Edo Ferrari California

Rumah modif Edo Competition memang kerap hadirkan seseuatu yang menggebrak. Rombakan mereka juga sering diaplikasi ulang pada mobil yang sebenarnya sudah bertipikal balap seperti yang dilakukannya pada Ferrari California Spider. Tak hanya tampilan gaya pada baju luarnya, si hitam ini juga sudah dibekali paketan mantap peningkat tenaga. Hasilnya tak perlu diragukan lagi karena memang sang Italian sudah tampil begitu menawan.

Menilik sisi performa, Edo melakukan paketan kalibrasi ulang pada ECU mobil ini. Walau masih menggunakan mesin standard berkonfigurasi V8 4,297 cc, tenaga yang mampu dihasilkan sudah meningkat dari 460 hp menjadi 500 hp (367 kW). Torsipun tak mau kalah dengan pencapaian sentuh di angka 369 ft-lb (500 Nm). Peningkatan juga terlihat di sisi akselerasi tatkala Edo mengasup perangkat exhaust baru berikut butterfly valves yang bisa distel dinamis serta asupan kastem dari konverter katalitik bertekanan tinggi.

Pencapaiannya sang California Spider sudah sangat fantastis dengan lesatan waktu dari 0 hingga 100 km/h hanya dalam waktu 3,9 detik. Kecepatan maksimum juga sudah tunjukkan hasil terbaik dengan catatan tinggi hebat hingga 315 km/h (196 mph). Menopang maksimalisasi yang ditunjukkan dari jantung pacu, gebrakan juga terlihat dari sisi eksterior sebagai penyelarasnya. Beberapa ubahan kastem sudah terlihat dari kaki-kaki mobil beratap convertible ini.

Lihat saja suspensi balap adjustable yang memang berfungsi sebagai penyangga kendaraan ini. Body sendiri secara keseluruhan sudah jauh lebih ringan. Beberapa kombinasi velg dan ban juga disediakan dari mulai ukuran 20 dan 21 inchi. Dalam balutan warna dominan hitam metalik, seluruh baju luar nampak begitu mantap dan makin menegaskan kesan machonya. Tak ada perubahan ekstrim pada bagian interior, cukup dengan pelapisan material kulit warna coklat.

REVIEWS:
2006 BMW Z4 Coupe
December 01, 2005 - By Georg Kacher

It's been a very long time since BMW came up with a show car that caused any of us to gasp with pleasure, to make us say, "Gotta have it!" X Coupe? Nah. CS1? Not really. xActivity? Thanks, but no thanks. This year at the Frankfurt show, however, almost out of the blue, BMW unwrapped a car that gets ten out of ten on the desirability scale.

Two days after the show closed, we had a date with the new Z4 coupe concept. (Sure, it's a concept-except that it looks virtually identical to the car that will go into production next July.) After spending half a day with the compact crowd-stopper in a derelict factory complex on the outskirts of Munich, we can report that this thing is not only a gorgeous looker, it also plays one of the catchiest street-legal sound tracks. In the huge architectural echo chamber, part-throttle was the stuff goose bumps are made of, and giving it stick almost instantly separated the mortar from the bricks. Our "test track" was long enough to grab the attention of every alpha male in the building but not quite what we needed to write a proper road test, unfortunately.

Unlike the oddly shaped roadster, the coupe has a rare beauty. In fixed-roof form, the Z4's proportions are spot-on rather than ho-hum, its solid stance substantially im-proved by the self-conscious nineteen-inch wheels and tires. The paint, which lacks gloss and shimmer, emphasizes the dazzling contours rather than the controversial cutlines. The unusual matte finish isn't the only thing that catches your eyes-the car's surfaces actually feel as though they were sculpted from a solid piece.

"The response at Frankfurt was overwhelmingly positive," says chief brand de-signer Adrian van Hooydonk, smiling broadly. "Everybody loved the paint, so we will do what we can to get it into production as soon as possible. BMW already uses a similar application for its motorcycles, but automobiles are something else-just think about stone chips or automatic car washes."

