Porsche Sinister Edition - 2010 Porsche Boxster 987.2 Full Custom Build Log By Del Rey Customs & Al and Ed's Marina Del Rey

Not to often do we get the opportunity to go just all out on a customs audio system. We do very well with installing the Dynaudio into the Porsche vehicles but this car has achieved as we like to call the Sinister Edition. The Sinister Edition started back in 2001 when Saturn Killed was working at his own shop The Sound Company in Cathedral City. The Simple concept of going red and black on a car and making it feel like a coffin has always been a motivational factory in any of his builds. 

 

    "I believe cars should be Fast and Loud. They should inspire fear in your opponents when you pull up ready to put it all on the line for that one quarter of a mile. It should sound as good as it look. It should be mysterious and peak curiosity and above all else out perform the competition in every aspect of the build. I created the Sinister Editions vehicles in hope to inspire fear in my opponents and the desire above all else to win. The concept is born for guys Like Johnny Cash, David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Iggy Pop, Marilyn Manson, James Maynard, Slash and other great musicians that stood up to what society said is unacceptable and to walk through the conversation of there times and live to become Men of Legends. Society wants everything to fit in a box, to be labeled, and to be boring. Ed Roth when he started build cars pushed the envelope of what people considered a vehicle. Back in the 40 and 50 people would discovered drag racing and were off to modify their old Ford and Chevrolet chopping, shaving and modifying them. Your car should be an extension of you personality and a common believes to break through the barriers of boring and simple to a vehicle that makes the blood in your veins flow and your heart pump..

    Hence  The Sinister Edition. It is my belief that the Black Represents the Darkness in us all, That Little voice in your head that tells you to day I Will No Be Disrespected and I will Drive Fast, Listen To Loud Music and Turn The Heads of The Masses. The Dark Red Represent the Blood that flow through ever man and woman body. Your Heart that Pump the The Blood Like Gasoline through our veins and make and the adrenaline that flow in that blood. I stand for the Outcast, the Misfits, the Rebels of this world. The people that set the trends and not the ones who follow. Life is a Journey, arrive in style, your own style not someones else. Never be told its too loud. Never settle for second best, Never settle for boring. Push the limits and nurture the counter culture that resides deep with in us all. Let all the senses feast on the Audible, the Visual and the Kinetic and explore the depths of your soul. Satnd up and Fight! Dare to be different. 

   I challenge you this. When your sick and tired of being sick and tired. When driving a luxury car or a classic is not truing heads, gaining the respects of your peers, and your sick and tired of the way you feel... I can Help. My Name is Saturn Killed and I build Dreams. I don't Follow Trends, I Create Them." -Saturn Killed Custom Car Builder Al & Ed's Marina Del Rey, California. 

 

   So We set out to style a 2010 Porsche Boxster For a customer. We are going to push the envelope to create truly a one of a kind Driving experience and to do this I am going to need so help of a few professionals. When It comes to the Vision of Saturn He only works with the best in the business. After a Planning session and ordering all the proper parts we need for the Sinister Edition Porsche Boxster the Decision was made to bring in Andre and George Of New Life to do the Interior Leather work. For Carbon Fiber Dave from DB Carbon was contacted to get the Carbon Parts Into Production which will be coming all the way from Germany. A few small detail Carbon Parts will be done By Simon Inc. The Paint Booth time was book for Armando at MCB Collision and Mike M. from Globe Tires will be taking care of the brakes and tires for us. We sub contract some of the work out because it speed up the process and will keep us on time for delivery. The vehicle wrap, audio system, tear down and assembly will be done in house at Al & Ed's Marina Del Rey, CA and the Detailing at the end will be courtesy of Mikes Mobile Wash.

Greddy Scion Racing 2JZ-GTE Formula Drift Car From The 2013 LA Auto Show

 I'm walking around the 2013 +SEMA Show and I Fell in love with this car. I have been have dreams of a +Rocket Bunny  Fenders for my +Saturn Sky Redline and a month later at the 2013 LA Auto Show I run into the same car. Greddy USA +Scion Racing +Volk Racing Rays Engineering  +HANKOOK KSA Scion Dream FRS Ultimate Racing Machine. This car was Just the Ultimate Stance Import Tuner.

The theme of the build was GReddy Pro Driver, Ken Gushi's Dream GReddy Race Car.

The GReddy Racing Scion FR-S Prototype features a GReddy built 2JZ-GTE, inline 6 cylinder engine, powered by a GReddy T88H-38GK Turbo, Type 29R Intercooler and Cast Intake Manifold.  The exterior is wrapped in the new Rocket Bunny Ver.2 Wide-body FR-S/BRZ Aero Kit.  The racecar project also uses: Takata Racing Seats and Belts, 19" Ray's Gram Light 57FXX wheels, +Hankook 韓泰輪胎 @TAIWAN  R-S3 Tires, KW motorsports coil-overs, SPL Parts rear suspension arms, Wilwood brakes, G-Force GSR transmission, OS Giken clutch and LSD as well as a host of custom GReddy components.

