03-02-2015, 12:14 PMIngeniator started a thread What Android phone would you chose. in Equipment: Electronics - Cameras - Radar - Data Loggers - GPSOk so with the ability to flash BMW's coming to android what Android phone would you buy. I still prefer iOS over android for the refinments but I'm sure I could customize android to what I want so I need the right hardware should I go Nexus6(or whatever the newest one is) Samsung S6/S6edge or the HTC M9. I prefer the smaller form factors but that doesn't seem to exist anymore. But I pretty much need it to be waterproof or have a case that is that I can buy ie lifeproof etc. http://www.boostaddict.com/showthread.php?63449-N54-DAMOS-mobile-project-donation45 replies | 628 view(s)
Yesterday, 02:16 AMSticky created an article BMS sets new N54 1/4 mile trap speed record with a 136 miles per hour pass in their E82 135i with a JB4 and Motiv single turbo kit in BMW Blog, Performance, Tuning, Motorsport, and Modification NewsCongratulations are in order to Burger Tuning! 136 miles per hour is where the BMW N54 trap speed record stands. This was achieved at the Famoso drag strip in Southern California by the BMS 135i test car running a JB4 and Motiv single turbo kit on a stock internal N54. There are still issues to work out and as the 60 foot indicates the launch needs some work for an impressive ET. Once @Terry@BMS sorts the issues out a good launch on high boost should finally propel the N54 into the 140+ trap speed range (and maybe the 9's?). For now though 136.43 miles per hour is officially the fastest N54 trap in the all the land. More details in the words of @Terry@BMS below. Terry@BMS: I was able to attend a track day at Famoso raceway today. The scheduled start time was 9am but that got pushed back due to a rain delay. It was around noon before we got to do any runs. I decided to race our 135i with the new MOTIV 750 kit today and just go for traps. To that end I ran on the normal 245/45/17 555Rs and just launched the car in 2nd gear with boost capped at 12-15psi. Logs on the dyno looked great fueling wise but as soon as I started doing runs at 26psi at the track, a problem became apparent. The low pressure pump was not keeping up. So I wasn't able to do any high boost runs as I had originally planned. As the day went on fuel pressure got worse and worse. Still, managed a respectable 136.4mph trap speed. I've attached the log of the run so you can see how bad the fuel situation was. It actually did a map4 switched right at the cones so I may have gone a bit faster had the pressure hung on a bit longer. After this run, I decided to pack it up and head home. Only to my surprise, after parking the car, it wouldn't start. An hour of diagnostics later I figured out both my inline 255 & my fuel pump controller shorted out. Luckily I was able to hotwire the primary pump with some spare wire to get the car home under its own power. I've got a Fuel-It Stage3 bucket in the garage that will go in and I'll have to probably order another controller. Anyway next time, whenever that is, I should be able to run enough boost to hit 140mph. I figure it will take 32psi. Then I'll strap on the Hoosier slicks and start working on the launches.35 replies | 426 view(s)
Yesterday, 06:12 AMSticky created an article Cadillac tries to troll BMW M... but do they end up looking lame instead? in BMW Blog, Performance, Tuning, Motorsport, and Modification NewsCadillac is doing great things lately. They are rolling out high performance cars such as the ATS-V coupe and sedan which are aimed squarely at their German rivals. It is no secret that BMW M has been and is the benchmark in the class from a driver's car perspective. When you are on top others want to take you down and Cadillac apparently is trying to get attention by trolling BMW using their European Twitter feed. Is BMW doing this to Cadillac? No. BMW knows they are the standard so they could care less about Cadillac. Cadillac comes off looking desperate for attention from the German brands. They also are trying to put themselves in the conversation with M by trolling M. They need to remind people that the ATS-V is an M4 competitor by taking pictures with the M4. They are taking the time to go to M, not the other way around. This kind of thing can backfire (anyone remember how it backfired for Audi back in the day with their billboard calling out BMW?) and make a company look petty instead of professional. Cadillac does not have the performance or luxury pedigree of the Germans... yet. They are doing good things and should focus on that. Trying to get the Germans' attention by screaming for it just makes them look like they are not ready to play with the big boys. People should know the ATS-V is the M4 competitor on their own. If you have to yell to get in the conversation, you were never in it to begin with.14 replies | 471 view(s)
02-26-2015, 05:25 PMSticky created an article Official - Audi reveals the second generation 2015 R8 V10 and V10 plus models in Audi Blog, Performance, Tuning, Motorsport, and Modification NewsHere we finally are, the new second generation Audi R8 based on the Lamborghini Huracan platform. The R8 is very much a reskinned Huracan and shares the same drivetrain including the naturally aspirated and direct injected 5.2 liter V10 engine as well as the dual clutch transmission sending power to all four wheels. The standard R8 V10 has an output of 540 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. The R8 V10 Plus increases output to 610 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque essentially matching the Lamborghini Huracan. As the standard V10 and V10 Plus share the exact same engine one can save some money and simply get some software to get the increased output if they wish. The new R8 is lighter, wider, and lower to the ground. The new aluminum chassis shaves roughly 110 pounds from its predecessor. Less weight along with a lower center of grabity should considerably improve track performance. The styling is evolutionary. The average person might not be able to tell the difference between the first generation and second generation cars. The new R8 certainly looks more aggressive and the more sharply angled headlight design gives it bit of a meaner look. Overall it is exactly what we expected and that is not a bad thing. Expect a V8 and all electric E-Tron version to come later. Ingolstadt, 2015-02-26 Audi presents the new R8: The sporty