Horch glorious, shining like a Victorian tea service that has all the elements of the Pebble Beach winner: fantastic provenance, Immaculate restorationand good old-fashioned arrogance, also known as size. 853 - Standards for short distances Horch car - great car with a 5-liter straight eight-cylinder engine under the bonnet. Lee requested a five year restoration project, which highlights the extraordinary wave of silver and chrome, and fettled Berlin voll CARROCERA Ruhrbeck this view is probably not technically feasible in 1930. discussing the restoration through the pebble beach must wait another year.

August Horch worked for Karl Benz before hitting on their own.

BBC Sport fuel habit European GP Network

Lewis Hamilton certainly did an excellent job repairing the pole position for European Grand Prix - but the fastest man in qualifying was the fact Brawn, Rubens Barrichello. And Hamilton is actually slower than his friend, Heikki Kovalainen, who qualified for them.

Batch of 10 cars on the rest did not provide between the qualifications and career, so his pace in qualifying for a certain amount of fuel to perform, which in turn defines the space when the first cavity.

So when the weight of cars have been published, it is possible that a man who was really a de facto faster.



And this time Barrichello, Brazil, even as the case may be implied in his comments after the qualifications.

Given fuel costs, adjusted net BBC Sport fuel is as follows:

   1 lap 19 Rubens Barrichello
2 Heikki Kovalainen 0.216secs (round 16)
3 Lewis Hamilton 0249 (round 15)
4 Jenson Button 0291 (round 18)
5 Sebastian Vettel 0507 (round 16)
6 Nico Rosberg 0540 (round 20)
7 Mark Webber 0610 (round 20)
8 Kimi Räikkönen 0614 (round 18)
9 Fernando Alonso 0871 (round 17)
10 Robert Kubica 1,114 (round 17)

Barrichello is around 9.5 kg more fuel than Hamilton, which means it will probably four rounds before the race. Is likely to create an exciting Grand Prix.

Hamilton and Kovalainen, is almost certain that the use of their systems to offer to ensure that workers will be held earlier. However, the assumption of Italy can live with them - and there is no reason why it should not be capable of faster cars - has the opportunity to add the first stop in the pits.

Thus, despite the strange, Barrichello is in fact a strong position for his first win of the season - and notes that at least in these conditions of heat, Brawn has returned to form here in Valencia.

Kovalainen second in a network of custom fuel confirms the good results that occurred on Saturday afternoon, even small errors, which is the fourth cycle, which arrives May Pole in the final session.

But this is not the first time the Finn was faster than Hamilton in qualifying the fuel must adjust the time of the year. Your problem - how to make their position vulnerable groups in 2010 - that is having trouble converting the strong momentum in the performance race.

The fifth position on the grid for the button, and the fourth fuel corrected times, do not score well on his way to world leaders in the league, which is far from the pace of Barrichello.

Moreover, just four percent less than its closest championship rival, Red Bull Mark Webber, who had 18.5 points below the button.

Teammate of Webber, Sebastian Vettel, who was 1.5 points behind in third place in the league before the button on the web.

However, the button is just a place behind, and English has two advantages - the car is faster, and is very clean and the cause of the network may be enough to get ahead of the curve first Vettel.

The race, as if between McLaren and Brawn. Inaugural event last year was an impressive boredom.

Year, however, seems to provide enough excitement to fans awake in suffocating heat.

First Impression: 2010 Audi S5 Cabrio

Audi convertible first of the modern age, debuted in 1991 based on the Audi Cup, Wimpy came with 133 horsepower. While some suggest that the new S5 Convertible Convertible is the spiritual successor to the first, there is little to connect the two, besides the fact that the roof can be lowered when the sun decides S5 shine.With $ 72,000 adjusted, multi - layer soft - top-up, a trip is disturbingly quiet - no wave usual, no wind and the noise bothers exhaust quad registry is just discovered. Ownership button for 15 seconds, considers the fall of grace in his hood well and there is no need to install one of these hard to use Tonneau finished look.

The cargo space? Much. With the folding roof that is 11.3 cubic feet, up 26 / 5 ea. Pair with '50 / 50 rear seats folded forward.

Finally, when the clouds begin to gather and there is no room for stopping, dropping only 50 kmh give up the top (within 17 seconds) to get past the riders in the rain without the usual complications. In other cases, the car is stopped and the handbrake is used to make. At this point, Murphy's law dictates boot driver sitting in pools of water.

The rest of the cabin above expectations. He also completed many of the materials and soft texture of the ground surface and a lot of space - enough for what is considered a legitimate S5 four-seater, while the front seats are not far behind. Below is a list of computers. Everything from the xenon headlights of air conditioners that are in place. The highlight is the optional Bang & Olufsen sound system. S 505 W, 10 channels and 12 speakers, the rocks.

As S5 is powered by 354 hp, the Audi 4.2 liter V8 is a silk (until 2011), convertible is another way - using V6 3.0L. To ensure that droptop S is worthy of the name is fed with direct injection to force fresh air through the exchanger compressor. The result is 328 horsepower and 325 foot-pounds of torque at 2900 rpm to see. Needless to say it is enough to get the heart. Typically zero to 100 km / h in just 5.6 seconds and run S5 faces 80 to 120 km / h trick in 4.3 seconds only faster.

The dual-clutch gearbox is a joy, because the seats in the seven-speed controller of elimination. As such, there is a connection for all eventualities. Sunset Cruise Meets smooth, the automatic mode is the right choice - the changes are smooth and refined. Turn the heat slightly, and is equivalent to paddle changers criminal negligence - with every drop, rev box, which agrees with the exhaust system and cruixits Espetec. Fall of Nice, followed by a pocket full of "lost value of the note from the exhaust gases from the finish of mild changes. Oh, the joy of open air motor racing!