 

The 2JZ-GTE is an inline-layoutsix-cylinder, belt-driven dual-overhead camshaft, air-intercooled, twin-turbocharged, cast-iron block, aluminium cylinder headed engine designed and manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation that was produced from 1991 until 2002 in Japan. Development and evolution of the engine was, principally, a response to Nissan's relatively new and then-successful RB26DETTengine[citation needed] which had achieved palpable success in FIA Group A and Group N touring car championships,

 

The 2JZ-GTE originally powered the Toyota Aristo V (JZS147) in 1991 before becoming Toyota's flagship performance engine in theToyota Supra RZ (JZA80). Its mechanical basis was the existing 2JZ-GE, but differed in its use of sequential twin turbochargers and an air-to-air side-mounted intercooler. The engine block, crankshaft, and connecting rods of the Supra's 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE are the same, with notable differences being that the 2JZ-GTE has recessed piston tops (giving a lower compression ratio), oil spray nozzles to aid in cooling the pistons and a different head (redesigned inlet/exhaust ports, cams and valves). However, other 2JZ-GE equipped models (Aristo, Altezza, Mark II) share a different part number for connecting rods. Toyota's VVT-i variable valve timing technology was added to the engine beginning in September 1997, whence it phased out the original engine. Consequently, maximum torque and horsepower was raised for engines selling in all markets.

The addition of twin turbochargers, jointly developed by Toyota with Hitachi, in sequential configuration had raised its commercially cited output from 230 PS (169 kW; 227 hp) to the contemporary industry maximum of 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) at 5600 rpm. In its first appearance, torque was advertised as 44.3 kgm (435 Nm, 320 lbft) at 4000 rpm to be later recited as 46.0 kgm (451 Nm, 333 lbft) with the introduction VVT-i in production year 1997. The mutually agreed, industry-wide output ceiling was enforced by Japan's now-defunctGentlemen's Agreement exclusively between Japanese automakers selling to the Japanese domestic market. Engine power in the North American and European markets, as documented by Toyota, was increased to 325 PS (239 kW; 321 hp) at 5600 rpm.[4]

The export version of the 2JZ-GTE achieved its higher power output with the use of newer stainless steel turbochargers (ceramic for Japanese models), revised camshafts, and larger injectors (550 cc/min for export, 440 cc/min for Japanese). The mechanical similarities between the Japanese-specification CT20 turbine and export-specification CT12B turbine allow interchangeability of the exhaust-side propeller shaft. Additionally, the export-exclusive CT12B turbine received more durable turbine housings and stainless steel turbine and impeller fins. Multiple variants of the Japanese CT20 turbine exist discretely, which are identified with the BR, and Apart number suffixes (e.g.: CT20A).

(excerpt from +Wikipedia )

 

So now let's talk about the Hottest thing since Sliced Bread....Rocket Bunny bolt on Wide Body Kits. These were all over Sema and the LA auto show. This +Scion FR-S kit was straight FIRE!!! the Front Led Look like something off a +Rolls-Royce  +Wald Black Bison Kit. Super clean and bright HID and from the looks of the car has the JDM +Toyota 86  LED head Lights. Can never have enough LED's on a car these days. Also the Car Featured the new 4D L.E.D Logo aftermarket glowing logos. There cheep like $40-$60 dollar a piece all over the web, +eBay+Amazon.com+Shopbop +Shopifyzer all the online stores have them and they all come out of Taiwan so there no secret. The look really good, There probably not street legal but damn the look really good. The Logos are probably 2 for 1 on +Groupon or +LivingSocial as we speak. The new +Stance or as the kids call it #stancelife is becoming bigger than the +Jdm craziness on the Late 90's when people were buying 5,000 +Honda Civic and Dropping B18 motors, Si LSD 5 Lug Tyrannies and Right had driving there cars to the tune of 60K. ( I got More Pussy Classy Ladies who had a few daddy issues in my BMW 5 Series back then, little did they know it was still a 5K Civic Hatchback at the end of the day).

 

So Greddy Brings in the Rocket Bunny Kits and also been a hug hit on the +BMW M3 E92 and on a +Ferrari +SKUDERIA that was posted up in the +DUB Magazine Booth. Now I'm Not sure who thought doing a wide body bolt on kit on there Ferrari was a brilliant idea, But it look like hell and the fender flairs defiantly look better on the FR-S, BR-Z and the M3. Its something new and fresh. I would love for them to come out with a full carbon fiber kit and it would be nice if it was for a 2007 Saturn Sky Redline, But one could only hope. If any one is interested in making this happen maybe the fine people +Pas Magazin  or +Import Tuner Magazine  would be a huge help.

