NATS GT-K kei - car GTR




That's it folks, get right with your God, grab your lawn chair and your favorite beverage, and find a nice viewing spot because the NATS GT-K is surely the harbinger of the end times.
In its current state, the NATS GT-K may be the personal transport of Shiva, but it started out as a lowly Suzuki Cappuccino, and maintains the huge 0.657 liter inline-three, though it gets upgraded with a bigger turbo and an intercooler, bigger brakes, and coilovers. We're pretty certain the NATS GT-K will still be appallingly slow despite the tuning, but that body work will make you beg for the firey destruction of the world to come quickly. Really, the NATS GT-K is the worst thing we've ever seen offered as a serious product. We need to lay down until the nausea passes.

Mini John Cooper Works GP (JCW GP) merupakan model Mini paling laju pernah dibina oleh pengeluarnya. Model itu akan dibina dengan prestasi tinggi untuk kegunaan litar lumba. Menariknya model itu halal didaftarkan untuk kegunaan jalan awam dan lebih istimewa hanya dua ribu unit sahaja ditawarkan kepada pasaran.
Walau bagaimanapun, pembeli yang berminat masih belum boleh memilikinya memandangkan model itu masih lagi dalam proses pembangunan. Suatu yang mengujakan semasa sesi ujian di litar Nurburgring, model itu telah mencatat rekod kelajuan masa 8 minit 23 saat. Catatan masa itu merupakan rekod baharu iaitu 19 saat lebih pantas berbanding model sebelumnya iaitu Mini Cooper S dengan kit John Cooper Works GP.
Apa yang membuatkan Mini JCW GP ini luar biasa berbanding Mini Cooper kebanyakan? Jawapannya ialah pada pakej enjin, casis serta kit aerodinamik yang mana kesemuanya diinspirasikan daripada sukan permotoran. Enjinnya menggunakan turbo twin-scroll yang menjanakan tork yang kuat dan bergerak seperti enjin yang dahagakan arahan kuasa daripada pemandu. Suspensi yang digunakan pula adalah jenis perlumbaan boleh laras yang dibangunkan khas bagi menterjemahkan kuasa output enjin kepada litar dengan pengendalian yang  lebih meyakinkan.
Bukan sahaja enjin dan suspensi malah luarannya juga perlu gempak seiring kuasanya. Kit badan yang digunakan bukan sahaja untuk astetik malah berfungsi di dalam keadaan pemanduan yang ekstrem. Komponen itu terdiri daripada apron depan dan belakang yang besar, kit sisi dan spoiler bumbung yang menyerlah. Peresap belakang pula mengoptimumkan laluan angin di bawah kereta. Interior kereta pula pasti membuatkan penumpang berasa sedih memandangkan kerusi belakangnya telah dibuang terus bagi menjustifikasikan lagi imej perlumbaan. Justifikasinya ialah di dalam perlumbaan yang penting hanyalah pemandu dan juru pandu arah.
Tag GP yang digunakan pada model itu pula lambang model edisi sport sebagai tanda bahawa model itu berprestasi tinggi. Konfigurasi casis, sistem brek, grip pada tayar perlumbaan ‘diasuh’ di litar perlumbaan Nurburgring yang merupakan litar yang paling mencabar di dunia. Jadi tidak hairanlah Mini JCW GP mencatatkan masa yang cemerlang di litar itu. Suka untuk saya kongsi model Mini Cooper S dengan kit JCW GP sebelum ini telah menjadi collector’s item di UK. Model penggantinya pula menjejak langkah model terdahulu dan hadir dengan pakej yang lebih ekstrem.
Sebagai strategi perniagaan jangka masa panjang, barang yang dijangkakan popular perlu dihadkan supaya sentiasa dicari. Biasalah, benda-benda yang rare itulah diburu orang. Kesannya ialah sesebuah jenama atau produk itu dikehendaki selari dengan prinsip kepenggunaan iaitu keperluan atau kehendak. The brand that people desire. 


Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X FQ-400


Do you remember the Mitsubishi Evolution FQ 330 that we showed you last week, well that was nothing compared to this, the FQ 400. Whereas the 330 HP version seemed to be nothing more than an EVO MR with a reflashed ECU, the FQ 400 is a whole different animal.
Starting off with the basics, Mitsubishi’s 4B11 receives four new high-flow fuel injectors, a new hybrid turbocharger that reduces lag, an upgraded intercooler to handle the additional boost and a full 3 inch stainless steel exhaust that spits the spent gasses out of a centrally mounted tail pipe. The result is a peak output of 403 HP and 387 lb-ft of torque. Enough thrust to move the FQ 400 from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.8 seconds.
Getting back to the “all new animal” topic. The FQ 400 receives a couple of body mods, that not only make the car look as impressive as the old EVO VI TME, but their composite construction saves some unnecessary weight and makes the factory tuned EVO even more capable. The engine is hidden away by a new hood with larger opening for even better cooling; the front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and diffuser are all made from lightweight composite material.
Handling is improved because the chassis now sits 30 mm lower to the ground thanks to the new Eibach springs and Bilstein shock absorbers. The FQ wears stylish new 18 inch lightweight alloys wrapped in very sticky Toyo Proxes R1R tires. The wheel and tire package houses the six piston Alcon/Mitsubishi brake calipers and oversized drilled rotors.
One of the most interesting things is that unlike the flappy paddled FQ 330, the 400 HP hot-rod EVO has a clutch pedal. When the Europe only Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution FQ 400 hits dealerships, expect to pay around £49,999. Even at that price, the FQ 400 offers an outstanding performance/dollar ratio, something that most of the super cars out there cannot.

Press release

The tenth version of Mitsubishi’s iconic Lancer Evolution models has a new performance flagship model to top its range, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400.

Extreme Evolution


The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400 is the fastest and most extreme version of Mitsubishi’s motorsport derived machine. With 403bhp and 387lb.ft of torque on offer from its advanced, lightweight aluminum 2.0-litre turbocharged MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control) petrol engine the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400 is able to reach 62mph from standstill in an estimated 3.8 seconds before reaching an electronically limited 155mph – where permitted.

Traction and handling

Ensuring all the Mitsubishi Evo X FQ400’s power is put to good use is Mitsubishi’s sophisticated Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) four-wheel-drive system which appropriates power to the wheels that can best use it, giving the FQ400 quite sensational cross-country performance.
The S-AWC system combines a number of electronic systems that both enhance the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400’s performance and safety, with Active Stability Control and Active Center Differential, Active Yaw Control and Sport ABS giving the Mitsubishi Evo X FQ400 incredible cornering ability, traction and grip. Depending on the conditions the driver can select the most suitable set-up for the S-AWC system, three choices – Tarmac, Gravel and Snow – being offered via the wheel-mounted button and displayed in the central instrument binnacle.

Cornering stability

Increasing the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400’s cornering ability even further over its FQ relatives is a wider track and lowered suspension featuring Eibach springs and Bilstein Shock Absorbers. Lightweight 18-inch, nine spoke alloy wheels fitted with Toyo Proxes R1R tires enhance the FQ400’s grip, giving it sharper cornering response on the road and more incisive steering. The enhanced agility and performance is backed by a revised braking system which uses aerospace grade aluminum alloys and floating sealed discs grabbed by high performance pads.

Extreme Power

To achieve the incredible 403bhp from just 2.0-litres Mitsubishi has had to significantly revise the Mitsubishi Evo X FQ400’s advanced powerplant. Motorsport specification high-flow fuel injectors are fitted to the aluminum cylinder head and a new hybrid turbocharger is also fitted. The higher specification turbocharger features low-friction bearings, a high temperature turbine and strengthened thrust bearing to increase response and reduce turbo lag. Feeding the turbocharger cooled air, improving its performance and efficiency, is an enhanced intercooler, while the exhaust’s gasses flow from the engine via a 3-inch diameter high flow stainless steel piping and catalytic converter before exiting through a centrally positioned exhaust.

