Porsche always is a dream for a man.
today we will see some news about Porsche GT3 Cup S, which can be used in FIA GT3 events.
also as i know, it cost of entry is steep — €250,000 plus VAT — but no one ever said racing was for the faint-of-heart (or wallet)

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, adds another member of
the 911 family to its range of products. The new GT3 Cup S, based on the
road-going GT3 RS sportscar, is created exclusively for racing purposes.
The Weissach-developed and built vehicle will race in international
champion-ships which run in accordance with FIA GT3 regulations.

To a large extent, the 3.6-litre boxer engine is identical to the power
unit used in the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup and the international Carrera Cup
championships. Power output has increased by 20 horsepower to now 440 hp
(324 kW) at 8,000 rpm. Maximum torque is up by ten Nm to 430 at 7,250 revs
per minute. The power increase results from optimised engine electronics
and a modified exhaust system.

In contrast to the GT3 Cup, the body of the Cup S is not based on the
road-going GT3 but on the GT3 RS. In the wider wheel arches, considerably
larger wheels can now be mounted. At the front, the rims measure 10.5
inches in width with 12 inch wheels fitted at the rear. The front section
and flares are significantly different to the GT3 Cup components. An
adjustable front-splitter generates more downforce at the front axle. The
rear-wing is wider and positioned higher than the Cup version and provides
more downforce at the rear axle.

Several suspension components for the GT3 Cup S have been taken from the
more powerful GT3 RSR which races in the GT2 class at international
long-distance championships. The braking system of the GT3 Cup S was
adjusted to the increased power compared to the GT3 Cup. At the rear the
diameter of the brake discs has grown by five millimetres to now measure
355mm.

The new GT3 Cup S costs 250,000 Euro plus national VAT and is scheduled for
delivery to customer teams from April. Additionally, Porsche offers a kit
to upgrade the 2007 Cup models to the GT3 Cup S standard.

AUBURN HILLS, MI., February 6, 2008 – Audi of America Inc. today announced the debut of the 2008 A4 Special Edition at the Chicago Auto Show. The new configuration was created for customers wanting a thoroughly modern German luxury sport sedan with more exterior appeal and attractive packaging. This adds to the popular S line exterior bumpers and grille introduced as standard features on the A4 for the 2008 model year, which include a sportier front bumper and grille design, lower side door flares, and integrated rear trunk lid spoiler.

Designed for A4 sedan and Avant models equipped with the 2.0 TFSI engine, exterior differentiation for the Special Edition includes a new standard 17-inch wheel that features a 9 Y-spoke design pattern. Standard interior features for quattro-equipped models include leather-trimmed heated front seats and metallic paint. As a result, models equipped with FrontTrak attain a $405 improved value in new standard equipment, while those with quattro permanent all-wheel drive attain a $1,155 value improvement.

All A4 Special Edition models include a one-year subscription to SIRIUS Satellite Radio, complete with commercial-free music plus sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic, weather and data. Similarly, customers can still choose the full S line and Titanium packages as optional sport upgrades, as well as a full range of individual options. Some of these sophistications include DVD-based Audi Navigation system, Bluetooth hands-free preparation, iPod adaptor, and wood beltline trim.

The A4 is also one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its luxury segment. The cutting-edge 2.0 TFSI direct injection engine made the prestigious Ward’s 10 Best Engines list for the third consecutive year in 2008, which recognized Audi’s expertise with efficient performance and advanced technology.

Safety has also been a top priority for the current model, and the A4 was the first passenger vehicle in its luxury segment to offer brake disc wiping as standard equipment in early 2005. This feature, combined with one of the most advanced and proactive stability control systems ESP 8.0., reduces the chances of inhibited braking performance during wet or inclement weather.

The A4 was one of three Audi models to receive the “Top Safety Pick” designation for 2008 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), for which it also won in 2007. Audi has the highest number of IIHS “Top Safety Pick” designations within its entire model line in comparison to luxury competitors BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. This category recognizes excellence in top frontal, side, and rear crash performance and the availability of ESP (Electronic Stability Program).

“The Audi A4 has been a star performer for many years as an exciting sport luxury product offering in addition to its outstanding residual value,” said Johan de Nysschen, Executive Vice President, Audi of America. “Much attention has been paid to constant enhancements to proactively meet and exceed the most particular customer wishes and tastes.”

The A4 Special Edition is expected to be available at authorized U.S. Audi dealer partners by mid March 2008 in both sedan and Avant body styles. For more information about previewing the A4 special edition at the Chicago Auto Show, please visit chicagoautoshow.com.

“” I HAVE TESTED MOST OFF THE MAPS MYSELF ON A TOMTOM GO 700 AND ON A TOMTOM ONE V.3 AND THEY ALL WORK “”

see the following link for more info on how to do it–>>

Download “Easyusetools_for кεygεnand Mapcheck” from:
http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showpost.php?p=1704634&postcount=330

– Includes tt7_кεygεn.exe
– Includes tt7_mapcheck.exe
– Includes Meta.txt (used to Cㄒαcк v7* maps?)

– May need to get the latest Meta.txt as this is being constantly updated

http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?t=211827

here is an example of how to do it:

the new folder there should be 2 files: Meta, and кεygεn7.
Create a new folder on the computer then put into it Meta and кεygεn7.
Then put your needed map into the same folder. You will have 3 files: Meta, кεygεn7 and your map.
Then

Start -> run -> cmd -> OK
”cd C:\кεygεn” click ”Enter”

For example for map Western_Europe_1GB :

tt7_кεygεn.exe Western_Europe_1GB Your ID and click ”Enter”. “ОК”
If you saw OK and pressed OK then in the folder with map your needed file has already changed.
After that take the map and put into your Tom Tom.
Activation possible only for map inside Meta file (for now).
Attention:1. Patch for ttsystem must be stricly done.
2. Map must be have (meta.dct) file

o save a certain someone reposting this off another forum here’s a step by step:

****WARNING**** - Make sure you have got a full working back up copy - or use a new memory card !!!!!

Create new folder on C drive - name it кεygεn. Ok
Add the two files - Meta.txt, tt7_кεygεn.exe and your v7 map folder,
in this example I’ll use the United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland v705.1480 map

c:\кεygεn\Meta.txt (file)
c:\кεygεn\tt7_кεygεn.exe (file)
c:\кεygεn\United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland (folder)

Start your Command Prompt :
Start -> run -> cmd -> OK

Type in :
cd C:\кεygεnclick ”Enter”

example Type in :
tt7_кεygεn.exe United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland ABCDE12345 (Replace this with YOUR DeviceID)

Press ENTER
You should then see OK - if not then you have got something wrong.

Important: To creat a working .DCT Write your DeviceID without Space in the middle and use CAPS.

Unzip the file named ‘Patch’ to a folder on your PC

Copy your file named ‘ttsystem’ from your Tomtom Memory Card in this folder with all the Patch files.
Run the ‘RunMe.bat’ (Double click on it), wait, you have now a ttsystem and a ttsystem.old, copy the file named ‘ttsystem’
back to your Memory Card. Put memory card back into your Tomtom, it will take a few minutes
to boot up, then you should now be able to see the new V7 map.
