TECHNOLOGY The furniture’s design is sleek and simple, with smooth edges and few hard lines.

The pieces have just the right amount of a retro vibe that they evoke a feeling of nostalgia without pigeonholing themselves into one time period. Like Bentley’s automobiles, they’re classic, yet distinctive.

By Zoe Zorka Staff Writer Beyond the Bentayga: Bentley Introduces Wifi to its line of lifestyle additions When most people think of doing business “on the go,” it usually means taking a phone call while stuck in rush hour traffic or doing some work during a subway commute. For Bentley owners, their car can now (literally) become an office with the addition of their high-powered, fully functional in-car WiFi system.

Through a partnership with global communications company, Viasat, Bentley unveiled their Advanced Connectivity WiFi system, which, according to their website, is the world’s first superfast, reliable and secure in-car WiFi system. With the wifi system, passengers will be able to access a number of simultaneous entertainment and business applications – including high-definition video streaming across multiple devices – with uninterrupted service quality.

This added feature is just one way that Bentley is hoping to differentiate itself from its competitors by integrating the Bentley brand into the customer’s lifestyle as more than just a luxury car brand.

Unbeknownst to most, Bentley also has a full line of furniture, created in tandem with Luxury Living Group, a brand specializing in high-end furniture partnerships. Just like their namesake automobiles, Bentley’s furniture line is crafted with superior quality and craftsmanship, and naturally, doesn’t come cheap.

According Luxury Living Group, the proposals of Bentley Home give full expression to contemporary luxury with the young, yet sophisticated, aesthetic typical of the British automobile brand.

The Richmond line of sofas and armchairs is one of the highlights of Bentley’s furniture collection. The line, which features sofas, armchairs, and chaise lounges, offers either a veneer finish or leather cover. The eternal wooden frame is made of veneered Ebony Macassar, Chestnut, or Burr Walnut briar-root with a gloss finish while the inner structure is covered in leather or linen or in fine cashmere velvet. Color options offered include a range of white, off-white, and shades of gray.

While Bentley doesn’t offer up any official pricing on their website, their standard Richmond sofa is rumored to be in the area of $14,500.

For those that want to dream about Bentleys during their sleeping moments as well as their waking moments, the Avebury bed is the perfect solution. No standard queen size mattresses here! The Avebury is characterized by the wrap design of the innovative curved shape that “re-edit the British Maison codes in a complement with a sophisticated and modern attitudes.” (To summarize, the bed is round.) The price tag for the bed is speculated to be upwards of $15,000. Bentley doesn’t mention whether or not sheets can be purchased through their collection as well, but it’s a safe bet that whatever bedding goes on the Avebury has a seriously high thread count.

If you’re looking for something a bit smaller, Bentley has a variety of clothing and other gifts on their website.

Since Bentley prides itself on being able to drive in a variety of weather conditions including the cold, it’s important that Bentley owners and fans dress warm. Designed with style and comfort in mind, the Bentley women’s poncho (price tag $344) is made from soft wool and cashmere with a double tunnel collar that features the brand’s iconic matrix grille knitted details on the sides.

MGB – THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY 4TH EDITION The MGB was Britain’s most successful ever sports car, with sales of over half a million.

And the truth is, that more than three decades after production ceased, the MGB’s classic lines, affordability, fun factor and certain ‘rightness’ mean that its enthusiastic following remains undiminished.

In ‘MGB: The Illustrated History’ the authors, self-confessed ‘B’ enthusiasts both, recall the remarkable history of this remarkable car. Originated with full co-operation and contributions from key members of the original design team, including John Thornley, Syd Enever, Don Hayter and Roy Brocklehurst, this book takes the reader behind the scenes at the world-famous MG factory at Abingdon, which closed its doors in 1980 with the demise of the MGB after 18 years in production.

The background to the MGB roadster’s development is first recalled in the context of its immediate predecessor, the MGA, the various famous EX experimental models, and the heritage of MG as a whole. Separate chapters then follow the development, introduction and production of the GT, MGC and V8. Further chapters on the MGB’s competition successes and the RV8 complete the story.

Along with a feast of colour photographs and contemporary brochure material – enough to satisfy even the most ardent MGB lover – the book also features full-colour cutaway illustrations of the three main ‘B’ variants.

Copiously illustrated with contemporary colour photographs and brochure material, and featuring colour cutaway illustrations of the MGB roadster, MGC, MGB GT V8 and MG RV8, this book not only charts the production life of Britain’s best-loved sports car, but also takes the reader behind the scenes at the world-famous Abingdon factory.

This long-awaited 4th edition now includes brand new illustrations of model variants and an original road test report.

SCHLUMPF – THE INTRIGUE BEHIND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR COLLECTION IN THE WORLD This fabulous collection of cars was brought together by two French brothers, Hans & Fritz Schlumpf, and consists of hundreds of the most beautiful cars ever produced. The ‘Schlumpf affair’ is perhaps one of the most famous stories in the car collector’s world, covered extensively by the media in the mid-1970s when the collection was seized by the trade unions and, later, by the French government.

The Schlumpf brothers were accused of fraudulent actions to obtain their collection – but following extensive research by the authors of this book, thetrue story behind the collection is revealed. Ard and Arnoud op de Weegh spent many years investigating the Schlumpf affair, and discovered many previously unpublished documents which prove that the Schlumpf brothers have been wrongly accused over the years. This book is written to tell the true story behind the collection, and also to rehabilitate the Schlumpf family. The book is beautifully illustrated with some rare photographs, and features many of the beautiful cars that make up the Schlumpf Collection.

By Pascal Biarrotte European Correspondent Sometimes I wonder how little do we know about Japanese culture apart from hollywoodian stereotypes or sushi take-aways.

Let’s face it though, from affordable reflex cameras to half the automobiles we cross on our roads everyday, Japan has been setting a worldwide trend to excellency for more than half a century now. Yet our environment has been fashioned, decade after decade by well engineered products, designed to fit our own western world taste and manufactured with german type quality standards.

Over time japanese engineering has been expressing creativity with an infinity of concepts and dreamcars, including numerous participations and victories in racing events such as the East African Safari, European Rallye championships, Formula One, or the 24 hours of Le Mans. They have also successfully brought to the market rotary engined cars and lately the first hybrid sedan available at our local dealers.

Aspark is now pushing evolution further with project Owl, the outstanding very first full electric supercar .

Genesis The Aspark company was founded in 2005 as a provider of automotive engineering resources. After a decade of successful business with the automotive industry, CEO Masamichi Yoshida decided the time had come to go ahead and step into the emerging world of energetic transition with a visionary and exciting pio-

neering project. So in 2014 a specific development team was put to work.

According to CEO Mesanori Yoshida, “My greater vision is to offer further extremely unique premium vehicles to all client levels around the world., but Owl is our starting point and we’ll ensure our success starts here. We have an extremely exciting product and one that we feel sure will rewrite the automotive history books.

We have not been bound by the normal limitations in vehicle design and performance except when it comes down the exclusivity of our product.”

In 2017 a street legal prototype of Owl was premiered at the Frankfurt Motor show with an announced 175mph (280km/h) top speed and 1650lbs (860kg) dry weight generating 490 hp from two motors, a data sheet that surprisingly generated little response.

More interest rose 6 months later after unveiling on a Facebook page a widely shared video showing outstanding performance in acceleration. This second prototype test demonstrated how fast this carbon fiber electric two seater can accelerate, claiming informal multiple records of less than 2 seconds from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) reached on a backyard parking lot in less than 90 feet (30m) with the help of warmed up racing slick tires and obviously much more power than previously announced.

One question remains though, how close to these figures will production cars perform with cold street legal tires and an average commuting driver?

This proves at least that Owl is the fastest accelerating street legal Supercar, and it is just amazing how a totally unknown small Japanese firm can without previous warning can brutally humiliate

the well established creme de la creme manufacturers of petrol guzzling supercars such as Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo and Bugatti.

It will be interesting to see how soon these other manufacturers will wake up and react to the Owl’s figures that outperform their cars that perform with vintage piston technology.

Acceleration is all that really counts on the road with Aspark, with not even a word about road holding or cornering ability.

Nevertheless until our own road testing we may assume from four wheel drive and an extremely low center of gravity both are bound to be excellent.

At the 2018 Paris Motor Show in October, a street-legal version of the Owl with luxurious leather trim interior was luckily exhibited next to Lamborghini and Lotus and its sleek design attracted again a lot of the crowd. The data sheet was also much revised as most of everything was doubled with four motors delivering 1150 bhp on a much heavier dry weight close to 3000lbs (1460 kg) and a claimed extended range up to 190 miles (300km). Only top speed stays unchanged at 175 mph which seems more than excessive in daily use on most states decaying roads, and just a little short for quarter mile drag racing.

As Aspark stated, the Paris Motor Show marks an important milestone in the evolution of the Owl to final specification and just

prior to production which should be achieved in 2020. Yet getting street legal licensing status for a newcomer racing prototype may in itself prove to become another ground breaking challenge in some european countries.

While accelerating performance are beyond every other car on the market, the expected price tag for the car is now defined around $ 3.5 million and company says it is open to pre-orders before production starts. To make it more unique and exclusive, only fifty cars are expected to be released, each personalized to buyer’s specifications.

(50 cars by the way is just the production number once required to allow participation in defined categories of major racing events.

After FIA regulations adapt to accept electric cars. We would certainly love to see participation of the Owl in endurance races and events such as 6 hours of Fuji and Nurburgring or Silverstone, or even the 1000 miles of Sebring and best of all, at the mythical Le Mans 24 hours).

When production time finally comes, history may then prove the pioneering Aspark Owl to become an exclusive and mythical supercar like designer Gerald Wiegert’s still futuristic Vectors has become.