spearhead just got even sharper - The second generation of the high-performance sports car makes its debut in Geneva - 5.2 FSI engine with up to 449 kW (610 hp), 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.2 seconds - New multimaterial Audi Space Frame with high proportions of aluminum and CFRP No model with the four rings is closer to motorsport, none is more striking and more dynamic: at the Geneva Motor Show, Audi is presenting the second generation of its high-performance R8 sports car. The V10 mid-engine and a newly developed quattro drive ensure breathtaking driving performance, especially in the top-of-the-range version with 449 kW (610 hp): achieving 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in just 3.2 seconds, its top speed is 330 km/h (205.1 mph). A high-revving mid-engine with superior performance, a consistently lightweight construction concept and an extremely dynamic chassis with quattro drive system and fully variable torque control this is what makes the R8 the sporty spearhead of Audi. The high-performance sports car has been newly developed from the ground up it is more taut, more striking and more fascinating both on the race track and on the road. "Motorsport is in Audi's genes, it has always been a permanent feature of our brand's character," says Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Board Member for Technical Development at Audi. "With the new Audi R8, our engineers are bringing accumulated racing expertise from the race track onto the road. No other model of ours evokes more dynamic emotion. The new R8 V10 plus is therefore the most powerful and fastest series-production Audi of all time." Thanks to the close cooperation between racing engineers, racing drivers and developers, the Audi R8 has seen a clear performance increase this benefits both the series production car and the R8 LMS developed on the basis of this. The engines: 10 cylinders in two versions The 5.2 FSI is available in two versions: one with 397 kW (540 hp) and another sporting 449 kW (610 hp). The range-topping model accelerates in a mere 3.2 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) and keeps going to its maximum speed of 330 km/h (205.1 mph). The sound of the freely aspirated V10 engine, whose maximum torque is available at 6,500 rpm, has become even fuller and sharper. A 7-speed S tronic transmission and a newly developed quattro drive system transmit the power to the road. The distribution of the drive torque adapts to the respective driving conditions in extreme cases, 100 percent of the torque can be transmitted to the front or rear axle. The new performance mode in the Audi drive select dynamic handling system enables adaptation of the most important ride dynamics parameters to the friction coefficient of the road. Lightweight construction: only 1,454 kg (3,205.5 lb) dry weight The top model R8 V10 plus has a dry weight of 1,454 kilograms (3,205.5 lb). Despite a lot of extra equipment and greater rigidity, the new Audi R8 weighs up to 50 kilograms (110.2 lb) less than its predecessor. The multimaterial Audi Space Frame (ASF) ensures low weight and optimum axle load distribution. The combination of aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) in the Audi Space Frame opens up new dimensions with regard to weight, rigidity and crash behavior. The aerodynamic underbody which integrates a long diffuser boosts downforce. The chassis, too, with its double wishbone suspension demonstrates how close the new Audi R8 is to motorsport. Design: flat, wide, muscular The design reflects the powerful sporty character of the R8. A visual distinguishing feature which also provides enhanced safety comes in the form of the standard LED headlights. For an extended field of vision and more brightness, Audi offers the laser spot for the high beam as an option complemented by the dynamic turn signals at the front. Dynamic turn signals are standard at the rear. In the new Audi virtual cockpit, the displays are digital. The most important controls are grouped together in button clusters on the steering wheel, also known as satellites. In the interior, the driver has the impression of sitting in a race car. The air conditioning controls emphasize the simplicity of the control panel with its floating effect. MMI navigation plus with MMI touch is standard. Sales of the new Audi R8 start in summer 2015. Prices are 165,000 euros for the R8 V10 and 187,400 euros for the top-of-the-range version R8 V10 plus. New factory for quattro GmbH: production at the "Böllinger Höfe" site The new Audi R8 is produced at a new quattro GmbH production site that was specially built for the sports car the "Böllinger Höfe" site in Heilbronn. An elaborate manufacturing technique ensures that Audi-typical quality is produced. Specialists: the Audi R8 e-tron and Audi R8 LMS The second generation of the Audi R8 forms the basis for more models. The latest evolutionary version of the electrically-powered high-performance R8 e-tron sports car achieves a performance figure of 340 kW and a torque of 920 Nm (678.6 lb-ft). It sprints from a standstill to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds. Thanks to new battery cells, the range could be more than doubled compared to the first version of this technological wonder it is now more than 450 kilometers (279.6 mi). The new Audi R8 LMS race car was developed based on the new GT3 regulations due to come into effect worldwide from 2016. This year it will already be put through its paces at the factory. Despite massive performance increases, around 50 percent of its components are the same as the series-production car. The new Audi R8 The R8 is the dynamic spearhead of Audi. In its second generation, the high-performance sports car has been newly developed from the ground up it is more taut, more striking and more fascinating. The high-revving V10 engine is available in two performance variants. In the top-of-the-range version with 449 kW (610 hp), it develops breathtaking power. "Motorsport is in Audi's DNA, it is part of our brand's character," says Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Board Member for Technical Development at Audi. "With the new R8, our engineers are bringing accumulated racing expertise from the race track onto the road. No other model of ours evokes more dynamic emotion, none is closer to a race car. The new R8 V10 plus is the most powerful and fastest series production