Porsche Cayenne GTS: Achter mit Wumms

(TRD/MID)  Die GTS-Modelle von Porsche sind generell etwas für automobile Feinschmecker. Sie sind kräftiger und einen Tick leistungsorientierter als die S-Versionen, kommen aber etwas dezenter daher als die Turbos. Bei der neuen GTS-Variante von Cayenne und Cayenne Coupe ist das exakt genauso. Die großen Porsche haben ordentlich Muskeln, aber die sind sehr fein verpackt, so das Vorab-Fazit des Motor-Informations-Dienstes (mid) nach der ersten Ausfahrt.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

  Was die Fans möglichst vieler Zylinder besonders freut: Die Zuffenhauser sind für den neuen GTS vom Sechs- auf den Achtzylinder-Antrieb zurückgeschwenkt. Der Vierliter-Biturbo leistet 338 kW/460 PS und liefert ein Drehmoment von maximal 620 Newtonmetern (Nm). Dass sich damit, gerade in Verbindung mit einer willigen und fein abgestuften Achtgang-Automatik, einiges anfangen lässt, ist klar. Schon in der Theorie sind die 4,5 Sekunden für den Sprint bis 100 km/h in Verbindung mit dem Sport Chrono-Paket eindrucksvoll. Die Spitze von 270 km/h auch. Doch was der Antrieb in der Realität mit den mehr als zwei Tonnen “Lebendgewicht” des Cayenne GTS anstellt, ist ein ganz eigenes Erlebnis.

Orchestriert vom Sound der komplett neu entwickelten Sportauspuffanlage katapultiert sich das Fünf-Meter-SUV nach vorne, als könnte es kurzfristig die Massenträgheit abschalten. Das maximal zulässige Landstraßentempo ist gefühlt in einem Augenzwinkern erreicht – und es geht schier unermüdlich weiter. Noch im Bereich der Höchstgeschwindigkeit wirkt der GTS eher wie ein hochgelegter Sportler und nicht wie ein hochbeiniger Vielzweck-Untersatz.

Der Verbrauch pendelt sich beim ersten Aufgalopp auf Landstraßen, Autobahnen und schwäbischen Ortschaften mit Heerscharen von Tempo-Blitzern auch dank der adaptiven Zylinderabschaltung bei rund 14 Liter je 100 Kilometer ein. Der Normverbrauch der nach Euro 6d-ISC-FCM zertifizierten Sport-SUV liegt laut dem wenig aussagekräftigen NEFZ-Fahrzyklus bei 11,2 bis 11,4 Liter.

Damit das GTS-Ausführen zur komplett runden Angelegenheit wird, haben die Porsche-Ingenieure auch beim Fahrwerk kräftig Hand angelegt. Die Karosserie über dem serienmäßigen Stahlfederfahrwerk mit der betont sportlich ausgelegten Dämpferregelung Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) ist um 20 Millimeter tiefergelegt, ein Übriges fürs ungetrübte Kurvenvergnügen tun das Torque Vectoring Plus und die 21 Zoll großen RS Spyder Design-Räder.

Es ist immer wieder verblüffend, wie fix, mühelos und präzise sich der schwere Brocken um enge Ecken zirkeln lässt. Bei den Bremsen hat der GTS-Interessent die Wahl zwischen Grauguss, Stoppern mit Wolframcarbid-Beschichtung oder der Keramikbremse. Und dann gibt es natürlich noch die Dreikammer-Luftfederung mit zehn Millimeter Tieferlegung, die Hinterachslenkung und die elektromechanische Wankstabilisierung.

Innendrin verwöhnen Alcantara am Dachhimmel, auf den Sitzmittelbahnen, den Armauflagen von Mittelkonsole und Türen plus feines Leder und dunkel gebürstetes Aluminium. Serienmäßig sind vorne Sportsitze mit Acht-Wege-Verstellung eingebaut, die laut Prosche “durch die zusätzliche Erhöhung der Seitenwangen optimalen Halt bei dynamischen Kurvenfahrten” geben – was absolut der Realität entspricht.