Ferrari Monza SP1

By Sameer Shah Staff Writer The Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 are the forerunners in a new concept, known as ‘Icona’ (Icon) that taps into a leitmotif of the most evocative cars in the company’s history to create a new segment of special limited series cars for clients and collectors. The intention is to use a modern aesthetic to reinterpret a timeless style, with technologically advanced components and the highest performance possible through continuous innovation. The Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 are inspired by barchettas of the 1950s which were driven to victory in international motor sport not just by official works team drivers from the Scuderia, but also by a legion of gentlemen drivers who, in those years, frequently found themselves wheel to wheel with legendary professional drivers of the era.

The first ever Ferrari to be referred to as a barchetta was the open-top version of the 1948 166 MM. The name was coined by Giovanni Agnelli who, upon seeing the car for the first time at the Turin Motor Show that year, commented that it was less like a car and more like a barchetta, referring to the Italian for a small speed boat. The Touring-bodied 166 MM barchetta wrote Ferrari’s name firmly in the history books, winning first the Mille Miglia and then the gruelling 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1949. This model was followed by other extraordinarily successful Ferrari Sports cars, such as the 750 Monza and 860 Monza which were inspiration for the name of the new models.

November 2018

Barchettas were similar to spiders in form (two seaters), but had no roof or weather equipment. Instead of a full windscreen, they were equipped with just a small screen (single or wrap-around) and a removable cover over the passenger side. The Monza SP1 and SP2 are similar in concept, although the main difference is that they can be ordered either as a single-seater or as a two-seater. The result is a car that seems sculpted by the wind. It is the purity of the styling elements that impresses - an aesthetic that is futuristic but, at the same time, a respectful yet un-nostalgic homage to the past.

Enzo Ferrari used to say that “If there is such a thing as a soul, engines have one”. This model’s soul is, as is true of all Ferraris, in its engine. The Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 are equipped with the most powerful naturally-aspirated V12 ever produced by Ferrari.

Thanks to specific areas of development, the power of the 812 Superfast’s 6.5 litre has been increased by 10 cv to 810 cv at 8500 rpm with a slight increase in torque to 719 Nm at 7000 rpm. Just like on racing cars, extensive use of carbon-fibre has been made throughout the construction of the Monza SP1 and SP2 to make them light and responsive and to enhance their sporty, aggressive visual appeal.

As these are completely air sports cars with no windscreen, one of the biggest challenges was to create an aerodynamic solution that would ensure the driver enjoys the performance of the cars without being affected by issues caused by the barchetta configuration.

The result was the patented “Virtual Wind Shield” which is integrated into the fairing ahead of the instrument panel and the steering wheel, providing exceptional driving comfort.

The Exterior Racing has always greatly influenced Ferrari design language and the Monza SP1 and SP2 are linked to the marque’s glorious past by an invisible bond. Their design, in fact, embodies the elegance, performance and innovation that are such an intrinsic part of Ferrari’s past and present. From the point of view of pure creativity, the seductive images of 1950s Ferrari barchettas that evoke in so many ways the atmosphere of the races of the day, were an invaluable source of inspiration. The Ferrari Styling Centre’s designers gave the barchetta concept an absolutely modern connotation thanks a new and highly personal take on the theme. But there are no nostalgic references, no elements borrowed directly from the past. The Monza SP1 and SP2 were designed like a modern single-seater for a new generation of gentlemen drivers.

The Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 design language is clearly visible in its elegant forms and the wing-profile volume of the all-carbon-fibre bodyshell, in its proportions, refined details, and spare lines. The extreme forms of the more extreme high-performance Ferraris have been avoided. In this instance, the Ferrari Styling Centre’s designers strove to retain a form so pure it could be described in a single pencil stroke. The cars’ sleek, minimalist silhouette seems almost to float on the delicate yet robust sculptural rear diffuser that wraps around the tail like an embrace, visually leading to the slender yet precise line of the flanks and then to the base of the front bumper. That effect is further amplified by the colour contrast between the black carbon-fibre of the sills and the rest of bodywork, the extreme lightness of which is underscored by the two elegant shells comprising it.

The Monza SP1 and SP2’s postmodern aesthetic is also clear at the rear which has the soft, sinuous look typical of the Ferraris of the 1950s, a compact tail and full, muscular forms. The pivotal idea was to break up the volume into two shells: an upper cover and a lower hull. These two elements create a dialogue yet the upper shell seems almost to float, an effect obtained by an uninterrupted strip inside a groove that circles the cockpit and ends above the tail. This solution creates the impression that the two volumes are separate. This is a theme which appeared on Ferraris of various different decades, including those from the 1980s, but in this instance also became a leitmotif that brings structure to the form. It allows the rear of the car to be both solid and light at once.

The interesting thing in this case is that it allowed a new tail light concept to be introduced: the side lights and brake lights have been redesigned as a single unbroken line of light, seamlessly integrated into the slender gap between the two shells. This turns the tail light assembly into a theoretical line that traverses the wings and circles the bonnet, giving the impression that the upper shell is literally suspended above the rest of the volume.

The front of the car is sober and spare: a single smooth, paredback surface seamlessly integrating bonnet and sinuous wings.

Its forms are a nod to the signature styling elements from Ferrari tradition. It is a fuselage extending back from the fine mesh radiator grille which itself is underscored by the three-dimensional structure beneath it with its two prominent air intakes. The entire front of the car looks as if it is draped, cloaked and enveloped by the surface treatment.

20

November 2018

Particular attention was lavished on the design of the compact doors which open upwards. This involved re-engineering the 812 Superfast’s entire door assembly but the results are spectacular.

Equally important is the all-carbon-fibre one-piece bonnet-wing assembly which is hinged at the front to showcase the imposing V12 engine once open. The exterior is completed by wonderfully sculptural 21” five-spoke wheels that were designed specifically to compliment the minimalist lines of the two cars.

The Interior The development of the design of the interior focused specifically on the driver cockpit. The ergonomics were crafted by concentrating on all the interior content which were redesigned to match the car’s unique purpose. The instruments, instrument cluster and seat structure needed a functional rethink to meet the driver’s new requirements, one that would also retain a consistency of stylistic language with the exterior and the underlying design philosophy.

Starting with a drop theme in the form of an obvious ring on the cover, the interior architecture splits into three levels. The first is delineated by the driver’s visual horizon. From that perspective, the line between the car’s interior and exterior is very subtle indeed. The driver’s body is entirely encapsulated by the car apart from their head which juts out over the horizon line, as in racing cars, thus reducing visual distractions of all kinds. The second level comprises the instrumentation, steering wheel and air vents.

Lastly, the spare cockpit embraces, at armrest level, the rest of the commands which are clustered on a single very simple surface completely devoid of any stylistic virtuosity. The carbon-fibre single-piece seat is upholstered in leather and lends the inside of the car an exquisitely tailored look, as do the very few other areas of leather upholstery which are carefully positioned to guarantee maximum comfort when driving.

The Engine and Transmission The engine in the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 is derived directly from that of the 812 Superfast, with optimised fluid-dynamics in the intake ducts to deliver even higher performance. The V12, which was recognized as the best engine over 4 litres and the Best New Engine at the 2018 International Engine of the Year Awards, brought in a number of innovative solutions. Amongst these is a 350 bar direct injection system for the very first time on a high-performance gasoline engine paired with variable geometry intake tracts conceptually derived from those of naturally-aspirated F1 engines.

The high pressure injection system results in improved nebulisation of the injected fuel which drastically reduces the amount of particulate emitted during the catalyser warm-up stage, ensuring it complies with specific emissions legislation. Particular attention was also paid to calibrating the performance strategies to enhance the engine’s potential and the sensation of extreme power delivered by the car while ensuring the driver can easily dose the massive torque available, thanks to smooth, progressive power delivery at all engine speeds.

The dual-clutch transmission’s gear shifting strategies also enhance the cars’ sportiness. In the sportier Manettino positions, both up and down shift times are inherited from the 812 Superfast which has a faster, more pronounced shift for a more exhilarating driving experience.

Exotic Cars Magazine

Thanks to the uncompromising open configuration, the V12 sound is even more all-enveloping. The more noticeable intake sound is captivating and absolutely unmistakable. The driver feels completely immersed in an incomparable experience that only a car brimming with Ferrari DNA could deliver.

The Vehicle Dynamics In terms of longitudinal and lateral performance, the car’s architecture is unique because of the complete absence of both windscreen and roof, yielding different aerodynamics. As a result, the goal for its longitudinal and lateral performance was to meet and, if possible, improve on the 812 Superfast’s performance.

The result is that the Monza SP1 and SP2 share the excellent acceleration characteristics (0-100 km/h in 2.9 sec and 0-200 in 7.9 sec) and braking performance (100-0 km/h in 32 m) of the 812 Superfast and only lose a little in maximum speed (over 300 km/h).

In order to achieve the goals set, the Virtual Short Wheelbase concept debuted on the F12tdf and then later also adopted on the 812 Superfast was maintained, as was the Electric Power Steering (EPS).

The larger 21” forged rims required bigger tires - 275/30 at the front and 315/30 at the rear - and the suspension set up are slightly stiffer to improve the feeling of agility and the response time to commands. The result is that the model is perfectly balanced with no roll whatsoever for almost unimaginably pure, uncompromising

sports-car handling.

Because there are no windscreen pillars, the driver’s view is completely unhindered and this enables them to attack corners with a freedom only experience with a Formula 1 car. The driver can thus enjoy involving and rewarding sports car responses over twisty routes the car is always gratifying but never difficult to control.

The Aerodynamics As with all Ferraris, the design of the Monza SP1 and SP2 was crafted around the aerodynamics required to immerse the driver fully in the car’s impressive performance. The Virtual Wind Shield was patented for this car in response to the need to allow the driver enjoys it at high speeds.

Although it remains below the driver’s cone of vision, it delivers maximum driving comfort for a barchetta, both in terms of historic car benchmarks and models with similar architecture. The concept was first developed virtually using in-depth CFD modelling and then physically in the wind tunnel. A full-scale mock-up was built specifically for the Wind Tunnel in which our test-drivers alternated with dummies fitted out with pressure sensors (rake and keel probes). Because of the extreme nature of the car, the support of the test-drivers and their experience was vital both in the initial phase of defining the target and the final validation stage of the overall package.

