2014 DODGE VIPER SRT TRACK ATTACK EDITION 2013 LA AUTO SHOW

Le Mans Viper driver Tommy Kendall summed up the SRT Viper TA perfectly in two sentences: “The best thing about this car is that it will do exactly what you tell it to do. And the worst thing about this car is that it will do exactly what you tell it.” He’s not kidding. Turn it too quickly, or get too deep into the 8.4-liter V-10 in the middle of a corner—in just about any gear—and the rear end will break loose, putting up a serious fight against the driver’s control of the beast. This track-focused model is obedient, but it demands deference. It’s the automotive equivalent of a circus tiger; one wrong move and you’re going to be in a world of hurt.

A TA—it stands for “Track Attack,” so you can get your mind out of the gutter—starts life as a base Viper and gets a host of alterations made with a single focus: lowering lap times. These include Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, two small carbon-fiber splitters with a replaceable wear strip, new damper tuning, 20-percent-stiffer springs, a 35-percent-stiffer front anti-roll bar, a 31-percent-stiffer rear anti-roll bar, a high camber alignment, reworked brake rotors and pads, and a carbon-fiber engine-bay brace and rear spoiler. Orange stitching on the cloth interior does not make you any faster; it just feels that way. The engine, the gearbox, and the shifter are the same as those found in base cars.

For those who have made such changes to personal cars, that list might sound a little skimpy, considering the TA commands a $16,000 premium over the $104,480 base car, but the changes are certainly quantifiable. For example, those little splitters and the spoiler help produce a claimed 460 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. Compared with the base car’s 75 pounds at 150 mph, the additional downward push is not only significant but also advantageous on a racetrack. The only downside to the extra downforce is its attendant increase in drag, which means the TA tops out at 193 mph, SRT says, 13 mph lower than the base Viper.

The aggressive alignment, which we’re told is the maximum camber the stock suspension would allow, certainly helps midcorner grip, but it also delivers whip-crack turn-in and reduced tire wear over extended lapping. Reaching the grip limit, however, requires a tender touch. We heeded Kendall’s words as we gently explored the car’s limits at California’s intimidating Willow Springs International Raceway. Every lap, we braked later, entered corners faster, and built speed through the big track’s huge, fast sweepers. The key to mastering something as raw as the Viper TA is to build steadily on prior laps rather than try to lop off huge chunks of time

Honda Concept Car FCEV Fuel Cell Vehicle 2013 LA Auto Show Coverage

Honda has promised a new fuel-cell powered car for 2015, previewing the potential styling of the eco-friendly car with its FCEV Concept. Improving on power, efficiency, passenger space, and design over the Honda FCX Clarity, the FCEV Concept develops over 100kW from its fuel-cell stack, cladding it in an aerodynamically creased body shell and promising 300 miles of range.

Whereas an electric car can take anything from 30 minutes to several hours to recharge – the Cadillac ELR we tested earlier this week takes around 4.5hrs to charge its battery, assuming you have a 240V supply – Honda says the FCEV Concept refuels in a fraction of that time. In fact, given a 70 MPa supply, it can fill up its hydrogen tanks in around three minutes.

Of course, that requires actually having a hydrogen infrastructure to hook the FCEV up to, which is something else Honda is working on. The company inked a deal with GM to develop a fuel-cell network for launch in 2020 in the US.

Inside the FCEV there’s space for five, thanks to a more power-dense fuel-cell stack that, despite being a third smaller than before, now has a 60-percent higher power density. The whole powertrain can now fit under the hood, rather than being spread out through the car.

Honda is keen to point out that the FCEV Concept is, just as its name suggests, a concept and not exactly what the eventual production car in 2015 will necessarily look like. Still, that road-going version will take cues from the concept

Cadillac Elmiraj Super CAR! La Auto SHOW 2013! LOOXCIE 3 HD CAMERA!

A PURE EXPRESSION OF STREAMLINED

DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE

A modern update to the classic format of a two-door grand coupe, Elmiraj provides a look inside the Cadillac Studio to see how our designers envision performance and luxury for the next generation of luxury drivers. The long dash-to-axle front profile, a Cadillac signature, gives the coupe a performance-oriented form. The long wheelbase and clean bodyside characterizes the car’s spacious dimensions and elevated status.

Elmiraj advances our philosophy of provocative modern design and engaging rear-wheel drive performance, with a 4.5-liter twin turbocharged V8 delivering an estimated 500 hp. The engine takes the baseline technology from the Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 and expands it to the classic performance format of a V8 engine.

Also we got a few Photos of the 2014 Cadillac ELR Electric luxury car. The ELR is available at your local Cadillac Dealership to order. Remember the charger. I can't Believe were now a society that has to remember to plug or cars and cell phones in before we go to bed.

Discreet Installation

The 9500ci provides the ultimate in custom installation. All sensors utilize our modular connections to the interface, and our new miniature control module and display provide multiple installation options, giving more install flexibility. Color-coded cables for easy connection and reduced installation time.

Breakthrough Radar Performance

Our new twin-antenna design gives the PASSPORT 9500ci the ability to dissect each specific radar signal and provide the most accurate long-range warning possible. It's also completely undetectable-perfect for drivers who like to run unnoticed.

Precise Laser Protection

Our new Laser receivers/"Shifters" are now more effective than ever. Multiple sensors, (both front and rear) have increased sensitivity for receiving and we've increased our ability to effectively "Shift" incoming laser signals, including the double-pulse guns. They're also easier to install using a newly designed clamp-mount which eliminates drilling holes in the vehicle.

Smart Performance

The PASSPORT 9500ci will vary its sensitivity based on the speed of the vehicle. At interstate speeds, all radar bands are at full sensitivity. At slower speeds, X and K-band sensitivity is reduced, but providing plenty of range at that speed. Parked or at a stop light, the 9500ci is smart enough to know that you're not at risk and will only alert if a real threat is present. This is truly the smartest detector eve
