Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Black Widow comes to the rescue in Chicago

Fans of Captain America can expect to see Chevrolet's seventh-generation Corvette Stingray when the superhero's latest flick, <i>Captain America: The Winter Soldier</i>,
 hits theaters on April 4. But it won't be Cap driving the Stingray on 
the big screen, it'll be the beautiful and deadly Black Widow, played by
 Scarlett Johansson.<br />

ScarJo's Stingray has made its official debut at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show,
 and while the actress herself wasn't onstage when it rolled out, sadly,
 we were able to get a close look at her car. From what we can tell, 
this is nothing more than a black-on-black Stingray. That may not ring 
true in the film, though, so keep an eye open for Black Widow's Chevy when the new Captain America movie hits theaters.<br />

Mansory Carbonado Aventador First Impression

Mansory have been on a role of late. Their workshop has been pumping out
 highly engineered, top quality tuning works for some of the most 
extreme supercars on the market. Perhaps the biggest of these projects 
was the Mansory Carbonado – based on the Lamborghini Aventador. When 
Mansory offered us an exclusive first look at this monster supercar, we 
jumped at the opportunity!<br />
<br />

Unlike the Mansory F12 Stallone
 we tested previously, we weren’t allowed to drive the Mansory 
Carbonado. So instead of offering you a driving experience, we have a 
set of awesome photos and a first impression on the package as a whole. 
After our experience, the car was shipped from the factory to its new 
owner.<br />
Kourosh Mansory’s company is based in Brand, Germany which was the 
destination for our short experience. The car itself was unveiled at the
 Geneva Motor Show 2013 and took centre stage on the Mansory stand. It 
attracted more attention than any other tuning car on display, we were 
about to find out why!<br />

Carbon fibre is a Mansory speciality. The Mansory Carbonado is a 
moving display room in that respect. The Carbonado uses a world-first 
Stealth effect carbon fibre weave. The weaves actually resemble the 
shape of the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk which creates this fantastic and 
very unique effect. We have no idea how Mansory have managed to do this 
although it is mighty impressive. The Stealth Fighter weaves are 
complemented on this particular car by a matte finish, similar in colour
 to the real F-117. <br />
As with every Mansory project, the design of the Mansory Carbonado is
 the most interesting aspect. In fact, we’d go as far as saying that it 
takes tuning to the another level! Every single element of the Mansory 
bodykit is bespoke and constructed from carbon fibre.Mansory makes its 
own carbon fibre from an on-site autoclave. Up close, the quality is 
perfect and the surfaces are very smooth.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-90520" height="426" src="http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Mansory-Carbonado-Doors-Up-640x426.jpg" title="Mansory Carbonado Doors Up" width="640" /><br />
<br />
The panels include a striking new front skirt. The front vents are 
deeper than on the standard version. Carbon fibre side flicks rise from 
the side and a front splitter. The stealth shaped daytime running lights
 complement the theme. <br />
The bonnet receives a complete redesigned with different contour 
lines and two sets of aggressive air vents on either side. The new side 
panels add 40 millimetres of width at the front and 50 millimetres at 
the rear axle. The side skirts have a bespoke Mansory design and the 
doors get new contours.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-90521" height="357" src="http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Mansory-Carbonado-Rear-640x357.jpg" title="Mansory Carbonado Rear" width="640" /><br />
<br />
The rear looks similar to the Mansory Aventador kit we previously 
tested. It gets a huge rear diffuser, a slatted rear vent with stealth 
fighter shaped mesh and a rear spoiler. The roof and engine cover are 
also bespoke. Finally, the exhaust is now separated into three distinct 
exits. <br />
To look at, the quality of the Mansory Carbonado is something quite 
special. The panels fit as though they came from Lamborghini’s own 
production line. The carbon weaves between body panels line up as best 
as can be expected. Every part fits the expectation Mansory’s insane 
price tags demands.<br />
Okay, so we’ve established that the bodywork is pretty special. So 
what of the engine and mechanicals? Mansory have given the Aventador’s 
6.5 litre Lamborghini V12 a thorough workout. In short, the power now 
matches the insane body.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-90522" height="426" src="http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Mansory-Carbonado-Aventador-640x426.jpg" title="Mansory Carbonado Aventador" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Mansory fitted twin turbochargers together with new pistons, 
connecting rods, rod bearings, crankshaft, crank and cylinder head. 
Mansory claims the power raised from 700 hp to a staggering 1,250 hp. 
Torque has improved too although to protect components this figure has 
been limited to just 900 Nm. Performance from zero to 100 km/h is just 
2.6 seconds. Top speed now stands at 380 km/h. From what we gather, none
 of these figures have been real-world tested, but instead estimated 
using mathematics and taking into account the various tolerances of each
 individual part.<br />
<br />
The most impressive thing about the entire performance package though
 is undoubtedly the brand new exhaust system. It is a complete system 
from manifold to tailpipes. Constructed from stainless steel, it gives a
 monster soundtrack! Running at the airstrip, the car sounded like no 
other Lamborghini Aventador we had ever heard and comes closer to the 
sound of a F1 car than any road car. It has a brutal rasp to it, even 
moreso than the Mansory Aventador we tested on a previous visit to Brand. Also evident is the turbo whistle.<br />