Instrumented dummies and computations, on the other hand, gave engineers an in-depth understanding of the aerodynamic phenomena that need to be managed and also allowed us to increase the critical mass of the solutions tested.

With no windscreen whatsoever, the air flowing over the bonnet would hit the driver’s face. The aim with adopting the Virtual Wind Shield was to minimise the negative effect of the air flow without compromising the exhilarating sense of speed and contact with the road that only a car of this kind can deliver. The Virtual Wind Shield is essentially an aerodynamic passage underneath the driver’s side aero screen, where the upper part is shaped as an aerofoil. Part of the air flowing over the bonnet enters the air intake under the aero screen, where it is accelerated and deflected ver-

tically ahead of the instrument panel. It aids the aero screen itself which creates strong suction thereby accelerating the air coming out of the duct beneath the wind shield. This generates what is known as a highly energised up wash that deflects the flow over the driver’s head creating a low-speed bubble around the cockpit.

Inside the Virtual Wind Shield duct are two divergent fences.

These two fences create a pressure variation between the central channel and the outer channels of the duct which minimises fluctuation in the flow field at the outer edge of the low speed bubble around the driver. This in turn reduces aerodynamic noise and boosts overall comfort by eliminating the risk of dangerous oscillations in the transverse aerodynamic forces around the driver’s head.

Ferrari Pista Spider

By Sameer Shah Staff Writer After its world premiere at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the new special series Ferrari 488 Pista Spider has made its European debut at the 2018 Paris Motor Show. The 50th drop-top model to be introduced by the Prancing Horse is also the most powerful series production spider in Ferrari history, with an unprecedented weight/power ratio of 1.92 kg/cv.

The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider combines the finest racedeveloped technological solutions with the joy of en plein air driving to deliver an exhilarating experience behind the wheel. The driver feels absolutely as one with the car in a symbiotic relationship that guarantees instantaneous responsiveness to commands and absolute control when executing even the most complex manoeuvres. This is hardly surprising as the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider benefits from the greatest technological transfer from the track of any road-legal open-top car.

The model’s engine, dynamics and aerodynamics are derived from two track cars: the 488 Challenge and the 488 GTE. The latter won the GT class of the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2017, thus giving Ferrari a total of five GT Manufacturers’ titles since the 26

championship’s inception in 2012. Furthermore, this model has very clearly benefited from the extensive development work done to produce the coupé version, the 488 Pista. The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider sports the most powerful V8 engine in Maranello history which was also named Best Engine for the third consecutive year at the 2018 International Engine of the Year Awards.

The 3902cc (3.9 liter) twin-turbo V8 unleashes 720 cv (710hp) (50cv/49hp more than the 488 Spider) with torque calibrated to deliver a feeling of constant, everincreasing acceleration. The engine also won the special “Best of the Best” title as the top engine of all the winners of the last 20 years.

Its performance figures are the highest of any spider ever built by the Prancing Horse, including 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.85 seconds and a lap time at Fiorano of just 1’21”5. The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider’s target client is a typical diehard Ferrarista who already owns other Ferrari spiders. These are drivers that want to feel all the power and speed the 488 Pista Spider is capable of yet also enjoy drop-top driving and the soundtrack of that unparalleled engine. But the innovations are not confined merely to a boost in power output - they also extend to an overall reduction in weight and beyond.

Maximum torque is higher at all engine speeds, peaking at 770 Nm (10 Nm more than the 488 Spider) and is available from 3,000 rpm. These results were achieved thanks to the new engine intake layout developed for the 488 Challenge, with the intakes moved from the flanks to the rear spoiler area, ensuring a higher volume and The Engine In terms of its characteristics and performance, the cleaner flow of air to the engine, thereby contributing to Ferrari 488 Pista Spider’s engine sets the benchmark the increase in power. not just for new generation turbo engines but all engines, Moving the air intakes from the sides to the rear also including naturally aspirated ones.

evolving both a new generation of the Side Slip Control System (SSC 6.0), improving the efficiency of the braking system and the introduction of new Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires. As was the case in the 488 Pista, the Spider features a lateral dynamics control system that uses Ferrari software to adjust the brake pressure at the calipers.

The Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer (FDE) is available when the manettino is in the “CT-OFF” position. It regulates the lateral dynamics parameters, including side slip angle estimation. The control system intervenes in advance, lightly actuating the calipers through, and exiting corners.

As a result the system manages the evolution of the side slip angle, making control of the lateral dynamics in highperformance situations more intuitive, controllable and predictable. So it is not a stability control system, but a maximum performance-focused system.

The introduction of the Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer into the integrated SSC 6.0 system thus gives drivers extra confidence so that they can more easily handle even lengthy oversteer situations. It also makes performance on the limit easier to reach and control even for less expert drivers. The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider is extremely efficient in dealing with rapid changes of direction and offers drivers a unique sense of predictability.

Recalibrated SCM-E dampers and the 10% stiffer springs contribute to this improved handling precision.

Longitudinal acceleration is 13% higher than on the 488 Spider.

Although the 488 Pista Spider was developed for mostly road use, it was also designed to deliver impressive performance on the track. As a result, the braking system was modified to improve cooling, particularly under Vehicle Dynamics The aim of the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider’s dynamic extreme use, and also to cut the time it takes to get up development was to produce a car that offers high to temperature. The 488 Challenge’s brake servo was mechanical performance in terms of lap times and adopted to enhance the sporty pedal feel and deliver standing starts, driving pleasure and accessibility of smooth, consistent braking even in extreme conditions.

These interventions, combined with the car’s lighter performance to drivers of all types.

The vehicle dynamics developed for this drop-top V8 overall weight, have reduced the 200-0 km/h stopping special series car thus offer a seamless combination distance by a metre compared to the 488 Spider. of superb acceleration, braking efficiency, steering The bodyshell was designed to keep the car as light as precision, grip, stability and handling that produces an possible and features ultralight materials such as carbonunparalleled and genuinely immersive driving experience. fibre for the engine cover, the front and rear bumpers This is thanks in part to the Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer and the rear spoiler, and Lexan for the rear window.

(FDE) which makes controlling the lateral dynamics in This is also the first time that an optional 20” singlehigh performance situations more intuitive, controllable piece carbon-fibre wheel rim has been made available and predictable. To achieve these objectives, Ferrari’s in the Ferrari range. Made entirely from carbon-fibre, it is engineers had to work on several fronts, starting with around 20% lighter than the forged wheel rims that come introducing numerous lightweight solutions as well as as standard on this car and features a special coating with integrated rev sensors. Response times are instantaneous and even faster than the 488 Spider, thanks to a new specifically-developed control strategy.

A new pedal map also makes driving on the limit even easier. Specific valves and springs combined with a new cam profile also contributed to the engine’s power boost.

The cylinder liners are thinner too. These significant upgrades are completed by the geometry of the new exhaust manifolds. All the structural components were modified to deal with the engine’s power boost. The pistons and cylinder heads have been strengthened to cope with the higher loads. Parallel to this, particular attention was also focused on reducing internal friction by introducing, for example, solutions derived directly from Formula 1.

Aside from boosting power, the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider’s engine also makes the car’s handling more intuitive and its powerful, razor-sharp performance available to all drivers in all driving situations, both on the road and the track. A slew of high performance features have been introduced to allow drivers to exploit to the very fullest the potential afforded the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider’s engine.

A new boost control strategy optimises response time and performance in sporty driving on the limit, making all the power the driver asks from the throttle available virtually instantaneously. The rev limiter’s “Wall Effect” strategy is another leap forward in terms of extreme engine performance. Rather than gradually limiting the revs towards the limiter, it cuts off right at the red-line of 8,000 rpm, maximising the amount of power available in power-on dynamic driving situations.

developed for the aerospace industry on the channel and spokes which efficiently reflects and dissipates heat generated under braking.

Transmission

The sporty driving feedback is further enhanced by the high-performance gear shifting, typical of a thoroughbred race car. The new gear shift strategy, available in the manettino’s RACE position, reduces shifting times by 30 milliseconds. Also adopted once again on this model is the hugely successful Ferrari Variable Torque Management strategy for all gears. To adapt it to the car’s extreme sporty spirit, all of the torque curves were redesigned to deliver a feeling of consistently smooth, powerful acceleration all the way to the red line.

Aerodynamics

In-depth aerodynamics research played a big part in improving the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider’s performance.

Working on a concept focused on uncompromising innovation and performance allowed considerable engineering freedom in developing significant solutions.

The already-exceptional aerodynamic efficiency of the 488 Spider has been improved by 20%, with major benefits in terms of absolute speed and lap times on

medium-fast tracks as well as sheer fun behind the wheel.

This substantial improvement is due in great part to the radical choices made for the bodywork and underbody forms with the aim of increasing downforce without increasing the car’s drag coefficient. In fact, the 488 Pista Spider takes the aerodynamic concepts adopted on the 488 Spider from which it is derived and moulds them into a much more technically extreme and ambitious package. Examples are the active aerodynamics on the rear underbody and a completely redesigned version of the blown spoiler (patented on the 488 GTB).

As is always the case with each new Ferrari, the car’s underbody was specifically redesigned to ensure it delivers as efficient a downforce figure as possible. The first major difference from the 488 Spider is how the hot air from the radiators is deflected to the underbody ahead of the front wheels.

This choice, made to enhance the cooling layout and lower the car’s drag coefficient, however shrinks the surfaces that can be used to generate downforce. To make up for this and further boost downforce, the designers decided to exploit other areas of the underbody.

The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider was thus equipped with front diffusers, made possible by the change in the inclination of

Exotic Cars Magazine November 2018

the front radiators and the elimination of the dams ahead of the wheels. Thanks to a ramp already optimised for the 488 GTE, the diffusers accelerate the flow, venting it into the wheelarches, creating strong suction that in turn is responsible for 12% of the overall downforce increase compared to the 488 Spider. The vortex generators on the underbody have also been optimised and now generate 10% more downforce, thanks to modifications to their profile and length.

