2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe V8 GDi

New Hyundai Coupe was designed in 2012 the name of Hyundai Genesis Coupe. New Genesis sedan has received awards for going step by step with the best luxury sedans from Japan and Germany. 2012 is a new Tau 5.0-liter engine, bored by the direct injection version of the 4.6-liter V-8 is found in Genesis sedan. Up to 96 mm diameter, increased by 4, while the race was steady at 87 mm. The result is the estimated production of 429 hp at 6500 rpm and 376 lb-ft at 5000 rpm with a compression ratio of 11.5:1 for. The new engine will be mated to the eight-speed automatic are designed and manufactured by Hyundai.



A member who is more powerful than the Hyundai family Tau V-8 was an earlier finding in a while. But here in the engine compartment of the new Hyundai Genesis 5.0-R Spec. R-Spec badge inserted into the core, light Genesis Coupe optioned, but the sedan version of Genesis refers to the addition of luxury extraction yield.

It does not replace the 4.6-liter V-8 available with the new 5.0, while maintaining a good line of Hyundai Genesis, young big V-8 in an exclusive R Spec. We get the original specification from 5.0 liters in the process of Korea in June, and now have confirmed information. The machine produces 429 hp 6400 rpm for meat and 376 pounds-feet of torque at 5000 rpm. (If you want to learn more about how to increase hot letter V-8 Hyundai, check out rotten.) Powers will be allocated through a new shipment of Hyundai, the in-house developed automatic eight reports.



Genesis 5.0 R-Spec also get what Hyundai calls "more aggressive chassis adjustment," but based on our experience with the hard route in the long term, which are 4.6 sedan Genesis, the first strikes us a bit like Old Country Buffet is the promise of being the largest meal in the future. Fortunately, it appears that a strong leagues are not part of the menu, in fact, a lowered suspension received recalibrated model to correct the problem increases. Instead, Genesis 5.0 R-Spec promising results for the sporty and 4.6 s' on the front and rear stabilizer bars large packaging brake discs front and 13.6 inches, larger than the year past in all models. Also unique 19-inch wheels.

Finally, the exterior and interior tweaks for the complete transformation of the R-Spec. R-Spec Hyundai Genesis 5.0 will be available only in black Noir, platinum and metallic Titanium Grey Cat talks black, bright silver and dark silver plated and blades feature of the house lights dark and R-Spec badging on the rear deck. It 's all black interior and steering wheel is fully wrapped in black leather, unlike wood and leather in Genesis 4.6.

H2O Kalmar DLC DAMASCUS Steel

By TLex If (as the H2O mantra goes) ‘Customization is EVERYTHING’, then diversity certainly comes a close second; diversity through the use of exotic metals and finishes. Damascus Steel now joins; Grade 5 Titanium, Anamorphic bead-blasted DLC, Mokume Gane and TiO2 as H2O’s latest venture into the world of metallurgy, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. The best is most likely yet to come!



DAMASCUS Steel, which refers to the Medieval period between 300 BC and 1700 AD, describes a particular type of steel used in sword making of that era. Swords made of this steel were characterized by a distinctive mottling pattern. These swords were known not only to be extremely resilient and shatter resistant, but were capable of being honed to a sharp and tough edge.



Nowadays, Damascus Steel is used predominantly in knife making, and the fabrication of rare and exotic timepieces, where it is priced for its distinctive appearance. I have yet to come across its use in dive watch construction.



The Damascus Steel used by H2O Watches has been forged in much the same manner that was done by early sword makers. It should not be confused with modern Damasteel, also used in the knife industry and which is a far less labor intensive method of making steel that appears similar to Damascus Steel.



Initially H2O Watches have had some dials and bezel made from Damasucs Steel, but they will be offering a full Damascus Steel version of their 3000m Kalmar in the future.

2012 Hyundai Genesis

As Hyundai's first bid to enter the world of construction luxury sedan, the Genesis is one of the most important cars of the brand. He fights with the best of Japan has to offer, including the Lexus GS and Infiniti M, and trying to nose in Germany, Genesis is well executed, well built, and was well received. MotorAuthority a rate of 8 solid 10.



Although Genesis seems a bit slippery on the outside, even negligent, but a Hyundai badge on the front, he manages to be attractive in a discreet way. Its proportions are very good for a big sedan, while details like the grille, headlights and rear bumper design all offer some interest and even continuity in relation to its smaller luxury-oriented models. Inside, the Genesis is quality leather and soft-touch plastic, developed with very tight tolerances, and the same style are reserved on the outside of the center console play leading roles as an host of infotainment system and a big button controller.

