counterpart, a small price to pay for everyday comfort I think.

Another iconic vehicle that was launched in its 6th generation this month is the Volkswagen Golf 6 GTI, the DSG gearbox option available in this model is one of the best types of automatic gearboxes available.

This gives the driver the comfort of an auto but the exact same performance as the manual from 0 – 100 km/h, with the DSG only really out in the top speed department, where it is a whole 2 km/h slower. The DSG gearbox offers lightning fast gearchanges both up and down through the box. When accelerating, for instance, in third gear, fourth has already been pre-selected. The only difference is that while third gear’s clutch is closed, fourth’s is open. The advantage, of course, is that when the time arrives to actually upshift, it’s a simple matter of disengaging one clutch and engaging the other; no actual gear movement needs be made. It’s this elimination of the gear selection process that makes it so rapid. Clutch actuation is a relatively simple and quick process compared with moving gears around. It’s why these double-clutch transmissions are so much speedier than either manual gearboxes or the single-clutch automated versions such as BMW’s SMG. Acceleration is quicker because there’s less of a pause between gears, and the entire process adds more control since gear selection is so precise. This gearbox, like many, also does still offer a element of driver involvement as gears can be changed by pushing or pulling on the lever or using the F1 style paddles.

Even in racing applications the manual gearbox is dying out, any proper rally car uses a sequential gearbox, while Formula One has the paddle shift steering wheel system and even World Touring car contenders such as the SEAT 57 Car & Leisure 04 Issue

The new BMW Z4 comes with new high-performance brakes, fading-free characteristics, low weight, and low brake pad wear. At the same time the BMW Z4 is the first car in its segment to feature an electrical parking brake activated and released by a button on the centre console.

The latest generation of DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) serves not only to activate the ABS brakes and ensure stability on slippery surfaces by activating the brakes or reducing engine power, but also comprises other functions such as Braking drying, Brake Pre-tensioning as well as a Start-Off Assist on the new BMW Z4. Acting in a similar way to a differential lock, DSC furthermore serves to prevent slip on the inner wheel in a bend running under minor load or no load whatsoever under dynamic, one-sided driving conditions.

Activating the traction mode again at the touch of a button, the driver is able to raise the response thresholds for intervention by the brakes, thus enjoying the option, for example,

ing and maneuvering in close quarters. A VTS (Variable Trim System) is also integrated into the iBR system. This intuitive VTS allows the rider to easily fine-tune performance to suit personal preference and enhance handling. The iBR also allows the rider to pre-set up and down positions using handlebar-mounted buttons. The rider can also make on-the-fly trim adjustments of +/- 4 degrees to accommodate changing water or load conditions.

Also new is the stepped hull design on the RXT iS 255 model. On the S3 hull, the “step” is aft of the intake and reduces drag by creating a low-pressure zone. The benefit is more nimble handling and keeping the hull “glued to the water”. When combined with the VTS the stepped hull delivers precise, tunable handling.

The RXT iS 255 S3 hull delivers a smoother, more stable ride. With its Deep-V design, narrow chine and 353 cm length, the new S3 hull is exceptionally stable. The hull design is very tolerant to lateral wave impacts, resulting in very little roll or change in direction from this cross motion. What’s more, the longer length provides more room for passengers and allows the hull to bridge waves better for a smoother ride.

The S3 hull makes the RXT iS 255 exceptionally strong. Stiffer than other hull designs thanks to its ribbed construction, the S3 has the strength to better resist damage from impacts and maintain its shape even under high loads.

The new, lightweight hull material is up to 15% lighter than best material currently in use. The S3 hull is built using a closed-mold process, which allows precise control over shape, in addition to increasing manufacturing efficiency and being more environmentally friendly.

Both of these machines feature intelligent technology and awesome looks to match.

The fact is that, worldwide, automatic vehicles are becoming more and more popular, so much so that in 2008, 57 percent of sports cars sold were equipped with an automatic gearbox of sorts. Enthusiasts now also have a choice of transmissions to have fitted to their 370Z, the automatic combines the traffic easing convenience of a full automatic with an element of driver involvement thanks to the use of the semi automatic paddle shift.

For the true enthusiast a manual is still available but it too benefits from Nissans technology wand. The manual now features the worlds first SynchroRev matching six speed manual transmission fitted to the 370Z. The perfect harsh downshift is one which stabilises the vehicle entering bends at full commitment by matching engine revs with road speed so that the reengagement of the clutch does not unsettle the car, which previously needed an experienced driver to pull off. With this new system the manual transmission delivers the same levels of peerless dynamic execution to a much broader driver base by providing the ideal downshift every time thanks to an electronic blip of the throttle at the precise moment for both up and down shifts.