The rear diffuser is also derived directly from Ferrari’s World Endurance Championship experience and has the same double kink line as the 488 GTE’s, amplifying the extraction and downforce generation capacities of a traditional diffuser. As in the 488 GTB, the diffuser is equipped with a system of 3 active flaps which rotate 14° in minimum drag configuration to completely stall the diffuser and thus significantly reduce the car’s drag.

The need for efficient downforce resulted in the whole of the front of the car being completely redesigned, particularly the bumpers and bonnet. One innovative Formula 1-derived solution in particular stands out: the 30

November 2018

S-Duct. The air from the intake on the front bumper passes through an aerodynamic duct with calibrated sections and exits through a vent on the bonnet, creating downforce over the front axle. Furthermore, the front intake is completed by a central lower wing profile with a dual function. On the one hand, it acts as a splitter which, thanks to its curvature, accelerates the flow and increases the amount of air passing through the S-Duct, thus improving its performance while, on the other, it creates a low pressure area under the front underbody, further boosting downforce. The introduction of this particular solution accounts for 18% of the overall increase in downforce compared to the 488 Spider, but barely a 2% increase in drag.

The exterior sections of the bumper ahead of the wheels were also extensively redesigned with solutions modified from the 488 Challenge and reinterpreted so successfully that they are responsible for 23% of the increase in downforce compared to the 488 Spider.

Radical scoops in the front bumper allow aerodynamic elements to protrude in areas where they can be most

efficient. The volume of the front bumper is recessed before the wheelarch to deflect the flow ahead of the wheels outwards, generating suction from the wheelarch and thus from the front underbody, which is equipped with diffusers, all to the benefit of front downforce.

At the rear, two elements contributed to the achievement of the downforce target: the blown spoiler system and the venting behind the rear wheels. The spoiler is higher (+30 mm) and longer (+40 mm) compared to its counterpart on the 488 Spider. Development work focused on the efficiency of the bleed under the spoiler. In fact, the evolution of the spoiler system and its bleed has had a significant impact on downforce, accounting for 25% of the overall increase compared to the 488 Spider.

Exterior Design

Aerodynamic demands guided the work of the Ferrari Design Centre team. The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider’s forms have been meticulously sculpted to ensure they are more performance-oriented than ever, with huge attention lavished on ensuring that while aerodynamic demands were met, the Maranello marque’s signature

styling elements and aesthetic canons were respected.

The designers used innovative elements, such as the aerodynamic S-Duct at the front, as an opportunity to visually shorten the car’s nose, creating an original floating wing effect.

The black, omega-shaped edging on the front bumpers and the side flicks reference the prominent aerodynamic underbody motif of the 488 GTE. Most notable on the flanks is the fact that the splitter in the side air intakes of the 488 Spider has been removed. At the front, the aerodynamic profiles that start at the front bumpers run sleekly along the side miniskirts all the way to the side appendages of the rear diffuser. The concept of the front is echoed in the dolphin-tail rear spoiler which appears suspended to provide an impression lightness and efficiency, while the rear volumes add a sense of power to the tail. The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider has a racing livery that runs the entire length of the car, starting at the front bumper, then diving into the S-Duct and continuing all the way to the rear spoiler.

Lamborghini Aventador SVJ

By Sameer Shah Staff Writer Automobili Lamborghini unveiled the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ in a worldwide premiere during 2018 Monterey Car Week in California at “The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering”. The distillation of extraordinary design, groundbreaking technologies and the ultimate in handling, performance and driver enjoyment, the Aventador SVJ creates pure driving perfection, taking the concept of a super sports car to a new dimension.

The new Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, where SV historically stands for Superveloce - meaning ‘superfast’ - takes the ‘Jota’ suffix, denoting its track and performance superiority: the Aventador SVJ has already claimed its position as the Nürburgring-Nordschleife production car record holder, completing the 20.6 km lap in just 6:44.97 minutes. Production is limited to 900 units.

A special edition, named SVJ 63, is exclusively unveiled on the concept lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It pays homage to Lamborghini’s founding year of 1963: produced in a unique configuration, it demonstrates the rich use of carbon fiber and is made in an additional limited number of just 63.

“The Aventador SVJ is an innovative car and represents the absolute pinnacle of our super sports car product range,” said Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Stefano Domenicali. “The challenge to Lamborghini designers and 34

November 2018

engineers was to improve the purest essence of the Lamborghini super sports car, drawing on every inspiration from a space ship to a jet fighter: all the most exceptional examples of super-fast, super-athletic, aerodynamic superiority. The Aventador SVJ takes another step into the future, shaping the potential for super sports car development.”

Improved performance in all aspects The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ’s Nürburgring-Nordschleife lap record is living proof of its benchmarking performance. With its optimized power plant making it the most powerful series production V12-engined car produced to date by Lamborghini, the SVJ features an increase in power to 770 hp (566 kW) at maximum 8,500 rpm. The SVJ outputs 720 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm, while a dry weight of just 1,525 kg gives the SVJ a weight-to-power ratio of 1.98 kg/hp. The SVJ accelerates from standing to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 8.6 seconds. A top speed of more than 350 km/h is complemented by a braking distance of 100 km/h to 0 in 30 meters.

The Aventador SVJ is, however, more than a super sports car achieving the top numbers. The development philosophy of the Aventador SVJ and its very essence in terms of design, aerodynamic technologies and efficiency, weight-to-power as well as performance, is to create a demanding driver’s perfect car.

Exotic Cars Magazine

The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ - designed for aerodynamic supremacy Every feature of the Aventador SVJ resonates its aerodynamic prowess: the SVJ is significantly enhanced in appearance compared to the Aventador S, with every facet of its ‘form follows function’ design a reminder of its raison d’être on road and track: innovate to be the best. The main goal in design was a significant downforce improvement compared to the previous Aventador SV: +40% on both axles with an improved drag coefficient -1%.

From the front the car is wider: a new front bumper with integrated side fins features a new air intake and highlights the inclusion of Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA), Lamborghini’s patented active aerodynamics technologies. The disconnected front splitter continues the impression of a floating component, while providing a channel for airflow. A tri-dimensional air outlet on the hood directs airflow, improves both drag and downforce, and clearly alludes to the aerodynamic purpose of the SVJ’s design.

The upper body aerodynamic optimization has contributed 70% to the total downforce improvement in the SVJ over the SV. The SVJ’s rocker is entirely new, adopting the ‘Y’ theme found in Lamborghini cars while also resembling shapes found in jet fighters. The bigger side air intakes and the new front side fins reduce drag and improve overall cooling. An improved underbody aero design with vortex generators works in conjunction with front diffusers and a new, extreme-design rear diffuser, together with divergent fins, contributes 30% to the total downforce improvement.

The rear wing of the SVJ has been designed for best aerodynamic efficiency, based on a new air foil; an optimized ALA 2.0 system; and side winglets to reduce turbulence while providing high downforce on the straight as well as in high speed corners. At the rear of the car the position of the high-mounted naked exhaust resembles those found on extreme motorbikes, as well as saving weight due to its proximity to the engine: the exhaust system itself is also lighter.

The Omega-shape rear bumper incorporates a massive new diffuser that contributes to downforce, while a new high-mounted rear wing is produced entirely in carbon fibre with its integrated ALA system. The new rear engine bonnet has been redesigned for the SVJ: it is made from lightweight carbon fibre and removable via quick release clips in a reference to motor racing. It also adopts the ‘Y’ theme that reveals the updated V12 power plant below, while accenting the car’s high performance characteristics. Super-light ‘Nireo’ aluminum rims are designed specifically for the SVJ, saving weight and contributing to the extreme dynamism of the car.

Optional ‘Leirion’ aluminium rims with ‘Y’ and hexagonal details are also available. The Italian flag detail on the side wing is a reminder of the Lamborghini’s Italian super sports car heritage.

Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva 2.0 Lamborghini’s patented ALA system was first seen on the Huracán Performante, and has been developed to an enhanced level for the Aventador SVJ, now ALA 2.0, including new optimized air inlets and aero channel designs. The system has been re-calibrated taking into account the enhanced vehicle’s lateral accelerations. The ALA system actively varies aero load to achieve high downforce or low drag, depending on dynamic conditions. Electronically-actuated motors open or close active flaps in the front splitter and on the

engine bonnet that steer the air-flow, front and rear.

Utilizing Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Attiva 2.0 (LDVA 2.0) with improved inertial sensors that govern all the car’s electronic systems in real time, the ALA system flaps are activated in less than 500 milliseconds to ensure the best aerodynamic set-up of the car in every driving condition. When ALA is off, the active flaps are closed, generating the desired high downforce for high speed cornering and full brake conditions. When ALA switches to ‘on’ the front flaps are opened, reducing air pressure on the front spoiler and directing air flow via an inner channel and through the specially-shaped vortex generators on the underside of the car. This drastically reduces drag and optimizes conditions for maximum acceleration and top speed. When ALA is off the rear flaps are also closed, allowing the rear wing to act as a traditional fixed wing.

Stability is enhanced in high speed cornering and full braking by creating maximum vertical downforce. When ALA is ‘on’ the flaps on the engine bonnet open in order to stall the wing for improved drag in high speed conditions. In addition, the rear wing’s inner air channel is split right and left, allowing aero vectoring for high speed cornering.

Depending on the direction of the turn, the LDVA 2.0 instructs ALA to be switched on in either the right or left side of the wing, increasing downforce and traction on the inner wheel and counteracting the load transfer in rolling conditions. This in turn optimizes the chassis’ momentum, requiring a reduced steering angle and improving the car’s overall dynamic stability. The aero vectoring technology in the SVJ has been further developed to improve the aero-loading effects on the inner wheel by 30% compared to the original system.