Audi of all time." The mid-engine principle used for the Audi R8 is not only a classic concept in motorsport but also an important piece of Audi tradition. The powerful engines were located in front of the rear axle even in the Grand Prix race cars brought to the start line by Auto Union in the 1930s a revolutionary step at the time. In 2000, Audi won the 24-hour Le Mans endurance race with the LMP R8 prototype for the first time. By 2005, the car which provided the name for today's series-production high-performance sports car had secured five overall victories at the Sarthe the name chosen for the road version of the super sports car from Audi, R8, indicates the technological relationship between the two winners. As the R8 LMS, the Audi R8 is also highly successful in customer racing. The basis for its success: motorsport was part of the development strategy from the very beginning. In 2009, the R8 LMS customer racing race car began its success story which would lead it to more than 190 victories and 23 championship titles worldwide. Technically speaking, it is closely related to the road version of the sports car with around 50 percent of the same parts. Up to 449 kW (610 hp): the two V10 engines The new generation of the Audi R8 utilizes the latest development of the ten-cylinder engine. With its spontaneous throttle response, quick revving up to 6,500 rpm and inimitable roaring sound, the naturally aspirated 5.2 FSI engine is enough to give you goose bumps. In the new R8, the freely aspirated V10 engine offers even more power and torque than before. Controllable flaps in the exhaust pipe and an optional sport exhaust system make the car sound even more characteristic. The ten-cylinder engine is available in two versions. In the R8 V10, it develops a power of 397 kW (540 hp) from its 5,204 cc displacement and a torque of 540 Nm (398.3 lb-ft) at an engine speed of 6,500 rpm. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) takes just 3.5 seconds, and it can reach a top speed of 323 km/h (200.7 mph). The R8 V10 plus is even more powerful and is the fastest series-production Audi of all time. It develops 449 kW (610 hp) and its maximum torque of 560 Nm (413.0 lb-ft) is available at 6,500 rpm. The performance figures are equally impressive: 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.2 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h (124.3 mph) in 9.9 seconds, and a top speed of 330 km/h (205.1 mph). A further innovation in the 5.2 FSI engine is the additional indirect injection. It complements the FSI direct gasoline injection, lowers fuel consumption and enhances engine output. Moreover, the R8 features yet another innovative system in the form of COD (cylinder on demand). It shuts off one of the two cylinder banks by deactivating injection and ignition. The R8 V10 consumes an average of 11.8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (19.9 US mpg) with CO2 emissions of 275 grams per kilometer (442.6 g/mi), for the R8 V10 plus those values are 12.4 liters per 100 kilometers (19.0 US mpg) and 289 grams per kilometer (465.1 g/mi). The fuel consumption reduction of up to 10 percent compared to the previous model is also due to the new start-stop system. The dry sump lubrication completes the technology package of the 5.2 FSI. The ten-cylinder engine is hand built in the Hungarian engine plant in Gy 014Å'' type="#_x0000_t75">r. As a traditional motorsport technology, it allows for low installation of the engine, which is particularly beneficial for the car's center of gravity. What's more, it also ensures oil supply even under extreme lateral acceleration. Fast as lightning and highly variable: the power transmission In both engine versions, power is transmitted to a rapid-shifting seven-speed S tronic transmission installed behind the engine. The S tronic has three automatic modes and can also be controlled manually. Shift commands are transmitted electronically (shift-by-wire). The launch control system manages full-throttle acceleration from a standing start. Another function of the S tronic comes into play when the driver's foot is removed from the accelerator pedal at speeds above 55 km/h (34.2 mph). In such cases, both clutches open and the car goes into coasting mode. This function saves a considerable amount of fuel, especially in everyday use by the customer. The quattro permanent all-wheel drive system gives the new R8 a decisive plus in terms of stability and traction when compared with two-wheel-drive competitors. On the front axle, an electrohydraulic multi-plate clutch replaces the Visco clutch of the predecessor model. The newly developed quattro drive system enables completely unrestricted and fully variable distribution of the drive torque to the front and rear axles depending on the driving situation and weather. In normal operation, up to 100 percent is transmitted to the rear wheels and, if required, the clutch continuously diverts up to 100 percent of this torque to the front wheels. Thanks to the mechanical differential lock on the rear axle, the driver experiences maximum traction without any slip. Audi drive select: the chassis In the chassis of the new Audi R8, double wishbones made from aluminum guide all four wheels. The R8 V10 plus has a particularly sporty setup for both engine variants, variable adaptively controlled Audi magnetic ride shock absorbers are available as an option. The newly developed electromechanical power steering system provides close contact to the road surface and makes a further contribution to reducing CO2 emissions. As an option, Audi offers dynamic steering, whereby the steering ratio varies in accordance with the road speed and the settings in the Audi drive select dynamic handling system. As standard, the new Audi R8 V10 has 19-inch wheels with size 245/35 tires at the front and 295/35 at the rear. Upon request, Audi is also offering 20-inch wheels for the first time in the R8. With this option, the tires are size 245/30 at the front and 305/30 at the rear. The steel brake disks have a weight-saving wave design and the calipers can be painted red upon request. In the R8 V10 plus, high-tech disks made from carbon fiber ceramic are responsible for deceleration of the 20-inch wheels (optional for the V10). In the Audi drive select dynamic handling system, the driver has the choice of four modes (comfort, auto, dynamic and individual) to control the way in which important technical