Hotwheel Elite Ferrari F355 Berlinetta

By admin, November 23, 2011 11:47 pm

Finally, Hotwheels will release its Elite version of F355 soon. For those who missed UT’s full series of F355, now it’s the chance. Somehow, I still think UT’s F355 shape is the most accurate one, especially the tail.

There will be three most popular colors for the Elite version: X5477 (Red), X5478 (Black), X5479 (Yellow).

Jaguar XJ-S經典敞篷最好看的紅色即將推出

By admin, November 3, 2011 6:02 pm

今天突然發現AA的官方網站展示了即將推出的XJ-S經典敞篷紅色﹐雖然內飾仍然一塌糊涂﹐但是因為實在很喜歡的緣故﹐所以看來又要破費了﹐另外黑色硬頂的XJ-S(73577)也不錯。

當然如果哪個紅色調的繼續偏橙的話(近期AA最為人批評的問題)﹐我肯定還是不會買的﹐怎麼說這可是近港幣1200的車模﹐看樣子AA想錢想瘋了。

Autoart: Pagani Huayra Coming Soon, God Knows When!

By admin, October 25, 2011 12:10 pm

huayra

A fter seven years of hard work I am now able to tell you a little brief history and the path that led to the birth of the Huayra, project name C9.

The concept was born in 2003, the year of the introduction of the Zonda S Roadster. As you may recall the early 2000s were prosperous for the world of supercars. The commitment of big car manufacturers have contributed to the rise of extraordinary cars like the Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo, Mercedes McLaren SLR.

This context led us to make several observations concerning the future of the Zonda and what could be a new Pagani. Since the original design of the Zonda was done in the early 90s the first thought was that it was now an obsolete project and we decided to imagine the car totally different in form, dimension, dynamics and technology, all this without losing the essence of our approach, to follow a concept born in the Renaissance where Leonardo da Vinci told us that art and science are disciplines that need to walk alongside. The eternal element air in all its forms, especially wind, became determining in defining the concept and it was a great inspiration, a sit is ever present in our lives: a jet turbine, the silence of a glider… the elegance of the movements the wind creates&hellip but also the violence and force that it can unleash.

The Huayra is made of more than 4000 components (engine and gearbox not included). To create them and put them together requires creativity, patience and passion that I shared with a fantastic young team and with the most competent partner in all sectors.

In defining the size, I immediately thought of a car that would be longer than the Zonda, a track increased by 70 mm, a cabin position shifted 40 mm to the back and even more spacious. The silhouette should be soft, easy to read and form itself from lean and sleek lines that have a clear beginning and an end.

As the style is concerned during these five years we have tried to find the best compromise working on 8 scale models and 2 full scale models, as well as hundreds of drawings without never leaving the original idea and taking meticulous care of the details.

The ideas were of including elliptical shapes reminding of our brand in the front and at the back, keeping the central exhaust as the completion of the line of the canopy, the line starting at the headlight area that continues and ends into the air intake. We also thought from the beginning of active aerodynamics. Flaps that are activated according to the study of results gathered through calculations and aerodynamic testing. The whole car is shaped as a wing so it was necessary to create a high front to reduce the length of the upper part of this wing to counteract lift.

The active suspension in the front and the 4 flaps allow to optimally balance the drag coefficient and downforce.

Mercedes-AMG has created a truly unique and lightweight engine, a twin turbo with over 700 HP and 1100 Nm of torque that perfectly complements the car giving a feeling that has motivated our research: that of the brute force of an airplane taking off.

The main focus was in a power delivery that was linear and not with lag, because that could potentially create safety problems or a continuous operation of electronic driving aids.

Mercedes-AMG already 5 years ago thought about the coming environmental restrictions by creating a 12-cylinder engine that is at the peak of efficiency in terms of CO2 and consumption.

Pirelli has created a very progressive tyre with a exceptional grip in all situations and with low rolling friction. Every aspect of safety was treated taking into account the dynamic by which most accidents with high performance rear engined cars occur.

While developing the C9 we witnessed the evolution of the different models of the Zonda and it showed us that the Zonda wasn’t obsolete as I had originally feared. The Zonda R has been a key laboratory for the Huayra. The team was able to work on many projects at the same time driving on different tracks that occasionally came to meet by sharing engineering concepts, materials, safety and scientific or design studies.

