Chevrolet Caprice 2009

The 2009 sedan Caprice available with a 6.0 litre V8 engine on all models, which delivers 360 hp at 5,700 rpm and peak torque of 530 Nm @ 4400 rpm. GM’s state-of-the-art electronic stability control (ESP) now comes standard on the LTZ V6 variant, while Bluetooth connection for mobile phones is featured on all models from the LTZ upwards.

Providing a smooth launch feel, the transmission has benefited from extensive calibration work by Chevrolet engineers to balance performance with customer expectations and model requirements. A direct input speed sensor is also there to improve shift feel and smoothness. The other trims are mated to a four speed automatic transmission.

Carlsson CK63S Mercedes C63 AMG 2009

The appearance kit for the motor type M156 rises the serial performance of the 6.3 litre V8 from 457 hp (336 kW) at 6,800 r.p.m up to 565 hp/415 kW. The torque significantly increases from 600 to 685 Nm, and therefore, the car only needs 3.8 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 km/h instead of the serial 4.5 seconds. Once more, the Carlsson engineers are able to prove their expertise gained in motor sports.

To ensure that the extra performance which has been imbued to the C-Class by Carlsson does not go up in smoke on the asphalt, Carlsson recommends fitting its torque-sensitive multi-plate limited slip differential with mechanically variable lock-up (produced with lock-up values according to customer requirements).

Cruze Chevrolet 2009

Its tight, strong structure is key to suppressing noise, vibration and harshness, as well as securing a good crash safety performance and optimal ride with handling properties.

All the controls are nicely placed and easy to use, and thankfully the tacky fake wood and metal has gone, instead replaced with more amiable plastics. Compared to the seats of its predecessor, the main improvements for Chevrolet Cruze are the use of a wire mesh construction to distribute weight more evenly, a firmer foam filling and deeper bolstering for the cushions and seat-backs, front and rear.
