2010 Skoda Superb Combi

Following the successful launch of the five-door Skoda Superb sedan, Skoda premieres the long-awaited Skoda Superb Combi at the 2009 IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt. The Czech carmaker is keen for this medium-class car, delivering exceptional space and comfort, to re-define benchmarks in the segment. The unique design with the typical Skoda “face”, the expressive rear section and the dynamic silhouette help the new Skoda Superb Combi stand out clearly from market competitors.

2010 Skoda Superb Combi

In a history of automobile production stretching back over more than a hundred years, Skoda Auto has manufactured numerous “combined cars” (hence the name “Combi”) in its hometown of Mladá Boleslav.

The new Skoda Superb Combi is 4,838 mm long, 1,817 mm wide, and 1,481 mm high. Including the roof rails, delivered as standard and available either anodized or black, the car’s height rises to 1,510 mm. The outstanding loading capacity is bigger than anything seen yet in the segment: the luggage compartment holds 633 litres, expanding to a cavernous 1,865 litres when the rear seats are folded down. The width of the tailgate is large enough to accommodate bulky items. The low loading sill, a mere 600 mm above the ground, makes handling baggage easy.

The Skoda Superb Combi, like the Superb sedan, can be fitted with HHC (Hill Hold Control). The ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) also has TSA (Trailer Stability Assist) for use with factory-fitted towing equipment. This feature is sure to come in handy, as the new Skoda Superb Combi’s 2.0 TDI CR DPF/125 kW 4×4 and 3.6 FSI V6/191 kW 4×4 engines are capable of towing trailers with a gross weight of up to 2,000 kilograms. Of course, that is not the only reason to opt for four-wheel drive with the fourth-generation Haldex multi-disc clutch. This system provides a variable torque split to achieve the best possible traction and excellent stability on any surface.

The Skoda Superb Combi’s range of engines is largely the same as that for the Skoda Superb sedan. Initially, there will be a choice of three petrol and two diesel engines, all with direct fuel injection and low consumption and emissions.

The car on a podium near a casino — what is it?

All activity of a casino submits to standard laws of business. Thus the integral condition of successful long-term functioning of a casino is high degree of integration of technologies of management.

The Purpose №1 — the Hazardous Client

First of all, it's a complex of the actions undertaken by a casino for deduction and expansion of the client base at the expense of formation and maintenance of high level of satisfaction of the players. Is obvious, that for successful development in the conditions of competitive struggle each casino should introduce effective business strategy in this area.

The set of functions of modern control systems of a casino is rather extensive. Internal processes of work of a casino personify the progressive ideas of electronic control by business, simultaneously combining universality, functionality, reliability and safety, both for players, as and for the casino.

Live Marketing of the Car Dealers

The prize-winning car is, perhaps, the most powerful stimulus for players. The lucky car, luxury prestigious model, sparkling in all magnificence on a podium near a casino, is capable to entice not only skilled hunters behind good luck, but also many usual visitors who often for the first time have appeared in a gambling institution.

Usual practice is when the car is given by the automobile dealer on the conditions defined for a casino. Often, for the right to expose the car on a podium near a casino, the automobile dealer should pay considerable money, to 10% from car cost.

Thus, the dealer, giving the car as a prize, saves on advertising the solid budget sometimes equivalent to car cost. For a casino it no more than essential possibility to involve new clients. The automobile lottery in each casino is carried out by the internal rules, it's a lottery in which all players having lottery tickets take part. Thus the system of distribution of tickets is interesting enough and aimed first of all at encouragement of "valuable" players.

Lottery tickets can hand over as a consolation for loss, or as an additional prize for a prize. Also in large and popular casinos similar tickets can simply hand over to new happy clients.