components operate. As standard, the system takes into account the engine characteristics, steering, S tronic transmission and quattro drive system as well as optional extras such as Audi magnetic ride, the exhaust flaps and dynamic steering. On top of that, there is also the new performance mode (available as an option for the V10 and standard for the V10 plus). The driver activates it by pressing a separate button on the steering wheel. He or she can select between the programs dry, wet and snow using a rotary wheel. These programs support dynamic handling on dry, wet and snow-covered surfaces. In performance mode, Audi drive select also makes use of the ESC stabilization control function. New Audi Space Frame with high proportions of aluminum and CFRP The R8 V10 plus has a dry weight of 1,454 kilograms (3,205.5 lb). The key factor behind the consistent lightweight design is the body shell with multimaterial Audi Space Frame (ASF): It weighs only 200 kilograms (440.9 lb). The resulting unladen weight of 1,555 kilograms (3,428.2 lb) leads to a superior power-to-weight ratio of 3.46 kg/kW (2.55 kg/hp). The ASF body shell features a completely new multimaterial lightweight construction concept. Components made from carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) form the B‑pillars, the central tunnel and the rear wall. The front section of the vehicle, the roof arch and the rear section form a framework made from cast aluminum nodes and aluminum profiles which, in some cases, employ new alloys. As always with the ASF, each component is precisely designed for its location and purpose. Accordingly, the engineers have now integrated some components into the body shell due to their function. Leaving aside its components, the body shell is now around 15 percent lighter than its predecessor. At the same time, torsional rigidity is roughly 40 percent better. Particularly with regard to rigidity, the body of the new Audi R8 is a benchmark. The resulting lightweight construction is unparalleled among the competition. The multimaterial Audi Space Frame in the new Audi R8 is extremely light and rigid, whilst also being acoustically comfortable and offering a high level of safety. The outer skin is made entirely of aluminum, but as an optional extra (or as standard for the V10 plus), Audi also offers attachment parts made from clear-coated carbon fiber, for example the front splitter, the diffuser or the side blades. A long, rising diffuser in the underbody produces downforce on the rear axle at higher speeds. Design: flat, wide, muscular A cockpit positioned very far forward, a long, flowing back and a relatively short wheelbase the exterior design makes the technical concept of the mid-engine, high-performance Audi R8 sports car clear upon first sight. At 4.42 meters long (14.5 ft), 1.24 meters high (4.1 ft) and with a wheelbase measuring 2.65 meters (8.7 ft), its dimensions have only slightly changed in comparison to the previous model. Its width now measures 1.94 meters (6.4 ft) and has thus grown by about four centimeters (1.6 in). The car's proportions convey more of a race car character, with characteristic design ideas from the previous model now more pronounced. The four rings sit proudly on the hood, the Singleframe radiator grille with honeycomb design is wide and flat. Modeled plastic surfaces allow it to merge into the flat headlights facets of the vehicle which highlight tension, provide an impression of depth and add an air of logic to the design. The grid-type signature of the daytime running lights with vertical elements replicates the structure of the air inlets and emphasizes the width of the car. The entire appearance of the Audi R8 conveys a feeling of lightness and technical precision. LED headlights are standard. Available upon request, Audi can also supply the laser spot which doubles the range of the high beam to 600 meters (1,968.5 ft) as well as the dynamic turn signals at the front. The dynamic turn signals are standard at the rear. The rear lighting signature also combines two vertical elements with a horizontal line. This gives the Audi R8 an even more powerful appearance. As part of the new laser high beams, one laser module per headlight generates a cone of light with twice the range of the all-LED headlamp. Each module comprises four high-power laser diodes. With a diameter of just 300 micrometers, these generate a blue laser beam with a wavelength of 450 nanometers. A phosphor converter transforms it into white light suitable for roadway use with a color temperature of 5,500 Kelvin ideal conditions for the human eye that enable the driver to recognize contrast more easily and help to prevent fatigue. The laser spot is active from a speed of 60 km/h (37.3 mph) to supplement the LED high beam of the R8 and, thanks to its long range, greatly enhances the driver's field of vision as well as safety. An intelligent camera-based sensor system detects other road users and actively adjusts the light pattern to exclude them. On the sides of the high-performance sports car, characteristically curved contours are drawn over the wheels. The shoulder line, shaped like a powerful muscle, connects the wheels with one another while at the same time dividing the side blade in two to leave an upper and a lower half. This new design solution makes the car appear even longer and more dynamic. At the rear, as well, the lights and the air inlets visually connect to one another. The two tailpipes of the exhaust system have a trapezoidal design and the rear window offers a clear view of the illuminated engine compartment. The R8 is equipped with an electrically extending spoiler, the R8 V10 plus with a fixed wing made from CFRP. Just like in a race car: the interior and the controls Behind the steering wheel of the new Audi R8, the driver feels like a race car driver. All functions are driver-oriented and allow easy operation even when the critical limits are reached and all without the driver having to take his or her hands off the steering wheel. The newly designed sport seats with integrated headrest provide excellent lateral support. Even more radical seating for a sports car comes in the form of the newly developed R8 bucket seats. These make a clear statement confirming the relationship between lightweight construction and comfort (optional in the V10 and standard in the V10 plus). The start-stop button and the Audi drive select button are