第十屆中國國際玩具及模型展覽會

By admin, October 13, 2011 12:28 pm

今天看到MC論壇有兄弟貼出了第十屆中國國際玩具及模型展覽會的最新車模預告﹐以下是我個人的一點心得﹕

- AA的Mustang 2010﹕希望不會又是個換殼不換芯的變種特工﹐我最近買了個風火輪精細版的紅白色GT500﹐就是看中了它鏤空的前引擎入氣口﹐淘寶價才$280 ﹐性價比AA高了很多分。

1110122253b47d6a13a9b9ba87

- AA的Aston Martin V12 Vantage﹕因為自己接受不了V12 Vantage這種畫蛇添足﹐完全破壞了原先V8 Vantage的高雅美感。V12引擎蓋子上那堆好像黑色昆虫的物體令我馬上聯想到經典恐怖科幻片“異形”裡的相似場面﹐簡直就是難看的要命。記得上回看Top Gear的主持人Jeremy在夕陽中開著那台V12 Vantage﹐一路嘆息這類心愛超跑將會很快在消失人間﹐因為歐盟即將推出對大排放量的超跑提出更嚴格的管制。

1110121635cb45fb567fadea4f

另外銀色的DB5之前已經講過﹐除了狗腿有改進之外﹐其它一概停留在幾年前的工藝上﹐且不提模具勞損﹐縫隙太大的弊病。

111012163643c3acd400fa0f13

- AA的Lamborghini Countach系列看來沒戲了﹐我們等來的居然不是紅色和銀色25週年紀念版本。這幾款預告的版本跟京商相比之下﹐除了那液壓桿之外沒有任何進步﹐但價格一定會在一倍以上。另外之前還在其它玩具展覽裡看到AA即將推出的那一眾極為誇張的Countach版本﹐如美版在車頭加上了難看的保險杆和尾巴排氣管多達10個之多的怪物等實在不敢恭維。唉﹐無它﹐京商多年前就已經把準則設的太高﹐除非你實在沒辦法或者之前錯過了。AA這次來的太遲了﹐難怪古語有雲“既生瑜,何生亮﹖”

11101216492391652180451d1f

1110121635790b7a228695b2e4

- AA的Alfa Romeo TZ 1963﹕無論是TZ或者是TZ2都有抄襲法拉利250GTO的嫌疑﹐所以它們未能引起我的購買意慾。反而那台謠傳已久的Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale Prototype 1967完全令我心魂顛倒。

1110122310e995a96f7ade4b7a

- JAGUAR E-TYPE﹕看來AA這季度最有機會成功的便是這一系列的經典英國國寶。今年適逢JAGUAR E-TYPE 50週年紀念﹐再加上車迷們等SERIES I 3.8/SERIES II 4.2等到的脖子都長了(5年了吧)﹐希望可以在年底前成功收到紅色開篷的SERIES I 3.8(必收色和款)﹑米色開篷的SERIES II 4.2(70年代法國情色電影艾曼妞中的跑車)和黑色的硬頂SERIES I 3.8。

11101223064e34ee58a834a879

1110122307fffbbb1595066dd3

73601  JAGUAR E-TYPE ROADSTER JAGUAR E-TYPE ROADSTER SERIES I 3.8 (RED)
73603  JAGUAR E-TYPE ROADSTER JAGUAR E-TYPE ROADSTER SERIES I 3.8 (CREAM)
73611  JAGUAR E-TYPE COUPE SERIE JAGUAR E-TYPE COUPE SERIES I 3.8 (BLACK) (RHD) 

73581  JAGUAR E-TYPE ROADSTER JAGUAR E-TYPE ROADSTER SERIES II 4.2 (RED)
73582  JAGUAR E-TYPE ROADSTER JAGUAR E-TYPE ROADSTER SERIES II 4.2 (CREAM) 

111012230723cacc96770c4397

至于捷豹XJ-S白色硬頂及敞篷版﹐我已經有Minichamps的1比43白色版本﹐所以應該不會收了﹐除非AA推出最好看的紅色XJ-S敞篷版(73572)。

1110121635745ce0fcc4359a61

11101216351d4e69cb890e3794

- 最後不得不提的是那個半路殺出個程咬金的最大驚喜﹗WELLY將會推出Bentley Continental Supersport﹐看來Bentley終于肯放手把車模牌照發放給幾家(JADA Paragon和WELLY)﹐不在是Minichamps的專利了﹐這是個好事﹐因為之前AA獨大發生不愉快的亂加價事件真的令人很反感﹐市場有競爭才有進步﹐這絕對是件好事。