Mitsubishi has remapped the Engine Control Unit (ECU) extensively with over 500 hours of development time to allow its 2.0-litre turbocharged engine to not just produce its exceptional output but to do so with excellent derivability. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400’s acceleration is sensational, it pulling hard through the gears regardless of engine revs. With peak torque of 387lb.ft on offer from just 3,500rpm, the FQ400 is just as able to trickle through town traffic as it is taking a rally special stage.

A ‘nod’ to the Evo VI

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400 looks every bit the rally refugee too, giving a strong ‘nod’ to the styling cues of the legendary Evolution VI, and builds on the already aggressive style of its Lancer Evolution X FQ relatives.

A heavily vented bonnet helps heat escape from the Mitsubishi Evo X FQ400’s turbocharged engine and a new lightweight composite front bumper incorporating Mitsubishi’s trademark ‘Jet Fighter’ grille features carbon-fiber elements on its leading edges. Additional lighting and High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights mark out the FQ400’s nose, its added aggressiveness further enhanced by a 30mm drop in front ride height. Composite side skirts, a re-styled rear bumper with a carbon fiber diffuser, a rear wing incorporating a gurney strip and a roof-mounted ‘Vortex Generator’ all help manage airflow and cooling.

Behind the 18-inch lightweight, nine spoke alloy wheels it’s possible to see the Alcon brakes on the front, while the Toyo Proxes R1R tires underline the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400’s potency with their aggressive ‘cut slick’ tread pattern. Inside, the driver is held tightly against the FQ400’s sensational accelerative, braking and cornering forces in Recaro bucket sports seats, the range-topping Lancer Evolution X also gaining an Mitsubishi Evo X FQ400 liveried handbrake handle and carbon fiber gearknob.

No compromise

Despite its obvious focus the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400’s suspension offers compliance thanks to the Eibach Springs and Bilstein Shock Absorbers, the FQ400’s usefulness as a daily driver not compromised overly thanks to Mitsubishi’s chassis tuning. The stiff bodywork not only provides an exceptionally rigid platform for the suspension to work, but excellent crash-worthiness, the Lancer Evolution X attaining a five-star score in Euro NCAP’s independent crash tests. The Mitsubishi Evo X FQ400’s S-AWC and its incorporated stability, traction and braking systems helping avoid an accident in the first place. Even so there’s reassurance of seven airbags, seat belt pretensioners and ISO Fix child seating all included in its standard specification.

Fully loaded

Standard equipment for the range-topping Lancer Evolution X model is comprehensive, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400 coming with Bluetooth hands-free telephone connection, a CD-tuner with 30 Gig hard drive, DVD satellite navigation and privacy glass. Convenience features like remote central locking, automatic headlamps and windscreen wipers increase the FQ400’s ease of use, the huge performance it offers not coming at the expense of usefulness. Like its Lancer Evolution X relatives it features comfortable seating for five as well as a usefully sized boot, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ400 bringing all the convenience of the standard saloon car it’s based upon – but with explosive performance potential.

Setting the standard

Standard it’s not though, instead the Mitsubishi Evo X FQ400 is a standard setter, with performance that’s the measure of any rival and many exotic sports and supercars costing many multiples of its £49,999 list price. Available from June 2009, the FQ400 is covered by a three year / 36,000 mile warranty.

Apakah itu sistem Turbo

Turbo, merupakan sejenis alat pemampat gas yang digunakan bagi tujuan menghasilkan suatu pernafasan paksaan pada enjin pembakaran dalaman. Seperti juga Supercharger , tujuan utama pengecas turbo ialah bagi meningkatkan kepadatan udara yang masuk ke dalam enjin melalui liang masukan untuk menjana lebih kuasa dalam masa yang singkat pada enjin. Walau bagaimanapun, pengecas turbo terdiri daripada pemampat yang digerakkan oleh sebuah/dua turbin, yang juga digerakkan oleh gas ekzos daripada enjin itu sendiri, dan bukannya secara pacuan mekanikal terus seperti mana supercharger.
