"With every new model we continue to evolve and enhance our VH architecture," said Aston Martin Product Development Director, Ian Minards. "The engineering team at Gaydon looked at every single performance attribute of the V8 Vantage, from engine and transmission to suspension, steering, brakes and tires and considered what was required to make this car deserving of the coveted 'S' badge. The result is a pure driver-focused package that, in both the coupe and Roadster form, exploits and emphasizes the sporting nature of the iconic Vantage."

Power for the 2012 Aston Martin Sport Cars V8 Vantage S Roadster comes from a 4.7L V8, which has been re-engineered to deliver 430 bhp (436 PS / 321 kW) at 7300 rpm and torque of 490 Nm (361 lb.ft) at 5000 rpm. The engine is mated to a new round-up developed 7-speed Sportshift II transmission specifically designed for the Vantage S with seven short ratio gears. Aston Martin says that the transmission is twenty percent quicker than its Sportshift. The 2012 Aston Martin Sport Cars V8 Vantage S Roadster also benefits from its own sound with a new exhaust muffler, quickened steering rack ratio of 15:1 compared to 17:1 on the standard car and a larger diameter front brake disc with new six-piston front brake calipers, new dynamic stability control (DSC) system and bespoke Bridgestone tires.

The 2012 Aston Martin Sport Cars V8 Vantage S Roadster weighs 3726 lbs, 66 lbs (30 kg) lighter than the standard Vantage owing to weight optimization of the new Sportshift II transmission and use of carbon fiber. Air cooled, rather than oil cooled, the Sportshift II system takes advantage through the deletion of the oil pump and associated ancillaries saving 53 lbs (24 kg) over the conventional six speed Sportshift system.

Each car undergoes meticulous attention to detail in not only the build phase but quality control and handover processes too.

Oakland Roadster Classic Car Show

The Oakland Roadster Show has reached its sixty-two years of active showcasing. It was recently held from 28th to 30th January, 2011 at the Fairplex in Pomona. It is well known as the world longest running indoor car show. It is still organized at the Fairplex in Pomona after 8 successive years. Oakland Roadster Show is actually named the Grand National Roadster Show. However, many people including the media call it the Oakland Roadster Show, possibly because it was originally held at the Oakland Exhibition Hall, Tenth & Fallon St. The first show was held in the year 1950 in Oakland, California. It was promoted by Al Slonaker. It was later held at the Oakland Coliseum until the year 1997. The year of 1997 was the last year where the show was held in Oakland. In 1998, the Oakland Roadster Show was held at the Concourse in a warehouse that was converted for this car show. It is a building with age and wood beams can be seen around the building.

The building is carpeted too. However, it has a leaking roof and inconvenient parking and these problems caused the show to be relocated. After that, this car show was held at various places across the Bay. In 1999, it was held at the Cow Palace, where the fifth event was held in that year. From year 2001 to 2003, Oakland Roadster Show moved back to San Mateo Fairgrounds, and the former manager of Show Promotions returned to Oakland. A new show named The Oakland Rod and Custom Show was formed. However, this show did not last long because of the high prices set. From then onwards, there were a series of change in location. In 2004, the show was held at the Cow Palace. It was called the San Francisco Rod & Custom Show.

After that, the Grand National Roadster Show moved to Los Angeles Fairplex from San Mateo. For the 55th Annual Grand show, it was held at the Fairground in Pomona. Some of the fans insisted of being loyal to the original show while some became loyal to the new Oakland show. In this fantastic car show, there are more than five hundred show cars competing for the awards. The event will definitely succeed in bringing the the spectators back to the days of custom cars. It is a large gathering event for the authentic 40', 50' and 60' customs. There is also a section for cars that recently won awards. All the participating cars are carefully selected to be showed in a specially designed building. To be chosen, the car will be judged on its quality, condition, safety, creativity and detail. Do ensure that the judge knows where to turn the switch to turn your car around.

You should also raise your car's hood higher enough if you want the judge to look at your engine. Otherwise, the judge cannot evaluate it. List your vehicle's modifications in the Judges Information Book, and place the book on your display for the judges to review it. The good news is that you can get a supply of stanchions and rope without paying a cent. You can also rent the carpet for your cars by mentioning it in your entry application. A standard space for your cars is 10'x 20'; remember to get approval in the application if you need a bigger space. It is a must to display your show card during the whole show including the set up day. There are so many great car shows out there, don't limit yourself to just one showing.

