5 new cars introduced
Audi RS 5 Turbo DTM ’19
A DTM machine with two wins in the Class 1 era.
In 2019, Audi introduced six of these RS 5 DTMs into the works team series. With the addition of customer teams, the RS 5 DTM was a force to be reckoned with, but the car with the best performance was the No. 33 driven by ace driver Rene Rast. He won consecutively from the opening round, and finished the season with a pole position at the final race, Hockenheim, in the second race, winning over Nico Muller in the RS 5 as well. Rosberg and René also won Team His title, with car number 33 an iconic double His title winner. The final round of the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) was a mixed-class race in which machines from the Japanese SUPER GT GT500 class were mixed, and an interleague race was held in Japan. However, the Covid-19 outbreak has prompted Audi to withdraw from the DTM competition. As a result, Class 1 regulations ended after just two seasons. A car that truly embodied the ambition and brilliance of the short-lived Class 1 regulations, the Audi RS 5 made its mark in motorsport history.
Porsche 959 ’87
A four-wheel drive road car that shines brightly in the history of automobiles.
This was a design study of a four-wheel drive road car that was being developed in order to participate in the top category “Group B” of the WRC (World Rally Championship) introduced in 1982. , the road-going version of this model, the Porsche 959, was presented. While inheriting the basic structure of the Porsche 911, it was packed with innovative technology. The engine is a horizontally opposed 6-cylinder 2850cc twin turbo with a maximum output of 450 horsepower and a 6-speed MT. However, the biggest feature of this car is the electronically controlled four-wheel drive system that transmits the power of this high-output engine to the ground without loss. The system actively controls the drive ratio of the front and rear wheels according to the road surface conditions, allowing the driver to select a drive mode that matches the current driving situation. It is a new-generation four-wheel drive system that not only offers excellent handling stability at ultra-high speeds, but also ease of use. 292 Porsche 959s were built for Group B homologation, but did not participate in the WRC as the Group B category ended. Considered one of the toughest rallies in the world, he has also set impressive records in competition, including overall victory in his rally in Paris, Dakar.
Porsche Carrera GTS (904) ’64
A masterpiece that brought great success to Porsche GT races in the 1960s.
Soon after its founding in the 1950s, Porsche rose to fame in motorsport around the world with cars such as the 550 Spyder, derived from the 356 series. One of his later significant milestones was the 1963 Porsche Carrera GTS. Also known as the 904 GTS from its development codename, it was a sports car designed to meet the changing regulations of the World Sports Car Championship at the time. World championship races in the 1950s were fought with pure racing cars in small production numbers. However, since the regulation revision in 1961, the GT class with mass-produced sports cars has become the main event. In order to participate in the GT class, it was necessary to clear the homologation production volume of 100 units. The Porsche Carrera GTS was developed and produced using a ladder frame more suitable for mass production and covered with his lightweight FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) body. This was the first time for Porsche to use this format. The car is also known for its low, beautiful styling by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the grandson of founder Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. The engine installed in the midship is an air-cooled horizontally opposed 4-cylinder, and 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder can be installed for racing.
Toyota Alphard Executive Lounge ’18
Japan’s premium minivan has evolved into a luxury car.
Minivans are a popular category of utility vehicles unique to Japan. It’s a highly competitive segment where manufacturers consistently compete for the top spot. But the undisputed ultimate premium car that holds his minivan title is the Toyota Alphard. Since its introduction in 2002, it has continued to evolve in pursuit of a “premium minivan.” Today, the Alphard is one of the first choices when looking for a limousine to host VIP guests and is one of Japan’s most exclusive luxury vehicles. The third-generation Alphard, which appeared in 2015, has further refined its quality and ride comfort. A representative example of this is the Executive Lounge, a high-grade model that greatly boosts the comfort of the second-row seats. The “Executive Lounge Seat” exclusively for this model is an independent seat that is one size larger than the standard model, equipped with heating and ventilation functions, and a foldable mini table. The quality of leather and stitching was key to providing comfort comparable to first-class seats. It underwent a minor model change in 2017, upgrading the 3.5L V6 engine from 276.1 BHP to 296.8 BHP. The transmission has also been optimized, increasing the number of gears from a 6-speed automatic to he an 8-speed automatic. In addition, by adding improvements to increase the rigidity of the floor and openings, driving performance and comfort have been upgraded to the next level.
Mazda Mazda3 X Burgundy Selection ’19
An elegant fastback with an innovative combustion system.
Mazda3 is Mazda’s 4th generation C-segment passenger car released in November 2018, and was called Axela in Japan until then. This fourth-generation model is the first of Mazda’s new-generation products, and its name has been unified globally under the name “Mazda3.” As before, it consisted of two models, a fastback and a saloon, but by adopting Mazda’s unique “Kodo” design, the character of each car became clearer. The form of the fastback model is especially impressive, and the delicate form of the body panel beautifully expresses the transition of light. The engine that powers the car is from Mazda’s new generation SKYACTIV engine. 1.5L and 2L direct injection gasoline and 1.8L diesel turbo engines were the main models, followed a little later by the 2L “mild hybrid” (M-Hybrid) model. This mild hybrid is equipped with the SKYACTIV-X engine, which introduces a unique spark-controlled compression ignition, a revolutionary engine that reduces NOx output without using expensive solutions like Uria SCR. The X Burgundy Selection is a special grade X model with a burgundy interior. Equipped with wine-colored genuine leather seats and dashboard, this is a special model that gives off a luxurious and mature aura.
