L

and Cruiser features an impressive array of all-terrain, comfort and convenience technologies.

There’s the perfect combination of power, toughness and luxury at your fingertips.

Powered by a mighty 4.5-litre twin turbocharged and intercooled diesel V8 engine, Toyota’s Land Cruiser 200 will quickly get you on your way with 200kW of power and 650Nm of torque.

That big torque figure will also let you explore Land Cruiser 200’s capabilities as a reliable tow wagon for every New Zealand lifestyle.

The flagship Land Cruiser offers an amazing degree of comfort and convenience technology onboard too, such as intuitive touchscreen controls, seamless Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming connectivity, four zone independent air conditioning and sumptuous leather accented interior.

In the VX Limited there is a rear seat entertainment system with wireless headphones and a powered glass sunroof.

World-beating technology for the toughest terrain is something the Toyota engineers have prided themselves on.

sive array of all-terrain technologies such as Multi-terrain Select modes for assured off-road travel and CRAWL control, which acts like an off-road cruise control.

In the VX Limited Kinetic Dynamic Suspension is a permanently active system that uses hydraulic linking of the suspension to effectively disconnect the stabiliser bars in off-road conditions where additional suspension travel is beneficial in keeping all four wheels firmly planted on the ground.

Land Cruiser 200 ensures you have eyes everywhere, with an impressive Multi-terrain Monitor system incorporating Underfloor View, Front View Rotating Display, Slip Display, Tilt Meter and Panoramic View capabilities.

A large 9-inch display screen creates a central focus for navigation, entertainment, comfort settings and vehicle data for those in the front seats, while the driver will also enjoy the Optitron instrument cluster with 4.2-inch Multi-information Display (MID).

Mario’s Lambo for sale

M

ario Andretti is one of the true greats of American motorsport.

A Formula 1 world title in 1978, a class win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and victories at the Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 underline a career that many could only dream of.

And, with such a career it’s only natural that his cars off the track would be suitably exotic.

In particular, Andretti has a known penchant for the raging bull.

The 79-year-old owns a bunch of Lamborghinis, but it’s this 1984 Countach that’s of particular interest.

Yes ... it’s currently for sale.

The sharp, angular, red door stop is a 5000 S variant.

This means that under that rear hatch is a 5.0-litre V12 engine making 277kW (well, it made that when new at least) and linked to a 5-speed stick.

The red exterior is paired with a vintage tan interior, revealed through the Countach’s pair of now iconic scissor doors.

Just 321 5000 Ss were ever built.

What makes Andretti’s Countach particularly unique are the minor details.

The smart looking pin-striping is underlined by Andretti’s logo, which also features on the black wing mirrors.

Given its history, condition, and the fact that there’s just 17,715km on the odometer, it’s no surprise that a reasonable sum of money is being asked for on the Countach.

Sellers Motor Car Gallery have a price of

US$499,000 (NZ$743,000) attached to the Italian supercar.

“When Mario wasn’t travelling the world collecting championships, he was known for terrorising his small Pennsylvania town in one of his Lamborghinis.

Mario reportedly has owned a 1989 Anniversary Countach, a 1991 Diablo, a Murcielago, an Aventador, and our 1984 Countach 5000S,” says the auction house.

“Cosmetically the car looks sharp.

“It sports the original red paint high-

lighted with a pinstripe incorporating Mario Andretti’s logo.

“The exterior rear view mirrors are also embellished with an Andretti logo.

“The interior is original, complete, and in top condition.

“This car was recently the subject of a major mechanical refurbishment.

“The engine was pulled and treated to a complete overhaul to new car specs.

“Any work needed was addressed.”

Six of the best F

ive of the rarest and most astonishing Aston Martins ever built have now been confirmed for Concours of Elegance 2019.

From the track-focused 1932 Le Mans Lightweight LM9 to the 1985 V8 Vantage that formed the template for the fabled X-Pack Vantages, these six cars are the very pinnacle of Aston Martin innovation, design and performance.

Now almost 90 years old, the 1932 Aston Martin Le Mans Lightweight LM9 was created specifically to race at the Le Mans 24 Hours race that year, in conjunction with its sister car LM10.

LM9 was fitted with a number of Electron parts, a magnesium and aluminium alloy, to help reduce weight over previous Aston Martin racers, and had a pointed tail and low radiator design to help with aerodynamics.

The 1.5-litre car’s first outing was at Le Mans, during 1932 but it didn’t prove successful.

But LM9 returned to Le Mans the following year, with more success. In fact, LM9 finished the Le Mans 24 Hours fifth overall, and first

in class. At the more modern end of the Aston line-up, Concours will be displaying a V8 Vantage model with a significant history. The very car on display at Hampton Court Palace is the genesis of the fabled X-Pack V8 Vantage models, of which only 131 were built.