Im Bereich Sicherheit und Assistenzsysteme, Vernetzung und Konnektivität sind die beiden neuen GTSler auf dem hohen Level der anderen Cayenne-Modelle. Preislich beginnt der Spaß bei 114.087 Euro für den Cayenne GTS und bei 118.490 Euro für das Cayenne GTS Coupe. Ausgeliefert werden die neuen Mitglieder der Cayenne-Familie ab Juli 2020.

A look at Grant Cardone’s real estate portfolio and how he raised $15M in 90 minutes at Marlins Park

At Marlins Park on Super Bowl weekend in February, thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs watch as a black Rolls-Royce SUV with tinted windows roars onto the stage amid a cloud of smoke. Over the loudspeakers, the song “Nuthin’ but a “G” Thang” plays as Snoop Dogg steps out of the driver’s seat.

But his passenger is the real star of the day. Donning dark sunglasses along with a black sweatshirt with the words “10X” in gold lettering, the 60-year-old, gray-haired Grant Cardone walks alongside the rapper, singing to the lyrics into a microphone.

A speaker, author, business consultant and real estate investor, Cardone has amassed more than 2.4 million Instagram followers who look to him for advice on how to grow their businesses. In Miami, he held a three-day conference as part of his 10X Growth Tour — named for his goal to grow your business 10 times.

“The whole world knows about Miami, Marlins stadium and Grant Cardone putting 35,000 people for three days at that place during Super Bowl weekend,” Cardone said in an interview with The Real Deal.

Cardone’s social media posts portray him as a person of great wealth and success. In one Instagram post he boards a private plane with the caption, “You can’t get rich by acting poor.” In others, he’s traveling the world and meeting with celebrities such as boxer Floyd Mayweather. On his website, you can buy wristbands that say “Don’t Be a Little Bitch,” which to Cardone means: stop complaining about your problems.

The Louisiana native’s real estate company, however, is much less bombastic than his events or his lifestyle. Based in Aventura, Cardone Capital only buys apartments across the Southeast where rents average less than $1,500 per month, he said. The company paid about $90 million for the 346-unit Atlantic Delray Apartments in Delray Beach in October 2018. In July, the company bought a 501-unit apartment complex at 2903 Northwest 130th Avenue near Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise for an undisclosed price. In the first seven months of this year the firm completed almost $350 million in deals.

Cardone’s thesis is simple: The American dream of homeownership is dead, and everyone is going to move to apartments.

“You got 75 million millennials that don’t want to own anything. They wouldn’t own their tennis shoes if they could just lease them,” Cardone said.

He is now opening up his real estate investments to his social media followers who can invest in his fund with a minimum of $5,000. Cardone, who is speaking at The Real Deal’s 6th Annual Showcase & Forum on Oct. 17, talked to TRD about his investment strategy and how he got into real estate.

How did you get into real estate investing?

I will never forget it, it was 30 years ago. It was $78,000. I put $3,000 down and I bought a house, and I thought I was going to be a real estate mogul. I rented it to Janet and her sister, Jill. I think I was making $180 bucks a month. I said, ‘Oh man, I am going to get rich doing this.’ Then they moved out about five or six months after living there. Then I realized I was responsible for the payment of the house. Then I was like ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t do this.’ I was 28-years old, it was a single-family house in Houston, Texas. I sold that house because I realized it was something that I didn’t know. I got my money back, sold the house to a guy who did know what he was doing. I spent the next three years studying apartments, which is the only thing that we focus on now, which is buying apartments. I did my first real apartment deal in San Diego, California. It was $1.9 million and it was 38 units. Then we were off to the races.

Why did you switch from single-family homes to apartments?

Real estate wasn’t my first business. I had two other companies and I was doing consulting for companies. But I always had a love affair for real estate. When I did the single-family home, frankly, I bought based off what money I had. I didn’t do a lot of research. I just did the easy thing. I got the loan with almost no money down. And I could buy the house and rent it to someone else. So when they moved out, I realized there was something I don’t understand. There was a risk, there was a risk of having to pay a note. So I went and studied other super real estate investors like Sam Zell, Donald Bren and Fred Trump. What did these guys create? These guys, by the way, are not super genius people. I could relate to them, these are all kind of blue-collar people. They all have one thing in common. They had scale. They have apartments, they all did affordable. So my next deal, it would be in three years. For those three years, every weekend I would shop real estate. I was in Houston at the time and I moved to San Diego. I would read deals and shop deals and bought my first deal in San Diego three years later.

