John Beltz was Oldsmobile’s chief engineer in 1964 and one of the prime movers of the Toronado and 442 project. Beltz was promoted to Oldsmobile general manager at age 43 in 1969 when Harold N. Metzel retired. Beltz passed away in May of 1972 from cancer at the age of 46. John Beltz is leaning on a dual fan 455 Olds and posing with other experimental Olds engines that never saw production. Here are descriptions of these engines: 1. The 0W-43 all aluminum 455 with 4 valve per cylinders, four overhead cam Weber engine. With a redline of just under 8500rpm it was originally conceived for CAN AM racing. At 3000rpm it put out 300hp and at 6000rpm registered over 600hp. The top output recorded for this engine in the Lansing dyno facility was 700 real hp at 6800rpm. Tests were run with both carbueration and fuel injection. The block was cast from Reynolds 356 alloy and fitted with pressed-in dry steel cylinder liners for the Forged-True 12.20to 1 pistons. Billet steel connecting rods by Carillo was used along with a forged steel crank. The engine weighed in at 50 pounds lighter than the production 455 motor! It was developed at the same time as the ZL-1 Chevy 427 motor. 2. The W-43 4 valve per cylinder 455 developed by JOHN BELTZ , LLOYD GILL , JOE JONES AND FRANK BALL. Rated at 500-550hp with a single Rochester Quadrajet on an aluminum manifold.

With its new top model in the Gran Turismo model line, Dr. Ing. hc F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is raising the bar for sporty four-door cars in the luxury class by yet another notch. The new Panamera Turbo S is a unique combination of performance and efficiency, driving dynamics and comfort. The 4.8 litre, V8 biturbo charged engine delivers 550 hp (410 kW), ten percent or 50 hp (37 kW) more than the already very powerful engine in the Panamera Turbo. By the same token, the torque also increases from 700 to 750 Nm. In the “Sport” and “Sport Plus” mode of the standard Sport Chrono Package Turbo and during kick-down in normal mode, the eight cylinder engine delivers fully 800 Nm with the so-called overboost function. The power pack is behind the new top-of-the-range Panamera’s record sprint times. Thanks to Launch Control, 100 km/h (62 mph) is reached in 3.8 seconds; the top speed is 306 km/h (191 mph). Despite the increased performance, fuel consumption remains at the moderate level of the Panamera Turbo — yet another example of “Porsche Intelligent Performance”. In the NEDC the Gran Turismo covers 100 kilometres (62 miles) on 11.5 litres of fuel. Fuel consumption falls to 11.3 litres per 100 km (25 mpg imp.) when fitted with the 19 inch, all-season tyres with optimised rolling resistance developed for the Panamera by Michelin. The increased performance compared with the Panamera Turbo can be attributed to two main enhancements: Improved turbochargers with titanium-aluminium …

Porsche 918 RSR World Premiere of the Porsche 918 RSR in Detroit Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. hc F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, opened the North American International Auto Show today with the World Premiere of the Porsche 918 RSR. Commenting on the first appearance of the sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart at the Detroit show since 2007, Matthias Mueller, President and CEO of Porsche AG said: “We are back in Detroit with a clear message: Porsche further extends its competencies when it comes to performance and efficiency. The Porsche 918 RSR impressively demonstrates the passion of our engineers and designers for developing the world’s most advanced and best looking sports cars.” This auto show in the traditional venue of Detroit, nicknamed “The Motor City”, is regarded as a leading international forum for trends and opinions at the beginning of the year. In this setting Matthias Mueller underlined the growing demand for Porsche, not only in the US, but also on a worldwide basis. The momentum on the product front resulted in an order intake by the end of last year that increased by nearly 50 percent to more than 110000 vehicles. Customer deliveries for the calendar year were up over 25 percent to more than 95.000 cars. This success was mainly based on the new Panamera car line and the new generation of the Cayenne sporty off-roader. *** Not for release, publication or distribution in the United States, Australia, Canada or Japan.

Taking a BMW 125i Coupé for a ride can be fun – but it can also be a whole lot of joy! What I’m trying to say is that a BMW (even with less than 200 HP – let’s think of a 120d or 520d) represents emotional driving. This video was shot with a GoPro Hero HD and might at least give you an idea of what you can do with a Bimmer remembering that this was just a little bit of fun with just 160 kW on an open road. So thank you BMW for the beautiful rear wheel drive and for building those phenomenal, exciting and sporty cars! Therefore we love to drive.
