Lamborghini Jota Hits The Road 2011

Mum's the word on that one, but don't be surprised if it makes an early appearance at the Paris Motor Show later this year, with the first sales being made in mid 2011. When will we see the production ready Jota? Seven speed transmissions, in both automated manual and sequential styles will be on hand, helping the Jota storm to 60 mph in just three seconds, on its way up to a top speed of 220 mph.


The Jota will be lighter, more powerful and more high tech than the outgoing Murcielago – curb weight is estimated to be around 3,300 pounds, and a new 7.0 liter V12 is in the works, rumored to produce over 700 horsepower and 520 pound feet of torque. When the Jota launches in 2011, it will have some relatively big shoes to fill, but Lamborghini is definitely prepared to do battle with the next generation of supercars. We've already caught sight of heavily camouflaged prototypes in testing, and it appears that the highly anticipated supercar is on the move again, this time on public roads. It's no secret that Lamborghini is working hard to get its Murcielago replacement, the Jota, out the door.

Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Concept Is White Hot Glory 2011

Hit the jump for the full press release and check out our gallery below. The biggest weight savings, however, has to come from the polycarbonate rear window which is also lifted straight from the C6R. Chevrolet has also bolted on a new raised carbon fiber hood along with carbon headlight housings to shave a few pounds. The suspension wizards at PFADT were so kind as to supply a set of mono ball control arm bushings, adjustable stabilizer bars and a complete coilover suspension, too. Under the hood, the standard LS7 V8 benefits from a new low restriction intake and a more robust coolant system. Throw in an adjustable rear wing borrowed straight from the C6R along with a full SCCA roll cage and you've got the bones for go fast trackday goodness. Built by the Corvette legends at Pratt and Miller, this Satin White machine started its life as a Z06 with the CFZ carbon-fiber package. Called the Corvette Z06X, the bruiser is effectively a race-ready behemoth with a host of suspension tweaks and a slew of weight reducing materials on board. Chevrolet was kind enough to give us a sneak sampling of what the company has planned for SEMA 2010, and the star of the show looks to be the car you see above.

Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Concept 2011

The CFZ package offers body components that enhance aerodynamic down force on the race track, including a front splitter. The 2011 Z06 with the Z07 package creates the lightest production Corvette and includes carbon ceramic brakes and Magnetic Ride Control. This concept car represents a mid-point between our GT race car and the production Z06, prepared by the team responsible for the Corvette Racing C6.R race cars, and featuring many performance parts owners can choose today. The Z06X concept is based on the Corvette Z06 with the 1LZ equipment package, along with the Z07 Performance Package and CFZ Carbon Fiber Package. Chevrolet teamed with Pratt and Miller, partners in Corvette Racing in the American LeMans Series, to create the concept. Racing is an integral part of Corvette performance and technology, said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer. The Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Concept shows how enthusiasts can use the brand’s expanding portfolio of performance parts to create a full on track car. To celebrate and suggest new ideas and components for the transformation of the production Corvette into a serious, closed course track car, Chevrolet will debut the Corvette Z06X Concept at the 2010 SEMA Show. Chevrolet motorsport portfolio is pretty expansive ranging from LeMans to club racing.

However, the Italian automaker is showing us that the current generation of the vehicle still has plenty to offer. This is expected to come with downsizing solutions and AWD and should hit the market in 2014.

Color Yellow And Blak Subaru Impreza WRX STI 2011

The closest competitor to the STi is probably the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, which I drove briefly at a recent The sedan's Limited trim rings in at $37,345. The WRX STi starts at $33,995 for the new base sedan model, which is what I drove during my test drive, and $35,995 for the base hatchback model. Subaru's legendary all wheel drive system, which is standard, kept this baby bolted safely to the road. I didn't have much luck, though. However, I couldn't resist trying a little corner slide or two as I skipped the highway in favor of the twisty, curvy dirt frontage road. I've been to a couple of rally racing schools and know just enough about it to realize how much I don't know. STi stands for Subaru Tecnica International, which supplies high performance versions of Subaru vehicles. The STi is aimed at those interested in attending organized track days. However, if you already have the STi and the family just sort of happens upon you (do we need to have a birth-control discussion?), you can probably make it work for a bit before needing to upgrade. I tried to make the two worlds coexist harmoniously during my one week test drive, but the truth is the Impreza WRX STi isn't exactly a car you'd go out and buy for a growing family. It's a world that's less centered on booster seats and storage cubbies and more focused on rally racing heritage, speed and oversized rear spoilers. Driving the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STi transported me to a world that was completely foreign.