What are the markets you would avoid?

California and New York. You couldn’t convince me to do a deal in California. It’s about who actually owns the real estate. They are so tenant-friendly that I can’t move a non-paying tenant out. And if I can’t move a bad tenant out, then I can’t take care of my property and all of my good tenants. You got other problems in both those places, you have water and trash problems. We are not ready to scale to those markets. Even if I wanted to, we are not ready to scale to those markets. I like tax-free states. I like job migration. Neither one of those states, California and New York, have positive job migration. We are looking for a very affordable band of real estate. Our average rental is probably $1,100 to $1,300 [per month].

Where is tenant demand coming from for your properties in South Florida? Are people just getting priced out of single-family homes?

I think that people don’t even want single-family homes any more. I think the preferred way of living is going to be an apartment complex. The [D.R.] Hortons, the big homebuilders are building more apartments because they don’t want to say this publicly, but the American consumer is not inclined to buy a home today. You got 75 million millennials that don’t want to own anything. They wouldn’t own their tennis shoes if they could just lease them. Then you have 80 million baby boomers who have already owned a home, [who] know it is not the American Dream. You got half of the population who is interested in mobility rather than in home ownership. This will play out over the next decade or two. We bought the debt deal in Delray [Beach]. That swimming pool had to cost $2 million to build. Well, where could I get a $2 million swimming pool? The house would have to be $30 million to build a $2 million swimming pool.

Is there an oversaturation of upper Class A apartments in Miami?

I think there will end up being an oversupply. The real issue is that we don’t have income growth in America. I get concerned about all these places that are going up that support someone not at $2,200 [per month in rent] but at $4,000. I don’t know why we need all these $4,000-$4,500 per month apartments.

Are you buying in Miami right now?

We are buying, but we are very, very selective. You got to be careful right now.

Why are you careful?

You got to be really careful in location. That’s not just in Miami. In Houston, you have to be very careful on location. People should be preparing for a recession. I want to be recession-proof. I don’t want to be beat up. At the same time, I don’t want to wait for a recession to buy property.

Are you noticing any signs in the real estate market that a recession is imminent?

I wouldn’t look for a recession just in the real estate market. I would look for it in the everyday person. I am looking at what people can spend money on. If you look at the auto industry, the cars that sell best, there is a direct correlation between the subsidy offered by the manufacturer and how well that car sells. The high-volume activity in the automobile sector is driven by subsidiaries, no money down, very low and no interest rates. You could say the same thing about the furniture industry, meaning people don’t have the down payment to make discretionary purchases.

What attracts you to invest in South Florida?

I left California, I moved here seven years ago. A lot of people are following me over since then. Now you got New York coming down here… I like our politics. I like that we don’t have a state income tax. I like the warmth. Older population prefers warm weather during the year. I just finished traveling, we did 19 countries in two months for the 10X tour. I’ve been to Singapore, Dubai, London, Malaysia, and Thailand. I’ve been to some beautiful places. Every time I fly back into Miami, I say, ‘Damn this place is beautiful.’ When other people come here, they see that… I am always looking at deals here as long as it is a cash-flow positive deal even in the face of a contraction.

How are you financing your real estate deals?

We raised about $250 million in the last 20 months using social media. I raised a quarter of a billion without using a family fund or an institution and without running ads and bringing anyone to dinner. This is a story by itself. $250 million, 20 months and our advertising spend is negligible. No fees, no brokers to raise the money. Its Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I buy the deals with my money. Once they are stable and cash flow positive, we then offer it on Instagram or Facebook or LinkedIn and say, ‘Hey you can invest in this with me.’ Rather than invest in family funds or go to traditional institutional lenders for equity, we use crowdfunding via social media. The equity comes from me first. I write a check for the deal, I get traditional lending from Fannie [Mae] and Freddie [Mac] or a life insurance company, then I backfill the equity from my social media following which is shy of 20 million people worldwide.

What’s the minimum investment?

$5,000 for a non-accredited fund.

What are your expected returns?

