Pontiac GTO- Jim Wangers prepares new car?

Pontiac GTO - legendary muscle-car. This car was not always fast but the aspiration to find room for as much as possible big engine in minimum possible body has allowed it to become in the early seventies an instant hit of sales, and at the same time and an adoration subject.

Fair portion of success GTO has received thanks to Jim Wangers working as the director for marketing Pontiac when first GTO was issued. There was in 1964. Therefore it is not necessary to be surprised that companies Big 3 Performance, conceived reincarnation Pontiac GTO of 1969, were necessary a name of Wangers and its service.

External changes in the car will be a little – unless air intakes on a cowl become wider, yes the spoiler - "a duck tail" in style Trans Am will increase. In interior there will be a new panel of devices, seats Recaro, an audiosystem and GPS-navigation. Will finish shape the unique chassis with a number of units from Corvette and Ford, and also modernised wheels Pontiac Rally II.

Russian tuning Bentley-Bullet!

We have already got used that Germans, Englishmen, Americans or Japanese are engaged in "bleeding" of expensive bonus cars. But it appears, and in Russia there are the tuning studio, capable to execute car "upgrade" at high enough level. One of them is the Moscow firm Top Car which has appeared in 2004. Up to recent time Top Car specialised basically on "bleeding" of cars Porsche Cayenne and BMW X6, but now russians undertook and for Bentley Continental GT. However, running forward, it is necessary to tell that Top Car did not begin to be engaged in operational development of the power unit or interior, and it was limited only to an ex-terrier.



The car has received a new cowl with ventilating cuts, a bumper with fashionable light-emitting diode "moustaches" and a spoiler, the blacked out front and rear optics, a rear bumper with the choke tube, a spoiler on a boot lid and the chromeplated nozzles on exhaust pipes. Besides, on the car original black 20-inch shod disks are established. A package of completions Top Car has estimated in 25 000 euros. It is in addition possible to order colouring in black matte colour for 7 000 euros. By itself, the car has received also own name – Bullet.





Certainly, while especial in a case with Bentley Continental GT russians do not offer anything. For example, in the same Germany and England tens firms are engaged in similar tuning of initial level. But pleases that fact that in Russia though and much later in what other countries, tuning studio which have in due course every chance start to appear to grow in serious firms and as equals to compete to the European, American and Japanese colleagues. And Top Car can just appear one of them. It is Enough to tell that partners of Top Car are such German studio 9ff and Lumma Design.