Dynamically the chassis is now shorter which means even sharper agility, as well as lower for improved body control in all situations while extra width increases lateral grip. The 370Z also benefits from cleverly calculated weight distribution. While most believe that a 50/50 split is ideal, the 370Z has a 53/47 weight distribution formula which places more weight over the front wheels, helping with turn in, but it shifts to a perfect 50/50 as the driver unleashes all the power as they exit a corner. Electronic Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) systems ensure that even when pushing the limits of the vehicle the driver is kept as safe as possible thanks to sensors monitoring all four wheels and software that will step in instantly to put an end to life threatening slides.

Inside, the cabin is certainly roomier, while cabin materials have been substantially improved. The comfortable sport seats feature leather upholstery with high grip cloth inserts and are electrically adjustable and have built in heating elements for those chilly mornings.

traditional cruise control system, ensuring stress free trips on the motorway. If the distance to the vehicle ahead decreases too quickly, the system gives the driver visual and audible warnings.

With seven airbags as standard, belt tensioners, belt force limiters, crash responsive head restraints and ISOFIX child seat attachments, the new E-Class has even more extensive safety features than the preceding model. Another standard feature is the PRE-SAFE system that activates precautionary protective measures in potentially hazardous situations, so that the seat belts and airbags are able to fulfil their protective function to the full during an impact.

Apart from being an extremely safe car the E-class is also an extremely comfortable car, continuing to set the standards for long distance comfort. In this new model engineers have achieved further advances with the new saloon, especially where ride, seating and climate comfort are concerned. Standard equipment includes a further improved suspension with adaptive shock absorbers. These automatically adapt to the current driving situation by reducing the damping forces when driving normally and therefore improving ride comfort. When taking bends at speed the system switches to maximum damping effect. The AVANTGARDE line features dynamic damping characteristics and a lowered suspension.

The new E-class will be the downfall of the indecisive, it provides Mercedes customers with a choice of several engines and three suspension variants, but also two design and equipment lines, three wheel/tyre combinations in 16, 17 and 18 inch size, twelve exterior paint finishes and six different seat upholstery materials. The choice of interior trim has also been increased, now including high gloss exotic wood, open pored wood and brushed aluminium trim.

TESTED

Chevrolet Lumina SS

Bang for Buck T

he Chevrolet Lumina SS has been around for a while now, and for the newest generation muscle car, General Motors has subtly updated

the interior as well as the technology coupled to the automatic version for better fuel economy – all still with the driver in mind. The result is all the raw power you would expect, tempered by a degree of refinement that provides a responsive and enjoyable driving experience.

The Lumina sedan has undergone evolutionary processes throughout the years, and the latest minor updates serves to add to that process.

Sourced from General Motors in Australia, this model range has topped that country’s car market for many consecutive years. The vehicle was specifically designed for left-hand-drive and right-hand-drive applications, making use of clever ideas such as an integrated handbrake function so that the model platform could potentially enter any market around the world.

The Lumina is still a vehicle for people looking for a spacious, well-equipped vehicle that pro-

vides exceptional power at an affordable price.

More than just a mere performer, the Lumina range is surprisingly refined – offering excellent luxury, safety and convenience.

The Lumina offers stylish and dynamic lines that provide a bold presence. The sporty nature of the car is emphasised by the front air dam and rear spoiler that smoothes airflow over the vehicle. Striking 18-inch alloy wheels complete the exterior styling package.

The driver and front seat passenger in the Lumina SS are protected by frontal and thorax airbags while full-length curtain airbags provide protection for both front and rear sections of the cab in the event of a side-on impact.

The Lumina SS boasts sharp handling and good all round stability thanks to a Linear Control Suspension – an advanced four-link system at the rear and multi-link strut system at the front. Stopping power comes with compliments from large fade resistant brakes.

The Lumina SS sedan is a very driveable car with a strong feel, the engine giving responsive and torquey delivery.

The V8 engine is matched to a dual exhaust, quad outlet system that is focussed on ensuring low back pressure, which assists significant increases in gas flow efficiency which in turn helps deliver power and torque increases.

The 6-litre Generation IV V8 still delivers power of 270 KW at 5 700 rpm and torque of 530 Nm and 4 400 rpm. Fuel economy controls, include a regulated voltage control to reduce alternator power consumption. Although we had the manual on test, the electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission version will shut down half of its cylinders when setting cruise control at a 110 km/h. This function further helps with fuel consumption and emissions control.

The Lumina SS is packed with an extensive list of standard equipment: Power steering, remote rear view mirrors, cruise control, power windows, a height and reach adjustable steering wheel, as well as a user-friendly trip computer, including visual and audible warnings for underspeed in addition to overspeed. The driver seat is four-way power adjustable, and the driver and passenger seats offer lumbar support adjustment.