 

 

 

 

So this about wraps up the best car at the 203 LA Auto Show. It made it well worth while to show up and it was worth the wait to get some good pictures of the car.

 

It would be a cool idea to let me rip loose on the track in this car with my +Looxcie camera just to see what we could do but i did notice that it had 3 +Go Pro on the car already so they beat us to the punch. I set y +Google Alerts to see if the car ever hits the track or if we can get some real world horse power specs. For now like most cars it is just eye candy for us to look at and wonder what it could do in an event or on a track. I get that building a show car is just for show but it has sadden me through out the years to see these beautiful works of art never driven like the cars is built to be driven. I believe all cars should be built an driven base on purpose and not just sit there to be trophy of too much money invested to where company are scared to drive the car how it is ultimately built to be driven. Anything can be fixed in this life and we should use everything in life as it is meant to be. I one heard in a move ( +Fast and Furious Series ) Dom Said " We live this life a quarter mile at a time." and i know it just Hollywood and a script, but for a lot of us JDM Import Turner guys out here it make perfect sense.

 

RIP +Paul Walker and remember people to give to his charity +Reach Out Worldwide and keep his memory alive. Stop Rushing out selling off all the things he loved like the cars he drove in the movie, not even the cars he own but cars similar to what he drove in the movie. and don't believe there all his. He had a few and those are in the care of +Always Evolving. When I see a car going for 1.2 Million the day after a guy dies is just pure disrespect for him, what he stood for and his family and friends. Some people will always be scumbags ad parasites in this life and you all know who you are.

2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, ZL-1 Convertible and 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe Black Concept LA Auto Show Coverage



Saturn Killed check out the new Z28 Camaro at the 2013 LA AUTO SHOW in Downtown LA!+Looxcie  let Saturn on loose with the new Looxcie 3 to see what he could do with it during the LA auto Show. +General Motors  Brought some Heat this year with the re introduction of the New 2015 Camaro Z28.
 They also have  fine selection in their +Camaro Zone including the  +CHEVROLET CAMARO ZL1+Chevrolet Camaro SS and the +Chevrolet Camaro RS.+Chevrolet over all had the best showing when it came down to the +Muscle Cars And Hot Rods for their 2014 line up. With the availability of the 2014+Corvette Stingray in 6 different package options making it the Year of Chevy. Also I did get a photo of the new +Chevrolet Tahoe Black Edition which was a beautiful SUV debut at the show.


The spec for the New Camaro Z/28 Come of Chevy website and it is Incredible. only 40 less horsepower than the ZL1 supercharged LSA motor and is just making a ton of power. We have not seen this much horsepower in a factory line up since DOT crackdown on the Automakers in 1972. Over the past few years after the bailout, Chevy has made great strides to improve the final product to the consumers. Also now most manufacturers are offering Matte finishes this year as well as an introduction of the ZR-1 in a convertible model we will get into later in this article.

 The New Z/28 Breaks down like this....
A hand-assembled LS7 engine powers the Camaro Z/28, boasting an incredible 505 horsepower and 481 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful normally aspirated regular production small block V8 ever. The highest-quality parts and precision assembly elevate the redline level to 7000 rpm.
Durable, lightweight components such as titanium intake valves and connecting rods coupled with a forged-steel crankshaft make the LS7 engine incredibly robust. The standard 10.5-quart, dry-sump oil system distributes pressurized oil from an external reservoir to protect vital components under high-g driving conditions.



The LS7 is mated to a+TREMECtv  TR6060 6-speed manual gearbox that features close-ratio gearing - optimized for the engine’s power characteristics. The TREMEC is coupled with a 5.1:1-ratio short-throw shifter to ensure quick and precise shifts
Power is distributed to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential, which features a helical gear set rather than traditional clutch packs that continuously adjusts torque bias allowing drivers to confidently lay down more power to get through corners faster. Coupled with the Performance Traction Management (PTM) system, drivers can adjust the level of throttle and brake intervention to match their capability and driving environment, essentially making PTM custom to each driving situation.
The legendary Camaro Z/28 is back for the 2014 model year. Originally introduced in 1967, Camaro Z/28 was designed specifically to compete in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-Am 2 class. Lightweight, nimble and incredibly powerful, the original Z/28 was designed ideally for road racing. The 2014 Z/28 carries the same racing credentials, running a lap around the Nurbürgring in an impressive 7:37.47 in inclement weather.

