BMW 650i Frozen Brilliant White Edition Convertible

BMW 650i Frozen Brilliant White Edition Convertible:

Posted on 03.25.2013 10:00 by      Efotosadis fotosadis

The 2014 BMW 6-Series will be heading to dealers soon and BMW has just announced an all-new special edition for folks who happen to think the 2014 650i just won’t be enough car for them. This new model is dubbed the Frozen Brilliant White Edition and you can order it in two trim levels: 650i Convertible or 650i xDrive Convertible.
On the outside, there is plenty to distinguish this new model from the normal 6-Series. The most distinguishing element is its exclusive Frozen Brilliant White Metallic matte paintjob, but the Frozen Black mirror caps, black BMW kidney grilles and 20-inch BMW M Performance light-alloy wheels in a bi-color paint scheme also help set it apart. Contrasting the exterior color perfectly is the black cloth top.
Inside the cabin, this new special edition includes black Nappa leather upholstery trimmed out with Gray Poplar wood. The Frozen Brilliant White Edition also includes the Dynamic Digital Instrument Cluster, which is making its debut in the U.S. Basically, this system changes its look and what it displays to match the Driving Dynamics Control Mode you select.
In addition to these exclusive additions, BMW is also tossing in the M Sport Package, which includes an increase in the top-speed limiter, Shadowline exterior trimming, body-colored front and rear bumpers, and an M Steering wheel. Also added in is the Executive Package, which adds ceramic controls, a heads-up display, ventilated front seats, smartphone integration, soft-close automatic doors and BMW Apps. Lastly, BMW adds the Cold Weather Package standard, which adds in a ski bag and a heated steering wheel. In 2013, these kits combined would cost you a whopping $8,100 and you get them “free.”
Under the hood, there are no changes from the base 650i, so we would expect it to carry the same 4.4-liter V-8 that punches out 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. The only difference between this and the base 650i Convertible is that the M Performance package jumps its top speed from 130 mph to 155 mph.
As for pricing, the 650i Frozen Brilliant White Edition will come in at $106,995 and the xDrive model will hit $110,095. Production is set to start in April or May of 2013 and only 100 models will be produced.
Hit the jump for BMW’s press release

Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG "Stealth" by German Special Customs

Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG "Stealth" by German Special Customs:

Posted on 03.20.2013 11:00 by      Efotosadis Fotosadis

When you think of the term “Stealth,” the last thing that comes to mind is a bright-orange CLS63 AMG with nearly 800 horsepower screaming down city streets. Well, apparently the folks over at German Special Customs couldn’t care less what you think about the term, as they rocked the CLS to supercar status and called it just that: Stealth.
On the outside, you get the already sexy coupè look wrapped up in a super-bright shade of orange that is ripped straight from the Aventador’s color palette. Up front, GSC adds in an aggressive front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lights, a mean-looking hood with monstrous heat-extracting vents and all-new fenders that cap off the vicious front end.
Around the backside, you get an all-new rear bumper cover that boasts a carbon-fiber diffusor to help pull the back end down at high speeds. A high-grade-steel four-pipe exhaust system is one with the diffusor, giving the CLS 63 a clean finish and a rather mean exhaust note.
Also added into the mix is a set of wheels size 20-by-9 inches up front and 20-by-10.5 inches on the back wrapped up in super-sticky Michelin tires sized 255/30R20 and 305/25R20, respectively. This sticky rubber is combined with a KW coil-over suspension system and adjustable dampers to make this massive performance coupè even more competent in the twist.
Inside, you also get a tasty treat, as GSC fits the CLS63 AMG with orange Lambo leather and a slew of carbon-fiber components.
What makes the Stealth so bad-ass is what’s under the hood. The 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine was already powerful from the factory – 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque – but GSC did it one better. The tuner pumped this V-8’s output up to 750 horsepower and 1,150 Nm (848 pound-feet) of torque. This drops its 0-to-100 km/h (62 mph) time down to just 3.7 seconds and bumps its top speed up to 350 km/h (217 mph). That’s a good 0.7 seconds faster to 100 km/h than the stock CLS63 AMG.
Unfortunately, GSC didn’t offer up a price on this beastly kit, but you can contact them at info@germanspecialcustoms.com for pricing details. We’re sure it is somewhere near the €50,000 ($65,000) mark.