The audio package consists of an in-dash six-CD changer and RDS radio. A high performance amplifier drives the speakers while steering wheel mounted satellite controls provide for easy tuning and adjustment by the driver. The system is Bluetooth cellular compatible.

The Lumina SS is still one of those ultra enjoyable cars that just keeps on entertaining on the drive. The awesome V8 sound and aggressive styling adds up to a very good package, and at the price it offers excellent bang for buck.

The diesel derivative sports a maximum power output of 100 kW @ 4 000 rpm and 320 Nm of torque @ 2 000 rpm. And last, but definitely not least is the 2.5 litre Focus ST, this powerhouse offers 166 kW @ 6 000 rpm and a peak torque of 320 Nm between 1 600 rpm and 4 000 rpm.

But as the Focus is primarily a comfortable mid-range vehicle and not a roadster there is also a good level of emphasis put on safety and reliability. All models will feature ABS braking while Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with Traction Control (TCS) technology will make its debut with the PowerShift system, providing increased stability in any situation. Driver and passenger front airbags are also standard across the range and side curtain airbags are fitted to the high-end Si models. A solid driving experience is also instilled in the new Focus with an excellent chassis, and this coupled with precision steering provides a stable road going platform.

or years Heesen has been one of Holland’s leading manufacturers of performance super yachts. And it seems they have reached the ideal

of design and luxury in their new 50-metre giant, the aptly named Man of Steel. This super yacht is the largest displacement yacht designed

by Heesen throughout their illustrious 30-year history. The Man of Steel’s beautiful design originated from the drawing boards of Omega Architects and features interior design by Marc Wallace. As with most Heesen yachts the Man of Steel continues their design trend of sleek lines and although it’s a different type compared to the speedy 3700 the Man of Steel bears the resemblance in design, including the reverse sheer and pelican-beak bow. And its sheer size is also something to be marveled at with a third deck level topped by an extensive sun deck giving the vessel a much more imposing look.

The interior of this vessel is certainly stunning beyond belief, using a fine combination

Again I am sure many will do the same and get a grumpy sounding bike at the same time, I too have never owned a superbike that I have left the standard pipe on either.

Jumping on the bike before getting ready to blast around the track quickly revealed a comfy seat, decent reach to the bars and adjustable foot pegs for getting the optimal riding position just right. Sure launch day was not going to be the day to be doing multiple adjustments, but even as it was set-up the bike felt good enough to be ridden hard without perceived discomfort.

Sitting there waiting for the green flag also allows one to appreciate the good ergonomics of the K9. The instrument cluster that includes an easy to read rev counter, obligatory gear position indicator, digital speedo and various selectable LCD readouts for trip and stuff is real easy to read.

Letting you know that this around 180 Hp (I think because I couldn’t find a figure that was confirmed on any website) machine is just as ready for the track as it is for breakfast running is the lap timer function that I couldn’t get to work.

like a torquey 600cc liquid-cooled, inline four cylinder engine. This engine was borrowed from Yamaha’s championship winning Supersport bikes but has been optimised for smooth, usable power throughout the rev range. The cylinder head, crankcases, intake and exhaust manifolds as well as the electronic fuel injection system has been revised to create a new engine with unique characteristics. The camshafts have also been redesigned to fit the new shape of the intake system. Revised cam timing reduces lift and duration, taking the peak off the top end power but thickens up the mid-range.

In the chassis department the FZ6R features an all new diamond shaped steel frame which uses the engine as a stressed member, as well as a simple, square steel swingarm. Suspension is handled thanks to a 41 mm fork up front and a SOQI shock out back. The fork is not adjustable but the rear shock has a seven step preload adjuster.

And just because the bike isn’t overly sporty doesn’t mean it can’t look sporty. Stylish bodywork lends the FZ6R a sporty look with aggressive lines borrowed from the YZF-R series, but with more extensive wind protection, which matches the upright seating position and which is needed on a bike that will be ridden everyday in all kinds of weather. The low mounted exhaust keeps the mass centralised while adding to the modern look of the bike.

Stopping is also important in everyday traffic.

This is why standard Brembo master cylinders grace both front and rear ends of the bike.

Upfronts are two 298 mm discs that are clamped by a dual piston calliper while a single piston calliper brings a 245 mm disc at the rear to a stop.

The FZ6R proves to be a formidable opponent for any twisty road thanks to good suspension and great brakes as well as a seating position, right for every rider, that makes it easy to muscle the bike through the corners.

With a focus on low and mid range rideability the FZ6R is a boon about town. It is the ideal commuter with enough mid range snap to keep the traffic light racers happy. The great fuel injection system means it pulls smoothly all the way to the 10 000 rpm redline, while the transmission has a smooth feel throughout the box.

The cherry on the cake has to be the price of R78 000, which is great value for money and even more of a bargain if you look at what a Supersport bike costs these days.