Word is that the M division is contemplating a limited choice of matte paint jobs as part of a future trademark look, but we don't know exactly when this option will become available or how much it will cost.

From the nose to the A-pillars, the coupe and the roadster are identical. But the roof and the rear end are completely different. While one model has a rudimentary canvas top, the other displays a stylish version of the classic double-bubble roof. The cutline management is ingenious. Despite its size, weight, and complexity, the liftgate treatment makes you wonder whether the Z4 started off with a metal top and the roadster was developed later. While the neatly integrated rear window has no wiper, the rear hatch eschews any obvious aerodynamic aids. However, the tail does have some faults: three-quarter rear visibility is poor, the loading lip is too high, the trunk is shallow, and the badge-style latch is bound to get dirty and wet in no time at all.

"The Z3 coupe was loved by some and disliked by others," says van Hooydonk. "With the new model, we didn't want to polarize opinion. That's why a wagon-style rear end was never on the agenda. Instead, we opted for a quite sharp-edged fastback, because we felt it would go best with the basic proportions of the Z4."

Strangely, the Z4 coupe that was shown at Frankfurt doesn't address the planned face-lift for the whole range that is only months away. BMW says that "it's all part of a carefully staggered process." This is how that process will unfold. BMW will present the new M roadster-with a more powerful version of the 333-hp, in-line six currently used in the M3-at the Detroit auto show. At Geneva in 2006, the company will present the M coupe, the face-lifted Z4 roadster, and the accordingly modified Z4 coupe. The key changes are revised bumpers that are more elegant for the mainstream models and more aggressive for the M derivatives, restyled rear lights, and an upgraded interior.

In more ways than one, the show car leads the way for the production vehicle. The interior materials in particular are stunning. Everything you touch feels expensive and very well made: soft nubuck leather instead of coarse plastic, anodized and lacquered aluminum instead of brushed steel, and neatly detailed knobs, switches, and buttons rather than look-alike items from the bottom of the parts bin. Has BMW finally remembered the importance of high-quality interiors-or will this lovely cabin disappear in the transition from one-off to mass-made?

"Some of these things are quite expensive," van Hooydonk admits. "But others are surprisingly affordable. Things like the two-tone cabin treatment are absolutely cost neutral. Truly exclusive options like full-leather dashboard trim or a bespoke color scheme could be offered through the Individual division, however, which is in charge of made-to-measure solutions." Our only quibble with this stunningly beautiful driver's environment is the instrumentation, which features tiny X3 gauges that sit in deep holes, making them even harder to read.

For anyone who's tall, however, the packaging is on the bonsai side of ridiculous. The roadster is a tight fit to start with, but the coupe makes this six-foot, seven-inch-tall driver feel like a woodpecker trying to occupy a knothole sized for a nuthatch. The main culprit is the bulky rear fire wall that acts both as reinforcement and as home for the flexible cargo cover. Wedged between fuel tank and floorpan, this barrier seriously limits seat travel and recline angle. The steeply raked roof doesn't help much, either, and the bottom half of the instrument panel curves down in such a way that you need an extra joint between knee and ankle. Even the 95th-percentile van Hooydonk needs a shoehorn to get in and out. His explanation: "The coupe is a handmade prototype built for display purposes and by no means the definitive vehicle." We sincerely hope the production engineers agree.

At this point, no one is prepared to talk about the nitty-gritty of weight, drag coefficients, or price. Van Hooydonk elaborates: "The Z4 coupe is kind of a back-to-the-roots car. What looks like metal actually is metal, not coated plastic. What looks like leather and has seams to hold it in place is real leather, not fake. This is the real thing, in appearance and driving pleasure."