In terms of performance, something that all true luxury sedan Genesis should provide many check boxes on the right: the sedan comes standard with a power 333 V-6 engine with a 4.6-liter V-8 good for 385 horses as an update. The R-Spec, new for 2012, beating the 5.0-liter engine and 429 horses. All three are in the task of obtaining a large saloon with ease, even if the V-8, and in particular the engine of the R-Spec, are the choice for those with a taste a little more speed.



The R-Spec is also committed to the suspension significantly - is downright sweet in Genesis models - with a direction, too. Unfortunately, these changes are not enough to improve the performance of Genesis "true sports sedan levels, and body lean is still important despite the trip a bit harsh, management did not feel, and the seats too soft, no real increase. The R-Spec is better used as a powerful cruiser States.

Whichever model you choose Genesis, but you will not run out of space inside: back seat is almost 7-series high, with plenty of legroom with a range of six footers . The front seats offer about as much space, and even large drivers will not find a lack of headroom at any position. The trunk is big enough. Build quality is generally very good with all the strength of the material closing the doors and durability you expect from a luxury sedan.

Hyundai did not skimp on technology for the Genesis, or, with a range of security features including the warning system output, indicators of the parking space, rear view reverse camera, and eight standard airbags. All this technology is good for a security check IIHS Top Pick.

Other technologies can be found in all Genesis sedan includes: Bluetooth, USB connectivity, satellite radio and automatic climate control. Additional options include premium packages and technologies that add many features available on the V-8, including a Lexicon audio system. A navigation system with touch screen and the media console and a controller based on large are also available.

2012 Hyundai Equus

Hyundai Equus is an updated version of Hyundai Equus in 2012. This new model gets new 5.0-liter V-8 eight-speed. Of course, for 2012 Hyundai Equus offers powerful performance of this new engine and transmission.



According to Hyundai's 5.0-liter V8 engine produces 429 horsepower and 376 lb.-ft. of torque, an increase of over 385 healthy 4.6-liter version of HP and 333 lb-ft. This engine is rated 16 mpg city/25 highway.

While fuel economy for the heavier 5.0-liter equipped with Equus, has not been released, but the current car, it is a 4.6 mpg less efficient in the city and two down Cycle route from the Hyundai Genesis. We expect the 2012 Hyundai Equus has better fuel economy.



It is a comparison test with the lux-sedan Lexus LS460L pivotal, 2012 Hyundai Equus record from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds and run a quarter mile of 14.5 seconds at 99 mph. This sedan has won the test, the record.

Scheduled passenger traffic, the 2012 Hyundai Equus will go on sale this summer. Here you can watch the appearance 2012 Hyundai Equus. You can also compare with the design for last year's model, the Hyundai Equus 2011, we also provide the images here.

DIEVAS Focal

By TLex I have to admit it's a pretty long read, but the new Focal from DIEVAS Watches is something that they have put much into and are quite proud of and that's why they want share the FOCAL Story, so happy reading folks . . .



From DIEVAS Watches THE FOCAL STORY Our engineers at Dievas Uhren Technik have always adhered to the term progressive watchmaking. We thrive on improvisations to make new watches better than her predecessors. All these done in real time with feedback from sports/military professionals, horology enthusiasts and our watchmakers.

The pursuit of a robust and dependable watch began immediately after the release of the Dievas Vortex. One can now conveniently explore watch foras and reviews from actual owners to attest to the distinction of the Vortex. Not only does the watch exhibit unsurpassed high quality, aesthetically enticing but also presents impeccable value.



Shortly after, Dievas together with a high esteemed metallurgy company collaborate to bring the latest 6STEEL technology to the masses. Following both of our sold out 6STEEL watch models (THE REAPER AND VOYAGUER GMT), the Dievas FOCAL will be the first Dievas dive watch to inherit this new technical know-how.

The Focal point of the watch is the high spec watch case. Design based on a special 3 piece case construction, fabricated with high grade 316L stainless steel using the latest CNC technology. The 45mm x14.5mm (DxH) case is well defined with clean edges (traits of top quality machining). Each case is further refined by hand to attain that brilliance and sharpness usually associated with only the best. The case is then put through another QC check to eradicate the smallest of imperfections before going for the Dievas 6STEEL treatment.



One must know, 6STEEL is the hardening of the actual steel and not merely a foreign coating. Firstly, our premium 316L CNC watch case is heated in a mixture of carbon gases at precised low temperature to allow diffusion of atoms. This intricate process is duplicated repeatedly over long hours to superimpose supersaturation and concentration of carbon. The sudden immense energy from carbon atoms accumulation results in 30µm layered hardening of the case to 1300 Hv on the Vickers scale (6 times the original hardness of normal stainless steel).

The toughened case is then put through a vacuum chamber for plasma coating to elevate the corrosion resistance, particularly sea water and sweat immunity. This multi-layering is done to the whole watch including the back case, Nothing is left to chance to create that robust watch we want. Each Focal sit for at least 2 weeks in the hardening chambers and goes through another QC check before being transferred back to the atelier for assembly.



The case is adorned with a 60min timing bezel for professional diving use. The enlarged unidirectional bezel with distinct gear-edged pattern is chosen for easy operations when wearing diving gloves. Each minute click maneuver is engaged with precision and authority. Not the sightless slop between clicks.

The Focal is conservatively rated at 500 metres water resistance (WR). A double O-ring 8mm screw down crown occupies the lower left hand corner for easy time adjustments. The surface is sealed with a 4mm thick blemish-free Swiss grade dome sapphire crystal that is treated with military grade anti-reflective coating for improved readability. On the opposite end, screw down solid back case watertight the watch from the underside.

The watch is powered by the ever so reliable and proven Dievas/Swiss automatic 28,000bhp mechanical automatic movement, ETA-2824-2, modified to Dievas specifications which includes a custom Dievas DLC-treated CNC rotor. Each watch is adjusted to 5 positions to its maximum efficiency for the most accurate time telling by our experienced watchmakers.



For the watch dial, we designed an easy to read design whilst still maintaining a certain uniqueness akin to the Dievas flair. A dark gray surround encompasses 60 minute markers around the main dial which shows off an individualistic 12 o'clock marker. Over-sized watch hands which reads hours, minutes and seconds are chosen for easy readability especially when applied with luminous material . The dials and hands are filled with generous amount of Grade A Swiss SuperLuminova and will glow for hours enabling time telling in low light conditions. The date of the month is positioned on a cutout above the 6 o'clock marker.

To complete the package, we included a molded anti-static rubber strap 22mm, with a sturdy solid CNC-Machined stainless steel clasp with diver suit extension. This custom strap is made from pure Italian rubber, fill the lugs and contours around the wrist for improved wear and wrist presence. Accompanying the Focal is the water resistant carry case together with an additional waterproof leather strap and changing tool.



Our mission is to make an extremely durable watch suitable for the avid professional diver as well as military personnel. This means cutting down on watch-servicing intervals and bulking up the metallurgy composition. Every part of the watch including the caseback is hardened 6STEEL. Even if the watch is rated conservatively at 500 meters WR, each FOCAL is individually tested for way beyond its WR before leaving the factory to ensure a no-leak policy.

Every Focal watch will come with a 2-year international warranty. Admittedly, while the Focal's conservative appearance might appear too understated for some. Our goal is not to redesign the working mans utilitarian watch, rather we want to build a watch worthy to stand tallest amongst the competition, a watch that marries old artisan watchmaking passion with new world modern technology. A watch that is not merely a pretty face but possess real usability.

We will like the Dievas Focal to be known as the Serious, Simple watch.

In the last post, we looked at Chris Lee's overall collection. This time around, we'll be taking a more detailed look a few of his favorite models he's built.

First, we'll start off with this street going version of a Ferrari 575 LM. It started as a Kyosho model with full race livery. He removed all the livery and gutted out the bottom of the car.

Chris also modified the wheels and slammed the already slammed 575 LM even more.

After he slammed the car, it became too low. So he had to remake the bottom and side skirts out of modeling clay and bondo to clear the ground. By doing that, he was able achieve the crazy stance it has now yet also retain its functions like rolling on all 4 wheels and steering.

The engine that originally came with the Kyosho model wasn't very spectacular. So Chris created a whole new engine out of various parts. He used the original 575's block but mated it with a Lamborghini V12 head and topped it with Ferrari F456 intake manifolds. It makes no mechanical sense, but Chris assured me that it looks a lot better than what came with the original model. I believe him.

Chris removed the race car's stripped out and caged interior and replaced it with a full interior with seats and carpet from various street Ferrari models.