Be sure to check out the cars at carlisle show as well as the Sema and Pebble Beach shows that occur every year! Forty seven awards will be given away during awards ceremony. The awards include Outstanding Individual Displays, Outstanding Group Displays, Outstanding Detail, Outstanding Engineering, Outstanding Color Design, Outstanding Engine, Outstanding Interior, Sweepstakes, America's Most Beautiful Roadster, Al Slonaker Memorial Award, Brizio Family Award, Blackie Gejeian Award and so on. In conclusion, this car show is one that you don't want to miss. There is sufficient seating for a good view, and some of the vehicles will also be cruising around during this event for you to get a good look at them.

An Enduring Legend: The Original Jaguar XKE 120 Dual Cam Roadster

With much of Western Europe in ruins, automobile and engineering companies specializing in all kinds of sports car and motorcycles shifted their focus to America at the end of World War 2. This mass exodus included famous named like Austin-Cooper, Lotus, Austin-Healey, Mini-Cooper, Triumph, MG, Triumph bikes, Norton, Greeves, and British motorcycles. One name that stands out from this era of high-tech engineering and exotic European performance vehicles is the legendary Jaguar XKE roadster.

Although the Jaguar Automotive Company was active in the manufacture of high performance sports cars prior to World War 2, it is only in the post war period that the company went from a local British brand to an internationally acclaimed icon. Jaguar was going strong in pre-war Britain with standouts like the Jaguar Roadster SS-100, but the war soon brought an end to the good times for the small British manufacturer. A weak post-war economy combined with rationing lead to a huge decline in sales in Britain and Europe. Luckily there was an emerging market for premium performance vehicles over the Atlantic in the United States and Canada.

To tap this vibrant new market for their vehicles Jaguar's designers, engineers, and even the co-founder set out to launch a new, more stylish and sporty. This new model was seen as the saviour of the company - it was meant to raise demand for Jaguar vehicles abroad and ensure the company's continued existence in a difficult home market.

To this end they fitted out the new model with a then very powerful engine that achieved max power at 5,000 rpms. This was a huge innovation at the time as such power back then could only be found in specialized racing cars and not normal production vehicles. Another huge innovation for the time was the introduction of twin overhead camshafts, something else not found in many cars of the era. The original XKE roadster used a 3/4 litre inline six engine with a bulky crankshaft and 7 main bearings powering a long engine stroke. The 5200 rpm gave this car 160 horse power, making the original XKE an agile yet refined beast on the highways and byways of America.

It is interesting to note that the unique twin over head cam setup was not proposed for production models of the jaguar Roadster, but for the Jaguar Sedan instead. The cam setup was installed as a temporary fix for the engine during the testing phase of the Roadster, but due to positive market approval and high customer approval they decided to stick to it for final production. Although the Jaguar Sedan Mark VII models released in 1951 featured the same engine, the Jaguar Roadster XK120 model had it three years earlier in 1948.

The Jaguar XK120 was launched to rave reviews for its elegant look, beautiful styling, high performance engine and impressive speed and handling. With its stylish contours and top speed of 120 miles per hour the Jaguar XK120 lived up to its namesake of a sleek and agile hunter. It seems quaint when you consider that the Roadster's price back then was a modest 2,500 US Dollars.

The original Jaguar XKE120 roadster holds the distinction of being one of the best cars ever designed. Even in to the profusion of high-end European cars that thrived in US markets after the war, the Jaguar XKE120 held its own, and is still regarded as an all time classic.

Next post Tesla’s Roadster To Exit In 2011Model S,

If you want a Tesla Roadster, you better sign up now. Tesla Motors plans to stop building the car in 2011.
Buried deep inside the Securities and Exchange Commission paperwork Tesla filed  ahead of its IPO is the announcement that production of the two-seater and its souped up Roadster Sport sibling (pictured) will stop next year, and a replacement won’t hit the road until 2013 at the earliest.
Why? Because it doesn’t have anyone to build it.

“We do not plan to sell our current generation Tesla Roadster after 2011 due to planned tooling changes at a supplier for the Tesla Roadster,” the company wrote in the filing.” The Roadster is built by Lotus, so presumably Tesla is talking about changes at the British automaker’s factory in Hethel, England, but we can’t confirm that because Tesla spokesman Ricardo Reyes declined to comment.
Tesla plans to replace the Roadster, but not “until at least one year after the launch of the which is Model S,not expected to be in production until 2012.” The company just closed a $465 million loan with the Department of Energy to finance construction of the Model S sedan, and it is focusing most of its time and resources on that car.
Stopping production of the Roadster could could present a problem, because it means Tesla won’t have any cars to sell — and no revenue coming in.
“As a result, we anticipate that we may generate limited, if any, revenue from selling electric vehicles after 2011 until the launch of the planned model S,” the company says in the SEC filing. That may not be a problem if S production starts on plan and goes off without a hitch, but if Tesla hits any snags, things could get ugly fast — a point it concedes in the filing.
“The launch of the Model S could be delayed for a number of reasons and any such delays may be significant and would extend the period in which we would generate limited, if any, revenues from sales of our electric vehicles.”
The move amounts to killing the car that made Tesla famous for the sake of the Model S. Tesla better hope everything goes according to plan, or it surely will regret that decision.

