Car Pr0n: Honda Civic Type RR

 Japanese Performance Car News, Mittwoch, 30 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

While its torsion beam rear suspension may lack the outright handling potential of the multi-link rear found in the Japanese Market FD2 Civic Type R, there's no denying that the European (and Australian) spec FN2 CTR is one beautiful beast. In racing guise it's even more handsome, and the JAS Motorsport-built Civic Type RR (not to be confused with Mugen's own Civic RR) brutishly so.Thanks to Cartribe, we've got a bunch of pics of the 'double-arr' for you all to drool over. This particular car...

Crossing Over

 Japanese Performance Car News, Mittwoch, 30 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

Hmm, the Japanese car mags strike again. Are Mitsubishi planning an all-out performance assault on the crossover market with this Lancer Sportback-based CUV? That may be a bombshell they're saving up for the Sportback's launch at the Paris Motor Show in October, but it could just as easily be the product of yet another crack-smokin' Japanese CG artist. Whatever the case may be, the rendering shown is undeniably attractive for a crossover and for some unfathomable reason I find myself unable to...

GT-R Spec-V Performance Numbers Revealed?

 Japanese Performance Car News, Mittwoch, 30 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

The lads and ladettes over at Road & Track believe they've managed to uncover some hard stats on Nissan's upcoming Spec-V (Or V-Spec) variant of its mighty R35 GT-R. The new figures are fairly close to previous estimates, and they peg the "Victory SPECification" model as being 35kW more powerful and 9Nm gruntier, bringing total figures for the GT-R's VR38DETT engine to 388kW and 597Nm. Peak power is now generated 300rpm lower at 6500rpm, while the peak torque range remains unchanged at...

Ralliart Release Upgraded Parts For CY4A Lancer Ralliart

 Japanese Performance Car News, Dienstag, 29 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

Mitsubishi's in-house tuner Ralliart has released a number of performance and cosmetic upgrades for the just-released Japanese market Galant Fortis Ralliart, or as it's known around the rest of the world, the Lancer Ralliart.The mods on offer are fairly mild, however there's still something for the performance enthusiast as well as those who just want a little J-bling on their Lancer.For starters, there's that very attractive Ralliart chin spoiler (above). Made out of carbon-fibre, the chin...

The Downside of Smoking Crack Cocaine...

 Japanese Performance Car News, Montag, 28 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

...is that eventually someone gets the notion that butchering a GT-R is a good idea. We thought we'd finally laid those rumours of a GT-R-based Infiniti sedan to rest back in March, however Car Top magazine seems to think it's still on the agenda - and looking uglier than ever.That convertible GT-R is just another piece of Photoshopped speculation too, but I find it almost offensive that someone could even consider lopping the top off Nissan's most purposeful performance car to date. It's like...

Motul Nismo R35 Finishes Tokachi Enduro, Didn't Quite Win...

 Japanese Performance Car News, Montag, 28 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

Okay, so I'm about a week late with this news, but I just thought I'd let you all know that the Nismo-fettled R35 GT-R entered in last weekend's Tokachi 24hr finished the race in 21st position out of a field of 28 entrants.Despite setting the third-fastest time during practice, the Motul Nismo R35 suffered from a refueling issue early in the race, forcing the car to remain in the pits for over half an hour until the Nismo crew rectified the problem. An ignominious outcome for the R35? Not...

Subaru Plans Impreza Assault With Prodrive-Tuned WRXs

 Japanese Performance Car News, Freitag, 25 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

Subaru announced the introduction of two new WRX models at the recent British Motor Show, with both of them fettled by Prodrive to produce more power. A third model, based on the WRX STI and boasting 275kW, was shown off in concept form, although word about town is that it'll eventually make it into Subaru showrooms in the near future.The WRX-S is the baby of the bunch, and features a mild 15kW boost in power to 188kW thanks to some ECU and exhaust changes. Torque is up to 390Nm, while the...

Video - LF-A's 373kW Engine In All Its Glory

 Japanese Performance Car News, Donnerstag, 24 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

This short clip taken from car magazine's coverage of the British Motor Show gives us our first close-up look at the Lexus LF-A's 5-litre 373kW V10. It's fairly short, but we do get a glimpse of the naturally-aspirated V10's intake velocity stacks, no-nonsense aluminium block and those tasty tubular exhaust headers. Check out the video after the jump.[Source: car, via The Passionate Pursuit][Video: car]

Honda OSM Unveiled at British Motor Show

 Japanese Performance Car News, Mittwoch, 23 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

Honda's OSM concept has finally had its big unveil at the British Motor Show in London, and after being able to lay eyes on it in the metal it now seems that all hopes for a proper S2000 replacement have evaporated.It's the side profile that gives it away: with such a short wheelbase and a front axle that's placed so perilously close to the passenger compartment, it looks like the OSM is definitely not intended to be the tyre-smokin' RWD roadster we all hoped it would be. Instead, the OSM...

Naked: 2010 Acura NSX finally revealed in the flesh?

 Japanese Performance Car News, Dienstag, 22 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

Is this the new 2010 Acura NSX? The lads over at Auto Express certainly think so, and considering these are virtually the same images as those published by Holiday Auto last week, we're inclined to upgrade their status from "Third Party Rendering" to "Official Press Image".So it looks like this is the real deal then, Honda's latest and greatest incarnation of the NSX nameplate. I've got to say I'm a little underwhelmed with this one, and I'm particularly unenthused by the front headlight...

Not the Lexus your grandpa drove...

 Japanese Performance Car News, Dienstag, 22 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

Given its very obvious sporting credentials, it seems odd that it's taken so long for the Lexus IS F to make it onto the grid of a professional racing series. Sure, there was the IS F Racing Concept that was shown off at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon, but that was merely a demonstration vehicle that never got to prove itself in competition. However, as of yesterday that's all changed, as the IS F finally had its baptism of fire at the SCCA SPEED World Challenge GT Series race at Mid-Ohio on...

Stig Finally Lays Cold, Reptilian Hands On R35 GT-R

 Japanese Performance Car News, Montag, 21 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

Some say that he has an irrational fear of drive-through car washes and that his heart is fitted with sodium-filled exhaust valves. All we know is that he's called the Stig, and he's finally driven the Nissan GT-R around the Top Gear test track...Simply incredible.[Source: BBC Top Gear][Video courtesy of Youtube]

STI Spec C Spotted?

 Japanese Performance Car News, Samstag, 19 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

A mysterious Subaru WRX STI has been spotted putting in some laps around Germany's Nurburgring Nordschliefe, sparking speculation that the car is a development prototype for the upcoming motorsport-ready Spec C.Those white wheels and that reworded rear diffuser are perhaps the biggest clues that something is amiss with this car, and although it may not look radically different to the 'normal' STI, aesthetic add-ons were never the Spec C's forte. The alleged 'prototype' doesn't sport any of the...

Sportback goes Sand-crawlin': Mitsubishi reveal MRX09 Dakar contender

 Japanese Performance Car News, Freitag, 18 Juli 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, jpcnews.blogspot.com

Mitsubishi have finished development of their next-generation cross country rally car, the Lancer Sportback-bodied MRX09, which will be campaigned at next year's Dakar rally.Powered by a 190kW 3-litre turbodiesel V6 and boasting the same rugged 5-speed sequential gearbox and permanent 4WD drivetrain as the current Dakar car, the MRX09 is a Lancer in appearance alone. Even then, with those bulged guards and ginormous tyres the MX09 resembles a monster truck more than it does a hatchback - a...
