Ferrari 458 Topless!
Posted by ORZ Performance | Special Offers, Tuning and Performance, Vehicles for Sale | No CommentsFerrari 458 Speciale A
The Ferrari 458 has gone topless! And if you ask us, it’s about time. The Ferrari 458 set the world on fire 5 years ago when it took a big leap forward for mid engined super cars. It set new standard of performance and style.
As you can see, none of that style was lost with this special edition. In fact, it might have actually gotten prettier. Sporting a 598bhp V8, hauling it to 60mph in 3 seconds flat. Only 499 will be made, and they’ll probably go to only those Ferrari chooses.
This might be the final act for both the Ferrari 458, and its V8 engine, as the replacement is rumoured to have a turbocharged V6. If that’s true, and this is the last time we’ll get to see this car; what a way to go out!
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.
Downforce is our friend
Downforce is a downwards thrust created by the aerodynamic characteristics of a car. The purpose of downforce is to allow a car to travel faster through a corner by increasing the vertical force on the tires, thus creating more grip.
The same principle that allows an airplane to rise off the ground by creating lift from its wings is used in reverse to apply force that presses the race car against the surface of the track. This effect is referred to as “aerodynamic grip” and is distinguished from “mechanical grip,” which is a function of the car mass repartition, tires, and suspension. The creation of downforce by passive devices almost always can only be achieved at the cost of increased aerodynamic drag (or friction), and the optimum setup is almost always a compromise between the two.

Porsche UAE Club Event @ Yas Marina Circuit
Porsche UAE Club had its most recent event at the state-of-the-art Yas Marina F1 Circuit. Everyone was out and looking good in those beautiful examples of Porsche engineering and style.
The cars are lined up and ready to go. A motley crew of drivers and their performance Porsches chomping at the bit to tackle Yas Marina.
A little time in the pit garage for some last minute instructions and safety gear. Look at those lovely white helmets. Class and performance all rolled up into to one.
And after you speed down the straight looking for the lap record, you’ll need some serious brakes to help you hit the apex of that first turn. It’s hard to challenge the leaders when you’re in the wall.
Yas Marina showed the Porsche UAE Club an excellent time once again. Special thanks to all those who made this possible. And those Brembo brakes really did shine brightly under those bright lights.

Dodge Challenger Meets Brembo

Dodge Challenger meets the Brembo GT kit. At ORZ Performance, we love to mate a great car with even better modifications and accessories. The straight line performance of a classic muscle car, and the industry leading braking systems Brembo offers.
Here we have the bare bones of the car. It’s just begging to have that beautiful Brembo GT kit installed.

Now this Dodge Challenger is ready for some serious performance.

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.
