At least one retro revival is in trouble

Kenny Dreer's eight-year attempt to bring the Norton Commando back to life is at a crossroads. The $10 million needed to fund production was not raised and in mid-April the company suspended operations, furloughed its employees, reorganized the board of directors and declined to renew the lease on its Gladstone, Oregon, headquarters.

Road Test Editor Canet getting down to business on the 961. “Very nice chassis feel,” he reported. “Suspension is firm, yet active; steering is light and neutral and there's an overall sense of excellent stability. The front tire feels well-planted, seems to carry a lot of weight—tire grip wasn't an issue."

The latter was expected as the company was in the midst of locating a property more suitable for production, but the news is not good for fans of the redesigned 961 Commando, a pre-production version of which got a very favorable review in the May issue of Cycle World.

Executive Editor Mark Hoyer had previously ridden a rough-and-ready Commando test mule and came away from his ride on the pre-prod bike impressed with the development made.

“This thing is so 'Kenny Dreer' it is ridiculous! The exhaust-note growl on over-run really speaks to the hot-rod ethic that infiltrates everything he does,” Hoyer said. “They have made a lot of progress with this engine from the last time I rode it a year and a half ago. It is much more free-revving and lively. Most importantly, this motorcycle feels like a package, a system. A few minor refinements and a bit of polishing and the Norton 961 will be a genuine alternative to an air-cooled Ducati Monster.”

Or at least that was the plan before the money ran out.

It may say “Norton” on the sides of the gas tank but the fact that the new Commando got so close to production is due to the tireless efforts of Kenny Dreer.

“It's not as bad as it seems; we're not shutting down the company,” said Bruce Murdock, former Norton CEO now retained as a consultant and spokesman. “We're cutting expenses to the bone and looking for investors, strategic partners or the right buyer who can accelerate our vision of getting the bike into production.”

Some positive news: At Dreer's insistence, the 100 or so people who put deposits down on new “Signature Series” Nortons will be given their money back, along with the option of retaining their place on the waiting list should operations resume. The total amount of the deposits ran well into six figures.

Dreer remains a member of the Norton board and is still hopeful that the company can find a way out of this latest dilemma.

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my most sincere thank-you's to everyone who has followed this story,” he said. “The Norton 961 Commando featured in the May issue is the result of a dream that started more than 10 years ago when my wife Lanie and I started Vintage Rebuilds in the barn behind our house. Little did anyone know at that point where it would all lead. While the current situation is not easy, I believe in my heart that a new Norton is still a realizable dream.”

All-new 2010 Honda Jazz exposed

 2010 Honda Jazz exposedWe’ve come across full press photos of the all-new 2009 Honda Jazz, also known as the Fit in other markets. This car will be released at the Tokyo Auto Show this year

 2010 Honda Jazz exposedWhile no other details are available, we don’t expect much of a power jump from the current 1.5-litre four-cylinder motor. We don’t expect the hard plastic interior materials to change either.

 2010 Honda Jazz exposedThe dark-coloured model is the body-kitted top version, while the lighter model is the basic version. Features include folding rear seats, digital climate control and a panoramic glass roof.

 2010 Honda Jazz exposedThe current girly Jazz never did catch on in the Middle East, even though it is a practical fun-to-drive vehicle. The existing engine is very stressed under hard throttle, but then again, the money-saving crowd never really cared about that. However, the same crowd prefers sedans over hatchbacks too, paying a little more and choosing the Civic instead (while ignoring the butt-ugly City).

Mercedes' First-Ever Diesel-Hybrid

Mercedes' First-Ever Diesel-HybridAt the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes previewed its first-ever, series-production diesel-hybrid model, the E300 BlueTEC HYBRID that will be available in both sedan and Estate body styles when it is launched onto the market at the end of 2011.

The hybrid system pairs a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine developing 204HP with a 20HP (15kW) electric motor for a combined output of 224 horsepower and a torque of over 580 Nm or 427.8 lb-ft.

Mercedes' First-Ever Diesel-HybridThe electric motor, positioned between the internal combustion engine and the 7-speed automatic transmission, assists the diesel unit when the car is accelerating (boost effect) and is used for the recuperation of braking energy in alternator mode. Furthermore, it can be used to power the car alone for short distances at speeds of up to 35 km/h or 22 mph.