2011 Tesla Roadster 2.5: New looks, wheels, seats, less noise

Tesla's on a roll, it seems. Two days after its successful public stock offering, the company has released details of the latest updates to its Roadster electric sports car--known as "Roadster 2.5" after software-release numbering. The 2.5 version sports some new styling at front and rear, including a new front fascia 
After spending an afternoon with the world's first volume produced electric sports car, it strikes me as something of a conundrum. On the one hand, I respect it for the accomplishment it represents, but at the same time the limitations it imposes give me pause.
The afternoon I spent with the Roadster, we covered 143 miles and it had 28 miles of range left when I took it back. Which theoretically means I could've driven it 171 miles in my admittedly uneconomical fashion on the charge it had when its key was handed over to me. Thing is, I could not have driven it to where I did and back like that if I'd s Tesla.
As a sports car, that limitation is something of a buzz-kill for me. However, taken as a commuter, it has the potential to be absolutely wonderful. Even if my job were 60 miles away from my home, it'd still have more than enough range to bring me back--on the same charge. And that's not even considering I'd Lotus Elise certainly have a place to plug it in while at work.
As a commuter car, the Tesla Roadster would be pretty tough to live with though. Based as it is on the  and inheriting that car's notoriously unfriendly ergonomics, contorting myself to get in and out of the Roadster to go to and from work everyday would get old fast. Remarkably, the thing it ought to be good at is fraught with peril while the thing it is good at is fraught with impracticality.
And that's before we even consider the price.
As tested, the Roadster I drove carried a $150,000+ sticker. For that kind of money there are more than a few truly amazing  sports cars you can drive wherever you like without the need to limber up before trying to get into them. Also, while the Tesla is low and sleek, when the road gets twisty it isn't exactly as swoopy as those other cars either.
You can dance with the Roadster when the music's hot, but you have to be very capable of managing understeer. The first time I tried to turn the Tesla aggressively into a corner, all that weight in its hind parts, coupled with the unexpected heaviness of its steering found me running considerably wide of the apex I'd aimed for.
Despite its diminutive size, and familial relationship to the go kart-like Lotus, the Tesla prefers to be set up for a corner as if it is considerably larger than it actually is and finessed through. Do that, you can run quite quickly, but it's conundrum time again. Here's a small sports car that wants to be driven like a larger GT car.
The Roadster is quite stable at triple digit speeds and its combination of regenerative and friction brakes are more than up to the task--absolutely fade-free and genuinely confidence-inspiring. I also like the way the strong regenerative braking helps slow the car, as downshifting would do, when entering a turn. This has the added advantage of generating more juice too.

The interior of the car is lovely, with exceptional quality in evidence throughout. The backlit pushbuttons for the single speed transmission's functions are slick and the iPod dock at the edge of the center stack is pure genius.
Again, for the accomplishment it represents, the Tesla Roadster deserves our unfettered adulation--rousing applause even. It has attracted considerable interest to electric cars, and some say it even embarrassed GM into creating the Volt. The viability of the Roadster's powertrain attracted partnerships from established players like Panasonic, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota. As a marketing device for the Tesla Company it is an absolute success. Taken on its own as a sports car though--in this writer's opinion--the Tesla Roadster leaves some things to be desired.

2011 Tesla Roadster

 

The Basics:

Tesla has delivered on its promise: The 2011 Tesla Roadster 2.5 is truly the first green alternative to more than 100 years of fast cars powered by gasoline. The Roadster's classic two-seat shape, complete with soft top, provides what can only be called kick-ass performance without a tailpipe, emissions, or a fuel tank.
The 2011 Roadster has been updated to "Version 2.5," in Tesla's Silicon Valley argot. This third model year for the low-production Roadster includes a restyled front end, more comfortable seats, better noise insulation, and an optional backup camera. Otherwise, it's the same all-electric Roadster whose performance has earned raves from reviewers all over the globe.
Based on a heavily revised platform borrowed from  Lotus Elise, the Tesla Roadster was first unveiled in 2006. Volume deliveries began early in 2009 at a price of $109,000 for the standard Roadster, and $128,500 for the even quicker Roadster Sport.
The Tesla Roadster will always be a low-volume vehicle. Tesla is moving closer to introduction of its Model S all-electric mid-size sports sedan, now planned to occur before the end of 2012. But Roadster production winds down in December 2011, once an assembly contract with England's  Lotus ends with a total of 2,400 cars built.
As a proof of concept to show what a modern electric can offer, the Tesla Roadster will go down in automotive history whether or not Tesla Motors survives as an independent company. The Roadster did more to update the image of the electric car than any other single vehicle. And it did it using the best of all possible arguments: It's truly, impressively, addictively fun to drive.
The 2011 Roadster is a 2-door, 2-passenger convertible sports car, available in two trims, the Convertible and the Sport.

Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard MOTOR, 288-horsepower, electric engine. A 1-speed automatic transmission is standard. 
Tesla's on a roll, it seems. Two days after its successful public stock offering,  the company has released details of the latest updates to its Roadster electric sports car–known as “Roadster 2.5″ after software-release numbering.
The 2.5 version sports some new styling at front and rear, including a new front fascia (the grille-and-bumper area) that incorporates diffusing vents. There’s also a different rear air diffuser that reflects, says the company, “the future of  Tesla design.”
The changes come, Tesla says, as the result of its “close feedback loop” with its customers. “These improvements are a direct result of customer feedback,” says CEO Elon Musk. In other words, they’re fixing things that buyers have probably complained about.
Other updates include new “directional” forged wheels, offered in black or silver;
Inside, the most significant alteration is undoubtedly more comfortable seats, which have larger bolsters and now include a lumbar support system. Interior noise has been reduced in several ways, including new sound-suppressing front fender liners.
There’s now an optional backup camera in a 7-inch touchscreen display as well.
Finally, Tesla has further modified the Roadster’s power-control system, adding unspecified hardware to permit “spirited driving” (which we presume means maximum electric power) in exceptionally hot climates.
The company is now taking orders for the 2011 Tesla Roadster 2.5, and it will appear shortly in Tesla's network of stores in the U.S. and overseas. “Where feasible,” according to Musk, “we will also offer existing customers the ability to purchase the upgrades.”
Its two newest Tesla Stores–in Newport Beach, California, and Copenhagen, Denmark–will open with evening receptions. Both will have the Roadster 2.5 on display.
Tesla has now sold more than 1,200 Roadsters to buyers in 23 countries. It claims the cars have logged a total of more than 5 million miles. Questions remain, however, over even after  whether the company can remain independent its IPO.

Rat Rod Roadster Typical

Author: jayabaya

Rat Rod is actually a development of the Hot rod grip which began in the 1950s. You could say this genre is the antithesis of Hot Rod cars which later tend to require a high budget, high end parts, and paint the shiny or often referred to as the Trailer Queen (who had never driven a car and only displayed from one exhibition to another exhibition) .


A typical Rat Rod car usually based coupe cars or roadsster output 1930 to 1950 with a lower body from the chassis, engine bay that opens ferocious, gigantic white wall tire, low roof, trim is removed, until the paint dull (even many deliberately shows a standard metal plate without paint) and do not forget to affix the graphics line pinstripe.

Wing cars Rat Rod is a modified car by the owner and as much as possible is made using a low budget. Usually they use components of another car to get its own satisfaction. But, in the flow of Rat Rod, the owner can express all the ideas and creations without having to fear the pattern-specific pattern ... The more bizarre changes, the higher the value of its art.

Currently Rat Rod is becoming a phenomenon in the United States. Even the carpet leading Hot Rod, Goodguys provide a separate parking area for cars named Rat Rod Garage Down. This is a natural reaction of a new generation of what has been done by previous generations. In the era of the 80s, the cars Boyd Coddington creation (creators of new-age Hot Rod) are very popular.

Lamborghini Revanton Roadster

Car-Scrapyards: used car parts
presents

Lamnorghini Revanton Roadster

Lamborghini presents the ultimate driving machine among open-top two-seaters - the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster is a sports car of breathtaking fascination, menacing power and uncompromising performance. The 6.5 liter twelve-cylinder generates 493 kW (670 PS), catapulting the Roadster from 0 to 100 Km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and onwards to a top speed of 330 KM/h (205 mph). The open-top Lamborghini Reventón Roadster is not only one of the fastest, but also one of the most exclusive cars in the world - Lamborghini has limited the series.

The Lamborghini Reventón Roadster is not destined to remain a one-off. Less than 20 Lamborghini friends and collectors will be able to own this extraordinary car and, naturally, enjoy the incomparable pleasure of driving it. Each Lamborghini Reventón Roadster will be sold for 1.1 Million Euro (without taxes). Deliveries will begin October 2009.

Open-top sports cars are a tradition at Lamborghini that stretches back over 40 years. In 1968, the company from Sant'Agata Bolognese built a Lamborghini Miura without a fixed roof as a one-off. The Lamborghini Diablo Roadster appeared in 1995 with its targa roof anchored to the engine cover.