Z/28 features a cooling system designed for the track — standard. This incorporates the dry-sump oil system of the LS7, which connects to an integral liquid-to-liquid cooling system for engine oil. Another liquid-to-liquid system provides cooling for the transmission and differential.




The 2014 Camaro Z/28 pays homage to the exterior of the original legend while capitalizing on 21st century design elements and technology. Z/28 was born to be a functional instrument for the track, utilizing best practices and influences learned through racing.
Camaro Z/28 has aerodynamic treatments designed to produce downforce — specifically at track speeds. A large splitter connects to an underbody panel to further reduce lift. Fender flares over the front and rear wheels and extended rocker panels contribute to aerodynamic stability. Z/28 also features an aggressive rear spoiler and functional diffuser to complete the fully integrated aerodynamic package.

The tires on Camaro Z/28 are robust and massive +Pirelli North America  PZERO™ Trofeo R† 305/30ZR19 summer-only tires† — ideal for lateral motions, like corner entry and exit.
Camaro Z/28 features lightweight Brembo® carbon Ceramic Matrix™ rotors and fixed, monoblock calipers. The huge 394 x 36 mm front rotors are paired with 6-piston calipers, while the 390 x 32 mm rear rotors are paired with 4-piston calipers. Compared to similar-size two-piece steel rotors, the lightweight and large carbon calipers save 22 pounds, while encouraging impressive stopping power and heat toleration — ideal for track use.
Camaro Z/28 is one of the first production cars to feature race-proven spool-valve dampers. The spool-valve damper allows 4-way adjustment to precisely tune both bump and rebound settings for high-speed and low-speed wheel motions. The wider tuning range dramatically increases the damper stiffness on +Chevrolet Camaro  Z/28 without significantly impacting ride quality.


The all-new driver and front passenger racing seats are designed by +RECARO Office Line . Aggressive bolsters ensure both passenger and driver remain firmly planted, even in high-energy driving situations. A flat-bottom steering wheel opens leg room for entry and exit, as well as quicker heel/toe shifting. A short-throw shifter allow for rapid, confident shifting.

Now at first They Tricked me in the Video Thinking the car had an +3M Schweiz wrap but it was actually the Optional Matte Pearl White or Matte Grey Paint option. The Z/28 will be a late 2014 introduction to the North American Market. I went on Chevy Website an was going build one online but the option is not available as of yet.

The other Vehicle that Caught my attention was the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe Black Concept they Debut at +SEMA Show. This is a new trend that we are seeing in the Automotive Industry. All the options are avaiable from the factory option. From the blacked out taillights to the blacked out LED head Lights. They will offer a Custom set of Black 22' wheels and factory 10% window tint to complete the Transformation. The rims option is $6800.00 alone which you can get a set of nice +Vossen Wheels which the stock option look real similar to and the $600.00 Tint option you can get at your local +12VOLTS Car audio shop for much less. I know at +Delreycustoms we tint an SUV for 199.99 after our +LivingSocial  deals. The Black Diamond Concept is also available on the Avalanche for 2014 lineup. The new 2015 Colorado was available at the show but it look like a +Toyota USA Tacoma so I assumed the car was in the wrong booth. But The Colorado will be available and Its rounded out and much smoother and sleeker than the predecessor. I have been doing something this year and having some fun is going on the web site and creating a DRC edition of the Vehicles. I actually bought a Colorado back in 2004 when it was first introduced from +Tom Bell Chevrolet in Redlands, CA. So looking over the Options and colors from  On Line Configurator. Good news is the car will hit the market in Fall 2014. Bad news is it's not in on the website either. So Here our take on the 2014 Camero SS. Well start with the 2SS platform, Summit White Exterior with the Black/Red Interior. Wheels we will go with the stock Black 20".  The car will Load the SS LE1 Performance Package Automatically, Short throw shifter, 6 speed Manual Transmission, I actually know how to drive and Have an +SCCA San Francisco Region Class A license.  Well I give up Try the online configuration at your own risk the GM Site keeps freezing I think we need to get +Verizon FiOS at the shop so I can have a good connection. I hope you enjoved this article Check us out online. Subscribe, Share , +1 me or share this to face book. I hope +Car and Driver Magazine +Auto Trader +Top Gear USA +Top Gear America Some on runs this article. Hell I would kill for a share on +Auto Blog +Automobile Magazine +Automotive News +Hot Rod Media +Hot Rod Magazine +YouTube Creators Some one some where must be +Here, Read This or +Bloggers Network may crash!!!

Thank You and Good Night!!!!

2014 Corvette Stingray C7 Z51 LA Auto Show Interview with Heather Rocket Bunny, Hennessey HPE-700, Phadt Racing

So... With all that being said now I will offer my Opinion on the Z51 Corvette Stingray and the C7.