We target transactions that we believe can deliver 15 percent annualized to the investors after expenses.

How did you get into motivational speaking?

I take offense to being called a motivational speaker. I am an educator. When I was 31 years old, I was helping companies increase their revenues. It started with small companies. Then a small company introduced me to a bigger company. Then I was introduced to Nissan Motor Company. I have been working with companies for 30 years on how to raise their revenue. It just so happens if people aren’t motivated about raising their revenues they probably won’t raise their money.

When did you start going overseas on these tours such as the 10X?

We started doing that about a year and a half ago when some people called. We put 35,000 people at the Miami event. Once we did that last February, the phone rang off the hook. More people were in the Marlins stadium that weekend than have ever been there for months at a time, by the way. The whole world knows about Miami, Marlins stadium and Grant Cardone putting 35,000 people for three days at that place during Super Bowl weekend. So, how ballsy is that? We raised almost $15 million at that event in 90 minutes for our real estate.

What is the question that you get most commonly asked?

How do I grow a business? Guys in startups, a guy that is making a million dollars a year. I attract people that want to grow things. So, in real estate you are buying 30 units — how do I grow my portfolio?

You live in Sunny Isles Beach? Do you plan to stay there?

I got two kids, an eight-year-old and a 10-year-old, we own the office here, 25,000 square feet in Aventura. I would buy all the apartments in Aventura. It’s just impossible to move around here… People are going to choose renting over owning in the future. It’s going to become obvious to everyone.

Any other plans you have in the future?

In the next three years, I am going to raise $3 billion in cash to build a $10 billion real estate portfolio using social media. It’s never been done before. I am going to do it without paying agents and fees. No brokerages. About 25 percent of the money is coming from retirement accounts, self-directed 401Ks. Without any brokers involved, without any licensed agents.

Toyota Shows Off Custom Corolla Hatches and Tundras

Toyota once again brought out a fleet of custom show cars to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Unlike last year when it had the outrageous C-HR R-Tuned and a number of NASCAR-modified Camrys, Toyota chose to highlight the Corolla hatchback and Tundra pickup truck for this year’s show. Check out all of Toyota’s SEMA vehicles below.

Tundra Pie Pro

Toyota attracted all the hungry SEMA Show attendees to its booth with this pizza-making Tundra . The Pie Pro is a fully automated, mobile pizza kitchen on wheels. Built by Toyota’s Motorsports Technical Center in collaboration with Pizza Hut, the truck can make a fresh pizza in about seven minutes from when it’s ordered.

We wish we could say the truck is also pizza-powered, but it instead relies on a hydrogen fuel-cell electric powertrain that only emits water vapor from the tailpipe. This means the truck has an almost non-existent carbon footprint, according to Toyota. Robots from Nachi Robotics Systems make and cook the pies in TurboChef conveyor ovens.

SoCal Kustomz Corolla

This is SoCal Kustomz first venture into the import scene and the company’s first SEMA build project. The garage specializes in restoring American muscle cars, and applied those skills to this Corolla hatchback project.

The builders fabricated custom intake and exhaust systems for the hatch, and also adapted a Nitrous Express injection system for extra power. The Corolla rides on Motegi MR138 wheels shod in Nexen N’Fera SUR4G high-performance tires. Inside, the Corolla is upholstered in leather with SoCal Kustomz logos.

Muscle Tuner Automotive Corolla

In tribute to the classic Corolla AE86, the Muscle Tuner Automotive Corolla features a custom wrap with AE86 cues like the black lateral rocker panel strip and white-on-black Toyota lettering on the front bumper. Exterior modifications continue with an aluminum front splitter, a rear diffuser, side spoilers, and front bumper canards and winglets.

But the custom hatch isn’t all show and no go, as the builders installed a Nitrous Express injection system, a custom 3-inch intake system, and a custom straight-pipe exhaust with Magnaflow muffler and 3.5-inch tips. Using a prototype coil-over suspension setup from RS-R Japan, the Corolla is lowered on Rays Gram Light Model 57 Extreme wheels wrapped in Bridgestone RE-71R performance tires.

