2011 Nardo High-Speed Test: The 570-HP G-POWER M3 SK II reaches a top speed of 333.29 km/h (207.10 mph)

<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like font="arial" href="http://the-car-addict.blogspot.com/" show_faces="false" width="450"></fb:like><br><br><br><br>The high-speed test of "auto motor and sport" in Nardo in southern Italy is the ultimate challenge for all vehicle manufacturers. High temperatures and the fastest automobile race track in the world that knows only one load condition: full throttle. The 12.3 km-long route is basically a circle with a diameter of 4 km and an elevated roadway that is reminiscent of a steep curve.  In practice, this results in an infinite straight line for miles of continuous full load driving, an operating condition that puts utmost load on the engine. Add uncomfortably high ambient temperatures and it simply doesn’t get any more challenging.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.g-power.de/uploads/media/M3_SK_II_Nardo_2011_004_03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://www.g-power.de/uploads/media/M3_SK_II_Nardo_2011_004_03.jpg" width="400"></a></div><br><br>This abusive environment naturally separates automotive wheat from the chaff, because only those tuners who have carefully shepherded their design from development to production will survive the extreme loads in the "auto motor und sport" high-speed test in Nardo with no major engine damage.  In addition, pushing the system to the top-speed limits in the real-world provides merciless feedback on the achieved performance improvements.  Many tuners instead post performance numbers based solely on short-term dynomometer testing which are subject to many variables, and thus opens the door to abuse.  It is certainly difficult to determine whether performance gains will hold up in the real world if such tests are the only ones performed.<br><br><a href="http://www.the-car-addict.com/2011/07/2011-nardo-high-speed-test-570-hp-g.html#more"><b>•••READ MORE•••</b></a>

„Feels like summer“ but only with the right windscreen cleaner

But powerful summer windscreen cleaners dissolve the typical summer dirt within just a few wiper strokes, to ensure cleardriving conditions.<br />The cleaning formula of a good product will also ensure an optimum tolerance to materials. It will be gentle on plastic components, rubber seals and paintworksurfaces, and must not induce stress cracks or damage to the paintwork. Incidentally, the current windscreen cleaner test in Auto Bild (Issue No. 18– 06.05.2011), which can be read under autobild.de, reveals large discrepancies in the products tested, especially on this subject. <br /><div class="object-left lightbox"><div class="content-view-embed"><div class="class-image"><div class="size-medium"><div class="attribute-image"><div class="ezimage image-medium image-medium_padded"><br /><div class="hideme" id="lightbox-caption704169"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>If the insectremains are stubb ornly stuck on, this can tax there sources of even a good windscreen cleaner. Forthis reason, it pays to operate the windscreen washer unit often while driving, and to manually wash the windscreen thoroughly at journeys end.This is easily done with SONAX Clearglass and an insectsponge. By the way, for lovers of exquisite fragrances the car care specialists also have something to offer, the new SONAX Windscreen washconcentrate 1:100 “for men”, for example, certainly does not smell like a cheap “fir tree”, in fact it has an elegant, rugged, fresh fragrance – totally masculine. The SONAX Windscreen washconcentrate “for women” has a feminine, sensual and warmfragrance. They should ensure real “summer feeling” while driving – happy motoring!<br /><br /><div class="attribute-available_at"><br />Thanks to <a href="http://sonax.de/" target="_blank">sonax</a> for those helpful informations!<br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="object-right lightbox"><div class="content-view-embed"><div class="class-image"><div class="size-medium_portrait"><div class="attribute-image">Lisa </div></div></div></div></div>