1. The Base Corvette C7 price is right around $51,000 your driving a Corvette. It's actually$5000 cheaper than the Camaro ZL-1. The ZL-1 is 530 stock supercharged horsepower with the 3.2 quarter mile time the C7 is 460 HP and a 3.8 0-60 time.  Now like most auto manufactures Base price is a Base Price. Most of the time to find a true base model your going have to special order it. The Z51 Stingray Performance package and the 3LT interior package is where most of these are going start and that is around the $61,810 starting price point. Once again the Base model with the top level interior package and standard features and the Z51 50 HP upgraded horsepower package. We Build one online at Corvette Build and Price and we wern't to bad around $72,410 full rocking and rolling with lots of carbon fiber.

2014 Porsche Macan S & Macan Turbo Have Landed! 2013 LA Auto Show Coverage 918 SPYDER

The all-new Macan, the first sports car in the compact SUV segment from Porsche, is available for order now with first units to be delivered in the second quarter of next year, the Porsche Centre Doha of Al Boraq Automobiles has announced.
"Featuring exceptional acceleration, vast engine power, extreme agility and optimum steering precision, the Macan is set to rewrite the rulebook on outstanding sporting comfort and everyday usability," a spokesperson said.
The name Macan comes from the Indonesian word for tiger. The sporty DNA of the Macan as with all Porsche vehicles, is immediately recognisable in the design. The wrap-around bonnet and gently sloping roof line accentuate the overall impression of sporty elegance and powerful dynamics.
Many of the design elements have been taken from other Porsche sports cars and enhanced for the Macan, which comes in three models.
The Macan S is equipped with a 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine delivering 340 hp and also features an active all-wheel drive with an electronically controlled, map-controlled multi-plate clutch. This all-wheel drive is fitted on all Macan models.
The Macan is equipped with the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) which transfers power as required and almost free of interruption in tractive force. This enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds (or 5.2 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package fitted).
The vehicle reaches a top speed of 254 km/h, and its New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) fuel consumption figures are between 9.0 and 8.7 litres/100 km, which corresponds to a CO2 emissions level of between 212 and 204 g/km.
The Macan S Diesel is the economical long-distance runner of the three Macan models. Its 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel engine achieves NEDC fuel consumption figures of between 6.3 and 6.1 litres/100 km, which corresponds to a CO2 value of between 164 and 159 g/km.
The Macan S Diesel accelerates from 0 to 100 km in 6.3 seconds (or 6.1 seconds with the Sport Chrono package fitted) thanks to its 258-hp engine, and achieves a top speed of 230 km/h.
As the top derivative in the Macan model line, the Macan Turbo is set to be the most powerful vehicle in the compact SUV segment. The 3.6-litre V6 biturbo engine, which is being used in a Porsche model for the very first time, achieves 400 hp and catapults the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. With the Sport Chrono package fitted, this speed can be reached in just 4.6 seconds.
Although the top speed is 266 km/h, the Macan Turbo delivers NEDC fuel consumption figures of between just 9.2 and 8.9 litres/100 km, which equates to a CO2 value of between 216 and 208 g/km.
The Macan is also being promoted as a nimble yet tenacious off-roader. The latest stage of evolution of the all-wheel drive -- known as Porsche Traction Management (PTM) -- has produced one of the world's most powerful drive systems.
The range of equipment fitted on the Macan as standard is extensive, and includes the all-wheel drive, PDK, multi-function sport steering wheel with shift paddles, large wheels, high-performance audio system and an electrically operated tailgate.
The Macan is the only vehicle in its segment with air suspension system, which comes as standard. The list of optional special equipment includes the Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, which distributes varying levels of drive torque to the rear wheels and works in conjunction with an electronically controlled rear-axle differential lock.
Also coming as an option is the Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus, which continuously adjusts the headlight level in keeping with the traffic ahead and any oncoming traffic.
The basic retail prices in the GCC are as follows: Macan S Diesel - $67,800; Macan S - $68,930; and Macan Turbo $95,080.

