Frankfurt Preview: Novitec Rosso Kicks The Ferrari 599 GTB Up A Notch

Beginning with the already competent Ferrari 599 GTB, the tuning haus sought to build off the Fezza's strong points while keeping body modifications as low-key as possible when starting with such a striking piece of machinery. The engine output has been bumped by 25 HP (totaling 645 HP) through the implementation of new exhaust with larger, 90mm dual tips and a revised ECU. Top speed has been increased by an addition 5 KM/H, and Novitec plans to go even further in 2008 when it releases a more comprehensive engine package.

To make things stick, the company has fitted a KW Automotive adjustable aluminum suspension setup, which also allows users to adjust ride height by a control within the cabin. The brakes have also been upgraded to 405mm on all four corners courtesy of a Brembo six-piston setup.

On the outside, down force and cooling is improved via a new body kit that includes a new front air dam, rear diffuser, wing, side flaps and a set of side skirts that incorporate larger intake openings. Naturally, the rolling stock has been upgraded, with 20-inch N3 wheels up front and 21-inch out back, wrapped in Pirelli P Zero rubber. Smoked LED taillights round out the visual mods.

Audi RS6: More Than 600 HP?

At one time Japanese regulations prohibited engines in that country producing more than 274hp, and oddly enough a wide array of different engines were all rated at that same level. Given the actual performance of the cars, it was clear that many manufacturers were sandbagging. Audi appears set to do the same with its uber-powerful RS6. The twin-turbo V10 is expected to carry an official rating of 571 hp, but the actual output could be as high as 610hp. Does anyone actually need this much power in a sedan or wagon? Of course not, but sign me up anyway.

Audi A4: Details

The new A4 may look similar to the model it's replacing, some significant work has gone on underneath the sheetmetal to move the engine farther back, which both improves weight distribution and allowed the designer's to reduce the front overhang. Available engines will include a smattering of petrol and diesel options, the base motor being a 1.8TFSI and the top end mill a 265-hp 3.2L FSI V6. Transmission choices for now are limited to a six-speed manual, tiptronic auto and CVT, with the DSG expected to be made available later.

Meanwhile, the interior appears to be typical Audi, if you like that sort of thing. While no doubt impeccable to the touch, some might be getting a bit tired of Audi's traditional interior design.

Record Shattered (Mine Too!)

When Tim Brady punched the accelerator in the Porsche 911 Turbo he was piloting down a rural road in Oxfordshire earlier this year, he could never have imagined that the action would become a moment of infamy. After all, he had to feel pretty confident that no police were on speed patrol where he was, else he wouldn't have wound the car out to 172 MPH. Unfortunately for him, the fuzz was there, and yesterday, Mr. Brady officially became the fastest speeder ever caught in Great Britain when he pled guilty to charges of dangerous driving. His 172 MPH shatters the former high mark of 156 MPH set by a BMW M3 driver in Scotland. That guy went to jail for five months, which doesn't bode well for Mr. Clark.

Leaked: New iPods!

Since Steve Jobs assumes that people are gonna buy a new iPod every year, he just can't resist tossing the next wave of 'em at your face. Behold, the new iPod (pictured left)... Or iPod Nano? Well, whatever it is, it looks kind of big for my taste. It supposedly uses an OS X-based operating system; the same OS that Mac users are enjoying right now. iPod? uSheep.

GT5 Prologue Gives Rise To Dualshock 3

There is a rumor going around thet the new rumble functionality in the new Dualshock 3, is to be featured in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. The discussion of rumble has lead to people thinking that the controller featured on the GT5 Website (above) is, in fact, the Dualshock 3. The silhouette doesn't say much to me.

Aston Martin DBS

Here are a few shots of the more track-like DBS from Aston Martin. Finished in a bluish silver or silvery light blue depending on your vantage point (Ha ha, vantage), I'm still a bit conflicted about this newest top rung Aston. While the recently retired Vanquish was all brutal muscle with some semblance of elegance still there, this DBS looks a bit tuner-like, and although it looks like it might be comfortable at a track-day event, it loses some of the fluidity of design that has been the hallmark of recent Aston Martin design. I'll reserve judgment until after one spends some time in the AB garage (fingers crossed!). There are plenty of media pics available by clicking here.

Paramount & Dreamworks Ditch Blu-Ray? This Is Madness!

The latest blow in the stalemate war: Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks Animation have dropped their Blu-Ray support in exclusive favor of HD-DVD. When the format fiasco initially began, the two studios were already exclusive to HD-DVD, before later deciding to release their films on Blu-Ray as well. This flip-flop means that films such as Transformers and Shrek the Third will only be available on HD-DVD, along with features from Nickelodeon Movies and MTV Films.

Materazzi Speaks Out

You guys remember that one beautiful evening, where Zinedine Zidane dropped Marco Materazzi in the chest? It was called the 2006 World Cup... Or something. Man, I love that show. Well, it turns out that Materazzi has a new book on the market, which talks about this dispute in detail. The exact words that were uttered from Materazzi were, "I prefer the whore that is your sister."


Classic.

How To Kill A PS3... Not

Clearly due to the current heat on Microsoft concerning the Xbox 360 RROD, disk scratching, and overheating scandals, Sony's Dave Karraker is mooning on the company's official blog over a recent PS3 Vault "stress test" called "How to kill a PS3 console" which showed the company's game system to be surprisingly resilient in the face of extreme conditions. "A lot of noise has been made recently about the reliability issues of one of our competitor's systems," Karraker said, then went on to kick some sand in Redmond's eye by adding "Did it fail? Nope. Like the Energizer Bunny, it kept going and going and going." Admittedly, the tests -- which included running games and Blu-ray movies for 108 hours in a typical "living room" environment, placing the console in a freezer van then lowering the temperature from 50 degrees to zero, and powering the PS3 in a sauna where heat increased from 100 degrees to 120 degrees over a nearly three-day session -- were quite extreme. In the end, however, the testers say besides being "extremely hot" after coming out of the sauna, the system is running fine and back in regular use. Microsoft, the ball's in your court.

Google Is Interested In 700MHz Spectrum Auction

"Whoever controls this swathe of spectrum will be obliged to allow customers to attach any type of handset device to the wireless broadband network they subsequently construct. They would also have to allow users to access and use any type of application or software on that network." -By Corey Boles, Dow Jones Newswires

With this announcement having been released, does anyone really think that Google just threw a huge hunting knife at 'AskJeeves' face? Read more about it here. 



GTA IV Delayed... GTA '08 Announced

This is a sad day amongst fans (demented five-year-olds) of the GTA series. It has just been announced that the Grand Theft Auto series will have to be on hold until the second quarter of 2008. This occurs mainly because of the attempt to polish up the game. You can read more about this shocker here 


iPhone = PWNED!!!

I don't know if you guys out there have heard of this thing called the iPhone, but apparently a lot of people out there like it. So, with that being said, the king of PWNAGE (Maddox) has just recently updated his I-hate-this-shit-for-now web page to properly layeth the smackdown onto the device of all hell-breaks-loose; the iPhone.

First Hitachi Blu-Ray Camera

Now, I don't know about you, but when I record footage on my camera it isn't always the prettiest thing. I am sure tons of video recording enthusiasts (Paris Hilton) will want to get their hands on this baby here. Hitachi shows us, that you don't have to be Steven Spielberg to have a 2-hour movie going on... or you know, maybe 12 hours. Read about it here
