The 335 km/h G-POWER M6 HURRICANE is based on the latest BMW M6. Engined by a 5-litre V10 with G-POWER BI-Kompressor system delivers 635 hp / 467 kW. G-POWER has developed a high-tech supercharging system which uses one bet-driven ASA T1-12 compressor for each cylinder bank.

The small, ASA compressor has an efficiency rate of up to 80 percent and allows G-POWER to install two of them in the tight confines of the M6 engine bay. The high efficiency rate at the 2 ASA supercharges, each spinning at up to 100,000 rpm and more, results in a torque diagram that rises early and at 3,600 rpm already surpasses the production engine’s peak torque of 520Nm, delivered at 6,100 rpm. The new peak of 635 Nm is reached at 6,3000 rpm.

The spoiler reduces lift on the front axle at high speeds. The G-POWER rockers panels smooth the airflow between the wheel houses and give the M6 a longer, lower and sleeker manifestation. Lift on the rear axle is reduced by the carbon fiber rear diffuser for the G-POWER rear apron.

G-POWER Silverstone 21-inch light alloy wheels gives a more exclusive looks and better driving dynamics, with 9.5J x 21 size 255/30 ZR 21 tyres front and 10.5J x 21 with 295/25 ZR tyres rear axle, and technology by Dunlop, the convertibles have perfect high speed tyres.

To get sportier, additional height adjustable G-POWER coil over suspension RS can be installed with nine selectable settings each for bound and rebound.

Chevrolet parts are priced at 67% lower than formerly sold and that is not an offer but a permanent feature. It involved over some 88% of the parts for all current Chevrolet models such as the Captiva, Optra and Aveo, as well as past models such as the Nabira and Lumina. The price decline is because of the ability of the company to get supply parts directly from General Motors operations in Thailand, Europe and South Korea.

The price reduction is part of the overall approach by HICOM-Chevrolet to augment the brand significance and popularity of Chevrolet cars in Malaysia, a guarantee made by the company when it took over the local distributorship last year.

To add, HICOM-Chevrolet may use local vendors to produce original equipment parts for Chevrolet cars, a move that could further bring down prices of spares.

Customers will get a 25% discount on parts such as air, oil, air-conditioner and fuel filters, and spark plug sets - on top of the already reduced spare parts prices.

TOKYO (AP) - Nissan Motor Co. will soon sell cars that push back when drivers try to put the pedal to the metal.

It has also developed a test model packed with additional sensor technology to make vehicles crash-free.

Finally, some good news.

PETALING JAYA: Finance companies are resorting to restructuring car loan repayments to help ease the burden of customers with heavy financial commitments.

At least three major banks will announce their hire-purchase loan restructuring plans soon.

A senior manager of a prominent local bank with a substantial volume of hire-purchase customers said that given the current economic scenario, where prices of fuel and food had increased, many customers would be burdened by the high repayment plans that they had signed previously.

Finance companies could not rule out that some customers might find it difficult to service their monthly installments, he said.

“We expect that for next year there will be more repossession orders given, but it won’t be a drastic increase,” he said, adding that his company issued a monthly average of 2,500 repossession orders.

Most banks and finance companies will try to assist any customer whom they feel could fail to meet their monthly installments.

The move is expected to bring cheer to thousands of hire-purchase customers, especially those paying high monthly installments for their car loans.