2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Review with Saturn Killed. 2013 Looxcie 3. La Auto Show Experience.

http://www.lincoln.com/cars/mkz/hybrid/
The 2014 Lincoln MKZ ranks 23 out of 23 Upscale Midsize Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Lincoln MKZ, as well as reliability and safety data.
Most automotive critics think the 2014 Lincoln MKZ pales in comparison to its competition due to its lackluster handling, cheap interior materials and confusing infotainment system.
The 2014 Lincoln MKZ comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that reviewers say has decent acceleration. That engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, which test drivers think shifts smoothly. The EPA reports that the 2014 MKZ gets up to 22/33 mpg city/highway, which is better than the fuel economy of most upscale midsize cars. A V6 engine is optional, and automotive journalists think that it provides quick acceleration, although several prefer the mix of power and fuel economy that the base MKZ offers. The MKZ Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 45/45 mpg city/highway, which is excellent for an upscale midsize car and fairly good for a hybrid, and reviewers say that it delivers adequate acceleration. Most test drivers agree that lackluster handling keeps the 2014 Lincoln MKZ from being any fun behind the wheel, but they think it has a fairly comfortable ride.
Many critics say the interior of the 2014 Lincoln MKZ is full of substandard materials, though some still find it attractive. Some automotive writers think the front seats are comfortable, while others think they're too narrow, but almost all test drivers feel that the rear seat lack sufficient headroom. The gas-only MKZ has good trunk space for an upscale midsize car. Reviewers say the standard MyLincoln Touch infotainment system, which controls audio, navigation and climate functions, is slow and unresponsive, which make it difficult to use. The 2014 Lincoln MKZ also comes standard with leather upholstery and SYNC, which allows you to control your smartphone using voice commands.
Options include a panoramic moonroof, navigation, a blind spot monitoring system, adaptive cruise control, a lane-keeping system and a system that automatically steers you into a parallel parking space.
If you're looking for even better fuel economy, the 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 45/45 mpg city/highway, which is excellent for an upscale midsize car and quite good for a hybrid luxury car. The MKZ Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that combine to make 141 horsepower. The hybrid powertrain is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
The Lincoln MKZ and MKZ Hybrid have standard front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is optional on gas-only models. The MKZ and MKZ Hybrid come standard with the Lincoln Drive Control (LDC) system, which can alter suspension and steering characteristics and has Normal, Comfort and Sport settings. Several reviewers say that the MKZ handles fairly well in tight turns, though they stress that it can't match its German sport sedan rivals. Many test drivers agree that ride quality and handling depend on the LDC setting, with Comfort yielding a slightly floaty, but well-isolated ride and Sport providing a ride that is a firm but well-controlled. One critic thinks that the Normal LDC setting yields a very unpleasant ride that is both sloppy and unrefined. Steering feel changes with the LDC setting, and automotive journalists generally agree that it is slightly numb but accurate. They write that the gas model's brakes are decent for the class, while the hybrid model's regenerative brakes are a bit touchier. Still, that's a common complaint about regenerative braking systems in hybrid cars.

Motor 4 Toys Super Car Sunday Charity Event Lamborghini Aventador LP 720-4 Al & Ed's Autosound and Delreycustoms

Motor 4 Toys is an annual event that takes place the first Sunday of December at Super Car Sunday. This year they raised more than 700 toys for Family in needs and was held at the Anthem Blue Cross Building In Woodland Hills, CA. We happen to have a Very Rare Lamborghini Aventador LP 720-4 50th Anniversario in the 2013 Al & Ed's LA Auto Show Booth that we just had to get to the show on time. So Saturday night we let Moto 4 Toys "steal" it from the booth and had a fun time driving in indoors in Kentia Hall. Saturn, Eric of the Al & Ed's Northridge got bored so we made this video with Barry of AE Corporate behind the Wheel.

 

 

Motor4Toys.com - It's all about the kids!

 

This will be our biggest year yet!  Our 10 year anniversary, can you believe it!  TEN YEARS!  Thank you all so very much for your years of support!  Please invite all of your friends, clubs, enthusiasts.

We are accepting sponsor applications.

Can we do a toy drive at your school or business?

Can’t make the event, donate online at: www.motor4toys.com   All proceeds go to the children!

 

We were honor and privilege  to be able to have this opportunity to help out Motor 4 Toys.

Now back to this amazing car....   Only 200 are going to be made and individually serialized. It is the most powerful Lamborghini Aventador to date with 720 HP, V-12 6.5 liter 12 cylinder engine and all wheel drive. Barring the 50th Anniversary special logos and color it is a automatic head turner. Has a completely unique rear end with expansive meshwork and an enlarged diffuser to greatly improve engine cooling. 

The front air intakes have been enlarged and the front Areo splitters have been extended small flaps set inside to improve air flow and aerodynamic. 

The Interior is as special as the color of the car. Lamborghini choose extremely fine, natural, semi-aniline leather with an exclusive q-citura stitch and the diamond pattern to really enhance the vehicle. The craftsmanship on this car is top notch Italian in style and luxury. 

 

 

Now we know how special this car is, so it needs the best accessories in the industry. 

We added a 9500ci For the ultimate radar and laser defence system this car is made to be driven very fast and last thing you want it to get pulled over for not knowing there is radar enforcement in the area. the Passport 9500ci will make you as stealth as you can legally be in most states. 

