Press Release
SUCCESSFUL RESUSCITATION by CSR Automotive
After several years of hesitation, VW - not least because of pressure from the customers - has won through to reanimation of its warm Mediterranean wind Scirocco. Good news, because many professional tuners have in the meantime put into action their version of a still further perfected Scirocco. Thus, the company CSR Automotive from Nurnberg is in a good company, but it presents a stunning version of the Mediterranean wind that has no parallels.
Originally from the 2009, Scirocco III was equipped with a turbocharged engine with an in-house body kit consisting of a single-frame front grille, side skirts and a rear apron from the O-Line-Design, the upper and lower rear wings, "bad-look" headlight trims and a stainless steel rear silencer with suitable outlets.
The obvious effect is also provided by a partial foil design in carbon-look.
The alpha and omega of any redevelopment continues to be a successful tire / wheel combination that can never be spectacular enough. And now - once again - Schmidt Revolution (www.FELGE.de) from Bad Segeberg comes into play. Thanks to its rims Cirrus with carbon-look parts (wheel assembly costs 3400 euro) in the dimensions of 8.5x20" with 235/30 ZR20 tires from Toyo at the front or 10.5x20" with 285/25 ZR20 - at the rear axles, Schmidt comes near to the ideal of "perfect footwear" for the Scirocco.
There is only the pious hope to sit in the sports chair and go on. That is quite feasible ...

FanVision Unveils Upgraded G3 Unit at the Qantas Australian Grand Prix
FanVision G3 Delivers Access to Live Race Broadcasts, Instant Replays, Live Audio and Race Stats
F1 fans appreciate the connection between technology and speed. FanVision’s new G3 unit launched today at the Qantas Australian Grand Prix, in Melbourne with an upgraded live-event, handheld broadcast experience that brings fans even closer to the action. The G3 is the best FanVision device yet with a new interface, a new user experience and tons of new features, including multiple news sources, visualised statistics, and live positioning maps.
Formerly known as Kangaroo TV, FanVision is the ultimate race companion providing exclusive wireless access to nine live broadcast feeds, up to eight onboard cameras, interviews, official timing, data, analysis and team radio; available only through the FanVision experience. The FanVision G3 provides an unrivalled event experience, allowing users to catch every corner, every crash, and every movement of the world’s fastest sport in razor-sharp clarity. The G3 also allows race fans to follow up to three drivers, and upgrade over the G2 unit.
Other mobile devices rely on WiFi and struggle to meet the demands of hundreds of fans seeking broadcast content at the same time. Only FanVision uses a dedicated, in-venue broadcast network that is fast, seamless and live. In fact, FanVision (under the name Kangaroo TV) has been involved with Formula 1 racing for five years, providing an exceptional fan experience for grandstand and corporate guests as well as providing an essential tool for the mechanics and technical staff of the teams and key media covering the events. FanVision devices have become standard equipment in the Formula 1 paddock and are used by all teams and officials. As an Official Supplier to Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, FanVision works closely with the team on integrating their new bespoke G3 products into their facilities on track.
"We entertain thousands of guests a year at Grand Prix, and we have a common motivation with FanVision to ensure these guests have the best possible experience at each event," said Martin Whitmarsh, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Team Principal. "When there is action on track the G3 will allow our guests the access the best information possible and enhance their experience. When there is no action on track, our bespoke G3s provide a forum for our guests to keep up to date with the team and our Partners’ activities away from the circuit."
"There are so many parts that make Formula 1 fascinating and if you get under the skin of it you can get the most out of it, whether you’re working in the sport or following it," Lewis Hamilton, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver. "For race spectators on track taking in the live atmosphere, the noise, the smell, the energy, the FanVision devices also let you feel part of the sport. You decide what you watch and the data you review. You can follow your favourite driver, keep up to speed on pit stop strategies, see the lines different drivers are taking through corners, understand how they are making up time and so on. It puts you at the heart of the sport."

NEWS RELEASE
24 Hours Are in the Day!
The Nordschleife® 24-Hour XL Wristwatch
24 Hours Are in a Day! This is the perfect reason for the Nordschleife® 24-hour XL wristwatch. Contrary to conventional timepieces this sporty yet elegant watch displays all the 24 hours in the day and not just 12 hours like most conventional analog watches.
The stainless-steel case with mineral glass is as unusual as the black 24-hour face with white numbering for hours and minutes. The hours are arranged differently than on a regular watch. The hour hand points in a different direction than on a conventional watch. A position that would indicate 3 o’clock on a conventional watch stands for precisely 18 (6 pm) o’clock on the Nordschleife® 24-hour wristwatch. With this peculiarity the Nordschleife® 24-hour XL watch is always a great conversation starter!
The white Nordschleife® logo clearly demonstrates the proud watch owner’s soft spot for the world’s toughest racetrack. A black leather armband with silver clasp secures the watch to the owner’s wrist.
The Nordschleife® 24-hour XL wristwatch costs 109 Euros and is available online at www.nordschleife.us .

SPY - 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL-Klasse
In these latest set of scoop pics, the future SL shows off its sleek, sexy side profile. The iconic roadster from Mercedes-Benz will grow in size, but will also become lighter due to the extensive use of aluminium. The new SL-Klasse will display a new design language, characterized by clean, artistic lines instead of the current wedge styling theme. The front end will be dominated by the large, single-louvre radiator grille and the LED headlamps; the muscular stance of the side profile will be created with the help of the beautifully-carved flanks and the huge alloy wheels; the tail lights at the rear will be a powerful demonstration of pure elegance combined with dynamism. Inside, the dashboard will feature a brand new design, that borrows some key inspiration elements from the SLS AMG. For powering the new SL, Mercedes-Benz engineers will fit the car with powerful and efficient V8 and V12 engines. Check out more spy photos after the jump!

SPY - 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Cabriolet
New spy photos of the SLS AMG Cabriolet emerged today on the internet. The test prototype featured only minor camouflage on the headlights, tail lamps and external logos. The open-top hypercar is tipped for unveiling at next month's NYIAS, as an earlier report showed, although Olla Kaellenius, the boss of Mercedes-AMG, stated back in January that the premiere would take place at the IAA Frankfurt. The pictured red-coloured, fabric retractable roof helps maintain overall weight as low as possible in addition to delivering a classy atmosphere and keeping most of the dynamic characteristics of the Gullwing model unaffected despite further body reinforcement applied that are compulsory on every convertible. The same 6.2 liters naturally-aspirated V8 unit, pumping out a massive 571 hp maximum output and 650 Nm peak torque, will make its way under the bonnet of the SLS AMG Cabriolet. With the help of it, the performance figures of the car will certainly look juicy: around 310 km/h top speed and around 4 seconds to reach 100 km/h. Check out more spy shots after the jump!