Engineering technology The enhanced powertrain features a new titanium intake valve with a new-shape intake runner and length, with a modified intake cylinder head duct for higher flow coefficient. The new, lightweight exhaust system reduces backpressure as well as producing the most emotive sound, and the optimized seven-speed Independent Shifting Road (ISR) gearbox has been calibrated for the car’s increased performance in terms of both power and torque.

The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ’s vertical, lateral and longitudinal dynamics have been re-engineered in LDVA 2.0, with algorithms fully integrated within ALA 2.0 to reflect the exceptional downforce generated and optimize performance: the result of significant R&D investment and collaboration with the CFD team. The SVJ’s suspension has been reworked, providing higher mechanical and aerodynamic grip. Anti-roll bar stiffness has been improved by 50% compared to the Aventador SV, compensating against roll and improving aero efficiency. A higher damping force range, increased by 15% over the SV, and Lamborghini’s Magneto Rheological Suspension (LMS) has been recalibrated to improve body and wheel control with a focus on track performance.

The Aventador SVJ’s rear-wheel steering (LRS) is further engineered to exploit the aero load in every environment, providing exceptional stability in high speed conditions and improving agility in cornering to enhance average speed in all dynamic conditions.

The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ’s steering has also been developed to provide the feedback demanded in high-performance track and racing environments. The rebalanced power steering reflects the specific aero load and tires, and the Lamborghini Dynamic

Exotic Cars Magazine November 2018

35

Steering (LDS) is recalibrated to further improve steering precision and natural feedback.

The Lamborghini SVJ’s four-wheel drive system has improved torque split to maximize traction and agility, with the higher stability of the SVJ allowing a further 3% of torque to be sent to the rear axle compared to the SV. The rear-wheel steering has been developed to further improve the car’s stability while reducing braking distances, particularly in combined braking/turning conditions such as high speed cornering.

ESC has been enhanced for improved cornering and driver experience in extreme handling conditions, and ABS has been specifically tuned for the improved grip provided by the tires and ALA system.

New Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires have been specifically developed, these tires provide higher vertical stiffness to accommodate the SVJ’s higher downforce, as well as provide a high grip level to enhance overall vehicle performance. Featuring a specific tread design, the tires are designed to optimize performance on both road and track. Optional street-legal Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires can be mounted specifically for track use.

by Sameer Shah Staff Writer McLaren Automotive has finally revealed the stunning, streamlined form and sensational specification of the McLaren Speedtail.

The next chapter in McLaren’s Ultimate Series, the Speedtail is the first ‘Hyper-GT’ from the pioneering British company recognised for producing luxury sportscars and supercars that deliver extraordinary driving experiences. The McLaren Speedtail can achieve the highest maximum speed of any McLaren to date, reaching 403 km/h (250mph), yet will also deliver an unprecedented blend of contemporary craftsmanship, materials innovation and bespoke personalisation. Just 106 will be created and all are already reserved, at a price of from £1.75million ($2.26 million USD) plus taxes.

“McLaren has never built a vehicle like the Speedtail before. As our first ‘Hyper-GT’, the McLaren Speedtail is the ultimate McLaren road car; a fusion of art and science that combines an astonishing maximum speed with an iconic central-driving position and a truly pioneering approach to bespoke personalisation. A ground-breaking hybrid powertrain sits within a lightweight carbon fibre body reminiscent of sleek ‘streamliners’ that once set world speed records, while the luxurious three-seat cockpit offers a sublime combination of an incredible driving experience, unmatched individualism and innovative materials never seen before in a road-going vehicle.” -

Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive.

As the most powerful and most aerodynamically drag efficient McLaren, the Speedtail can exceed the 243mph record peak speed of the legendary McLaren F1, a feat made possible by intense collaboration between McLaren’s design and engineering teams to deliver a peerless blend of aerodynamic, powertrain and dynamic excellence. It is also significant that this is the first of 18 new cars or derivatives that McLaren will introduce as part of its Track25 business plan.

The teardrop-shaped cockpit and aerodynamically optimised body are the foundation for the exceptional aerodynamic drag efficiency, with innovative features such as carbon fibre front-wheel static aero covers, retractable digital rear-view cameras (in lieu of mirrors) and patented active rear ailerons furthering contributing to the ultra-low drag achieved. The McLaren Speedtail model is built around a bespoke McLaren Monocage carbon fibre structure and benefits from lightweight engineering throughout, including an all-carbon fibre body, aluminium active suspension and carbon ceramic brakes. The powertrain is a pioneering petrol-electric hybrid developing a combined 1,050PS to support the extraordinary performance.

Exotic Cars Magazine

McLaren Speedtail A speed of 403km/h (250mph) is achieved in a unique Velocity mode, which has been developed specifically for the Speedtail.

Velocity mode optimises the hybrid powertrain for high-speed running, while also tailoring the angle of the active rear ailerons.

Additionally, the digital rear-view cameras can be retracted to further improve drag. Furthermore, the Velocity Active Chassis Control can lower the Speedtail by 35mm, leaving the highest point of the vehicle just 1,120mm (44in)from the road surface. The hybrid powertrain enables a relentless increase in vehicle speed regardless of engine rpm and the low weight of the McLaren Speedtail - only 1,430kg dry - hastens this ability. The straightline acceleration of the Speedtail sets a new benchmark for a McLaren, with 0-300km/h (0-186mph) achieved in just 12.8 seconds; McLaren Automotive’s previous Ultimate Series hybrid, the McLaren P1, could reach this speed in 16.5 seconds.

A bespoke P-ZERO tyre designed for the Speedtail’s extreme speed has been developed with McLaren technology partner, Pirelli. Being at the wheel of a McLaren Speedtail promises to be a truly sensational experience and unlike that enjoyed in any other car. The driver is positioned centrally in the luxurious cockpit, with seating for two additional passengers set slightly rearwards. There

is luggage space within both the nose and tail of the vehicle and a bespoke luggage set is available to every owner, with the carbon fibre, leather and metalwork on the cases being matched to the interior specification of their Speedtail.

Speedtail depositors were invited to view a design model of the car at a recent private preview event held in London. Resplendent in Speedtail Silver, a Nano-metallic, ‘molten-effect’ paint developed by McLaren specifically for this car, the model displays both aniline leather - a leather dyed with soluble dyes to retain the hide’s natural surface - and a new lightweight leather.

The cockpit provides enticing glimpses of the astonishing level of personalisation opportunities available; with each McLaren Speedtail being tailored to the owner’s individual tastes by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the division of McLaren Automotive responsible for bespoke customer commissions, it is virtually certain that no two examples will be identical.

Streamlined simplicity is the key to true elegance The essence of the McLaren Speedtail is modern design and craftsmanship in the truest sense, the breathtakingly sophisticated shape having been brought to life using the very latest digital

development technologies. By radically rethinking every aspect of the exterior design and drastically reducing weight, aerodynamic drag efficiency was maximised, acceleration improved and top speed increased. Elegance has been created through reduction: every single body panel is carbon fibre and has been sculpted to reduce drag; retractable digital rear-view cameras replace traditional door mirrors to further aid aerodynamic performance; carbon fibre front-wheel static aero covers reduce air turbulence around the wheelarches; and the seamless silhouette is enhanced by a reduction in the number of shutlines - including a one-piece rear clamshell - which disrupt neither the visual continuity of the body or the flow of air over it. The patented active rear ailerons ensure the continuity of the design remains uncompromised, with drag kept to a minimum.

Every element and every aspect of the McLaren Speedtail has been considered in the mission to reduce drag and maximise top speed. The McLaren Speedtail is narrower than a McLaren P1™, but more than half a metre longer, measuring 5,137mm (almost 17 feet) from nose to tail. The purity of form is remarkable: viewed from above, the McLaren Speedtail is essentially a teardrop - the fastest shape in nature - and this sculpted form creates the smoothest initial contact with the air at the front splitter, while the dramatically elongated tail bleeds off the flow to reduce turbulence. And not only is the overall shape a teardrop, but so too is the cockpit glasshouse set within the body, once again benefitting aerodynamic drag efficiency.

The vertical ducts beneath the full LED headlights, for instance, are particularly slender, their form meticulously tapered to minimise drag while still feeding sufficient cooling air into the LTRs (Low40

November 2018

Temperature Radiators). Airflow that doesn’t enter the LTR ducts is directed over the bonnet of the McLaren Speedtail and enters two discreet upper front clam intakes. From here, it is ducted through the body and around the wheelarch before exiting out of the lower door vents. This engineering detail reduces the volume of air traveling around the side of the vehicle, which is prone to separation from the body and resulting turbulence.

The residual airflow over the nose of the car is directed onto and over the windscreen by a cowling at the trailing edge of the bonnet.

Engineered to completely encompass both the single-arm wiper and its operating mechanism, the cowling maintains a smooth flow transition across the front of the Speedtail and then over the roof towards the powertrain’s ‘snorkel’ intake. This inlet, which provides the air intake for the internal combustion engine element of the gasoline-electric powertrain, is set flush within the roof to reduce drag and cannot be seen when the McLaren Speedtail is viewed in profile. The required flow of air to the powertrain is maintained with two intakes that slope downwards, starting just behind the glass canopy. The intakes - which are split by the central high-mounted stop light - curve down into the engine cover before disappearing from view; a shorter, more aggressive intake would cause the air to separate from the surface and pass over the intake.

One of the innovations immediately obvious on the McLaren Speedtail is the introduction of lightweight, carbon fibre front-wheel static aero covers. Incorporated into the 20-inch, 10-spoke forged alloy front wheel design to minimise aerodynamic drag, they remain fixed in position as the wheels rotate, the flat surface smoothing airflow around what would otherwise be a turbulent aerodynamic area.