Quattro Q5 all wheel drive system sends 60% of the rear wheel drive, 40% in the front. It is also a positive spin - the difference optional sports. Stratification of the intrinsic ability of the Quattro system with this device is born and raised bar. Sport differential automatically sends most power to the rear wheel in the curve from the outside - usually around 10%, even if you could control the torque to a wheel. This seemingly simple act of doing two things very good.

Firstly, the speed of the wheel turns the car off the corner. This reduces the amount of management input required, and all except the elimination of subviratge. Secondly, the difference as a sport is the first level of stability control. Benefit tacit is that instead of stopping the wheel on the right side, where a small error in the differential count of sport proactively accelerating the wheels right. All this means Capricorn ordinary mail is much less likely to intervene - thanks.

Of course, this technology is worth the squat position, the suspension was not his ability to control and balancing the body - P255/35R19 tires deliver tons of hand catches. Hammer in the corner, struck a large folder and S5 is as flat as a sauce on the plate - no rolls, no ads. Sense of direction and information are also very acute. Combining instill a sense of unity with the car, which is rare, especially convertibles. The fact that virtually no hood shake, adding S5 sense of solidity.

S5 can also be adapted for the driver. The use of additional drive select system, suspension, steering, throttle, transmission and differential all sports, sitting in the comfort, auto and dynamic ways. The reality is that the automatic attitude is so good that all but denies the other two options.

Audi is on a tear recently, the introduction of a new model after new models, each surpassed its predecessor in all areas. S5 follow the trend. It's quick, up and management are welcome and be in balance with all the necessary equipment. It is, friends of the shorts are ideal for gentle walks mid summer night - or a quick turn to the local track.

Data double top-down: four seats, Hold

Convertible four sites can not match the real romance roadster - that Grace Kelly and Cary Grant to rub shoulders the Sunbeam Alpine in the "To Catch a Thief." (Grace even have driver's licenses, something never seen the movie, Michael Bay.) But, considering that most people do not continue along the French Riviera Technicolor - or enjoy the income of jewelry thief - four-seater convertible is a commitment in the real world. See honey, there is space for a car seat.

These two dates are relatively cheap convertible cars with little pretext sports capital, as is often labeled as personality traits UV sun. (Toyota Camry Solara and Chrysler Sebring comes to mind.)

At the other end of the fall in absolute caps on the top, like the Bentley Continental GTC and Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé.

In the center there are four convertibles in 2009 as a place of Infiniti G37 and Lexus IS-2010, which aims to provide a bit of everything - the look and the luxury, performance and the modest practical wind - for less money from Porsche less costly. Both the G37 and is the retractable roof of power metal, and have their origin in the sports sedan, but offers infinite buy a direct result of this convertible.

If Sebring fans write to the range of approximately 1 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder convertible and '10 is perfect, Lexus offers a solid 6 and 7 infinite Surprisingly, the endless frivolous, taking advantage of promoting their brand Lexus in the luxury and refinement, including Ceiling work more quickly and smoothly. However, both cars are compromises, especially the lack of upper body that can literally stop the owners of the stock.

BBR Infinite and Lexus, which can be presented. But frankly, seems born to be a convertible.

Like most of the folding hardtop, making the storage of Rube Goldberg roofing requires a large number of followers, who got the coupe proportions of visual background. The shooting in the high waist line - the line running under the side windows - and both cars look pretty from some angles, but sticky dough balls soup, but otherwise normal Coupe Asia.

Although infinitely manages to look back very happy, Lexus has a severe case of Solara ass. But if any Lexus Cygnus, give less than duck goose. Located in a profile of convertibles, large terrace suddenly looks impressive, Lexus and track the position and leaving before entering a brief note.

Inside, the car seat in front talk, his comfort in the support seat (infinite seems better health and more at a time) that a symphonic surround sound and entertainment with many buttons to play . Take control points for the Hyundai board assemblies, pump b'pum ergonomic touch screen and a lot of contacts.

For those who are relegated to the back of the car, touch buttons and a pivot slide front seats for easy entry and exit. These cars are mostly 2-plus-2. Infineon, for example, lost about three feet and six inches of inches more hip and shoulder compared to the G37 Coupe. High barely enough for adults, unless the people of the front seats slide forward to sharing their space.

Both cars have features not found in models of its donors. In order to add additional speaker Bose audio system to assist in outdoor headrest forward with noise cancellation and automatic compensation for changes of a strong sound when the top down. There is no doubt that the Hyundai audio system was superior, when struggling with a strong wind.

•

G37 climate system to adjust temperature and fan speed depending on the position of labels, temperature and vehicle speed. He shows its parameters, depending on outside temperature, vehicle speed, position of the sun and enjoy the cabin.

While the roof opens or closes with no end in about 28 seconds, the Lexus is faster and smarter on the trigger. Operated by 13 motors and 33 sensors, not the hydraulic system, which is the fastest in three parts in the West, opening or closing in 20 seconds. Too soft and quiet, the brakes at the end of the roof of his travels in both directions on the roof of the G37 that bitch is annoying when she moved constantly, while the side windows automatically after the elevation varying roof closed, windows G37 to think individually.

I was caught in a storm of the car and discovered that the top Hyundai also makes the racket is incredibly stoned for facilitation of the Caribbean Tin Roof. While aluminum top Lexus, was all that could hear the raindrops on the windshield.

The abolition of the trunk lid feels like a bowling ball twisted infinitely great. The coverage of Lexus is great, but very smart.
