The new Mustang for 2015 was just revealed by Ford. After recently celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic Mustang, Ford gave us the newest one.
It’s still a big and bulky car, but now a little curvier. It helps hide that size, and reminds us a little of the classic fastback Mustang.
This new mustang will come with 3 engines: V8 420bhp, V6 305bhp, and a turbo charged 4 cylinder. Yes, you read that correctly. Unfortunately, Ford has followed the lead of other major brands, and is slowly moving towards smaller turbo charged fuel efficient engines. However, the 4 cylinder does pack 300bhp.
Thankfully, Ford hasn’t followed the others and replaced the transmission. We still get a proper manual transmission.
We are going to have to wait until 2015 until we get a chance to get up close and personal with Ford’s newest Mustang. It’s a date!
New Rolls Royce planned for 2016
A new Rolls Royce convertible has been confirmed by the company for 2016. The new convertible will most likely be based on the Wraith Coupe, although the company wouldn’t confirm this speculation.
The recent success of the convertible Ghost has spurned Rolls Royce on to produce another droptop vehicle. The Wraith is a 2 door fastback style coupe. Its silhouette is sleek and fast, while still exuding all the we have come to expect from Rolls Royce. This new Rolls Royce aims to take that shape, and modify it by going topless. ORZ Performance has always been a fan of taking a beautiful shape, and chopping the roof.
Lamborghini Huracan: Gallardo’s replacement is here!
Lamborghini Huracan, the company’s long overdue replacement for the much heralded Gallardo, is finally here! And we here at ORZ Performance are head over heels in love. The Gallardo has been with us for a while. It debuted as a 2004 model. After 10 years atop the entry level super car field, it’s time to say goodbye. Fear not fellow automotive aficionados, the replacement is a real show stopper.
As you can see, Lamborghini has continued the angular sleek styling from the Gallardo. The chassis is all new. It is both lighter and stiffer than the Gallardo’s, according to Lamborghini. The engine is basically the same, but has been tweaked to produce 602bhp. The transmission is a twin clutch seven speed paddle shift. It will also be fitted standard with carbon ceramic brakes.
There really is very little more exciting in this world than a new Lamborghini. And it appears it is going to be stiff competition for the reigning champ: the Ferrari 458. We look forward to epic battles for years to come.

Porsche Track Day Dubai
Porsche Track day at Yas Marina Circuit went off without a hitch. Another successful event put on by our partners Porsche Club UAE and BREMBO. We here at ORZ Performance like to make sure everyone is safe while they’re having fun, so we inspected everyone’s brakes before they got on the F1 track. What’s the point of speeding down the straight if you can’t brake to take the next corner?

GT3 Cup race winner is…
Last weekend’s GT3 Cup race in Dubai was exciting and congratulations go to the winner, Zaid Ashkanani.
Kuwait’s Zaid Ashkanani secured his first race win in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East with victory in Race 2 of Round Two at the Dubai Autodrome in what was the closest contest of the series’ fifth season so far.
Starting from pole on the 16-car grid, Ashkanani produced a scintillating performance that defied his age to lead from the start, despite immense pressure from reigning champion Clemens Schmid. Al Nabooda Racing’s Schmid almost snatched victory on the final lap but the Kuwaiti kept his cool to cross the line first with Saudi Falcons Abdulaziz Al Faisal coming in third.

Porsche Club UAE Events
Posted by ORZ Performance | Courses and Trips, Events, Porsche Club UAE | No CommentsPorsche Club UAE Events: Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East at Dubai Autodrome
One of our favourite Porsche Club UAE Events is to the 5.39km track at the Dubai Autodrome which is one of the most modern in the world. It is also one of the most challenging, as it has a combination of high-speed straights and technical corners. The venue is part of the Union Properties Motorcity.
The circuit, which contains six different configurations, is designed to allow three circuits to operate simultaneously, safely, and independently from each other. The result presents circuit users with unparalleled options.
In recent years, Dubai Autodrome has deliberately positioned itself as the home of UAE national motorsport. The goal is to develop and promote UAE motor racing at a national level by hosting the main portion of the UAE National Championship races at the circuit. Through the DAMC the venue hosts the Total UAE GT Championship, UAE Sportscar Championship, the Total UAE Touring Car Championship, and the UAE Sportbikes Championship.
The highlight of the local motorsport calendar has been the Dubai Motorsport Festival which takes on a distinctly local flavour with the catch phrase being: a celebration of UAE motorsport.
Dubai Autodrome started to hold international motorsport events shortly after the circuit was complete in 2004. Since then a number of illustrious events has taken place at the venue including rounds of the: FIA GT Championship, World Touring Car Championship, A1GP, World Series by Renault, Dunlop 24 Hours Endurance Series, and the Grand Racing weekend featuring Speedcar Series and GP2 Asia Series.
Some of the world’s most famous drivers have driven competitively or visited the circuit including the likes of Michael Schumacher, Jacques Villeneuve, Kimi Raikkonen, Johnny Herbert and Jean Alesi to name just a few.
The Dunlop 24 Hour of Dubai endurance race has become a mainstay of the international motorsport calendar and is the first major road racing event on the global calendar of any given year. Hosted at Dubai Autodrome, the round attracts a huge entry of teams and drivers from all corners of the world including a number of teams and drivers from the UAE.