Posted on 03.8.2013 24:00 by      Efotosadis

Chris Harris was at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and he was among the first to review all the latest supercars announced at the show: the McLaren P1 and the new LaFerrari - two of the greatest models seen in Geneva, and it’s not only us saying it! Along with these supercars, Harris also takes a look at cars like the new Alfa Romeo 4C and the new-generation Golf GTI.
He also took a trip outside where he did a short review on the new Mercedes E63 AMG - a car that apparently did quite an impression on him.
Can you guess which one of the new supercars was his favorite? We will tell you which ones he did not like: the Lamborghini Veneno and the new KTM X-Bow GT. The real test is whether his opinions are shared among other experts or is he just strange?

Classical music standards developed between 1550-1900 m.Klasikal church music and secular. Church came from church hymns, psalms, and secular - the harmonized dance, folk melodies. However, a frequent composer have formed both types of music. Classical music is instrumental and vocal. Instrumental classical music is generally performs Symphony Orchestra. The main instruments used are strings (violin, viola, cello, double bass), wooden wind instruments (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon), brass wind instruments (trumpet, trombone, tuba, French horn), percussion (mostly timpano). Use of electronic instruments are usually not considered to be classical music. Vocal part by the opera singer or choir. If the main form of popular music is a song that classical music has a variety of performance forms, symphony, concert, oratorio, opera, sonata, fugue, suite. Lengthy compositions, musical harmony, the mood is changing.

Photography - conservation technology in mechanical, chemical or digital techniques. The word comes from the Greek words φως Phos ("light") and γραφις graphs ("brush"), which also means drawing with light. This term is in English and German language came into use in 1839. February Experimental period (1820-1840 m). Chalon - sur - Saone, in J. N. Niepce'as since 1813. improved recently invented lithography method. He hoped to create such a manner that "painted" a lithographic chalk, and light. About 1827. He has used the term heliografija (sun drawing), and photographs describing the engravings copying tools. In 1829. December Niepce'as begin to cooperate with L. J. M. Daguerre'u, a former set designer, who in 1822. invented the diorama (an improved version of the panoramic imaging). Daguerre'as discovered that invisible images obtained using silver iodide to highlight the vapor of silver. Logging plates immersed in a hot aqueous salt solution. The first successful dagerotipija made ​​in 1837. Fox Talbot, English scientist and naturalist, in 1833. began testing in order to capture the images onto photosensitive paper. As a developer using gallium acid. Produced by negative, which, covered with wax, to make transparent, and of his receiving a transparent positive prints. Talbot became a pioneer in photographic printing. The method, which produces images kalotipiniai talbotipiniai or became publicly known in 1839. fotogeninis as drawing, and 1841. he patented. Shooting light enters the camera through the lens of the lens system. Adjusting the lens position changing image, the camera focuses in the cell. Top, a variable focal length lens allows not only the "focus" (make bold) scene, but it is closer (in fact at the time the picture angle is reduced, while the approximate them "object has a growing part of the picture area). As long as the camera shutter is open, the light falls on the film negative or other light-sensitive material and affects the light-sensitive elements, as recorded in the image. This process is controlled by two main parameters of photos - and the retention of the diaphragm. Exposure is usually expressed in seconds or parts of a second greatest impact on the amount of light entering fotoaratą. Possible values ​​depend on the maintenance of the same camera and lens replacement does not change. Since the maintenance of brightness and sharpness of moving objects in the picture. The longer the exposure - look at the brighter objects photographed (using a long exposure night images and the like), but will be obscured or completely fused moving objects and people. Exposure photography is combined with the choice of film sensitivity. Film sensitivity is the most important film parameter. It is the manufacturer and depends on the chemical reaction to light qualities. The higher the number, indicating the sensitivity of the strip, the less light (less maintenance, narrower aperture) it needs to capture the same image brightness. This particular lens aperture, forming a variable-diameter hole in the light to enter. It is measured in so called f-numbers identifying the relative aperture of the lens diameter and length ratios. Unlike maintenance, possible difragmos setting options are limited and depends on the lens. Large aperture - the number refers to the narrow beam to get a hole in shooting - from the picture is dark (no maintenance), but even at different distances from the camera in the object will look quite sharp. Meanwhile, a small f - number representing the diagram is widely useful light to spend more light into the picture, but only to highlight and focused at the same distance of the objects - everything else will be noticeably blurry. Later film is affected by chemical means (development) and the image triggered the creation of a positive or negative. After the light projected through a negative (positive) onto light-sensitive paper, create a color or black and white black and white picture - a picture (photograph).