Autoart 1960s Alfa Romeo 1600 Duetto Spider

By admin, July 1, 2011 12:39 pm

This is the same model droved by Dustin Hoffman in his famous 1967 movie “The Graduate”, What a Classic! I mean both the car and the movie, and of course the theme music like “Silence of the Sound” and “Mrs Robinson”!

Kyosho Ferrari F40 Light Weight with LM Wing

By admin, June 10, 2011 10:30 am

京商1比12的Ferrari F40 Light Weight LM Wing就快出了﹐看樣子1比18的也離我們不太遠了。

2011年福崗模型展

By admin, May 17, 2011 10:21 pm

以下是我個人比較喜歡和有機會購買的產品﹕

今年京商最令人期待的就是這台銀黑色的Rolls Royce Ghost﹐車型準確之外﹐細節做工也不錯﹐現在就差最終定價了﹐如果能在$800左右﹐應該可以賣個滿堂紅﹗之後Kyosho就可以光明正大地殺入頂級豪華房車的陣營與Minichamps拼個你死我活了﹗

SH50-0850

SH50-0854

另外京商會重新推出升級版的日產第一代戰神Skyline GT-R (KPGC10)﹐除了改進狗腿門外﹐其它細節也得到了相應提昇﹐那最期待的白色神物也會再次推出﹐唯一的敗筆是繼續沒有車窗﹐其實更令人擔心是模具的老化﹐從年頭的再版NSX可以看出模具損耗程度直接令各接縫大得相當恐怖﹗而且同期AA也會推出銀色和白色的戰神KPGC10﹐不用說﹐大家肯定都會一股腦兒地奔向AA﹐沒辦法﹐誰叫別人做的好。

SH50-0858

SH50-0859

最後就是Ferrari Light Weight LM Wing﹐沒什麼提昇除了那碳阡的尾翼﹐但相信像我和Robin這樣的法拉利鐵桿粉絲還是會乖乖奉上銀子的。

 SH50-0941

 

Minichamps今年最沒看頭﹐那台黑色的Mclaren F1緣用UT的舊模具(看樣子當年UT分家的時候﹐AA當時也得到了相同的一批)﹐並沒有像AA般改進各細節﹐而且人家AA早在去年就已先登寶座了﹐這下Minichamps沒看頭了。

 

今年福崗模型展重頭戲是來自香港的參展商Autoart﹐真是中國人的驕傲﹗

早前驚訝得知Autoart會推出一系列的Countach LP400, LP500等等﹐原來以為Autoart會推出那萬眾期待無尾翼的白色LP400﹐但居然沒有﹐白色的只有換湯不換藥的5000 S﹐而且還配了個難看的金色車輪﹐其它的LP400等還不如人家Kyosho多年前的看家本領﹐所以我看如果你之前收了京商版的話﹐那也就算了。

SH50-0376

另外就是那令人注目的Aston Martin DB5﹐我今晚拿出了10年前的DB5和相片中的再版仔細比較過﹐除了內飾和改進狗腿門外﹐沒有任何技術上的提昇﹐而且新版價格應該上千﹐所以應該會放棄。

最後看過了高清的BUGATTI 57S ATLANTIC 1936 – BLACK後,直覺告訴我這個AA的Type 57 最多值RMB800左右,看樣子我會在第一輪的Bugatti熱潮全部放棄,因為AA價格不值、CMC車型不准。但我會等CMC的黑色,看看它年底到來的時候會否有改進外形的問題,CMC出名听車模迷的反映而改進其產品的,所以應該還有希望!

噢對了﹐CMC今年居然放棄了參展﹐難道是怕了日本輻射不成﹖

Autoart Nissan Skyline GT-R 1st Generatin (KPGC10) – Silver

By admin, May 6, 2011 1:50 pm

AA終于即將推出東瀛站神的始祖KPGC10﹐一如既往﹐白色的版本(77383)還是留到最後才會推出。
