  • Removable doors – easily removable pins in the exposed hinges allow the doors to be removed quickly – an appreciated feature of many serious off-roaders
  • Removable fender flares – attached with quarter-turn quick-release fasteners, the composite fender flares can be quickly removed for additional trail/rock clearance, or if the flare is damaged during off-road driving

Ferrari FF

 Ferrari.com, has revealed the first photographs of the new Ferrari FF, the company's most powerful, versatile four-seater ever, as well as its first ever four-wheel drive car.
The FF - an acronym for Ferrari Four (four seats and four-wheel drive) - ushers in an entirely new GT sports car concept. A decisive break with the past, the new car represents not so much an evolution as a true revolution.
This new V12 melds to an unprecedented level an extremely sporty, high-performance character with incredible versatility, superb comfort and sophisticated elegance, guaranteeing both driver and passengers an absolutely unique driving experience.
Designed by Pininfarina, the shape and proportions perfectly interpret the Ferrari FF's harmonious blend of sporting DNA and extraordinary usability.
The FF features the company's first ever four-wheel drive system. Ferrari's exclusive, patented 4RM (four-wheel drive) weighs 50 per cent less than a conventional four-wheel drive system, maintaining perfect weight distribution (53 per cent over the rear axle). Completely integrated with the car's electronic dynamic control systems, the four-wheel drive technology delivers record levels of performance on all terrains and in all conditions via continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution to all four wheels. The Ferrari FF is also equipped with the latest magnetorheological damping system (SCM3), as well as the most recent development in carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo.


Exceptional performance levels come courtesy of the new 6,262 cc direct injection engine which develops 660 CV at 8,000 rpm. In tandem with its transaxle dual-clutch F1 gearbox, stunning acceleration figures (0-100 km/h in 3.7 sec.) are guaranteed. The new model's class-leading weight-to-power ratio of 2.7 kg/CV, along with its ideal weight distribution, ensures exceptionally responsive handling. The result is that owners will be able to enjoy the FF's prowess over a wide range of uses: city driving, on low grip or snow-covered surfaces and on the track. Performance aside, Maranello's latest model also offers standards of passenger space, comfort, in-car spec and equipment previously unheard of in such a high-performance car. It can comfortably accommodate four people and their luggage, thanks to the best cabin space and boot capacity (450 litres extendable to 800) figures in its category, including four-door cars.
A vast array of personalisation options and accessories has been developed for the Ferrari FF. These include six model-specific exterior colours and sumptuous interior trim incorporating specially selected and treated aniline leather.
The Ferrari FF, which will make its official debut in occasion of the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, is presented with the first three photos from a dedicated shoot by Giovanni Gastel

MARUSSIA CARS


Marussia Motors is a Russian sports car manufacturer. Their cars are notable for being the first sports cars to be made in Russia.As well as the state-of-the-art sports cars of Russian manufacture - Marussia - embodying ideas of racing sports in production vehicles for public roads.
Marussia Motors is the first Russian company, which has started a series production of premium class sports cars. It is the first Russian company challenged the best foreign vehicles. Besides, it is the first Russian automobile company, which has become Formula One official partner.
Marussia vehicles are innovation and technologies, love to each detail and perfection in material selection. Therefore, it is not surprising that each Marussia sports car personifies a unification of power, dynamics and flash design.

MARUSSIA B2

It is hard to imagine a more emotional and futuristic GT-class coupe, than the Marussia В2. Its expressive and challenging nature could be seen at first sight. Only having sat behind the wheel of this vehicle you will be able to estimate and experience the potential and the power of its performance characteristics in full.

 The powerhouse of the thoroughbred racing potential of the aggressive Marussia В2 is the unique Marussia-Cosworth 2,8 litres and 420 h.p. engine. It is also a source of true comfort while driving along the public roads.

 Every detail and each shape bending of the coupe are just the muscles, and everyone of them works for speed and power. Therefore, you will not find any iota of the Marussia В2 excess weight; and when horsepower into kilograms converted, its power becomes really a cosmic one.

 The dynamics and power of the Marussia В2 inspires respect, and the futuristic and flash design draws a sight by the singularity. One can hardly find any other coupe capable to brag of a menacing letter "M" in the silhouette.