The Mansory Carbonado gets a set of Mansory ultralight forged wheels.
 They feature carbon inlays to match the rest of the car. The sizing is 
9.0 x 20 inches and 13.0 x 21 inches with Pirelli P Zero tyres in VA 
255/30 ZR20 and HA 345/25 ZR21 sizes.<br />
Mansory are also has a reputation to maintain for their special 
interiors. This car is no different. The Carbonado interior features a 
complete redesign with black processed leather and white leather 
accents. Stitching is white contrast and parts of the dash have been 
replaced with a stealth carbon fibre. Incase you forget where you are, 
there are plenty of Carbonado and Mansory badges!<br />
<img alt="Mansory Carbonado GTspirit First Impression" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-90442" height="422" src="http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gtspirit-mansory-carbonado-0032-640x422.jpg" title="Mansory Carbonado GTspirit First Impression" width="640" /><br />
<br />
The Carbonado actually feels much more modern than the standard 
Aventador. Lamborghini Aventadors generally leave the factory with 
sedate interiors, yet the Carbonado has a variety of different surfaces.
 It is more interesting as a result. The carbon fibre weave is 
impressive and works well with the colour scheme. The quality is very 
impressive too. Evidently, a lot of work has gone in to making this car 
very special! <br />
Mansory have developed a trademark modification for the Lamborghini 
Aventador as we found out with the previous Mansory Aventador. They 
mount the starter button to the headliner! Whilst that felt unnecessary 
in the earlier car, in this stealth jet themed monster, it just feels 
right. It makes you feel as though you should be asking permission from 
the control tower for take-off!<br />
<br />

<br />
The Mansory Carbonado really has done something quite special for the
 German brand. We’ve seen their unique take on these bespoke cars in the
 past with various Aston Martin and Ferrari 458 Italia based projects. 
The Mansory Carbonado raises the bar even further. <br />
Since this car was first unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last year,
 Mansory have already built two further cars. The first is a Coupé with 
glossy carbon fibre coachwork, the second is a Roadster, converted just 
after the first cars were delivered. For Mansory to find further 
trusting customers for their bonkers million Euro tuned Lamborghini is 
testament to the product itself. We were thoroughly impressed!

Ducati Sports Bikes

The style is consistent throughout the whole bike as well. The turn 
signals and taillights all have the same 70s styling; the single 
headlight and racing stripe right down the middle, it’s all part of the 
same minimalist look.<br /><br />This is the real deal though, not just a 
pretty face. The engine is immensely powerful, it does whatever you want
 it to do, I was tempted to just ride away, go as far away as possible, 
leave everything behind and just start a new life. Me and the bike. It’s
 inexplicable, it just feels good. It has a musical, harmonious rumble.<br /><br />The
 seating position is undoubtedly awkward. The stretch is even more 
extreme than a lot of the modern sport bikes. It puts a bit of a kink in
 your neck, but it’s worth it. Even if I couldn’t take it over 35, it’d 
still be worth it for the looks you get in the city.<br />