Exotic Cars Magazine

Typically, the revolution of a wheel drives air away from the vehicle, but the carbon fibre front-wheel static aero covers keep the air ‘attached’ to the car and guide it onwards to the door blades on the leading edge of the dihedral doors. The static wheel covers work in conjunction with multiple ducts and air paths to reduce turbulent air within the wheelarches. As air passes out of the LTRs, for instance, it is vented into the front wheelarches. From there together with heat energy generated by the lightweight, carbon ceramic braking system - the air is channeled through the ducts in the fixed front wheel aero cover in a consistent flow pattern.

Pressure within the wheelarches is also reduced via the lower door vents, which draw the turbulent air created by the rotating front wheels out of the arches and drive it smoothly along the sides of the McLaren Speedtail. The wheels themselves are finished in an elegant gloss black, with diamond-cut finishing. Brake calipers in Speedtail Silver complement the lustrous body colour.

Door mirrors are notably absent, the McLaren Speedtail instead featuring two discreet, high-definition digital cameras that glide out of the doors when the vehicle ignition is activated. Traditional fixed door mirrors create a surprising amount of air turbulence, but with a significantly smaller profile, the cameras on the McLaren Speedtail have only a minimal effect on airflow; furthermore, they provide a much wider field of view of the road behind. The camera feed is displayed on two screens, positioned at either side of the instrument panel in front of the driver. When Velocity mode is selected, the cameras retract into the doors, reducing drag further still. Utilising the same aerodynamic principles proven on the McLaren P1™, second-generation McLaren Super Series and McLaren Senna, intakes for the HTRs (High-Temperature Radiators) are mounted on the shoulders of the Speedtail, with-

in the double-skinned dihedral doors. The raised front wings, compact cockpit glasshouse and flush glazing serve to keep the airflow attached to the vehicle, and drive it over the front fenders and into the deep channels within the doors to provide cooling for the 1,050PS hybrid powertrain. Such is the efficiency of this solution that the HTR intakes of the McLaren Speedtail are particularly compact, further minimising drag. The trailing edge of the Speedtail showcases a particular highlight, namely a pair of active rear ailerons. These dynamic elements are hydraulically actuated and an integral part of the rear clamshell, formed in flexible carbon fibre; the body of the McLaren Speedtail can quite literally bend.

With a tolerance of only 1mm between the surfaces, this dramatic new technology all but removes any gaps or shutlines between the vehicle and the leading edge of the spoilers, meaning there is no turbulent air, no drag and no loss of speed. Positioned outboard from the centre of the Speedtail for optimal aerodynamic performance, the twin active ailerons adjust to move the centre of pressure and provide the required level of downforce precisely when it is needed most, for instance under deceleration to provide an airbrake function, while at high speed to increase vehicle stability.

Performing a similar function to that of the lower door vents, the vertical rear blades that are located beyond the trailing edge of the rear fenders draw turbulent air out of the rear wheelarches, away from the 21-inch forged alloy, rear wheels. By reintroducing this ‘dirty’ air into the external environment as smoothly as possible, the base pressure behind the Speedtail is reduced - and so therefore is drag.

Exotic Cars Magazine November 2018

The rear diffuser of the McLaren Speedtail works in conjunction with the rear blades to reduce base pressure and drag, achieving this through the fluent merger of the airflow from the top and the underside of the vehicle. The extended length of the diffuser and flat underfloor combine to diffuse the airflow before - in conjunction with the extended rear bodywork of the Speedtail - introducing it gradually back into the freestream rather than separating it from the rear of the vehicle with a hard, abrupt edge. The result is a further improvement to aerodynamic drag efficiency.

Beautifully tailored luxury, of your own creation A Speedtail driver’s seat is positioned - literally - at the centre of the cockpit. This creates an unparalleled sense of space and a perfectly balanced view out of the windscreen. The custom-made carbon fibre seat, inspired by the seat of the iconic McLaren F1, offers the support and comfort appropriate for a ‘Hyper-GT’ car.

Entry into this very special driving position is aided by a newly created directional leather finish that makes it easy to slide into the seat but then subtly holds the occupant in place while they drive.

The central seat is flanked by two passenger seats that are integral to the carbon fibre monocoque.

The windscreen curves upwards to become part of the roof, meeting a glazed porthole above the driver’s head and the glazed upper section of the dramatic dihedral doors. The incredible sense of space continues rearwards with glass rear-quarterlights that stretch back behind the seats to almost level with the rear axle. An extraordinary amount of light streams into the cockpit - unless the occupants choose otherwise, in which case the porthole, glazed upper section of the doors and rear-quarterlights feature electrochromic technology that allows them to independently turn opaque in an instant. Separately, the top of the windscreen is also electrochromic glass, forgoing the need for sun visors.

Ahead of the driver is a state-of-the-art control system, with high-definition displays and touchscreens that sweep across the dashboard and remove almost every button and switch traditionally found in a car. The controls to start the engine, turn on the Active Dynamics Panel and engage Velocity mode - as well as those to open the windows and doors - are in panels above the driver’s head. These controls and the other switches and dials are milled from aluminium, and then hand-brushed and polished. The beautifully crafted interior fuses contemporary craftsmanship and cutting-edge innovations to push the boundaries of design into a new era. The elegance and material excellence is more akin to high fashion, luxury yachts and bespoke furniture than is normally seen within an automotive environment. The scope for personalisation

is extraordinary and every McLaren Speedtail will be unique to its owner.

McLaren’s vision for the Speedtail - to create the ultimate in bespoke vehicle design - begins with carbon fibre, a material that McLaren has pioneered for nearly four decades, with every road or race car it has built since 1981 having a strong, stiff and light composite structure at its core. The Speedtail marks a revolutionary advance in the creation and usage of carbon by McLaren, with state-of-the-art technologies combining with traditional Italian textile knowledge to conceive a ‘digital loom’ process that delivers an even lighter composite material formed from an intricate carbon fibre weave. Pursuing further innovation, McLaren utilised this digital loom technique to develop a unique carbon fibre and titanium weave, christened Titanium Deposition Carbon Fibre.

Traditional methods to change the colour of carbon fibre can compromise the material’s structural integrity and visual clarity; for the Speedtail, a micron-thin layer of titanium is fused directly onto the weave and becomes an integral part of the carbon fibre’s construction. The titanium deposition process maintains immense strength and low weight and creates a truly remarkable finish of visual carbon fibre with a chrome-effect shimmer. The front splitter, diffuser and side skirts are all finished in 1K Titanium Deposition Carbon Fibre. This material has just 1000 fibres per thread, making it lighter than the 3K alternative and allowing the adoption of a Jacquard weaving process to create an intricate, bespoke pattern in the Visual Carbon Fibre elements.

The titanium can additionally be anodised in any bespoke colour or used to create interwoven images, symbols or even words within the carbon - for example, the rear of the driver’s seat features the McLaren logo. Working in collaboration with expert Swiss watchmaker, Richard Mille, McLaren used pioneering horology techniques to develop a world-first in the automotive sector: ThinPly Technology Carbon Fibre (TPT). The material is comprised of countless ultra-thin carbon layers just 30 microns in depth, each positioned at a 45° angle.

The surface is then delicately milled to expose a stratified, shimmering construction that resembles flowing water. This fusion of cutting-edge technology and design with precision engineering is truly unique, and can be integrated into areas of the McLaren Speedtail such as the overhead control panel, gearshift paddles and steering wheel clasp. TPT is also used in the McLaren badge on the front of the Speedtail design model, with both this badge and the Speedtail name formed in 18-carat white gold, the letters being individually pressed, clipped and polished. The entire interior of the

Exotic Cars Magazine

McLaren Speedtail has been designed to cosset and embrace the driver and their passengers, with the finest hides enveloping almost every surface.

The driver’s seat on the Speedtail design model is trimmed in Dark Glacier and Cool White leathers, the former a full aniline material and the latter a new, semi-aniline lightweight leather, developed by the Bridge of Weir Leather Company. The luxurious thickness and supple finish of the leather - the result of using only the finest hides sourced from the best heritage breeds, combined with generations of hand-finished craftsmanship - is unaffected, but by infusing air beneath the surface during the manufacturing process, material density is reduced and the weight cut by 30 per cent. The result is proof that luxury can go hand-in-hand with lightweighting. The lightweight leather can be treated to render it resilient enough to line the floor of the Speedtail and finished in the colour or colours of the owner’s choice; in the design model, Dark Glacier and Black have been selected. The leather then extends in a continuous piece to provide covers for the storage compartments beneath the seats, McLaren’s designers drawing on the natural traits of the leather and its inherent rigidity to allow the compartments to open like a piece of luxury luggage.

Specially selected Scandinavian hides are used for the full-aniline leather that trims the dashboard and passenger seats.

Unblemished and virtually unchanged from its natural state, this leather is the result of a five-week tanning process using vegetable oils the only addition is the chosen colour - in the case of the passenger seats, Dark Glacier - producing a rare automotive material of truly exceptional quality. The finish of the rich leather is almost impossibly soft to the touch and like the grain of a tree or a human fingerprint, the individual patina of the hide is preserved so that every surface is utterly unique in character.

McLaren Speedtail owners can additionally select unique stitch patterns in whichever colour they wish and bespoke decorative forms can be created within the leather through digital quilting or unique debossed or embossed patterns. Inspired by the finest of furniture and fashion design, the trimmed edges of the leather can even be painted, the colour being hand-mixed, hand-painted and then hand-polished to elevate the leather craftsmanship to the highest possible level and deliver an uncompromised aesthetic.

The limited production of the Speedtail has given McLaren the opportunity to push colour and materials design into unchartered territory and owners will experience an unprecedented journey of vehicle personalisation, leading up to the beginning of 2020 when the first deliveries of this rarest of Ultimate Series McLaren will take place.

Bentley Continental Supersports

By Sameer Shah Staff Writer Bentley announced its fastest and most powerful production model to date: the new Bentley Continental Supersports. A top speed of 209 mph (336 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds) make the new Bentley Continental Supersports the world’s fastest and most powerful luxury fourseat car. Similarly, its soft-top sibling, the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible, is the fastest four-seat convertible in the world, despatching the sprint to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.9 secs) on its way to a 205 mph (330 km/h) top speed.