According to Mercedes, the E 300 BlueTEC's hybrid system doesn't restrict boot space and variability in the slightest, as all of the hybrid technology, including the high-voltage battery, is housed in the engine compartment.

The German automaker said that the E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID returns a combined fuel economy of 4.1 lt/ 100km (equal to 57.4 mpg US) with corresponding CO2 emissions of 109 g/km.

James Bond Style Lotus Evora Captured Filming in the Alps

James Bond Style Lotus EvoraCourtesy of Carscoop reader Allison P. coming straight out of my home town are these pictures of a probably-rocket-equipped Lotus Evora captured during a ski trip in Chamonix in the French Alps.

Here's what Allison had to tell us about her encounter with the Evora and the film crew:

"I'm just on a skiing holiday now in Chamonix in the French Alps and have seen loads of commotion around a film set. I watched an action stunt scene being filmed with tons of crews and papparazzi swarming! I especially noticed a flashy new Lotus Evora being used in the filming. Is there any way that this could be for the new James Bond film?"

Well, there are three possibilities as to what this ski-bearing tastefully-trimmed Lotus Evora is doing in the Alps: 1) it's the new 007 Bond car, 2) it's a Bond-themed Lotus ad campaign, or 3) some dude (or hopefully super-fine Geneva model...call me!) with a ton of cash just really likes attention.

Blood Brothers”, The Story of The Ferrari Enzo and The Maserati MC12 (Updated)

* Ferrari Enzo featured in red and Maserati MC12 featured in silver.

Name: Ferrari Enzo
Engine: 6L Ferrari Dino V12, Naturally Aspirated, 660bhp @ 7,800 rpm
Price: ~ Php 50.3 million
Weight: 1255kg

Performance: 0 – 62 mph (0-100kph) in 3.65 sec

Max Speed: 218mph (350kph)
Transmission: Six Speed paddle-operated sequential manual

The Ferrari Enzo is named after the company’s father, Enzo Ferrari. Why? Well, the Enzo was the best Ferrari production car of its time. The team then decided to name it FERRARI ENZO.

* Ferrari Enzo featured in black

* Back of the Ferrari Enzo

The first thing that I want you to know about the Enzo is that is a Ferrari. Car enthusiasts wouldn’t care what model you have as long as it is a Ferrari. The second is about its aerodynamic de experience sign. The Enzo’s aerodynamic design is inspired by the Ferrari F1. Yes. The driving feels the same as the F1’s. It even has the Ferrari technology that has been restricted from F1 because of its advantage over the other participants. The Enzo is mostly carbon-fiber in material. Even some parts of the dashboard!

Let me take you inside of it.

Here is a picture of the steering wheel.

Look closely. It has those tiny buttons. If you are not a car enthusiast, you would think that those are just Ferrari rubbish. Well, they’re not. The button that is least pressed is the RACE button. You might ask why. Well, it’s for you to find out.

The next thing is its transmission. It is semi-automatic and is paddle-operated. That’s what makes it like an F1! Paddle-operated transmission!

Here is a picture of the Enzo’s Dials:

Well, this review has been about the Ferrari Enzo and the Maserati MC12. Why? Because they are brothers! Maserati was under the Ferrari’s management when the MC12 was conceptualized and produced. And as I’ve said, they share the same DNA. They share almost the same V12 engine, suspension design and carbon chassis with aluminum cradles at either end, mid-engined rear-wheel drive set-up and the six speed sequential paddle-shifts.

Maserati MC12

Name: Maserati MC12
Engine: 6L Maserati V12, 630bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Price: ~ Php 47.1 million
Weight: 1535kg
Performance: 0 – 62 mph (0-100kph) in 3.8 sec
Max Speed: 205mph (330kph)
Transmission: Six Speed paddle-operated sequential manual

Compared to the digital Ferrari Enzo, the Maserati MC12 is analog. The MC12 was conceptualized and produced during the time when Maserati was under Ferrari’s supervision.

Let me take you inside the car.

Hmm. Do you think you’ve seen this interior before? Maybe. It’s almost the same as the Enzo’s! It also has that paddle-operated transmission! See the difference? The Enzo is digital while the MC12 is analog! Look closely to compare the MC12’s dials with the Enzo’s! They’re almost the same!