For the Audio we started with Focal Utopia Kit Be No. 7 which are the finest speakers we have to offer at Al & Ed's and Delreycustoms. The doors were had fabricated to incorporate the 3 way system ( thats 6 speakers) and custom carbon fiber and lexan was used to design the door pods. For a Sub a Hand crafted box using the same OEM Diamond stitch was called for and Kenwood provides the Low end with a shallow 10 inch sub. At the Helm a full custom boot was engineered to hold all the extra electronics and a custom amp rack to keep the flow and the feel of the car. Alpine PDX amps are powering they system and for the ultimate tune on the audio system the Rockord Fosgate was installed to make sure this is the most well put together system. All and all a 11 on a scale of 1-10 and the sound and install perfectly complement this Italian masterpiece of Luxury, Power, Style and Class.

1966 SHELBY GT350 AND 2015 FORD MUSTANG SUPER SNAKE DEBUT LA AUTO SHOW

     To be completely honest Ford Motor Company had a very weak showing at the 2013 LA Auto Show. For one of the Largest booth at the Auto show this year there were only 3 things that stood out to me and one of the was a Video Game. Lets do this in order. The best part of Ford's Blue Oval Booth was the Ford ST Simulator. This has to be the coolest simulator I have ever seen.  It look like it was build by Disney for Ford and is the closest you can get to a real Driving Experience. Full 360 degree rotation simulating drifting into the corner and the mechanical pitched up to 50 degrees vertical and 40 degrees decent giving the rider the full driving experience of going up and down the hills. We would love to drive the Nurburgring in a sweet SMS Saleen S7 or the Galpin GTR-1. For God sakes give me at least a Ford GT40.  

     The two flaws in the system. Ford was only giving people one lap at Laguna Seca Raceway which is not even enough time to get comfortable with the controls of the simulator.  Basically two minutes and the experience is over. The next issue we had was your were driving a Fiesta ST??? Really? A state of the are simulator where It look like you can go full Top Gun F-16 Tom Cat or fly with R2-D2 and attack the Empire in a full F wing Squadron. Lucky for DRC we hade our good friends at Looxcie send us the new Looxcie 3 wearable camera to capture all the action at the LA Auto Show.

Here is Clip of the Ford ST Driving Simulator

 

   Next Stop Was the New Super Snake that had a nice set of Forgiato Wheels on it and Look to Have a slight wide body kit. Classic Mustang with the Ford Pearl White and Blue Racing stripes. It was well done and put together. The New Ford Mustang ST was also at the show but they really went big on Wed December 4 2013 by having a full press review at Mann's Grauman"s TCL Chinese Theater. The Name changes all the time it seem like and they now have in cement the Ford Pony Logo and the Factory Tire Marks of the 2015 Mustang. Already a Celebrity in Hollywood and hasn't even done anything, Typical Hollywood Starlett.

   The entire car has changed all the way down to the floor pans. For the much anticipated 50th anniversary, the pony car will come with 3 available engines: 3.7L V6; 2.3L EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder; and Coyote 5.0L V8. Outside, the car has seen many changes. Of course, we’ll let you decide for yourself. In the meantime, here’s our take on Ford’s all-new 2015 Ford Mustang. We cover the engine, brakes, exterior and interior as well as some of the features and options.

The 2015 Ford Mustang GT is a sight to see up close, with sleek lines and an aggressive grille, the car is drastically different than its predecessor. The Mustang GT will come with a Coyote motor capable of a projected 420 hp, the same as the 2014 version. We’re not positive, but we’d bet Ford will try to get more power from the engine.

Backing-up the all-aluminum Coyote motor will be either a six-speed manual transmission or optional six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. We noticed Brembo brakes peeking out from behind the large rims on the GT version at the TCL Chinese Theater. All Mustangs will come with four-wheel power disc brakes. The 3.7L and 2.3L Mustangs will come with 12.6-inch, twin-piston brakes up front, while the 5.0L Mustang GT will have 13.9-inch, four-piston brakes behind the front wheels. We’ve also gotten word that the car will retain an independent rear suspension.

Until 2015 gets here in 4 months or so by Auto Industry Standards we have photo of the 2014 Super Snake GT500 Ford Mustang to hold you over as well as a few Focus and Fiesta ST for the baller's on a Budget out there. Also Ford and Hot Wheels did a 2014 Transit Van to look likes something out of the Fast and The Furious Movie Franchise. The FF7 Hot Wheels Van was Cool but GM did the Hot Wheels theme last year on the 2014 Camaro SS so it was a little cheesey to see Ford Copy the Concept Car Hot Wheels theme. 



