has tuned the sportiest model in the Maserati GranTurismo series, the MC Stradale. The tuners now offers a SUPERSPORT supercharged engine with 646 , three-piece wheels with diameters of 21 and 22 inches, a ride-height lowering by some 25 mm and many other exclusive options for the two-seater Italian carengine and the lightweight-design concept of the MC Stradale had resulted in sensational performance of 3.9 seconds fromkm/h and 11.4 seconds to 200 km/h. The MC Stradale’s top speed is now of 306 km/h. Following tried and proven NOVITEC TRIDENTE tradition, a supercharger is also employed to enhance the performance of the sporty coupe model of the Maserati model range.
While the body of the top-of-the-line Maserati model remains unchanged with the exception of the hood, NOVITEC TRIDENTE upgrades the appearance of MC Stradale with a staggered custom-tailored tire/wheel combination that features 21-inch wheels in front and 22-inch alloy wheels on the rear axle. These staggered wheels further emphasize the wedge- shape design of the sports car.
The three-piece NOVITEC TRIDENTE NM3 wheels with five double spokes are mounted on the front axle in size 9Jx21. Size 255/30 ZR 21 Pirelli P Zero high-performance tires transfer steering, braking and cornering forces. Excellent traction on the driven axle is provided by size 315/25 ZR 22 tires mounted on size 11.5Jx22 rims.
The NOVITEC TRIDENTE ride-height lowering is specifically calibrated to the high-performance tires. Progressive sport springs lower the ride height of the coupe by some 25 millimeters, which benefits not only the MC Stradale’s appearance but also its handling that due to the lower center of gravity becomes even more agile.
Naturally NOVITEC TRIDENTE also offers owners of a Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale the option of tailoring their vehicles precisely to their personal preferences. Exclusive interiors are crafted to utmost perfection from the finest leather and Alcantara in any desired color.
The conversion, available for EUR 23,900, also includes a bigger intake manifold, larger injectors and newly calibrated mapping for the engine electronics.

Commonly used in agriculture, industry, expeditions and in the military the Defender is being increasingly bought for private use and the most modern versions spec’d to accomodate this new trend being complete with air con, leather seats, full electrics, in car entertainment etc. I’ve always said that if i end up owning a farm house in the country then i’d get one of these, or indeed just a house with a muddy drive - any excuse really!

Brussels Motorshow, 10th January 2011, Land Rover launches the new 2011 Defender Limited Edition.

The Defender Limited Edition offers raw and edgy style, with the class-leading all-terrain capability you would expect of this motoring icon.

The outside is available in either Zermatt Silver or for the first time on a Defender, Nara Bronze.

And for the first time unique gloss black 16 inch Saw Tooth alloy wheels, to create a sense of raw utilitarianism.

In 2004, the LR3 was introduced by Ford Motor Company, which owned Land Rover at the time. The vehicle, which was available as a 2005 model year vehicle, was a complete redesign of the Discovery Series II, which had been around since 1998. None of the same components were even used in making the LR3.

Some of the physical features of the new vehicle resemble the Discovery Series II, but overall it’s a completely new vehicle. This change was brought about because the company’s market share for SUVs in this price range was dropping. Consumers were going for the more sophisticated and sporty 4 x 4 models from Toyota, BMW and others.

The LR3 is so named to avoid the negative connotations of the Discovery series and because U.S. marketing gurus suggested that Americans are attracted to the alphanumeric combination. This new vehicle seats 7 adults comfortably. It is the ultimate in off-road vehicles, having reached summits that no other vehicle could before it.

It has a strong 300 horsepower, V-8 engine with 315 pounds of torque. There was also a 6-cylinder model available in 2006 and 2007, but it is no longer being offered. The interior of the vehicle is wonderfully appointed with everything you could ask for in a vehicle. The ergonomics are just perfect.

This vehicle has a Terrain Response system, so at the turn of a knob you can instruct the LR3 on what type of terrain it will experience next. It self adjusts to ensure a great ride for driver and passengers in any condition. It is programmed to handle ruts, rocks, sand, gravel, snow, mud and grass. This feature alone has won the LR3 awards and lots of excitement.

Launched in 1989 the Land Rover Discovery was originally designed to bridge the gap between the utilitarian Defender and premium Range Rover models, offering a true off-road vehicle that could carry five people in comfort.

The Discovery or ‘Disco’ as some owners affectionately call them has been a phenomenal success in the 142 markets around the world in which it is sold and is just as common in the city as the farmyard. With over 50 years experience as the world’s only dedicated 4×4 manufacturer Land Rover has achieved enviable brand loyalty with many owners choosing to purchase another Discovery or Land Rover model.

There are any number of remote locales you’d expect to see a Land Rover Defender. Crossing the desert. Traversing a battlefield. Climbing a mountain. Strolling through a vineyard? Okay, sure… why not. But this particular Defender isn’t just taking the weekend off. This is where it belongs. Or at least that’s what Italian customizer Fuoriserie Torino would have you believe.

Now we’ve seen plenty a Land Rover with teak panels. Like Startech’s Defender Yachting Edition, or Land Rover’s own Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition. But those put the nautical-themed veneers on the inside. Fuoriserie puts ‘em on the outside where you’d expect to find diamond-plated aluminum brush guards.