Papadakis Racing Corolla

The Papadakis Corolla was built to compete in the Formula Drift Pro series, and is a joint project of Toyota Racing Development (TRD) and Papadakis Racing. The team, led by well-known sport compact racer Stephan Papadakis, tore down the hatch to the bare chassis and rebuilt the center section to house the transmission and driveline for the rear-drive conversion.

The factory engine was replaced with an 850-hp 2.7-liter I-4 Toyota 2AR-FE engine that uses a BorgWarner EFR 8374 turbocharger and nitrous oxide. TRD and renowned car illustrator Jon Sibal designed and manufactured the custom wide-body panels and the “old school meets new school” TRD-Blue Flame livery. The turbo-back exhaust is custom and the hatch rides on Motegi Racing MR133 wheels shod in Nexen N’Fera SUR4G tires. Customization continues inside with Sparco racing seats and a Papadakis Racing roll cage.

Super Street Corolla

Our friends at Super Street created a sleek Corolla hatchback that looks like it came straight from Tokyo Auto Salon. Upgrades like RS-R coil-overs, Wilwood Superlite brake calipers with drilled and slotted rotors, and Volk Racing TE37 Saga wheels shod in Falken FK510 tires will help the hatch hold its own on the track or in the canyons.

The titanium exhaust tips from the A’PEXi quad system, the Avery Dennison body wrap, and the Auto Tuned carbon-fiber front lip, side skirts, and rear spats add lots of visual candy. Inside, the heated Corbeau Sportline RRS bucket seats and Pioneer audio system spice things up.

Hoonigan Corolla

High-performance driving videos like those in Ken Block’s long-running Gymkhana series typically feature fast cars performing unbelievable stunts. But what you don’t usually see is the car that’s capturing those stunts, a vehicle that has to keep pace with whatever it’s shooting and be highly capable in its own right. The team at Hoonigan, led by car photographer Larry Chen, turned their Corolla hatch into a chase car for video production. But unlike most camera vehicles, this Corolla hatch can be safely driven on the streets because the crane and video gear (not pictured) can be disassembled and packed into cases that fit in the hatch.

The Hoonigan Corolla’s camera rig uses a Motocrane Ultra crane, a Freefly Movi XL gimbal, a Red Dragon camera, a Canon 17-120mm lens, and a Tilta Nucleus focusing system. Hoonigan, inspired by Corolla rally cars from the ’90s, modified the hatchback with 17-inch Fifteen52 Integrale wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R tires, Hella spotlights, an ARP Performance bumper lip, a Wrap Legends body wrap, and RS-R performance springs.

Kevin Costner Tundra Platinum

What looks like a zombie-apocalypse truck is actually Kevin Costner’s personal project and full-size toy. The actor and director worked with Toyota and Complete Customs to transform the Tundra into an extreme outdoor rig that features a 4.5-inch BDS lift on Fox coil-overs and shocks, custom fabricated front and rear bumpers that incorporate Warn winches and Rigid Industries light bars, a two-piece roof rack attached to an ARE V Series bed shell, and Method Racing wheels cocooned in beefy 35-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. A Dometic dual-zone cooler and Lock’erdown safes are equipped inside. The Tundra accompanies Kevin Costner to his on-location film shoots and outdoor excursions.

TRD and renowned car illustrator Jon Sibal designed and manufactured the custom wide-body panels and the “old school meets new school” TRD-Blue Flame livery. The turbo-back exhaust is custom and the hatch rides on Motegi Racing MR133 wheels shod in Nexen N’Fera SUR4G tires. Customization continues inside with Sparco racing seats and a Papadakis Racing roll cage.

Super Street Corolla

Our friends at Super Street created a sleek Corolla hatchback that looks like it came straight from Tokyo Auto Salon. Upgrades like RS-R coil-overs, Wilwood Superlite brake calipers with drilled and slotted rotors, and Volk Racing TE37 Saga wheels shod in Falken FK510 tires will help the hatch hold its own on the track or in the canyons.

The titanium exhaust tips from the A’PEXi quad system, the Avery Dennison body wrap, and the Auto Tuned carbon-fiber front lip, side skirts, and rear spats add lots of visual candy. Inside, the heated Corbeau Sportline RRS bucket seats and Pioneer audio system spice things up.