Subaru Impreza WRX STI 2011Has Wing and Needs Gold

Subaru claims that while this has no bearing on horsepower or torque, it makes the car sound. Meaner and louder. We mentioned to Subaru Also, the sedan STI features two mufflers (still has four pipes) as opposed to the wagon's one giant muffler (and four pipes). However, since there's less weight over the rear wheels (and since the STI's diff is slightly rear biased) they might be a bit slower. Since the sedan is marginally lighter than the five-door, 0-60 mph times might improve. While power is unchanged (305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque), high-speed stability of the four door is greatly improved, as is at the limit handling, by you guessed it that mega wing. The 2011 STI also sports less unsprung weight than the 2010 model due to lighter 18 inch wheels that are a combined 17.6 pounds less heavy. New for the STI(s) this year is an improved suspension consisting of stiffer bushings, stiffer springs, and thicker anti-roll bars at both ends of the car. awkward looking (we know, we know) that the looks are actually improved by a 14 inch wing. Or at least admit that the four door Impreza body is so... And while we love hot little performance wagons, you have to admit the wing is pretty sweet. That's right, you can also buy the five-door STI. This is the first time that Subaru has ever offered an STI in two body styles. For the first time in three years, Subaru is offering up a four-door sedan version of their performance icon, the WRX STI.

Car News Subaru Impreza WRX STI 2011

As mentioned although it hasn’t yet been officially announced. Subaru confirms that all the above will be reflected on the five door hatchback when the 2011 BBS brand 18s will continue to be optional, and both rollers will come wearing summer only 245/40 Dunlop SP600 rubber. New standard 18 inch wheels are said to save a total of 17.6 pounds over the old rims. But differentiating the STI from the lesser WRX is the huge rear spoiler. Subie says it enhances high speed stability and helps achieve zero aerodynamic lift and polished quad tailpipes. Like the 11 WRX, the grille is revised, the bumpers are more aggressive, and the fog lights are blacked-out. Beyond its new sedan body style, the STI gains some other aesthetic tweaks for 2011. Subaru says that extensive testing on the Nürburgring resulted in crisper handling while maintaining a livable ride. Stiffer springs to the tune of 15.6 percent in the front and 53 percent in the rear are installed, as are more rigid rear subframe bushings and new pillow ball bushings in the front. Compared with last year’s STI, the ride has been lowered and both the front and rear anti roll bars have been beefed-up in diameter by 1 mm. The upgrades made to create the 2010 STI Special Edition were only the beginning, the 11 STI goes further with an even more aggressive suspension to reduce body roll and create more neutral handling. With 305 hp already on tap from the STI’s turbocharged flat-four, there wasn’t much need for more power, so Subaru’s engineers focused on what needed help the most, the suspension and on road handling.

New Designs for 2011 In front, the 2011 WRX STI models feature sharpened bumper corners and wider, blacked-out fog lamp nacelles to accentuate the "wide and low" profile.

Thorough and painstakingly detailed chassis development, including testing on Germany's famed Nurburgring racetrack, has resulted in the best-handling Impreza WRX STI models Subaru has ever offered. Most recently, the 2010 WRX STI Special Edition previewed some of the suspension enhancements now migrated to the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. The Subaru Impreza WRX STI has been a recipient of continuous improvement since its introduction. In addition to the new styling, the 2011 WRX STI features significantly revised suspension tuning and lighter 18 inch wheels for even sharper handling. This will be the first time that the Subaru Impreza WRX STI has been offered in two body styles (5 door and 4 door). Subaru of America introduced a new 4 door version of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI performance flagship model.