located on several satellites on the new multifunction plus steering wheel. The Performance steering wheel in the Audi R8 V10 plus features two more satellites. One button is for performance mode together with a rotary wheel for selecting the dry, wet and snow programs as well as a button for controlling the sports exhaust system. The Audi virtual cockpit is set in a free-standing housing and presents all the information on its 12.3-inch display with elaborately computed, fascinating graphics. The driver can toggle between different display modes and also adjust the digital instrument cluster to his needs in individual mode. In performance mode, the driver is presented with information on the driving programs, acceleration, deceleration and lateral forces as well as power and torque. The Audi virtual cockpit also displays a shift light which informs the driver that the engine speed limit has been reached. The driver operates the Audi virtual cockpit using the multifunction plus steering wheel. The driver's hands remain on the steering wheel and he or she can concentrate on the road. Alternatively, operation can take place via the touch wheel or the buttons in the center console. In the design of the interior too, the taut geometric lines emphasize the aesthetic lightweight construction of the brand. Its characteristic element is the monoposto, a large arc in the area around the driver's seat. The MMI monitor of the previous model is no longer available. Instead, the three central control elements of the air conditioning system have taken its place. The three-dimensional design of the air outlet vents bring to mind the air inlets of a race car. The dashboard appears to float weightlessly. The wide console of the central tunnel accommodates the standard MMI terminal as well as the newly designed flat selector lever of the S tronic transmission. When it comes to upholstery, customers can choose between Alcantara/pearl Nappa leather and fine Nappa leather. Also available are trim elements in clear coated carbon fiber, two leather packages and a new diamond stitching pattern. Customization There are numerous customization possibilities for customers of the new Audi R8 for both the exterior and the interior. The colors for the body have been newly mixed and can be freely combined with the colors of the side blades a blade made from glossy carbon is a particular highlight of the range. Ten standard exterior colors are available, for the R8 V10 plus there is an additional matt paint finish available, Camouflage Green. Among the five equipment colors available for the interior, two color ranges can be found, whereby the interior is always characterized by a sporty feel. Additionally, there are numerous options to further customize both the interior and the exterior, for example with headlining in Alcantara with dynamic diamond stitching pattern. The Audi exclusive program makes it possible for you to turn the new R8 into a one-of-a-kind model. Completely connected: infotainment In the new Audi R8, the Audi virtual cockpit replaces the analog instruments and the MMI monitor. The driver can switch the all-digital display between two different view modes. These bring either the virtual dial instruments or the large navigation map into focus. The Audi R8 makes use of the latest technology in terms of infotainment. MMI navigation plus is installed as standard; the MMI touch touch wheel is the central control element. In the background, the second generation of the modular infotainment platform sets about its work just like the Audi virtual cockpit, it integrates a super-fast T30 chip from Audi's cooperation partner, NVIDIA. MMI navigation plus is complemented by the Audi connect module. The passenger can connect a smartphone or tablet via the system's integrated Wi-Fi hotspot. Tailored online services from Audi connect are displayed on the Audi virtual cockpit. The internet connection uses the fast LTE (Long Term Evolution) network. Optional components such as the fine-tuned sound system from Bang & Olufsen with a system performance of 500 watts or the Audi phone box for convenient cell phone integration round off the infotainment program. New factory for quattro GmbH: production at the "Böllinger Höfe" site The new Audi R8 is produced at the new "Böllinger Höfe" quattro GmbH production site, close to the Neckarsulm plant. The production area covering 30,000 m2 (322,917.3 sq ft) comprises a body shop and assembly facilities. The entire production facility is highly flexible, while technical and ergonomic innovations such as the CFRP body shell construction and driverless transport systems ensure top quality. As was the case for the previous model, production follows an elaborate manufacturing process. In cycle times of about 30 minutes and with up to 400 highly qualified employees, the R8 is created in highly precise craftsmanship. Following completion, each R8 is subjected to a strict quality acceptance process on the internal plant test track and an approximately one-hour test drive on public roads. With the new R8 manufacturing site, quattro GmbH the high-performance subsidiary of AUDI AG is further enhancing its small-series expertise, thus creating the opportunity to realize ever more exciting derivatives of the R8. Electrified: Audi R8 e-tron The second generation of the Audi R8 forms the basis for two more models. Audi has made major engineering developments in its high-performance electric sports car, the R8 e-tron. The latest evolution of the vehicle takes up the multimaterial Audi Space Frame from the new series-production model. The supporting structure was enhanced by a CFRP rear-section module comprising the luggage compartment. The walls of the CFRP luggage compartment well are corrugated. This way, in the event of a rear-end collision, more energy can be absorbed despite the reduced material weight. Thanks to targeted modifications to the outer shell and on the wheels, the Audi R8 e‑tron achieves an aerodynamic drag coefficient (cd) value of 0.28. In terms of performance and range, the car enters entirely new dimensions. The large T-shaped battery is structurally integrated into the center tunnel and behind the occupant cell optimally positioned in the car. It supports the dynamics of the R8 e-tron with its low center of gravity. Audi produces the high-voltage battery itself, for the first time based on a newly developed lithium-ion technology which was