  • Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade for General Motors Suvs and Trucks Tested and Validated to Perform at Their Best
    Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade for General Motors SUVs and Trucks tested and validated to perform at their best Brembo brake packages for Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Escalade and Escalade ESV exclusively distributed through GM dealers and authorized retailers DETROIT, (October xx, 2019) – Brembo, the world leader and acknowledged innovator of brake technology, together with General Motors Performance Engineering designed, tested and engineered a Performance Brake Upgrade System for the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban and the GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade for on and off-road performance. The Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade System is designed for quiet, consistent operation on the street, as well as dependable and robust stopping when working or towing. Design challenges GM challenged the Brembo team to design a 6-piston caliper that would fit within 20 different wheel profiles, allowing the customer to add this bold 6-Piston Performance Brake Upgrade System in combination with a wide variety of GM production and GM Accessory wheels. In order to achieve this goal, Brembo developed a unique compact fixed aluminum, six-piston caliper. Using a disc significantly larger than production also presented several technical challenges, particularly for cooling, which required several iterations of disc geometry, for both the ventilation and the center bell design. "Production brake systems today are more sophisticated than ever and our Performance Brake Upgrade had to meet the same stringent requirements,"

Tech Preview of the 2005 Domestics BY PAUL WEISSLER Chrysler 300 After a multiyear infatuation with SUVs, the domestic automakers have ‘rediscovered’ the automobile. Our annual report covers several all-new models that have resulted from this new marketing direction. ord is calling 2005 the Year of the Car, and is introduc- ing brand-new cars and carlike “crossover” vehicles. But Fit’s not alone, as General Motors and the Chrysler Group also are focusing on the passenger car for 2005. At Ford, the new Mustang gets the most head-turning looks, of course, but the new Ford 500 and Mercury Montego sedans, and the Freestyle “almost SUV,” are a higher volume group. At Chrysler, the in-your-face 300 and Dodge Magnum wagon are getting plenty of attention. And GM has several significant new Dodge Magnum cars—the compact Chevrolet Cobalt (which replaces the Cava- lier), Pontiac G6 (replacing the Grand Am), Buick LaCrosse (replacing the Regal and Century), Cadillac STS (replacing the Seville) and the Corvette, which is irreplaceable. Let’s delve further into it and see what the three domestic camps are offering for 2005. Ford The Ford 500 and its sister Mercury Montego clearly are cars, but what’s the Freestyle? The North American Car of the Year jury placed it in the truck/SUV category (it has suspension modifications to increase ride height and a wagon-type body with three-row seating), but it’s technically very close to the 500.

The purpose is to quantify industry product trends, and then relate our findings to investment decisions. Our thesis is fairly straightforward: we believe replacement rate drives showroom age, which drives market United States Autos/Car Manufacturers share, which drives profits and stock prices.

Es ist die dritte Generation der vielfach ausgezeichneten Premium- Sportlimousine, mit der die V-Serie vor einem Jahrzehnt ihren Anfang nahm – und die Marke Cadillac für eine neue Generation von Autoenthusiasten frisch erfand. „Die V-Serie steht für das Beste, das die Marke Cadillac zu bieten hat. Sie verkörpert unsere Design- und Technikkompetenz in ihrer höchsten Form“, so Steve Carlisle, Präsident von Cadillac. „Der CTS-V ist das überzeugendste Beispiel dafür, dass Cadillac seine Markenstrategie mit handfesten Produkten untermauern kann. So stürmt der neue CTS-V direkt an die Spitze der leistungsstärksten Premiumfahrzeuge.“ Durch umfassende Überarbeitungen verkörPert der CTS-V im Grunde zwei Fahrzeuge in einem: eine Premiumlimousine mit kultiviertem Fahrverhalten und einen Sportwagen mit voller Rennstreckentauglichkeit direkt ab Werk. In ihm kommt der V8-KomPressormotor mit 6,2-L-Hubraum zum Einsatz, der an ein 8-Gang- Automatikgetriebe mit SchaltwiPPen am Lenkrad gekoPPelt ist und über eine Start- /StoPPautomatik und das adaptive Schaltprogramm Performance Algorithm Shifting (PAS) verfügt.