Bentley’s mighty W12 engine, redeveloped for the Supersports with new high-performance turbos and engine hardware, and a torque vectoring system create a Bentley Continental Supersports as agile as it is powerful. Meanwhile, unique styling cues inside and out give the new model a sharpened athletic appearance highlighting its performance potential.

As well as offering supercar pace and a highly focused driving experience, there is no compromise in the refined nature of the Continental’s ride quality. This fusion of extremes in luxury and performance make the Supersports the ultimate iteration of a model that has come to define and dominate the grand touring genre.

Amazing Power and Outstanding Performance A bespoke drivetrain featuring Bentley’s W12 engine combines extreme power and torque to offer exhilarating performance. Key to the Supersports’ additional outputs are newly designed higher-capacity turbochargers and a revised charge-air cooling system which create more boost and additional power. In order to harness these additional outputs, upgrades have also been made to the Continental’s cranktrain, including new main and conrod bearings.

These extensive engine revisions result in an increase of 80 PS (79 bhp) and 217 Nm (160 lb.ft.) over the 2009 Supersports model - a 10 % power-to-weight and 25 % torque-to-weight ratio improvement. The top speed rises by five miles per hour (and the 0-60 mph time drops by 0.3 seconds). The Supersports also benefits from a new torque converter which locks up faster allowing the car to make best use of the enhanced torque figure of 1,017 Nm (750 lb. ft.), and accelerate from standstill even more rapidly.

In order to rein in this immense performance the new Supersports is fitted with high-performance carbon ceramic brakes with enhanced cooling. The brake discs are the largest of their type in the world, providing excellent performance with minimal fade under extreme conditions. The brakes sit behind lightweight 21 48

November 2018

inch forged alloy wheels, together offering a 20 kg weight saving in unsprung mass. A further 5 kg weight-saving is offered via an optional titanium exhaust system. The new Supersports is the lightest-ever iteration of the current Continental GT and lighter than the 2009 four-seat Supersports model.

Enhancing the driver experience still further, the exhaust system has been redesigned to breathe more freely and provide an unmistakeable Bentley soundtrack, with down-shifts eliciting a rifle-fire crackle.

Controlled Handling and Unmatched Luxury This performance is matched by athletic handling. The Supersports has a specifically calibrated and updated version of the torque vectoring system first introduced on the Continental GT3-R. This dynamic system brakes individual front and rear wheels during acceleration out of corners to increase performance, whilst maintaining full power to wheels, and brakes the inside rear wheel on turn-in to improve agility. It also has a bespoke, less intrusive stability control calibration for a more precise chassis response.

The new Supersports retains the rear-biased torque split of Bentley’s all-wheel-drive system, sending 60 per cent of the engine’s power to the rear wheels as standard for a better balanced, more sporting character, but with the ability to adjust the front-rear power split depending on available traction. Despite the focus on sharper driving dynamics, the Supersports’ lowered and stiffened dynamic suspension set-up retains all of its luxurious ride quality for passengers wishing to cover long distances in supreme comfort.

Bespoke Design Signalling High-Performance Character The new Bentley Continental Supersports features unique exterior and interior styling cues which reflect the significant uplift in the performance capability of this pinnacle grand tourer. Exterior changes include newly sculpted front and rear bumper designs incorporating a carbon-fibre splitter and diffuser respectively, new side sill extensions and bonnet vents also finished in carbon-fibre, gloss-black front wing vents and a new gloss-black, rifled exhaust tailpipe design.

Completing the dramatic exterior look are dark-tint headlamps and tail-lamps, and a complement of black-finished bright ware to the front grilles, lights, rear bumper, door handles and window surrounds. There is also an optional, aerodynamically balanced rear spoiler and front splitter combination for the coupe, new Supersports badging, a new black and bright-machined finish for

the 21” forged alloy wheels and optional side decals. Further highlighting the enhanced performance, an optional gloss-finished, Supersports-branded carbon-fibre engine cover can be specified.

The new Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible offers the luxury and refinement of a coupé yet transforms into a head-turning open-tourer at the touch of a button. The multi-layer hood ensures high levels of refinement and acoustic insulation. Exhaustively tested in all conditions from -30°C to +50°C or more, it resists even monsoon-force rain and maintains comfortable, draft-free warmth even on the coldest days. Another practical feature, the neck warmer, makes open air driving an appealing and comfortable prospect even on the cooler days of spring and autumn. With the top down, the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible offers sensational performance with the sensory amplification of openair motoring. Top up, it’s as practical a year-round proposition as its coupé stable mate. Inside, a host of bespoke styling details enhance the contemporary British luxury experience.

A unique colour split has been created, using three colours: the first tri-tone interior offered in this generation Continental GT. A new diamond-quilted design is incorporated in the seats and door side panels for a unique signature in Alcantara, while chequered Supersports carbon-fibre fascia panels join the existing list of ten veneers and technical finishes available. The interior is completed by new Supersports emblem stitching, and a bespoke Supersports steering wheel and unique gear lever, both featuring Alcantara

accents. A titanium exhaust option is available for drivers seeking a more intense audible experience. As well as a stirring soundtrack, the Titanium system also provides a weight reduction.

For Supersports customers seeking even more personalisation, an ‘X Specification’ pack is available, consisting of eight unique duo-tone paint treatments and carbon-fibre door mirrors and heel plates. The titanium exhaust option is included, as is a carbon-fibre finish to the interior side panels, the carbon-fibre engine cover and a gloss black finish to the 21” forged wheels. As with all Bentleys, the Supersports can also be handed over to the highly skilled craftspeople at Mulliner, Bentley’s bespoke coach building department, who will respond to individual customer requirements.

Supersports: The Ultimate in Luxury and Performance The Bentley Continental Supersports of 2009 won global plaudits for its unique combination of extreme dynamics and unrivalled luxury. The new Supersports takes these characteristics to new heights of engineering excellence, transforming this model into the world’s fastest four-seat car and one that is, nonetheless, an everyday, usable luxury coupe or convertible. It sits at the pinnacle of Bentley’s luxury and performance ethos and is the ultimate iteration of a model that has come to define luxury automotive grand touring.

November 2018

Exotic Cars Magazine

By Yvonne Masters Correspondent It all started twenty years ago on a February vacation on the Island of Maui in the Hawaiian Islands.

Mike Bestwick, from Kingston, RI, was visiting a “lady friend” originally from Coventry, RI. He said she was a “Pam Anderson look-a-like.”

It was 1985 and Mike rented a 308 Ferrari to drive around Maui. As he recalls, “I was driving 100 miles an hour along these beautiful roads listening to Anita Baker.” Who would have thought?

I expected him to say he was listening to Guns ‘n Roses or Bon Jovi.

At least that is what I would have had on the radio that year driving that fast. To each his own. It was then that Mike fell in love with his first Ferrari.

Since then, he has been determined to find the perfect “toy.” Little did he know, twenty years later, his dream would come true, but with some hard work and dedication of course.

Michael Bestwick bought a family-owned Bait and Tackle shop from his father in 1989, located in North Kingstown, RI. It is the largest independent Tackle store in the state of Rhode Island, also selling canoes and kayaks.

Two years ago (2004), Mike decided to start a company called NESM, which stands for New England Sports Memorabilia.

He has all sorts of signed pictures, shirts and helmets, etc. I saw a Patriots helmet signed by all the players, which personally I thought was pretty cool What is really wonderful is that all the proceeds go to a number of different charities throughout the US. There are so many, but Mike listed the more common ones most people like myself have heard of.

A few of them include the Make a Wish Foundation, Special Olympics, the Lions Club, A Wish Come True, and several church groups.

He also has some signed pictures the the television show The Sopranos I had the please of seeing.

Mike took me to the sacred place where these things are, and it was quite a sight to see. What is funny, is that many people when looking up sports info on the Internet end up at his website.

Without even meaning to, sports fanatics end up at Mike’s site having a positive response, and they can find their favorite Pats, Sox or even Celtics memorabilia with the proceeds going to a wonderful cause.

Three months ago, Mike started his search for his dream car.

He had always wanted one since that drive around Maui, but wanted the perfect one that called to him. He thought about a Porsche too, but decided they are too common.

As it was in Twin Falls, Idaho, a 1988 Red Corsa Ferrari 328 GTS, with only 16,000 miles, was waiting for him on Ebay. It absolutely

had to be red too.

For such an expensive toy, Mike would not settle for anything less.

It had to be purrrrrfect. Waiting in Twin Falls, in a garage, a trickle charger keeping it alive as the doors were open and the Targa top was off so the rubber wouldn’t compress. I myself had never heard of it, so it was fun for me to learn this terminology.

I myself have a convertible top, which I love, and no, I don’t have a Ferrari.

The owner kept steel wool in the exhaust to keep out unwanted rodents and this beauty had never seen rain, and was stored all winter long in the cold Twin Falls climate.

Mike decided this was the perfect beautiful toy for him, and having waited so long, he made an offer which the owner took. Later, Mike told me the fastest he had driven it was 150 miles per hour and it

70

November 2018

still had plenty to go!

I asked him if he had a death wish, and he said no, just loved to drive fast. It is 3 inches off the ground and when you put the key in, it sounds like the soft purring of a very happy cat, ok, tiger..

Going for a ride was an experience in itself as that was definitely a head turner.

It was funny because an SUV, quite large actually, pulled up next to us at a stoplight during our ride and thought he was going to be a tough buy by trying to race us!

Yeah, right!

As soon as the light turned green, Mike barely touched the gas and we were gone, leaving the SUV far behind.

Zenvo TSR-S

By Sameer Shah Staff Writer Zenvo Automotive A/S (‘Zenvo’), the Danish high-performance automotive company, has unveiled its new model at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. The Zenvo TSR-S is positioned between the company’s TS1 GT car and its racetrack-bred sibling, the TSR, combining phenomenal on-road capabilities with ultimate exclusivity. The Zenvo TSR-S is a street legal version of the TSR - hence the ‘S’ in the model name. Featuring an innovative and striking new active multi-axis Centripetal Wing and an in-house developed twin supercharged V8 engine, production of the TSR-S is now underway within Zenvo’s limited production of just five cars a year.