Hoonigan Corolla

High-performance driving videos like those in Ken Block’s long-running Gymkhana series typically feature fast cars performing unbelievable stunts. But what you don’t usually see is the car that’s capturing those stunts, a vehicle that has to keep pace with whatever it’s shooting and be highly capable in its own right. The team at Hoonigan, led by car photographer Larry Chen, turned their Corolla hatch into a chase car for video production. But unlike most camera vehicles, this Corolla hatch can be safely driven on the streets because the crane and video gear (not pictured) can be disassembled and packed into cases that fit in the hatch.

The Hoonigan Corolla’s camera rig uses a Motocrane Ultra crane, a Freefly Movi XL gimbal, a Red Dragon camera, a Canon 17-120mm lens, and a Tilta Nucleus focusing system. Hoonigan, inspired by Corolla rally cars from the ’90s, modified the hatchback with 17-inch Fifteen52 Integrale wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R tires, Hella spotlights, an ARP Performance bumper lip, a Wrap Legends body wrap, and RS-R performance springs.

Kevin Costner Tundra Platinum

What looks like a zombie-apocalypse truck is actually Kevin Costner’s personal project and full-size toy. The actor and director worked with Toyota and Complete Customs to transform the Tundra into an extreme outdoor rig that features a 4.5-inch BDS lift on Fox coil-overs and shocks, custom fabricated front and rear bumpers that incorporate Warn winches and Rigid Industries light bars, a two-piece roof rack attached to an ARE V Series bed shell, and Method Racing wheels cocooned in beefy 35-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. A Dometic dual-zone cooler and Lock’erdown safes are equipped inside. The Tundra accompanies Kevin Costner to his on-location film shoots and outdoor excursions.

Toyota Shows Off Custom Corolla Hatches and Tundras

Toyota once again brought out a fleet of custom show cars to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Unlike last year when it had the outrageous C-HR R-Tuned and a number of NASCAR-modified Camrys, Toyota chose to highlight the Corolla hatchback and Tundra pickup truck for this year’s show. Check out all of Toyota’s SEMA vehicles below.

Tundra Pie Pro

Toyota attracted all the hungry SEMA Show attendees to its booth with this pizza-making Tundra . The Pie Pro is a fully automated, mobile pizza kitchen on wheels. Built by Toyota’s Motorsports Technical Center in collaboration with Pizza Hut, the truck can make a fresh pizza in about seven minutes from when it’s ordered.

We wish we could say the truck is also pizza-powered, but it instead relies on a hydrogen fuel-cell electric powertrain that only emits water vapor from the tailpipe. This means the truck has an almost non-existent carbon footprint, according to Toyota. Robots from Nachi Robotics Systems make and cook the pies in TurboChef conveyor ovens.

SoCal Kustomz Corolla

This is SoCal Kustomz first venture into the import scene and the company’s first SEMA build project. The garage specializes in restoring American muscle cars, and applied those skills to this Corolla hatchback project.

The builders fabricated custom intake and exhaust systems for the hatch, and also adapted a Nitrous Express injection system for extra power. The Corolla rides on Motegi MR138 wheels shod in Nexen N’Fera SUR4G high-performance tires. Inside, the Corolla is upholstered in leather with SoCal Kustomz logos.

Muscle Tuner Automotive Corolla

In tribute to the classic Corolla AE86, the Muscle Tuner Automotive Corolla features a custom wrap with AE86 cues like the black lateral rocker panel strip and white-on-black Toyota lettering on the front bumper. Exterior modifications continue with an aluminum front splitter, a rear diffuser, side spoilers, and front bumper canards and winglets.

But the custom hatch isn’t all show and no go, as the builders installed a Nitrous Express injection system, a custom 3-inch intake system, and a custom straight-pipe exhaust with Magnaflow muffler and 3.5-inch tips. Using a prototype coil-over suspension setup from RS-R Japan, the Corolla is lowered on Rays Gram Light Model 57 Extreme wheels wrapped in Bridgestone RE-71R performance tires.