 irony is, I’m young enough still to drive this machine at the speeds 
which it was meant to be driven, without reservation, and to cruise 
around the city stretched and bent into it’s weirdly radical driver’s 
position, yet relatively unbothered by the pressure on my wrists and 
back. But this purchase will put a frightening dent in my finances, if I
 can afford it at all. For the lucky older guys though, the ones who can
 easily afford this $11,500 dollar toy and do appreciate the beauty of 
the old café racer styling, it’s probably too unforgiving on their 
bodies to even be a real consideration. Terrible irony. <br /><img alt="" border="0" height="480" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621298776267116242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYXW0e7oUcIgpjJxqj_LwhxaNnj6DhAoM4A3_6SYlWKD9QNDVGpnYkg8hjA_Eo8651KefrCZ-YveXx2fFKDTOfVPdYzs9aRMWZsinvvBYGRBrRW3xtGZYtMCrX8VAiDN8Ir8iuYzOz-cIV/s640/Ducati_848_08_8.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /><br /><img alt="" border="0" height="426" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621298771165570018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-DiL37KX52FqahBeblSO1z-fUv53pfdARid1NoXlnc6zuF2GtiVWI1Hq_kkn2c7cRZmVLA_yeC4S3_ggTRT3-5E156lu4mdHB7dha9oqpXAV-hQh8fBQFOx3idjuOqhkf4ZdW3egt_Kht/s640/2010-Ducati-Streetfighter-Sports-Bike.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /><br /><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621298764514785682" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKRMrx3-osGuojWJB2tQ_5rqLbwFIoB2mU-HOaBSl-FGgKgKmj6SfPavKn1xqLa22F2o4BUcHfxw8Tzx-QKKoIymShKyxUseg2A2ZrWSioSLXjq_GlOIG_OcUUwsjfhM2-s1UrK50wBL35/s640/2008_Ducati_848_Showroom-758353.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="630" /><br /><img alt="" border="0" height="480" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621298758239337634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh05Eg4qjI186l-hiQ_t2bz55Mt0sQLYtkk2txZ0Bu_NN-QAjMFn-pcI9FCVGwj4qAxx20-eoCIUKJgf-nwH_kBsm9h4EWH1IxUxJQDXwyIFDeCvQO1ahdW03AvvTXCv6egWRKk_SKcnfyz/s640/2007-Ducati-1098SSuperbikee-small.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" />Ducati Sports BikeLet’s break down the specs first:<br />The
 Ducati Sport 1000 Biposto (two-seater) has a type L-twin cylinder 
air-cooled engine with just under 1000cc displacement (992cc). The bike 
has a wet weight (with gas and fluids and battery) of 436 pounds, and a 
tank that holds 3.9 gallons of fuel. But it’s so much more than the sum 
of its parts.<br /><br />Ducati did it up on the Sport 1000. You can see the
 quality everywhere. The retro instrument panel with the 6 multi colored
 indicator lights: warning light for low oil pressure, indicators for 
high beam, fuel reserve, turn signals, etc etc. The white backed/retro 
lettered speedometer and rev counter with chrome trim. The attention to 
detail is just fantastic.

Suzuki Racing Bikes

The plan was simple: Make a full-on, race-ready Heavyweight Superbike, 
but make it docile enough to be an everyday street bike. Okay, maybe not
 so simple. Typically a race bike is finicky, idles high, runs hot when 
not at speed, etc.; not very conducive to street use. But what 
sportbike, street or trackday rider doesn’t dream of owning a superbike 
that can be ridden to the coffee shop every Sunday? That’s just plain 
cool. So, we did it anyway! Well, Grant Matsushima at MPT Racing did it 
for us. In our recent do-it-all sportbike shootout the Suzuki GSX-R750 
came out on top by virtue of its incredible all-around capabilities both
 on the street and racetrack. But we all would have liked some 
additional<br />power. This is where Matsushima first came into the 
equation. Originally consulted to build a “street-able superbike 
engine,” he quickly jumped at the task of building the entire 
motorcycle, leaving us to simply gather the parts needed. Thanks, Grant!<br />

With a fairly subtle design compared to some variants of the Lamborghini
 Gallardo and inevitably future versions of the Huracan, the Ferrari 458 Italia
 is a great looking supercar. As a matter of fact, it’s just an awesome 
looking car in general. Nevertheless, this didn’t stop Vogue Auto Design
 and Gray Design from teaming up to create what they dub the Ferrari 
F458 Curseive.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Ferrari F458 Curseive features a selection of visual and 
aerodynamic changes making it one of the most outlandish tuned 458 
Italia’s we’ve ever laid eyes on. More specifically, the F458 Curseive 
features an entirely new body kit including a new bumper, revised dual 
air intakes, canards as well as the air grilles above the front wheels.<br />

Down the side, this particular example features bright orange accents
 which are featured across much of the car including the aforementioned 
front bumper as well as the roof. At the rear, the Ferrari F458 Curseive
 by Vogue Auto Design and Gray Design features a prominent ducktail 
spoiler, new rear diffuser, air outlets, canards and two exhaust tips 
instead of the three of the standard Ferrari 458 Italia.<br />

All of the aforementioned parts can be created from carbon fiber or

example, painted in whatever colour scheme desired.<br />
Completing the changes are new Bilstein PSS9 coilovers along with wider wheels.

For its debut in the US racing scene, Reiter Engineering divides its 
attentions. Tomas Enge will drive a Reiter Lamborghini Gallardo FL2 GT3 
in the GT class, while Albert von Thurn und Taxis appears in a second 
Reiter Lamborghini Gallardo FL2 GT3 among the amateur racers in the GTA.
 
