Chevrolet Camaro 2017 ZL1





CHEVROLET CAMARO ZL1 (2017).










The iconic ZL1 has been reinvented for the 
sixth-generation Camaro and is purpose-built
 to challenge the most advanced sports coupes
in the world. A refined, driver-focused cockpit helps you get 
every last bit of performance from the supercharged 6.2L LT4 
engine. Rocketing from 0-to-60 in just 3.5 seconds, running a 
quarter mile in 11.4 seconds and pulling up to 1.02 g in g’s, ZL1 
is a sports car designed to dominate
in any setting.



DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE

Sweeping design accommodates airflow in this performance masterpiece.An all-new front fascia features massive upper and lower grille openings for maximum cooling.A functional carbon-fiber composite hood air extractor moves air from the engine compartment to decrease lift, while a more aggressive front splitter and rocker moldings complete this sophisticated aero package. 


From the broader front fender that house wider wheels and tires, to the downforce of its three- stanchion spoiler,ZL1 is design to maintain a high level of performance from the first lap to the last.











Interior


Take hold of the flat-bottom, suede-wrapped steering wheel as the roar of the dual-modeexhaust rings through the tech-appointed cabin. Standard RECARO® performance seats with sueded-microfiber inserts put you into the perfect position with cleverly designed bolsters that keep you planted in place and help reduce arm interference during quick shifts. 
Put your hand on the suede shifter, press your foot down on the accelerator and you’re off.

Open series is Available

Available early 2017, the fully automatic convertible soft-top seamlessly hides behind a hard, body-colored tonneau cover when you want a taste of the open air. And it can be lowered by the press of a button or remotely using the key fob — even while driving up to 30 mph, so you don’t have to stop to lower the top.


Look for the 2017 Camaro ZL1 to carry a starting price upwards of $60,000

Nissan GT-R (2017)

NISSAN GT-R 

                                (2017)



Nissan states the GT-R can reach a top speed of 193 mph (311 km/h), Motor Trend recorded a top speed of 195.0 mph (313.8 km/h). In tests the original production model was shown to be capable of achieving 0-60 mph (97 km/h) times as low as 2.7 seconds using "launch control.

" Owners expressed concern that duplicating the times achieved in these tests would void their factory warranty. Nissan's chief vehicle engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno has indicated that he has never used the term "launch control", which refers to the act of turning off vehicle dynamic control (VDC) and launching the car at around 4500 rpm.However, Nissan's director of product planning John Wiener stated in an interview with Jay Leno that "we (Nissan) actually offer a 'launch mode'". 

The GT-R user's manual states that turning off the VDC is only meant for escaping low-traction situations such as mud or snow. Nissan has re-programmed the 2010 model year GT-R to reduce the engine speed at launch to around 3,000-3,500 rpm with VDC enabled, which is meant to improve acceleration times. 

The new programming was also installed on old 2009 vehicles still in Nissan's inventory, and is available for existing 2009 vehicles.The updated GT-R now has a launch mode called "R-Mode Start". The system allows a maximum of 4 consecutive hard launches before locking itself out, after which it can be unlocked by driving normally for 1.5 miles. 

The increased engine output of later models combined with the "R-Mode Start" has lowered the 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time to 2.7 seconds.Motor Trend achieved a standing quarter-mile time of 11.6 s at 120.0 mph (193.1 km/h).Autocar achieved a 0-100 mph (160 km/h) time of 8.5 seconds.