    Finally The only car in the Ford Booth to make any sense was the 1966 Shelby GT 350. As stated above it is the 50th anniversary of the Mustang. It first hit show rooms in 1964 with a 286 pony and a 302 option. Ford has come along ways since then and Carroll Shelby help pioneer the Mustang and most of the Racing heritage of this car not to mention gave us the beautiful highly sought after Ford Cobra. The Shelby GT 350 was the muscle car of the era and started the Horsepower Wars of the Late 60's until 1972 when DOT (Department of Transportation) came down with a ton of safety regulations (like smog and seatbelts).

For 1966, the GT 350 lost its Mustang tag and was marketed simply as the Shelby GT 350.The new model year also saw the introduction of non-white colors, including blue, red, green, and black. Other changes included special rear quarter-panel windows replacing the factory extractor vents, functional brake scoops on each side, and optional SelectShift 3-speed auto trans, as well as an optional Paxton supercharger. The battery was no longer relocated to the trunk for 1966, and the over-rider traction bars were discontinued. The normal factory fold-down rear seat was optional. While early 1965 cars had black engine blocks, 1966 and later cars had their engines painted the regular factory Ford dark blue. The 1966 models came with a dual-exhaust exiting in the rear.

The first 252 GT 350s for 1966 began as 1965 Mustang K-Code Fastbacks. These cars were specifically ordered by Shelby for conversion into 1966 GT 350s. Upon delivery to Shelby-American, the cars were randomly picked for conversion. The Shelby VINs do not correspond in numerical order with Ford VINs. The Ford VINs were shipped in 'blocks,' but many differ significantly because the order they were taken for conversions.

Total production for 1966 was 1,373 fastbacks, including two prototypes and four drag cars, and the 252 early production models with Ford Mustang 1965 bodies. The Hertz rental company ordered 1,003 fastbacks, including two prototypes. Four Convertiable were also produced, for a total of 2,378 units for 1966. A small number of the 1966 models were fitted from the factory with Paxton Supercharger, but not the No-Spin LSD Differental; with an option price of US$670, the engine was rated at 440 hp (330 kW) 

If you're in the market for a 1965-1966 Shelby GT350 plan on dropping a cool $180K+ is what an original excellent condition goes for at auction. 

 

Well That was Ford in a Nutshell.

2015 Kia K900 World Debut & SOUL Special Edition!!! Live via LOOXCIE! LA AUTO SHOW

Kia's new flagship sedan debuted in the Korean domestic market (KDM, yo!) as the K9 sedan. But during its trip to the 2013 LA Auto Show, the name was changed to the 2015 Kia K900. Maybe it's because 900 is a bigger number than 9; but I think that it was changed to avoid all of the "Kia's flagship is a dog" jokes that the brand's detractors were poised to make.
Kia needn't worry about any dog jokes coming from Car Tech's editors, because the K900 is essentially a brand-engineered clone of the Hyundai Equus premium sedan -- a vehicle that picked up our Editors' Choice nod in back in August -- so we're expecting nothing but good things from this rear-drive sedan.
However, the K900 isn't exactly a badge job. While its wheelbase and chassis dimensions are nearly identical to the Equus, the overall length is a bit shorter. What's more, the design of the sheetmetal is completely different, stretching the automaker's
Tiger Nose design language over the large sedan's frame.
Under the hood, the K900 share's its cousin's 5.0-liter Tau V-8 engine, which uses direct-injection to wring 420 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque from Premium fuel. (The Equus, interestingly is rated at 429 horses on Premium and 421 horses on Regular gas, so there may be a slightly different tune for the Kia.) That power flows through the same Hyundai 8-speed automatic on its way to the rear wheels.
The K900 is also available in a V-6 configuration, this time packing the 3.8-liter Lambda V-6 that is normally found powering the Hyundai Genesis sedan. Output is stated at 311 horsepower and 293 pound-feet of torque, which also flows through an 8-speed automatic gearbox, but with different ratios than the V-8 model's.
Fuel economy has yet to be determined by the EPA, but I wouldn't be surprised to see numbers similar the the Equus' 15 city, 23 highway, and 18 combined estimates.
The cabin -- specifically, the dashboard -- is where the the Kia K900 will most separate itself from Hyundai, as the two automakers use completely different infotainment systems.
A trim level called the V-8 VIP will be available, boasting a 12.3-inch TFT digital instrument cluster, which can be reconfigured to different themes. A Technology package for both V-6 and V-8 will also add the automaker's first implementation of a full-color head-up display for speed, turn-by-turn navigation, and alerts for the safety technologies.
Safety tech will include staples such as blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, Front and rear park-assist sensors and cameras. The V-8 model will come standard with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and opting for the VIP package nets the four-camera Around View Monitor system. Also available are active cruise control and forward collision warning.