<br />

Tomas Enge will be reunited with the twisty 14-turn, 2.9 kilometre long 
track in Florida during the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg event where the
 Pirelli World Challenge supports the IndyCar Series, the biggest US 
series for single-seaters. After retiring from the lead of the American 
Le Mans Series race in 2007 following a heavy accident, the Czech aims 
to finish the job he started in St. Petersburg and take a podium 
position for Reiter Engineering in 2014. “I still have a score to settle
 with this track and am very confident that we can score an excellent 
result here.”

For Albert von Thurn und Taxis, it will be his first race on American soil.

The Regensburg aristocrat has gathered experience on European and Asian 
race tracks so far in his career. “I’ve dreamt about racing in the 
States for a long time, and am now obviously really looking forward to 
my debut in the Pirelli World Series. The whole team can’t wait to lay 
some rubber on the streets of St Petersburg and measure our car with the
 competition from overseas!” 
<br />

The Pirelli World Challenge is the first series on the North American 
continent to allow FIA GT3 cars to compete without modifications. Strong
 competition is expected from Ferrari, Audi, Mercedes, Aston Martin, 
Cadillac and Acura, with a strong contingent of professional drivers 
well-known in Europe. 
<br />

Hans Reiter, owner of the racing stable Reiter Engineering, explains the
 importance of competing in the race: “The American market is very 
important for us, which is why we decided to be present at the track to 
be able to advise and support potential American customers as well as 
possible – which they obviously deserve.”
<br />

Every Pirelli World Challenge race is broadcast on TV by the NBC Sports 
Network at primetime as well as via live stream online at 
www.world-challengetv.com. 
<br />

<strong>Tomas Enge</strong><br />
<br />

The 37-year old Czech has been racing since 1991 and followed the 
classic route from karting via Formula Ford (FF Deutschland Champion 
1996), Formula 3 and Formula 3000 all the way to Formula 1 and IndyCar. 
Enge also made his first exploratory steps in sportscars at this time. 
In this discipline, he is credited with a class victory in the 24h of Le
 Mans, wins and podiums in the ALMS and the LMP1 title in the 2009 Le 
Mans Series. Since 2012, Tomas Enge is a member of the Reiter 
Engineering team, with whom he also competed in the FIA GT World 
Championship
<br />

<strong>Albert von Thurn und Taxis</strong><br /> 
<br />

Thurn und Taxis races for Reiter Engineering since 2006. Together with 
the Bavarian based team, he was ADAC GT Masters championship runner-up 
in 2007 and 2008, before going on to win the title in 2010 with Peter 
Kox. The 30-year old is a descendent of the von Thurn und Taxis family, 
which was elevated to royal status in the 15th century and resides since
 1748. The family is also accredited with the invention of modern-day 
postal services.

New Sportier-Trimmed 2015 Nissan Note SR Arrives in Chicago

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">No, no, Nissan hasn't decided to really heat up the latest generation of its Note hatchback;
 instead, it relies on a new and sportier-flared trim named SR to spice 
up interest in the car for the 2015MY, which is making its debut at the Chicago Auto Show along with another new grade, the SL.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKqZjEfMK0_XAl6nJhZCKM6LVhyphenhyphengqJtWlorR_4anP0fvR37peP7pDAl_2fQ3Q2YjaZB8DvSTtECnoUpSzAclX3osYT0ejL-O5MfnkhjgwtBGvLiADT8RD2xxXJ8sSMbRLhhJsubdGpH6aa/s1600/Nissan-Note-SR-2.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The new Note SR keeps the standard 
109-horsepower, 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine paired to an 
Xtronic transmission and capable of returning up to 40mpg highway, 
adding some visual enhancements both inside and out. </span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">At
 the front end, there's a new grille that works together with darker 
headlamps, standard fog lights with black and chrome accents, while 
other additions include the body-color side spoilers, new mirrors with 
integrated turn signals, a roof spoiler, SR badging and dark-finish 
16-inch alloys in 195/55R16 tires.</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Interior appointments come in the form of a 370Z-inspired
 leather-wrapped steering wheel, along with suede-like fabric seats with
 orange accents and double stitching, a redesigned piano black center 
instrument panel with silver accents and chrome knobs, and what Nissan 
describes as a "Euro-inspired Fine Vision triple-dial gauge cluster with
 floating trip computer".</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">As for the 
other new trim level, the Note SL doesn't add any cosmetic features, but
 it does improve the hatchback's standard equipment with fog lights, 
NissanConnect and NissanConnect Apps, a 5.0-inch color display, RearView
 Monitor, iPod Connectivity, Push Button Ignition and Easy Fill Tire 
Alert.</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Nissan has not yet released pricing for the two new Note models.</span><br />
<br />