Papadakis Racing Corolla

The Papadakis Corolla was built to compete in the Formula Drift Pro series, and is a joint project of Toyota Racing Development (TRD) and Papadakis Racing. The team, led by well-known sport compact racer Stephan Papadakis, tore down the hatch to the bare chassis and rebuilt the center section to house the transmission and driveline for the rear-drive conversion.

The factory engine was replaced with an 850-hp 2.7-liter I-4 Toyota 2AR-FE engine that uses a BorgWarner EFR 8374 turbocharger and nitrous oxide.

2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Speed Automatic

New Post has been published on http://auto.tintoantap.com/2017-toyota-tacoma-trd-pro-speed-automatic/

2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Speed Automatic

   The Toyota Tacoma is a pickup truck manufactured in the U.S. by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota since 1995. The first generation Tacoma, model years 1995 through 2004, was classified as a compact pickup. The second generation was classified as mid-size.

This is hard-core engineering. TRD-tuned FOX Internal Bypass shocks give you the ultimate in performance and control. Featuring 2.5-in. aluminum housings; hardened, oversize shock shafts; and remote reservoirs in the rear. These are designed to help provide more ground clearance, more travel, maximum damping and fade-free performance. In other words, this suspension helps smooth out the rough stuff.

Engineered by TRD, these intense LED fog lights pack a lot of brightness into a compact package. Aluminum housings feature the Rigid Industries logo, and rugged construction helps ensure that these lights can endure harsher environments. With their wide-angle beam pattern, these lights help ensure you have light when, and where, you need it.

When you got it, flaunt it. Inspired by the iconic Toyota trucks of the past, this blackout heritage grille reminds everyone why Toyota is still king of the off-road.

A unique TRD Pro skid plate comes standard on Tacoma TRD Pro. Constructed from 1/4-in.-thick aluminum, this piece of armor helps protect crucial mechanical components underneath the front end, so you can even go beyond points on the map.

This is the bark behind the powerful V6 bite. This cat-back exhaust adds a raspy exhaust note that announces your arrival. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, its precise CNC mandrel bends help maximize efficiency. Helping finish off the package is a chrome-plated, dual-walled tip with embossed TRD logo.

Yamaha Tenere 700:

Um den gesamten Erdball muss es ja nicht gleich gehen. Eines ist jedoch sicher, die Tenere 700 würde eine solche Tour locker meistern. Aber auch kleinere Ausflüge bringen großen Spaß mit der Reise-Enduro. “Tenere” bedeutet in der Sprache der Tuareg “Land da draußen”. Und mehr will sie auch gar nicht, als “ins Land da draußen”, egal ob ihr Sand oder Asphalt unter die Reifen kommt. Der Motor-Informations-Dienst (mid) hat die Yamaha getestet.

  Die Wurzeln der Tenere gehen zurück bis ins Jahr 1976. Damals stellte Yamaha das Abenteuer-Motorrad XT500 vor. Mit ihrem drehmomentstarken Motor und dem kompakten Fahrwerk wurde die Einzylinder-Maschine schnell zum Hit der Szene und zum meistverkauften Yamaha-Modell. Den Namen “Tenere” trug dann 1983 erstmals die Yamaha XT600Z. In den 1990er Jahren holte der Franzose Stephane Peterhansel mit der Werksmaschine XTZ750 sechs Siege bei der Rallye Dakar. Danach wurde es ruhig um die Tenere. Es entstanden zwar weiter Enduros im Hause Yamaha, die sind aber eher als “Soft-Enduros” zu bezeichnen. Ein herausragende Reise-Enduro wie die aktuelle Tenere 700 war nicht darunter.

Die ist ein richtiges Männer-Abenteuer-Ding, schlank, hoch aufgeschossen, schmale harte Sitzbank, langer Radstand, aggressive Frontansicht mit vier LED-Scheinwerfern im 2+2-Layout angeordnet, kein angebauter Schnick Schnack. Ab der Körpergröße von 1,80 Metern geht das Aufsitzen auf die Sitzbank der Tenere geschmeidig. Die Sitzhöhe beträgt heftige 875 Millimeter. Diese Höhe hilft jedoch bei der Tour im Gelände, denn Offroad-Biker müssen sich immer wieder mal in den Stand aufrichten, um so die Maschine besser kontrollieren zu können. Das ist von einer höheren Sitzbank aus einfacher. Yamaha bietet im Zubehör auch eine niedrige Bank an.