We are not worried about the way the production car will drive, because it should be stiffer than the regular Z4, which already handles sweetly enough. The show car is equipped with the latest iteration of the magical 3.0-liter in-line six that makes 261 hp and 232 lb-ft of torque. Governed at 155 mph, the glacier silver showpiece can reportedly accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 5.7 seconds. The M coupe, which should get a 370-hp engine, will have Porsche 911 speed. If the regular Z4 coupe is enough to get our mouths watering, then the M coupe has us outright salivating

2008 BMW M1 Concept

2008 Bmw M1 Concept
To mark the 30th anniversary of the BMW M1 super sports car, BMW Group Design is presenting a homage to this legendary model as part of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2008. The BMW M1 designed by Giorgio Giugiaro was a car of superlatives and a highly emotive vehicle that was uncompromisingly primed for the race track. Spawning this development was the BMW Turbo by Paul Bracq, a revolutionary concept car which, in addition to its groundbreaking functional design, also boasted a raft of technical innovations. It is from these two unique vehicles that the BMW M1 Homage takes its cue - a design study that pays tribute to its forerunner models and an embodiment of the competence, creativity and potential of the BMW Group Design team.

"For BMW, heritage is always also a living heritage. Drawing inspiration from your own past and thereby reinventing yourself - that is exactly what the BMW M1 Homage demonstrates in impressive style." Dr Klaus Draeger, BMW Group Board Member, Development

A particular forte of BMW Group Design is to draw on its own powerful history and actively feed this into the design of the future. The BMW M1 Homage is a design study in the tradition of a BMW Turbo that represents a contemporary take on the BMW M1 and the mid-engine concept. This tribute exhibits an emotional design that showcases technology and integrates it into the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

The Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este provides the perfect backdrop for the BMW M1 Homage. Here automotive beauties from the past meet the concept cars and design studies of the future. It is in this dynamic field of tension between past and present that the BMW Group Design team affords insights into its own perspective on a historically inspired automotive future.

Homage to the BMW M1
"For a company as for a product, it is important to be aware of one's roots. In the spirit of Giugiaro and Bracq, the BMW M1 Homage unites the BMW values of design and technology in a highly emotional and exciting interpretation." Christopher E. Bangle, Director Design BMW Group

The BMW M1 was an utterly uncompromising super sports car oozing passion; its forerunner, the BMW Turbo by Paul Bracq, displayed innovative technical solutions that found their expression in emotional design. It is precisely this blend - of technology and design, rationality and passion - that the BMW M1 Homage embodies. It presents an exciting and authentic interpretation of the BMW M1 and the mid-engine concept from a present-day perspective, and the legacy of the BMW M1 Homage is obvious at first glance. Unquestioningly it takes up the graphic play of the hallmark BMW M1 colours black and orange and interprets them anew. The Liquid Orange paintwork exclusively developed for the BMW M1 Homage cites the classic BMW M1 colour, yet surprises with its powerfully iridescent play of colour and brilliant depth. It shapes the extrovert surface language and strikingly highlights the eloquent interplay of convex and concave surfaces.

Mention the BMW M1, and another feature that immediately springs to mind is the characteristic twin logo at the rear, on the right and left edge above the tail lights. For BMW, this particular arrangement of its emblems has always signalled a mid-engined model. In the development stage of the BMW M1 this dual emblem was the first styling element to be approved even before the initial sketches were drawn. Likewise, it was confirmed from the outset that the BMW M1 Homage would feature the same twin badges. Other specific styling cues taken from the BMW M1 are the air vents in the bonnet and the louvres on the rear windscreen, as well as the black cutline dividing the roofline from the rear section of the body. Overall, the exterior dimensions of the BMW M1 Homage are in keeping with those of the BMW M1; only the extended wheelbase indicates a larger passenger cell.

Emotional design at the flashpoint between tradition and modernism
The BMW M1 Homage takes long familiar elements from the BMW Design repertoire, reinterprets them and couches them in a new context. Its design brings together past and present, expanding the observer's perception through new design solutions that find their expression in typical BMW style. If the contrasting colours were a dominant design theme for the BMW M1, this contrast is perpetuated in the BMW M1 Homage through its surface styling. Familiar elements, such as the trademark proportions, are combined with new and exciting lines, surfaces and details to create an up-to-date interpretation of the BMW M1, which remains to this day an extraordinary car.

Shunning the strong wedge shape of other mid-engine cars, the BMW M1 Homage consciously opts for BMW's characteristic proportions. A relatively long engine compartment, a clearly defined transition into the A-pillar and a stretched window line featuring the "Hofmeister" kink instantly give it away as a bona fide BMW. The horizontal flow of lines lowers the car's visual centre of gravity and lends it an air of sovereignty.

