saab turbos of yesteryear, the Turbo X comes in just one color: Jet Black Metallic. At the heart of the X is a more powerful version of the Aero’s turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6. It makes 280 horsepower in the X, 25 more than in the Aero, by increasing its turbo boost from 8.7 psi to 11.6 psi. The suspension is stiffened—almost rigid when compared with the base car—and the body is lowered nearly a half-inch. Brake-rotor diameters grow to 13.6 inches in front and 11.5 inches in the rear, an increase of 1.8 and 0.1, respectively, over the Aero. The interior has some carbon-fiber-looking trim and a retro boost gauge. We especially liked the thicker, leather-wrapped steering wheel.

La puissance délivrée par les motorisations V6 et V8 a été revue à la hausse tout en réduisant d'environ 15% leur taux de consommation grâce au système à injection directe « DFI ». Désormais fixé à 3,6 litres, le moteur V6 suppose une accélération de 0 à 100km/h en 8,1 secondes et une vitesse de pointe à 227km/h (214 en conditions réelles) pour le modèle de base de la gamme. Il passe ainsi de 250 à 280ch. Le V8 du Porsche Cayenne S a lui aussi été optimisé : un réservoir 4,8 litres remplace celui de 4,5. Le Porsche Cayenne Turbo développe quant à lui 8 cylindres et 500 ch pour un couple de 700 Nm soit 50 ch et 80 Nm supplémentaires. Avec une vitesse de pointe estimée à 266km/h, cette nouvelle version passe de 0 à 100km/h en 5,6 secondes. | | By: Auto linx | | |

| | Beijing 2008: Porsche unveils the Cayenne Turbo S | | 2008-04-21 06:47:00 | | Porsche says that Asian and Eastern European market demand for ridiculously high performance SUVs has resulted in a new addition to the Cayenne range. After a brief respite following the introduction of the current-gen Cayenne, the Turbo S moniker returns. With it comes more power, more torque, newly-available features, and a commensurate cost of entry.Updated engine management and a new exhaust system raise peak output to 550 horsepower and 553 lb-ft. Channeled through a 6-speed Tiptronic S gearbox, that's enough to rocket Stuttgart's new über-ute to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and give it a top speed of 174 mph. Reining in those horses becomes even easier if buyers pony up for the optional, massive ceramic composite brakes (16" front / 14.5". rear), now available on Cayenne for the fist time. Exclusive "Lava Gray" paint, the requisite badges, body-colored grille slats, 21-inch wheels, and the quad-tip exhaust help clue savvy onlookers into the fact that this is no mere Turbo.

Mercedes has the SLR McLaren. Audi has the R8. Porsche has the 911 Turbo and GT2. Only BMW is lacking a range-topping supercar, so how does the Bavarian automaker carry the mantle of “the Ultimate Driving Machine”?

| | | | | Saab Turbo X Review | | 2008-02-29 11:01:00 | | Saab's limited edition Turbo X not only evokes the famous black 900 Turbo of 30 years ago, but also previews a new all-wheel-drive system that will appear in the Saab XWD at the end of 2008. Only 2,000 cars will be built, with 500 of them coming to the UK, so buyers will be able to bask in the warm glow of exclusivity, in addition to the extra safety that the all-wheel-drive system provides. Essentially, the car is a Saab 9-3 with black leather throughout the cabin, a metallic jet black paintjob, additional spoilers on the front and rear, new alloy wheels and some extra modified bodykit - plus the all-wheel-drive system. There's only engine option, the range-topping 2.8-litre V6. This has been developed by Holden, GM's Australian outpost and fits well with the 'premium' nature of the Turbo X. And the price for this exclusivity? Prices start at £32,495 when customer deliveries start in March 2008.

| | Gemballa tunes new Cayenne Turbo | | 2008-02-20 10:30:00 | | Advocates of the anti-SUV campaign are probably not acquainted with this new GEMBALLA conversion, simply titled Tornado GTS and GTR. If they were they could be converted to SUV campaigners in an instant. The vehicle is based on the 957 Porsche Cayenne Turbo and features power previously reserved for razor-door type supercars. In its previous life, the GEMBALLA conversion was extensively covered.Meanwhile, new GTS features adjustable seats, a panoramic roof and 4WD. Optional are the multimedia package and the cooling box. As you can probably tell from these pictures, this is a sort of coupe SUV as it sits quite some way closer to the ground than normal. The rear seats as well are as adjustable as the front seats, and offer the same level of sportiness whether you are watching traffic flash by or steering the beast yourself. GTR features lightweight materials, racing seats and 2WD as an option. | | By: Car Tuning Styling | | |

When we last saw the Lotus Esprit in 2004, it was equipped with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at about 350 hp.

| | Kleemann ML63K Bi-turbo | | 2008-02-14 09:33:00 | | The Danish tuning house has turbo charged the 6.3 liter V8, which has already been pushed close to its limits by AMG. AMG extracts 510 hp while Kleemann manages an astounding 800 hp with 1,000 Nm of torque. The ML 63 AMG gearbox (7G Speedshift) and 4-Matic drivetrain are up to the task and were left untouched. Just to throw some numbers at you, the ML63K Bi-turbo can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds and will not stop until the 300 km/h mark. The ML63K rides on 20 inch Kleemann TS-7 wheels (315/35 R20), is painted in Nordic White matte colour, exclusive to the Scandinavian tuner and comes with a hand-made 400 km/h speedometer.

| | WCF Test Drive: Cargraphic Porsche 911 Turbo | | 2008-02-08 12:28:00 | | While most Porsche 911 Turbos we tend to test are brutal, beer-swilling, chest slapping beasts that have so much power they should really be tested for steroids, they’re not all like that. In fact while the headline grabbing display cars define a tuner’s reputation, most owners can’t turn their creations into these knuckle-dragging bodybuilders, because they don’t really own them.Most Turbos, especially in Germany thanks to its particular tax system, are leased, a nice little perk for a successful business. So they can’t go round butchering their car and have to settle for a variety of trimmings that include lip spoilers, wheels, exhausts and bolt-on goodies that can be removed without a trace. Cargraphic recognises the value of smaller, highvolume business, and has swallowed up a market ignored by many others.And that has led to a network of domestic and global distributors that can handle these simple upgrades in-house and as such they have become one of the bigger supplier | | By: Car Tuning Styling | | |

With all the focus on plug-in hybrids, electric cars, and hydrogen fuel cells, one could easily forget the merits of existing engine technologies. But next year, GM plans to introduce a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that promises performance and efficiency at a very low price point. Possible candidates for the engine include the Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Astra, though it could find its way into other vehicles. GM is also expected to add turbochargers to other small inline-four engines, since the upgrade would only cost $250 to $450 per vehicle, according to Automotive News. But don't think such engines will be limited to just hatchbacks and compact cars. Expect to see turbocharged four-cylinder engines in vehicles "no one could have ever imagined," GM's engineering boss Jim Queen said. Automakers are becoming more interested in turbocharging in light of fuel economy concerns. Ford recently launched its EcoBoost V6, which promises V8-like performance, and BMW is in the midst of phasing out its 4.8-liter V8 in favor of a smaller 4.4-liter turbocharged V8, starting with the new X6. | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |
