Your Sports Car's Color

If you are buying a new sports car, you may have the opportunity to select its cover from the ever-growing palette provided by auto manufacturers. When selecting a color for your sports car, there are a few factors one should consider.

Individuality may be more of a concern for some than it is for others. If one is seeking an original, or individual look for their sports car, they may be interested in the results of the annual DuPont car color survey. Every year, the survey examines each class of passenger automobiles and finds out which colors are most commonly chosen by consumers.

Based on the results of the DuPont survey, you should avoid a silver paint job if you are trying to stand out in a crowd. Silver has been the most popular color for sports cars each of the last two years and one out of every five sports cars purchased is silver. Those seeking a unique look may also want to think twice about going with red, blue or black color schemes. These three hues were the next most commonly used colors. In comparison, the number of yellow sports cars and green sports cars combined would still only equal approximately half of those sold with a red paint job.

There are few things that are researched as much as consumer habits. Not only are popular colors evaluated by research teams, they have also examined resale values for cars of different colors. Paint schemes that are particularly unique, it appears, are harder to sell used. Of course, this is not surprising. Thus, if you are preoccupied with eventual resale concerns, you might want to pick one of the more popular colors so the sports car will appeal to more prospective buyers.

If you plan on driving the sports car as a primary vehicle or with great regularity, you should consider your environment and usage habits when picking a color. For instance, one who must access a dirt road regularly should probably reconsider a desire for white or similar light hues. Alternatively, a light color might be perfect for someone living in a sunny climate and is more concerned about heat retention and paint fading than with showing a little dust.

When determining which color best suits you and your sports car, there is one factor you should not take into consideration. There is a venerable urban legend that claims car insurance is pegged at higher rates for those driving red cars. Proponents of this myth claim the insurance companies determined those who drove red cars were more prone to accidents and they accordingly increased rates. Today, there is absolutely no evidence to support the red paint insurance story. So, don't let the fear of a higher insurance premium dissuade you from buying a candy apple red sports car if that is your desire.

One should, however, consider the available interior packages when picking out their paint color. Generally, a dealer will recommend a complimentary color scheme, but many of us have seen cars with interior/exterior color combinations that were anything but flattering. Don't neglect to consider the look of the interior and the exterior together. Will the red paint really compliment the gray interior or neutral brown interior better? Make sure you put together a combination you will enjoy.

One of the great things about buying a new sports car today is the flexibility it affords you. Gone are the days of cookie-cutter cars with few options and limited paint schemes. Today, you can assemble your car to your custom specifications, including the paint job. When picking your color, be thorough in your thinking and you are likely to end up with the perfect sports car.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage S (2011) CAR review

By Jethro Bovingdon

First Drives

11 March 2011 00:01

This is the latest baby Aston – the delectable Vantage S. It should look very familiar to you and underneath the handsome skin Darwinian evolution is the order of the day, too.

The now-familiar 4.7-litre V8 now has 430bhp (up 10bhp) and 361lb ft (up 15lb) thanks to improved breathing and more accurate spark ignition. A new exhaust system is both lighter and (this is hard to believe) even fruitier in Sport mode.

Perhaps most significantly the Vantage S comes with a brand new seven-speed Sportshift gearbox, which promises shorter stacked ratios for greater acceleration and much reduced shift times.
Sounds good, what’ll the new Aston Martin Vantage S cost me?

Prices start at £102,500 for the Coupé and £110,700 for the Roadster – that’s up from £93,995 and £102,995 respectively. That’s a whole heap of money and means Vantage S rivals could be as diverse as the Maserati MC Stradale, Audi R8 and Porsche GT3/Turbo. All great cars.

However, with the styling tweaks (new carbon front splitter, more aggressive sill treatment, more pronounced rear spoiler and a carbon diffuser), a modest weight saving (which can be enhanced with lightweight carbon seats and forged rims) and much revised chassis settings, the Vantage S should hold its own.
So is the new 2011 Vantage S a GT3-style baby Aston?

Not quite. It’s certainly more aggressive than the standard car and the launch venue of the Ascari circuit speaks volumes, but this is still a road-optimised package. Having said that the suspension is stiffer and lower even than the N420 limited edition, new six-piston front brakes hint at some serious potential and wider tyres on 19-inch rims suggest that grip and response will also take a leap forwards.

No complaints with the noise as it hares around Ascari. It’s incredible – sharp, jagged, angry. The S feels considerably quicker than a standard car too, thanks to that small increase in torque coupled to shorter gearing. It feels more nimble, too. A faster steering rack helps the car snap cleanly between direction changes and the revised suspension keeps the body in check even when you’re flinging it from kerb-to-kerb.

Of course this is a front-engined, rear-drive sports car and that means a transparent balance, great adjustability and a more forgiving nature than all that grunt and grip suggests. There’s some understeer through quicker corners, but that can easily be neutralised and the S slides with real grace should you have access to a circuit and feel like taking it off the leash.
Weaknesses?

Hard to say with just track driving. However, there’s no question this will be quite a firm car on the UK’s uniquely bumpy roads. That seven-speed ‘box is also tricky to judge purely on a circuit as paddle shifters (even the bad ones) tend to shine in this environment. What is obvious is that it won’t have the seamless quality of something like an M3’s DCT ‘box, nor the precision. And it has nothing like the brutal speed of Ferrari’s old F1 system as fitted to 430 Scuderia.

I can’t help feeling the Vantage S would be a more appealing package with a good old fashioned manual ‘box.
So should I just stick with the standard Aston Martin V8 Vantage?

At this stratospheric price point the price premium for the S looks pretty good considering it brings refreshed styling, more power, a new gearbox, quicker steering and a more focussed chassis. However, if you want your Aston to be more GT than sports car its revised suspension could be too uncompromising.
Verdict

On this evidence the increase in grip, control and agility makes the S the pick of the Vantage range. Let’s hope that’s still true when we drive it on the road.

Nissan GT-R (2011) CAR review

When the R35-spec Nissan GT-R first appeared in 2007 it stunned the automotive world, notching up easy victories against the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo in comparison tests, and posting incredible Nurburgring lap times. Now Nissan claims it has 'enhanced' the GT-R for 2011, so just how much better has it become? Read on for CAR's review of the new Nissan GT-R.
What's changed on the 2011 Nissan GT-R?

Most people will miss the details that distance 2010 Nissan GT-Rs from the new 2011 models. On the outside, the GT-R gains a reprofiled front bumper with wider grille, enlarged intakes, LED running lights and a claimed downforce improvement of 10%. The rear bumper has been redesigned with a larger diffuser and new vent to aid aerodynamics and underbody cooling, along with larger exhaust tips. There are lighter Rays forged-aluminium wheels riding on a new compound (but same size) Dunlop SP-Sport Maxx tyre.

Inside the GT-R Nissan has fitted darker, classier fillets of metal and carbon to the instrument panel and centre console, and the shift paddles for ther dual-clutch transmission are described as 'featuring magnesium'. Hardly stand-out features, then.

But buyers won’t miss the price: it rises from either £59,945 or £61,245 for the previous Premium or Black Editions, to £69,950 for one model that’s available with comfort or Recaro seats. It’s a big hike, and Nissan puts much of it down to a terrible exchange rate and new-for-2011 20% VAT rate.

Luckily, there’s more to this than just cosmetics and a bigger hole in your wallet. Now hiding under a red engine cover, the 3.8-litre V6's output jumps from 478bhp to 523bhp and economy improves thanks to larger inlet tracts and a revised ECU and exhaust. Plus there are bigger 390mm front brakes, a stiffer front end – a neat carbon strut brace links the strut tops – and re-worked suspension too. More intriguingly, four-wheel drive becomes rear-drive below around 6mph when the steering is cranked over; improves refinement and low-speed manouevrability, says Nissan.
Those tweaks seem pretty minor. Does the GT-R drive any better as a result?

It’s easy to be sceptical, but the changes really do manifest themselves. Yes, most GT-Rs make much more than 478bhp on the dyno, but you’ll feel the 45bhp promised here – lowdown flexibility is the same, as is the way the performance notches up in killer 500rpm increments, but it hits noticeably harder in the mid-range, and the delivery now encourages you to wind the revs right out, where it was previously breathless at the outer limits.

The new Bilstein dampers are also far more compliant, helping the GT-R to soak up bumps where previously it would feel too tightly coiled on British B-roads. Combine that with a brake pedal that’s still reassuringly firm, a chassis that’s heavily rear-biased under acceleration and a darty front end that’s even more positive and you’ve got a deeply satisfying drive. Plus, making the GT-R rear-drive during low-speed manoeuvres eliminates annoying shunts and clunks. Shame it’s still as noisy inside.
