Ferrari 458 Italia
The design of the Italian Pininfarina Ferrari 458 provides further evidence of the complete break with the past that this new car goodbye. Ferrari 458 Italy has a shape, compact aerodynamic focusing on the notions of simplicity, efficiency and lightness that inspired the project. Like any other Ferrari, the style of the car was heavily influenced by the requirements of aerodynamic efficiency, as you can see on the support of 140 kg to 200 km / h generated by the new model. The front has an opening for the grille and side vents, or the bearing surfaces with sections designed to direct air to the radiator and cooling the underside new apartment. The nose also sports small wings to generate downforce and aero-elastic, as the speed increases, it deforms to reduce the input section of radiators and slide cutting.
The new 4499 cc V8 Ferrari is the first direct-injection engine for mid-rear mounted. Has a very low height of the piston compression typical of racing engines that have helped to achieve its compression ratio of 12.5:1. Featuring traditional flat plane crankshaft, the engine produces 570 hp at 9,000 rpm and with an extraordinary power of 127 hp / liter, establishes a new benchmark not only for the range Ferrari and the company's history, but also the segment. The maximum torque of 540 Nm at 6,000 rpm, over 80 percent of what is available from 3250 rpm. Specification is a peak torque of 120 Nm / liter. However, what is truly extraordinary is the amount of torque, while maintaining high levels of power at low revs.
Of the 458 Ferrari Italy, Maranello has brought a highly distinctive car back to its 8 cylinders. The company now offers two models that share a common DNA of the race, both outstanding athletic and fun to drive in the Ferrari tradition, it is true, but two very different types of customers. While the Ferrari California has been created for owners who require a more versatile sport with a real advantage, Ferrari 458 Italy is designed for owners, whose priority is not to compromise on performance on the road with a Days ability occasionally, but that still requires a car that is used in day-to guide days, as all models of Ferrari.

Mention the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox in your family or friends considering a mid-size crossover SUV and are likely to say: "Huh? An Equa-what? "As the good groups still unclear, the Equinox is a pleasant experience waiting to be discovered by those willing to look beyond the typical Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 in its segment.
All levels of the Chevrolet Equinox Trim is available with a choice of front-wheel or all wheel drive. All but the Sport model is equipped with a 3.4-liter V6 that makes 185 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque, mated to a five-speed automatic. Sport is one of the most powerful engines of this class, a 3.6-liter V6 starting at 264 hp and 250 Nm of torque. E 'connected to a six-speed automatic control with manual transmission.

Equinox Sport gets exclusive blue-lit instrumentation and ebony accents. The layout is generally straightforward, with ergonomic GM stereo and air conditioning, but the car was abandoned by many of poor quality and little plastic cup holders located.
The 2009 Chevrolet Equinox facility fully independent suspension provides a good balance between ride comfort and competent management. It sends bumps and surface irregularities with ease, and long trips are very relaxed, with its quiet cabin well insulated. We find fault with the power direction is standard but is too small and slow to react. The performance-oriented Equinox Sport responds to this criticism by better connecting the hydraulic system and, of course, is the fire of your choice for buyers who expect a strong driving dynamics and versatility in equal measure .