specially conceived for a purely electric vehicle drive. In comparison to the first technology platform, the battery capacity has grown from 49 kWh to approximately 92 kWh. This progress was possible without changing the package. The R8 e-tron achieves an electric range of 450 kilometers (279.6 mi) instead of a previous 215 kilometers (133.6 mi) with an energy density that has been increased from 84 Wh/kg to 154 Wh/kg and some other modifications to the car. The electrically powered high-performance sports car has the Combined Charging System (CCS) on board, which allows charging with direct and alternating current. Using this system, it is possible to fully charge the battery in significantly less than two hours. The power is now twice 170 kW and the maximum torque twice 460 Nm (339.3 lb-ft). The R8 e-tron 2.0 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds on its way to an electronically restricted top speed of 210 km/h (130.5 mph) or 250 km/h (155.3 mph). Intelligent energy management and an electromechanical brake system enable high energy recuperation rates. Targeted torque vectoring needs-based distribution of power transmission between the rear wheels ensures maximum stability and dynamism. Audi uses the electrical high-performance sports car primarily as a mobile high-tech laboratory. Accordingly, the findings from the R8 e-tron help in creating a vehicle with a sedan character. Upon customer request, the R8 e-tron will be available for order in 2015 as an electrically powered sports car in supreme hand-built quality. New race car: the Audi R8 LMS Alongside the new R8 series-production model, the second-generation R8 LMS race car is also making its debut, with colleagues from motorsport and series production working in close harmony as part of its development. Both the series-production model of the R8 and the R8 LMS have seen clear increases in power and performance compared with the predecessor. Both cars have around 50 percent of the same parts. The body shell of the rear-wheel-drive GT3 sports car is based on a selectively reinforced multimaterial ASF. Engineers have supplemented this feature with a safety cage. Its outer shell consists mainly of carbon fiber reinforced plastics. The vehicle's type approval weight is 1,225 kilograms (2,700.7 lb). The V10 engine is virtually identical to the series-production engine and produces around 430 kW (approximately 585 hp), depending on the applicable regulations and the restrictor required. Sales of the new R8 LMS to customer teams worldwide will start with the 2016 season. This year, the new race car will be put through its paces by the works team at international long-distance and sprint races, as well as being available to customers as part of the Audi driving experience. All technical data is preliminary. Fuel consumption of the models named above: Audi R8: Combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 12.4 11.8** (19.0 19.9 US mpg); Combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 289 275** (465.1 442.6 g/mi) **The fuel consumption and the CO2 emissions of a vehicle vary due to the choice of wheels and tires. They not only depend on the efficient utilization of the fuel by the vehicle, but are also influenced by driving behavior and other non-technical factors.16 replies | 247 view(s)

Yesterday, 04:32 AMSticky created an article Evotech gets 745 horsepower and 930 lb-ft of torque out of the F10 M5 / F13 M6 S63TU with their Stage 2 ECU reflash in BMW Blog, Performance, Tuning, Motorsport, and Modification NewsThose F-Series tunes sure spread out quickly didn't they? Everyone is trying to grab their piece of the pie and that is how this business works. Evotech of course is throwing their hat in the ring as well with some pretty impressive tune only numbers of 745 horsepower and 930 lb-ft of torque. Yes, those figures are at the crank. Fortunately they provided a dynograph or this network would not be bothering with this article as it often does not for tuners that throw out big numbers without any actual support. Uncorrected on a Dynojet the figures are 623 wheel horsepower and 777 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. That torque number is... well, it's crazy. It's much higher than anyone else and we certainly can not explain it. Other tuners are in the low 600 lb-ft of wheel torque range on a Dynojet. What is Evotech doing differently? What other supporting mods does this car have? We do not know. We only know that they state they are using 95 octane fuel and their Stage 2 flash. Their crank ratings may be a bit high as using 15% loss numbers (which is flawed anyway as it inflates output) puts the torque figure at 914 lb-ft and the horsepower at 732. Regardless, we are seeing some very big numbers out of the S63TU and it is just getting warmed up.10 replies | 459 view(s)
02-28-2015, 03:12 PMPm me for pix of interested $4400 shipped. This comes with clipped billet 20T compressor wheels (9 blade) and install kit with everything needed (even the VTT shirts are still in box) completely maxed out. Still in box from VTT with packing peanuts and shrink wrapped. Keep your cores and avoid the wait (took mine months to get). Build these on his web site and select no cores. These will still be cheaper. I am going a new direction with custom turbos. If no one wants these I will just send back to Tony wanted to give someone the option tho to have them immediately. If you ordered these today they would be just under $5000 dollars and you would owe your turbos. Keep your turbos and save money and time. Ready to ship.9 replies | 215 view(s)

Nothing too crazy here as it matches the spyphotos but it is important to note that for the first time a street version of the GT3 has exposed air intakes in the rear fenders similar to the Turbo models. The specification sheet for the 911 GT3 RS was leaked last month so with these images and the specs we basically have the whole picture. 500 horsepower, 4.0 liter motor, PDK, wider bodywork in front and and in back, and a bit less weight.

Airtel may be in PVC0 vpi/vci 1 and 32
Select the PVC which has VPI/VCI as 0 and 35.
Probably PVC2.
Enter BSNL ID/PW etc.
see screen shots for LAN mode.
No changes needed in WIrelesss settings.

Thanks for replying
After following your instructions green light over the internet (in the router) started (initially it was off).
But now on trying to connect it is ERROR 651 (i.e. modem is NOT responding).
