Honda Stream RSZ Now in Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur, 4 November 2009 – Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd today unveiled its face-lifted Stream RSZ, a sporty multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) with some practical exterior refinements, as well as some aesthetic finishing in the interior.

The Honda Stream RSZ is well accepted amongst Malaysian buyers, known for its performance and drivability, versatility as well as dynamic exterior design. Built for families, styled for singles, is the Honda product message, and gives a new meaning to MPV ownership.

Since its official launch in November 2007, Honda Malaysia has sold more than 2,000 units of the 2nd Generation Stream, of which 352 units were Stream RSZ.

Equipped with a 1.8 i-VTEC engine with Drive-by-Wire (DBW) and a 5-speed automatic transmission (5AT), the new Stream RSZ provides powerful and smooth driving performance, with responsive acceleration and low fuel consumption.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Toru Takahashi, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Honda Malaysia remarked that: “Contrary to public perception, the 7-seater is not only made for families who desire the extra space and practicality. The sporty curves, the superb driving performance are meant to define singles, whose outward sporty character is their second nature.”

“Stylised with a string of bold and dynamic designs on the body, the refined 7-seater now presents a fresh façade that is sporty, bold, and energetic,” he added.

New to the Stream is Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), offering added safety for the new Stream. Drivers are now able to drive more confidently in any weather condition.

On the exterior, the new Stream RSZ sports a new honey comb front grille (with chrome floating garnish), a newly designed bumper and side skirts, thus presenting a bolder and more dynamic appearance.
At the rear, there is a diffuser and a tailgate spoiler, giving the vehicle improved aesthetics, and claimed improvement in overall aerodynamics. With a new 17-inch alloy wheel design, the sporty look is now more edgy and energetic than before.

The taillight design with black garnish is added to improve visibility for motorists following behind. The side mirrors come with turn lights and new fog lamps have been added to improve the car’s illumination, especially during night driving.

In the interior, the refinements incorporated include a leather gear knob, a leather steering wheel with audio control, as well as sporty alloy foot pedals. The leather gear knob and steering wheel are with red stitching. The strokes of red added across the entire instrument panel, cup holders, and upholstery in the interior, give a distinctive racing feel to the interior. For the sporty types, there are shift paddles located behind the steering wheel.

The new Stream RSZ comes with 4 trendy shades: Premium White Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Polished Metal Metallic and New Passion Red Pearl, and the published retail price is RM158, 980 on- the- road with insurance.

Porsche Unveils new 911 GT3 Cup for the Gentleman Racer

If you're thinking about starting your own career as a "gentleman racer", this is the machine you'll need: the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. It's one of the most popular race cars of all time, and is the staple machinery used in a whole variety of racing series in American, Europe and abroad. And for 2010, Porsche has released a newly revised version that is expected to debut at the Frankfurt auto show next month.

Based on the recently-released GT3 RS, the new GT3 Cup is treated to the same improvements as the rest of the revised 911 range. But from there it's all business. It packs the same 3.9-liter 450-hp flat-six engine as the street-legal GT3, but offers more downforce courtesy of extra wings and competition-spec suspension, wheels and more. It comes in white so each team can emblazon it with their own sponsors' logos, and sells for a cool 150,000 euros.

Soccer Star Ronaldo's Porsche for Sale

Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo's black-on-black Porsche 911 convertible (above) is being offered for sale in the UK. As we reported back in January, the champion athlete who is set to play for Real Madrid after his club Manchester United accepted a record £80 million bid last week, totaled his Ferrari but walked away unscathed. The car on offer is a Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Tiptronic S which Ronaldo bought in 2007, the UK Auto Trader reports.

It's just one of a fleet of supercars which have been owned by the 24-year-old, who mainly drives a Bentley Continental GT Speed these days. The Porsche can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 5.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 177 mph. It has only 16,000 miles on it and is priced at £69,995 or about $115,000. Ronaldo was recently snapped canoodling with Paris Hilton in Las Vegas celebrating his new contract.

9ff and Switzer Take the Porsche 911 GT2 to the Extreme

When we reported last month on the Wimmer RS 911 GT2, we surmised that just about everything else would be left in its wake. We were mistaken. Because while most cars – Porsche's own top-of-the-line GT2 included – may have trouble keeping up, here are a pair of bad boys that clearly won't. Because while the Wimmer GT2 packs an impressive 680 horsepower, each of these custom GT2s produces more than 800.

American tuning house Switzer has replaced the stock Porsche turbochargers with even larger ones, recalibrated the engine management and fitted a custom exhaust system to produce a certified 800 horsepower running on standard 93-octane gasoline. Pump in a higher-rated fuel and there's no telling what the Switzer GT2 will be capable of. But if you're looking for something even more extreme, 9ff has got you covered. The German tuning firm has emerged as the be-all and end-all of Porsche tuners, and is backing up its reputation with what it calls the BT2. Based on the same flagship supercar, 9ff has extracted a mind-boggling 850 horsepower to drive its super-sled up to 240 miles per hour, passing 60 in just three seconds. They've topped theirs off with carbon fiber body panels to reduce weight and an aerodynamics kit to keep it planted on the road, and painted this demo model in classic blue-and-orange Gulf livery. Nice work if you can get it.

Wimmer RS GT2: For When an "Ordinary" Porsche 911 GT2 Isn't Fast Enough

Some people don't know when to leave well enough alone. We like those people. Like the engineers over at German tuning firm Wimmer Racing Technology, who have taken Porsche's top-of-the-line 911 GT2 and taken it to an even further extreme.

By tinkering with the electronics and replacing the twin turbochargers, camshafts, cylinder heads and exhaust system, Wimmer has brought the overall output up to a stratospheric 680 horsepower and 642 lb-ft of torque. With all that power in the back, the Wimmer RS GT2 can accelerate to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 221 miles per hour...plenty of grunt, in other words, to keep almost everything on the Autobahn in its rear-view mirror. Along with the carbon-fiber body kit, re-tuned suspension and 21" wheels, the modifications add an extra $40,000 to the "stock" GT2's $191,700 list price, for an on-the-street cost of over $230k. Bragging rights included.
