New 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo, even better!

Faster, strong, and better! This basically sums up the new 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo. The New Type 991 generation of Porsche’s 911 Turbo and Turbo S gets an all new all-wheel drive with active rear axle steering, adaptive aerodynamics, and full LED headlights.

Perhaps the main highlight will be the new Porsche 911 Turbo S, which produces 560hp (412kW) from the 3.8-Litre flat 6-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine, while the 911 Turbo without the S gets 520hp. Controlling the power is the famed 7-speed dual clutch transmission (PDK), and the Porsche 911 also comes with auto stop-start function. The chassis has also been revamped, and is now 100mm longer.

In terms of raw performance figures, 0-100km/h (0-62mph) is done in just 3.2 seconds for the Porsche 911 Turbo, and 3.1 seconds for the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Top speed is a stellar 317km/h.

For the first time, the new Porsche 911 Turbo models will receive The PorscheDynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active anti-roll system, which increases the dynamic performance potential of the Porsche 911’s handling characteristics. This system is standard equipment on the 911 Turbo S, together with the Sport Chrono Package Plus incorporating dynamic engine mounts, and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB). These are also each available on the 911 Turbo.

As a consequence, the 911 Turbo S shortens the benchmark lap time around the Nürburgring-Nordschleife to well under 7 min 30 sec – naturally on standard production tyres. The standard ‘sound symposer’ intensifies the driving experience further still; transmitting induction sounds of the turbo engine to the passenger compartment via a speaker diaphragm.

Maserati Presents The All-New Maserati Ghibli To Debut In Shanghai

Maserati has unveiled the official images for their new 4-door sports saloon, which will be seen in flesh at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month (April 2013). 

Dubbed the Ghibli, Maserati aims to create a new benchmark with its sportier character as compared to the larger Maserati Quattroporte. The Maserati Ghibli will feature a turbocharged  3.0-litre V6 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Maserati Ghibli's will be able to switch between rear wheel drive and the new "Q4" all-wheel drive system.

The Ghibli will also become the first Maserati production car in history to be powered by a diesel engine, with a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel.

Proton Saga FLX 1.3 Manual Bolt on Turbo

It has a been a while; although I just got the car for around 7 months, I decided to add on a bolt on turbo system to the car.

The 1.3L Campro is running on a TD04 from a Subaru (13T if I'm not mistaken). Didn't boost much, as the management is still not installed yet. Planning to go for Works EMS! Overall the project was cost efficient and neat, running on 2 inch custom made intercooler piping.

Will post the updates after I have managed to dyno tune the car! For more mean time, enjoy my small bolt on turbo 1.3L Campro Proton Saga FLX!

UPDATE: Fuel efficiency without any manage is at 8-10km/L. Not too bad. Managed to get 12-13km/L at one point (believe it or not!) by tuning the fuel pressure regulator, but the ECU adjusted and it went back to "normal".