While i am able to access internet on reversing settings via airtel.
Please help

Appears you are using Dialer to connect .
( userid PW entered in computer window )
confirm for Airtel Always OnPPPoE mode
( userID/PW stored in wan page of modem/router)
Try for BSNL same.
Error 651 : confirm OS Windows 7.

Thanks for trying to solve my problem.
You are absolutely right, I am using Windows 7.
I have tried both.
If I connect using dialer then it shows Error 651
and if I connect the other way (as you suggested) then it is showing DNS not responding.
The customer care of BSNL has NOT responded in last 5 days.
While talking on phone they seem to have NO idea of the problem and are saying that you have to change the modem.
Please suggest something
Waiting for any help

I have the same modem Less wifi ( Beetel 110TCI)
While i am able to access internet on reversing settings via airtel.
Save each page.
Presume you are trying to use BSNL and AIRTEL BB with SAME modem. For this model above procedure required every time you change the RJ11 input ( BSNL or Airtel )
Since you had used it for Airtel earlier only above page changes are required. ( Airtel page say PVC0 remains deactivated)
Post as screen shot the connection status.
India Broadband Forum
For DNS:
Para two;
(2.1)See my signature link "monitor" below ; How to post attachments Jpg(preferred) here.
(2.2 )
how many laptops/smartphone in use ?
You are absolutely right, I am using Windows 7
Download "Connectify" application and load in Laptop having
ethernet connection to Airtel or Bsnl.
This laptop will work as additional AP ( AccessPoint) within range.
Try later. as mentioned earrlier same wifi settings of Airtel will do for BSNL in the router.
Feedback item wise.Last edited by essbebe; 6th October 2011 at 07:44 PM.

Cantor's Dust is a famous fractal, a basic pattern that repeats itself over and over. It's a pretty pattern, but it didn't seem very useful at the time it was invented.

Overall, it was a place to sleep. Overall, it was overpriced.
It was ok. Not a great location. But a place to crash before going into NYC.
Cool upper Manhattan neighborhood, near CUNY and down the street from the Alexander Hamilton house, fairly easily accessible by the C train. Friendly staff.
Poorly marked entrance, took me a while to get someone to come to the door.
Nothing, completely awful experience
The room, location, the staff!! No hospitality, they tried to charge me extra
Stayed at the Plaza for two separate trips to NYC. Rooms good, staff good, shuttle very convenient and on time. Will stay there again if traveling to NYC.
staff was very nice, room was not what I paid for and really gat cheated
I found the rooms clean with comfortable beds, and furniture attractive and in good condition. I found the rooms were quiet. I was concerned noise would be an issue since I was adjacent to the exit door and across from the breakfast room. I did hear the door close and open but the sound was fairly unintrusive.
Some confusion re: the room cost. This might have been a KAYAK issue, but it was fairly easily remedied, and the person at the desk was apologetic and professional. Parking could have been difficult (I was VERY lucky to get a spot right outside the front door), but that is to be expected in NYC. If I hadn't gotten the spot, I would have been charged an extra $25 (per day? per stay?), a fee I was unprepared for.
close to metro station. Nice breakfeast. Nice staff on restaurant and room maid.
don't take private taxi from hotel. US$40 flat to go JFK. Front desk said yellow cab will cost more than 50!!! Not good information, despite driver was friendly.
I had a fantastic stay. The turn down service was excellent. Clean room, friendly staff. Everyone was very welcoming and accomodating. Beautiful room, huge amazing bathroom. The attention to detail is extraordinary, it felt like I was in Paris.
The bed was a little soft, and I wish the sheets had a duvet instead. But the sheets were very nice.
The staff were extremely kind and since we were there as newlyweds We were given a copy of our new name signed for the first time as A keepsake....the mattress was very comfortable ....wish we could've Slept longer but we had to catch an early flight to our honeymoon Destination. ....definitely a night to remember.
Got a free upgrade
Everything was great! Staff was great, sent a car for me at the airport, clean and modern rooms with flat screen and comfy bed.
The neighborhood wasn't the best but then again, it's Queens. So I'd say about average for Queens.
The room, the staff, the restaurant, the green roof .
The bar at the roof is a happening place and i had my young daughter!
Location from the airport
The bath tub had black stains and took all night to drain. A terrible smell hit you in the face once you entered the room. While I would go back to the hotel I would request a room other than 417.
Hotel was in a great location close to train and airport. Staff were GREAT!
Breakfast wasn't so convenient and the Internet wasn't worth using because it was impossible to use from being to slow.
wonderful customer service. the most comfortable bed...ever! lovely restaurant and bar area.
everything was perfect!
Breakfast is adaquate
No parking and no laundry service and laundry machines. Staff is a bit rude. Couple of times, the toilet and sink were blocked and had to call front desk to come fix problem. Queen size bedroom is a joke. You have barely walking room.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Georgia offense hitting its stride with multiple threats
By The Associated Press
Aaron Murray
ATHENS -- When Aaron Murray steps to the line, he's got weapons all around.
There are speedy receivers and sure-handed receivers. There's a big tight end and no shortage of talented running backs. The guys up front are an experienced bunch, giving Georgia's quarterback plenty of confidence when he drops into the pocket.
No wonder the ninth-ranked Bulldogs (2-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) have been really clicking with the ball in their hands.