Though the BMW M1 already boasted extremely harmonious and sporty proportions, its surface design was not yet an explicit styling issue and was dominated by high-contrast graphic themes. Today, however, next to the car's proportions, it is primarily the unusual surface styling that determines the strong recognition value of a BMW model. For some years now, all BMW vehicles have exhibited a striking and unique design language. The sculpting of the surfaces demands substantial experience and craftsmanship at the highest level. Only through the combination of craft skills, state-of-the-art technology and a sure sense of the personality of each BMW can designers and modellers achieve the overall sculptural effect that lends a BMW its unique character. The BMW M1 Homage systematically melds the proportions and graphic themes of the BMW M1 with the surface language of the new BMW look - a combination that imbues the vehicle with an exciting, sporty and authentic emotionality.

The front-end styling of the BMW M1 Homage adopts many of the graphic design themes of the BMW M1: the contrast between the black, recessed surfaces and the car colour, the small, squat kidney grille and the "invisible" headlamps. And yet the front of the BMW M1 Homage is an absolute novelty for BMW. Each element assumes a function: the hallmark twin kidney, for example, is not only a distinguishing feature of the BMW brand but combines aerodynamic, cooling-air routing and safety solutions. The design of the headlamps, meanwhile, is a new iteration of the retractable headlights of the BMW M1. Like the lamps on the historic model, those on the BMW M1 Homage are only visible when switched on. When not in use they are discreetly integrated into the front-end design and "disappear" into the recessed black cutline, almost like pop-up headlights.

Along the side of the car all the lines, surfaces and details lead the eye from the front end along the stretched engine compartment and clearly defined A-pillars before converging at the centre of the vehicle. Two expressive lines are drawn from the front along the flanks of the vehicle towards the engine compartment area. The flow of lines begins in a straight, disciplined fashion at the front end, lowering the optical centre of gravity of the BMW M1 Homage and highlighting its low-slung stance. From the middle of the car, however, the lines break up. The power of the design is focused precisely where the power of the vehicle also lies - at the engine. Strong, sensuous sweeping lines accentuate the car's mid-engine concept, the design emphasising the mechanics behind it, the engineering skills and the engine expertise of the BMW Group.
The roofline of the BMW M1 Homage is flatly tapered, extending into and around the rear. In so doing it draws a continuous line and forms a link between the two sides of the car. It is on this line, above the tail lights, that the hallmark twin BMW logo can also be found.

"Engineering is beautiful - let's show it!"
The overall design is driven by functionality and each detail has its purpose. Aspects such as aerodynamics, cooling-air routing and safety lend the BMW M1 Homage technical substance and make it a genuine BMW. A telling symbol of this is the kidney grille design of the BMW M1 Homage, fulfilling as it does several functions at the same time. The twin kidney isn't just a signature BMW feature, it is also part of the car's honed aerodynamics: it guides the air to the engine cooling as well as constituting the front section of a crash box, similar to the monocoque chassis of a Formula One race car.

Inspired by aircraft design, the car as a whole also boasts sophisticated air ducting through the body. For example, the cooling-air routing for the engine is positioned below the roofline, in the black recessed cutline along the side of the vehicle behind the window graphic. Small flaps and openings guide the air stream into the engine compartment to ensure an adequate supply of cooling air.

Vision and inspiration
"The BMW M1 Homage clearly manifests the creativity and potential of the BMW Design team. A project such as this is a valuable source of inspiration for our day-to-day work." Adrian van Hooydonk, Director Design BMW Automobiles

The BMW M1 Homage holds great significance for the BMW Group Design team, its genesis epitomising both a living tradition and an innovative future. This vehicle is designed as a source of inspiration; it sets out to challenge us to question and rethink what we see around us. The BMW M1 Homage pays eloquent tribute to the BMW Turbo and the BMW M1, which in their design were well ahead of their time. Originally slated as "merely" a design study or small series, their influence remains very palpable today - 30 years on.