Die ersten Kilometer sind absolviert. Auf der Yamaha stellt sich die “Leichtigkeit des Seins” ein. Mit nur 204 Kilogramm ist dieses Motorrad das Leichtgewicht unter den größeren Reise-Enduros. Die Sitzbank ist schmal, aber nicht allzu hart. Der schlanke Kraftstofftank, der mit 16 Litern betankt werden kann, wird locker zwischen die Knie genommen. Die Hände liegen entspannt und durch Handprotektoren geschützt auf dem Lenker. Das hoch aufgestellte, nicht verstellbare Windshield hält Wind und Regen ab. Läuft also mit der Tenere.

Der wassergekühlte Zweizylinder-Reihenmotor passt zur Yamaha. Die 73 Pferdestärken, mit denen er bestückt ist, reichen vollkommen aus. Es müssen nicht immer über 100 PS sein, um Fahrspaß zu haben. Überhaupt: Das eher puristische der Tenere 700 versprüht Charme. Der Twin ist drehfreudig, die Gänge sind leicht durchschaltbar und der Handhebel kann locker mit zwei Fingern bedient werden. Die Bremsen greifen gut, im Praxistest werden viele Pluspunkte gesammelt. An Bord sind weder elektronisch wählbare Fahrmodi noch Traktionskontrolle oder Schaltautomatik. Ein Offroad-ABS oder gar Smartphone-Connection – nicht daran zu denken.

Das Cockpit ist ebenso einfach und klar gestaltet. Gut ablesbar und sauber gegliedert lassen sich alle Informationen auf dem Display ablesen. Auch hier ist weniger mehr. Überbordende Informationen ade. Kilometerzähler, Tourenzähler, ein Schalter, um das ABS im Gelände abzuschalten – das war es auch fast schon.

Apropos Gelände: Kaum geht es ein wenig abseits asphaltierter Straßen in den Märkischen Sand, zeigt die Yamaha was sie noch so kann. Im Stehen, Füße auf den Rasten, bereit zu schalten und zu bremsen, den Gasgriff leicht gezogen zieht sie locker und nie unruhig vom Fleck. Sie gibt die Rückmeldung: “Mit mir kannst Du Straße, Landstraße und Gelände, mit mir kannst Du quer durch Europa oder wenn Du magst, auch rund um die Welt fahren.”

Back to the roots – zurück zu den Wurzeln – das ist die Yamaha Tenere 700. Sie kann viel und verbraucht dabei recht wenig: im Schnitt um die 4,5 Liter Benzin je 100 Kilometer. Wer wirklich auf große Reise gehen will, bekommt bei Yamaha auch noch ein stabiles, praktisches Gepäckträgersystem mit den passenden Aluboxen dazu. Der Preis für die Yamaha Tenere 700 startet bei 9.600 Euro.

Dauerbrenner Renault 16 feiert 55. Geburtstag

(TRD/MID)  Exakt 1.845.959 Exemplare dieses Meilensteins seiner Unternehmensgeschichte baute Renault, vom März 1965 bis zum Januar 1980. Keine Frage: Der R 16 war ein echter Dauerbrenner – und ein voller Erfolg.

Vor 55 Jahren auf dem Genfer Automobilsalon wurde die erste Mittelklasse-Limousine mit Schrägheck, großer Kofferraumklappe und variablem Innenraumkonzept erstmals enthüllt. Der Renault 16 war seinerzeit schlicht eine automobile Sensation und “ließ die konventionellen Stufenheckmodelle mit einem Schlag alt aussehen”, heißt es noch heute bei den Franzosen.

Créateur d’automobiles

Das Lastenheft für das neue Familienauto, verfasst vom damaligen Renault-Präsidenten Pierre Dreyfus, war klar definiert: Elegant wie eine Limousine und dabei geräumig und wandlungsfähig wie ein Kombi sollte die Kreation sein. Vom Start weg überzeugte der R 16 durch eine bis dahin ungeahnte Innenraum-Variabilität. Top-Verkaufsergebnisse und die Auszeichnung als “Auto des Jahres 1965” waren die Folge.