Georgia goes into Saturday's big game against No. 6 LSU (4-0, 1-0) with one of the country's top offenses, averaging more than 40 points and 574 yards per game.
While Murray, a fifth-year senior, plays a huge role in the team's success, the biggest thing is balance. The Bulldogs have depth at every position, giving their experienced quarterback plenty of options.
"It's a fun offense to be involved in," Murray said.
Georgia has always been a program built around the ground game - you might remember a back named Herschel Walker - and nothing has really changed there. Sophomore Todd Gurley is a bruising runner who already has a pair of 100-yard games. Keith Marshall provides a slashing change of pace off the bench. Even 257-pound fullback Quayvon Hicks has shown he's more than just an extra blocker.
Of course, the Bulldogs also have one of the most prolific passers in SEC history, a quarterback who seems like he's been around Athens forever. It's only natural that offensive coordinator Mike Bobo would keep opening things up for Murray, allowing him to do everything from working out of the no-huddle to calling plays with four and five receivers.
"The core of who we are as an offense has stayed the same," receiver Mike Conley said. "But we realize we've got so many weapons, you don't want them all to be sitting on the bench. You want to get them on the field and spreading teams out. We can hurry teams up with the no-huddle. When you have a quarterback who's done this offense for years and can read defenses, you don't have to huddle on every single play. Let him see what's going on, check and make a play, and let's play fast."
Murray is averaging more than 346 yards a game through the air, and seven touchdown passes have pushed him to 102 in his career.
There's no telling who Murray might throw to on any given play. Conley, Michael Bennett and Justin Scott-Wesley are tied for the team lead with 10 catches apiece. Tight end Arthur Lynch has eight receptions and a pair of touchdowns. Marshall and Gurley are threats out of the backfield, combining for 11 catches.
Five other players have at least two receptions, including freshman Reggie Davis, who last week hooked up with Murray on a 98-yard touchdown - the longest scoring play in Georgia history.
Davis and Scott-Wesley were high school track stars, giving Georgia the sort of speed that keeps defensive backs on their heels. Conley, Bennett and Lynch are possession-style receivers, the type Murray knows he can count on when he's got to have a completion.
"They can attack you in a number of different ways," LSU coach Les Miles said. "It's not what you would say is just a traditional, run-of-the-mill, two-back offense. They have all the ways to attack you that anybody would want."
The Bulldogs put up five touchdowns and 545 yards on No. 3 Clemson in the season opener, but two turnovers, dropped passes and 84 yards in penalties doomed Georgia to 38-35 loss.
"Really, we can just stop ourselves," Bennett said. "We're very talented. We all have a lot of experience. We know what we need to do to get open, to get going on long runs. It just comes down to us."
Georgia bounced back with a 41-30 shredding of then-No. 6 South Carolina, directing plays away from Jadeveon Clowney and thoroughly frustrating Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier. The Bulldogs turned in their second straight game with more than 200 yards rushing and 500 yards overall.
Last week wasn't nearly as challenging against North Texas, though a couple of big mistakes on special teams left things in doubt until the second half. Eventually, with Murray throwing four TD passes, the Bulldogs pulled away for a 45-21 victory.
Now, it's time to face another Top 10 opponent.
Georgia certainly isn't intimidated by a team that has long had one of the nation's top defenses.
"We feel like once we get the ball rolling," Scott-Wesley said, "it's hard for any defense to stop us."

to discreetly mention that 'discreet' has a discrete meaning from 'discrete'?
(147 Posts)The one you want for breastfeeding is 'discreet.'
'Discrete' means 'separate from'.
As you were. Except for, you know, the discrete thing.
No wish to offend!
<runs away>
Run faster!
every day's a school day! i embarrassingly didnt realise discrete was actually a word ... thought it was a mispelling.
Can I also point out that alternative and alternate don't mean the same thing.
There is a pedants' corner for the likes of us you, you know!
YANBU and fist bump
I only got these two sorted out recently. Someone told me that each e in discrete is separate to match the meaning. Discrete: separate or distinct!
Sanity, I know, but I'd be preaching to the converted in there!
well you learn something new every day... thanks :D
Ooh ooh a chance to tell everyone my way to remember which is which. 'Crete' is an island... all alone. Gedditt??
I "heart" IHeartKingThistle-
Yes, in schools, we teach a discrete phonics session every day.
It doesn't mean that we do it on the sly.
Strangely, akissisnotacontract I was about to post about alternate and alternative too.
I received an e-mail at work today from someone who wanted me to suggest some alternate dates for a meeting! I resisted the urge to correct her query - by not responding as yet. I probably shouldn't say anything.
step away from the button olivia/helen/rebecca... at least leave it here for a bit before it gets shifted!
I think I love you
THANK YOU. Can we do 'lose' v 'loose' now too please?
Rule to remember it. ee for feeding.
Oh goodness I thought it was just me.
At work we are emailed weekly for our stationary orders <sits on hands>
loose as in it was so loose I feared I would lose it?
Should of put your hard hat on OP in readiness for the "pedant" accusations ...
DD and DS3 have just had stationary/stationery as their spelling words (including knowing when to use which) as well as rein/reign/rain, current/currant etc.
Well, I'm a pedant and always thought that discrete was just bad spelling. Good old MN
Only three dots for the points of ellipsis...
Not four, five or however many you fancy...
Just THREE!
Drives me nuts!
