Porsche GT3

Posted by | Porsche Club UAE, Tuning and Performance | No Comments

New Porsche GT3 is the best Porsche yet!

The new Porsche GT3 is here and it is probably the best Porsche yet. And that’s saying a lot.

porsche gt3

The last GT3 was quite a car. While not the best looking Porsche, it was the best driving one. It was at home on the track or through the twists. This one is the same, but better.

The new GT3 has 475 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. It goes 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 195 mph (313 kph).

It’s slightly lighter and longer than the last generation. And just like the last generation, it enjoys the open road much more than city traffic.

And to that, there is only one transmission: a seven speed automatic. Porsche claims a human can’t keep up with the high revving engine. This coupled with the electronic and four wheel steering makes this a truly new GT3.

No matter how you feel about the changes, this is sure to be a dream to drive.

Lamborghini Aventador

Posted by | Tuning and Performance | No Comments

Is the Lamborghini Aventador the poor man’s Lamborghini?!

The Lamborghini Aventador. Lamborghini’s replacement for the Murcielago. Another V12 beast from the raging bull. Batman’s car! Has it become too commonplace? Is it now the poor man’s Lamborghini?

The Sesto Elemento is Lamborghini’s track day car. Only 20 will be made. It’s only a v10 (only?!) but it weighs less than 1000 kgs because of it’s liberal use of carbon fibre. Hence the name, Sesto Elemento, meaning sixth element. (The sixth elemet is carbon)

And now this: the Veneno. Only 3 will be made. It is a street legal racer based on the Lamborghini Aventador.

We’re not sure what’s going on with the designers at Lamborghini, but keep it up!

Brembo has participated in NASCAR (Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Truck classes) races since 1993, when it first equipped the Melling Ford driven by PJ Jones at Watkins Glen with a set of Brembo high-performance brakes. Brembo’s first victory came in October 1996 at Phoenix, where Bobby Hamilton was first to pass the chequered flag at the wheel of the # 43 Petty Enterprise Plymouth. Over the years, many of the most important NASCAR drivers have used Brembo brakes to win numerous championships in each of the NASCAR series.

I’ll take a GTI, or two…

The GTI is a classic. It’s been around for as long as some of us and it’s still the king of the hot hatch. GTI + Brembo = awesome performance in a tight little package. What’s not to like?

Anyone fancy a drink? I’ll have a martini: shaken, not stirred. With a side of Brembo please.

Once again the race track season from Porsche Club UAE kicked off at Yas Marina Circuit with Brembo HP brakes at their Porsche Driving Experience XLII Event on 20th September 2013.

This event is a specialty of the Porsche Club UAE and has been developed as training for new Porsche owners, as well as the most experienced drivers of the Club. According to that the drivers will be split into separate groups for Novice and Intermediates.

This new season marks the second anniversary for ORZ Performance as the proud sponsor of Porsche Club UAE. This partnership was chosen by the Porsche Club UAE director and his committee as ORZ Performance is the official distributor for Brembo HP, High Performance, brakes in the Middle East. Brembo itself is the world leader in brake kits. The partnership between Porsche and Brembo originated back in the 1980’s with their Mobil 1 Supercup cars.

We were ecstatic to receive a statement from Mr. Al Azhari, the director of Porsche Club UAE and winner of countless races in the Middle East. “I am pleased to inform you the braking performance of the 911 GT2 on Circuit in our UAE heat has never been as good as now since upgrading to the Brembo GT kit.”

An opinion, which by now, is shared by more members of the Porsche Club UAE.

ORZ Performance used the anniversary to give the members special attention with providing promo girls to the ORZ crew doing the check up on the brakes. The information to the driver at their arrival at Yas Marina was appreciated as many did not know of the benefits of a larger brake kit.