Setting the car apart from its rivals, the TSR-S incorporates manually-adjustable performance settings including a variable power output. In addition, the unique dual gearbox set-up can switch between a standard road gearbox configuration and a brutal mechanical direct power-shift race set-up that delivers a genuine race car experience on the track. The TSR-S has been completely redesigned and reengineered for optimum aerodynamic performance. This, combined with a further improved

active rear differential and an advanced traction control system, helps the TSR-S to deliver an unrivalled performance on the road, for a genuinely unique hypercar experience.

Troels Vollertsen, Chief Technical Officer and Founder of the company, explains: “In developing the TSR-S, the utmost dedication and ambition of our team has driven us to achieve unprecedented levels of aerodynamic engineering capability for a road-going car. By converging the individual performance characteristics of the exceptional TS1 GT hypercar with the savage TSR track car we have created the ultimate Zenvo. The TSR-S is a once-in-a-generation car with cutting-edge technologies that will define new boundaries in automotive engineering, and will rightfully place it in the very highest echelons of the hypercar world.”

Zenvo Centripetal Wing: a patent-pending active rear wing system Since its formation in 2007, Zenvo has established a reputation for engineering excellence and innovation. Building on this foundation, advanced aerodynamic analysis and implementation of advanced airflow management on the Zenvo TSR-S helps the car generate more than three times as much

downforce as the TS1 GT. Central to this is the dramatic Zenvo Centripetal Wing. The ground-breaking rear wing has two rotational axes enabling it to function both as an air break and a cornering stabilizer. When the TSR-S corners, the wing rotates relative to the car’s longitudinal axis. This generates an inward force together with the conventional downforce, boosting inner tyre grip and cornering stability.

The Centripetal Wing is an exceptional development that allows for increased grip and higher cornering speed. Whereas most supercars only achieve optimum downforce in cornering at a certain speed, the multi-rotational function of the wing distributes downforce in an innovative way to deliver the optimum

an additional rear anti-roll bar. This provides additional grip to the inner wheel, reducing the chance of a loss of traction at the rear, and also ensuring increased downforce on the inner wheel.

The wing also functions as air brake when fully-rotated in an upright position.

amount of cornering grip at any speed. Whilst lifting to boost downforce, the wing also tilts while cornering - for example, lifting the left side of the wing when cornering left and vice versa, to propel the car to the inside of the corner, ensuring exceptional stability and grip.

The name ‘Centripetal’ directly refers to the centripetal force also known as ‘center seeking’ force. When in an absolutely horizontal position, a conventional rear wing generates a downforce perpendicular to the horizontal position of the wing: absolute vertical. When the centripetal wing tilts away from the absolute horizontal, the downforce stays perpendicular to the plane of the wing thereby generating a centripetal force.

This centripetal force reduces the tendency of the rear end to break away - a trait that is inherent for a mid-engine car.

Furthermore, the high pivot point of the wing allows it to act as

The new front splitter is designed to improve front to rear downforce distribution by generating front downforce and directing air to the underbody.

The front bumper is updated together with the front wheel housing outlets. Together they stabilise the air around the front wheels and direct air to the intercoolers. At the same time the front wheel housing outlets extracts air from the front underbody, improving downforce and decreasing drag.

The rear body of the car features major updates with an LMP1-inspired air scoop, new diffuser and the proprietary active rear wing. The diffuser is optimised to extract air from the underbody and decrease the rear tyre wake for increased stability.

Kasper Berthu Damkjær, Senior Fluid Mechanics Specialist and Aerotak ApS founder, participated in the development of the TSR-S aerodynamics. “The wing concept is focused on deliv-

Advanced aerodynamic design The aerodynamic development of the Zenvo TSR-S was focused on providing unprecedented driving dynamics. The centripetal rear wing is only one contributor to the comprehensive new aerodynamic package. Other unique and innovative new features collaborate to improve stability, cornering and braking.

ering high downforce while increasing the tyre load on the inboard tyres when cornering,” says Damkjær. “Conventional movable wing and flap designs, focused on inboard tyre load, function by a penalty concept where downforce is increased on the inboard section of the cornering car but not on the outboard section. “The TSR-S wing concept is able to maintain the high downforce and generate a large inwards directed force. When the wing is tilted, downforce is only decreased by 3%, while an inward directed force of 30% of the wing downforce is generated.”

Advanced engineering provides personalised driving characteristics for Zenvo TSR-S Zenvo has developed a reputation among hypercar enthusiasts around the world for offering clients a truly unique blend of power, performance and prestige. Using extensive lightweight carbon-fibre and other hybrid composite materials as well as unique drivetrain, the quality of Zenvo engineering and the precision quality of production are worthy successors of Denmark’s innovative ancestors.

The Zenvo TSR-S comes so close to a genuine track car that is still drivable on the public road, combining phenomenal handling capabilities with ultimate exclusivity. The TSR-S has two faces - it can provide drivers with a usable, easy-to-drive hypercar for the road, but also has the potential for drivers to alter the car’s characteristics, with a number of adjustable performance settings that can turn it into a performance-focused racer.

There are three settings - Minimum (700bhp), IQ, and Maximum (1177bhp). IQ is an autonomous setting that cleverly provides ‘race-car for the road’ driving characteristics. The advanced traction control system continuously assesses the grip of the tyres on the road and limits the power accordingly. Where traction allows, the IQ setting will ensure maximum power is delivered to the rear wheels whenever possible. For the driver, it is the experience provided by the two distinct gearbox settings that most makes this car feel like a genuine race car. The gearbox comprises a 7-speed

paddle shift gearbox with helical-cut dog gears. The set-up can switch between standard road gearbox directly to a race gearbox operation - a development that is unique to Zenvo. In Race setting, the brutal direct mechanical power-shift gearchange is one of the fastest-shifting powertrains in existence. In Road setting, the gearchange is electronic, with sensors adjusting the gearchange to remove the harshness so often experienced by a dog box, for a more a more relaxing drive in everyday use.

Performance-focused exterior styling - inspired by nature The Zenvo TSR-S takes the powerful Danish design philosophy of previous Zenvo success stories and complements them in new ways. For instance, the piercing headlights, inspired by a sharpeyed eagle stalking its prey before diving down to take the prize, are enhanced by a redesigned carbon fibre splitter that adds to the purposeful stance. The aggressively muscular haunches on the side profile also reflect the power of nature, reminiscent of a lion crouched on its haunches, ready to launch into action.

The redesigned headlights feature Bi-LED headlamps and daytime running lights, indicators, and a drag-reducing air duct. This configuration is developed to minimise weight and adds considerable visual impact, making the front of the Zenvo TSR-S look even more aggressive and purposeful than the original TS1 GT. As with the headlight housing, the redesigned rear light frame features a duct venting the rear wheel housing. Rear lights are reduced to only one cluster unit per side in order to save weight - there is even only one licence plate lamp at the rear, highlighting the attention to detail provided by Zenvo’s engineers in their efforts to reduce weight.

Weight Reduction Every detail of the minimalistic driver-focused interior of the TSR-S reflects the overall performance-focused philosophy of a track day car. Unnecessary weight has been eliminated from the cockpit: in its ultimate configuration, the car has no sound system or speakers, no satellite navigation, no air conditioning, no airbags,

and mechanically operated seats, although clients can specify any level of equipment they desire. Continuing the high-performance theme, the materials and trim finish are race-inspired. The steering wheel features a switch that has been adopted directly from racing, while the bespoke Zenvo TSR-S carbon seat shells are clad in lightweight 3D cushioned fabric designed to reduce heat from the driver and race-suit-gripping Alcantara, and can be fitted with six-point racing harnesses. All surfaces have been stripped back to expose the structural carbon fibre, with parts upholstered in Alcantara only where it is necessary to eliminate reflections in the windscreen. In contrast to the TS1 GT - where Zenvo offers a wide range of precious metals for all CNC-machined trim parts - the TSR-S features a black anodised aluminium trim underlining the racing ambience of the cabin - although customers can choose their own colours here should they wish. The instrument cluster display graphics are completely redesigned for the TSRS, featuring a horizontal rev-counter inspired by retro racers from the 1980s, and central gear selection indicator. The simplicity in the display reflects the stripped-back nature of the car and emphasises to the driver the most important information they need when driving fast, for example the current gear selection and engine revs.

A total of five cars are allocated annually, which makes it unlikely for owners to ever encounter another Zenvo in the wild. Unique to the exclusive world of hypercar ownership, Zenvo offers its cli-

ents a bespoke personalised watermark graphic set beneath the high-gloss finish on the carbon fibre panels, using a meticulous process carried out by master craftsmen. To demonstrate, the TSR-S show car presented in Geneva features a unique graphic that features elements of the Zenvo logo. The smooth graphic starts at the bonnet, continues over the roof and concludes at the rear, including on the Centripetal Wing.

Peter Van Rooy, Zenvo Marketing Director, explains: “Like all of our cars, the Zenvo TSR-S is 100% Danish-designed and handbuilt in an extremely limited number. Each car is fully customisable and built to order, tailored according to the precise specifications of the discerning client. As an example, small details may hint at the nationality of the owner, such as a subtle expression of their country’s flag in designated locations in the cockpit, engine bay and the exterior graphic. We call it ‘Patriotic Ownership’, and it is reminiscent of heritage vehicles such as original Minis that carried British flag decals.”

The Zenvo TSR-S also celebrates the wider wonders of nature, demonstrated in the display model for Geneva in a lustrous ‘Laguna Roja’ paint finish, representing the rich hues of the freshwater ‘Red Lagoon’ in Chile. This stunning colour is highlighted by orange accents symbolising the motorsports theme.