2010 Maybach Zeppelin A Luxury Car Review

2010 Maybach Zeppelin

Mercedes is bringing the 2010 Maybach Zeppelin to Geneva Motor Show in March. Maybach first used the Zeppelin name in the 1930s, when dirigible’s name symbolized modern luxury. Now the name’s resurrection will be used to get more in touch with old-world elegance. From the outside, the luxury brand’s new top-of-the-range model can be recognised by its two-tone special paint finish - a mix of “Rocky Mountains” light brown and “Taiga” black, but customers can choose whatever they want. Other features include unique 20-inch wheels, special “California” beige leather upholstery, and a set of silver champagne flutes.

The streamlined exterior mirrors, which produce even less wind noise, are new to Maybach. They have a more angular design and are separated from the door frame by a slender arm, giving them a more expressive look. They also feature an enlarged mirror surface together with integral indicators in the shape of a horizontal “V” for even greater perceptual safety.

The curving “ZEPPELIN” lettering that appears below the distinctive double “M” emblem on the radiator grille and on the boot lid instantly gives away the elite status of the new Maybach Zeppelin.

The 6.0-liter biturbo V12 has also been upgraded 28 hp to now make 640 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque. All this extra luxury does of course come at a price: €406,000 for the Maybach 57 Zeppelin and €473,200 for the Maybach 62 Zeppelin. At today’s rates, that’s about $524,000 and $610,000 respectively. While the price alone will ensure exclusivity, Mercedes says the Zeppelin edition will be limited to 100 units.

A Maybach brochure dating from 1930 clearly sets out the firm’s stall: “To create only the very best from the very best – a car that fulfils every last wish and stands out for its supremely refined elegance and power.” At that time, Karl Maybach had developed a luxury car, the likes of which had never been seen before. Maybach derived the design of its mighty twelve-cylinder drive unit from the same engine he had developed to power the daring airships of aviation pioneer Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin. Inspired by the Count’s visionary personality, he christened Germany’s first ever series-production twelve-cylinder car “Zeppelin”, and offered it to a highly discerning (and solvent) clientele with a displacement of either seven or eight litres (150 hp or 200 hp).
Even today, the name “Zeppelin” has an incomparable ring to it in the realm of high-end luxury cars. As the flagship model in today’s range of Maybach Saloons, the new Maybach Zeppelin does justice to its branding. The name is not merely intended to rekindle memories, after all: as in bygone times, Maybach is once again building the Maybach Zeppelin for distinguished drivers who are seeking something extra special, even in this most luxurious of automotive segments. Not only do the Maybach 57 Zeppelin and Maybach 62 Zeppelin stand out for their exquisite elegance, inventive ideas and phenomenal performance.

Ferrari F430 Inden Special Edition Review And Photos

Ferrari
F430 Inden Special Edition

The Inden F430 special edition was developed to reach a top speed of over 300 km/h with ease. In the aerodynamic department, the Haiger-based auto tuner mounted a modified front spoiler to properly redirect the flow of air so it can decrease wind resistance and glue the front end of the car to the ground.

The Ferrari F430 has just modified by The German tuner Inden-Design, boosting its looks and performance. While the tuner hasn't revealed the price tag for the Inden-Design F430, the car is more likely aimed at the market niche represented by consumers with an insatiable appetite for spending.

The side-flaps were designed with the same aerodynamic efficiency in mind, not just muscular looks. At the back, the Ferrari received a modified carbon diffuser and a rear valance to increase balance and stability for the pulling rear track.

In the engine department, Inden installed a stainless steel sport exhaust with damper control and Kat replacement tubes, along with new engine electronics and raised the power of the car by 35 hp. The interior of the car features a customizable choice of leather upholstery while the center console is made out of carbon fiber.

Speaking of track, this has been widened both in front and at the back with the help of bigger lightweight wheels. The front wheels were equipped with 8.5x20 rims and 235/30 R 20 ultra-performance tires. The back has been fitted with 12x20 size rims and 325/25 R20 tires. In order to achieve a neutral and focused handling even at high speeds, the tuners from Inden tuned the suspension in order to obtain a reasonable ride stiffness.