This V8 Vantage started life as a standard car, but was later returned to Aston Martin Works so they could begin developing a new, more powerful and better handling version to best the Ferrari 288 GTO and Lamborghini Countach QV 5000.

No line up of Aston Martins would be complete without key DB models; and Concours of Elegance will start with one of the earliest, the DB2/4 Mark II Saloon.

Two examples of arguably the most famous Aston Martin in history will also be on display in the main line-up; the DB5 and DB5 Convertible.

Made famous by a certain secret agent, the DB5 catapulted Aston Martin into popular culture.

The Aston Martins in the display will be joined by a special world-first Aston Martin Zagato feature as part of Zagato’s Centenary celebrations.

The American Dream Bernard Egan MOTORING

T

he daily Test Yourself column in this newspaper is both popular and challenging.

Because of their variation the eight questions with multi choice answers are always interesting.

A recent question – the length of the longest car in the world – no doubt fascinated many readers, especially so members of our motoring team.

The answer is a stunning 30.5 metres.

But the question and the answer left us wondering what the car is. and what on earth would a car of that size look like.

The car is called The American Dream.

The massive limousine, which was built

by California custom car guru Jay Ohrberg, became certified as the longest car in the world by Guinness World Records in the mid-1990s.

It sports 26 wheels, a Jacuzzi, diving board, king-sized water bed, and even a helicopter landing pad.

When asked why he designed and built such a massive car the constructor re-

sponded by saying, why not?

The American Dream began life in the late 1980s at Ohrberg’s Hollywood Cars shop.

Ohrberg selected a golden 1970s Cadillac Eldorado as a starting point.

Twenty six wheels later, The American Dream was complete, featuring along with the other features a small lace and candelabra-festooned living room and two separate driver’s cabins.

The limousine could be driven in its straight state, or reset to bend in the middle.

The separate driver’s cabin was rather necessary in order to negotiate any turn,

and the ‘backseat driver’ would steer the rear axles.

Intended mainly as a movie car and display vehicle, it was not road legal.

Period photos show The American Dream was detachable in the midsection and could be trailered on flatbed trucks from location to location.

But its ‘longest car in the world’ claim to fame almost didn’t save it from an untimely demise.

The American Dream was leased to a company which used it as a promotional vehicle, and upon the end of the lease, its caretakers abandoned it in a New Jersey warehouse.

World loses a motoring icon

T

he name of an American gentleman who died on July 2 this year aged 94 has left an indelible mark in the annals of motoring history.

And elsewhere too.

The son of Italian immigrant parents Lido Anthony – Lee – Iacocca helped create the Ford Mustang and then rescued Chrysler Corporation.

His stellar career at Ford ended abruptly, but not before he followed his gut instinct, which saw the iconic Mustang introduced to a motoring public who he knew were well and truly ready for it.

Later it was suggested the “customer surveys” which confirmed the public couldn’t wait for an exciting new sports car and which he used to convince his board of directors may have been somewhat imaginary, but it didn’t matter a jot, because Lee Iacocca was right.

Iacocca’s dream of an affordable muscle car quickly became a reality, and that reality grew into a bigger phenomenon than he or anyone else at Ford ever imagined.

The introduction of the Mustang and some other models, including the Pinto, came exactly when Ford needed a boost following the disastrous (although ironically now collectable) Edsel.

The Ford Pinto, an economy car that became notorious for exploding fuel tanks, was one of Iacocca’s duds.

“You don’t win ’em all,” he said of the Pinto.

Iacocca’s relationship with the Mustang was cemented when Time and Newsweek featured him on their covers in April 1964.

By 2013, about nine million Mustangs had been sold.

After the acrimonious split from Ford, Lee Iacocca was invited by Chrysler to help save them from bankruptcy, which he did.

At Chrysler he promoted projects like the

In 2012 it emerged at a salvage auction needing major repairs – damage to the body, tears in the roof, broken windows, and a rusty Jacuzzi – it didn’t look promising.

However, the story has taken a positive turn.

In 2014, New York’s Autoseum Automotive Teaching Museum announced that The American Dream limousine had been acquired and will now be used to help teach students to fix, build and fabricate cars.

Given its sheer size though, this restoration project may take some time.

But The American Dream will live on.

Mini Van. Following involvement in the motor industry Lee Iacocca went on to become a world-renowned public and motivational speaker, author and philanthropist, famous for many quotes including “we are all living a once in a life time opportunity”.

He was involved with other businesses, including the Olivia Olive Oil brand.

Iacocca often spoke of his immigrant roots and how America rewarded hard work.

When he was tapped by President Ronald Reagan in 1982 to be chairman of a cam-

paign to restore the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, he said he accepted the job as a way of honouring his parents.

The campaign raised more than $350m, more than double the initial $150m goal.

Somewhat ironically, the man who recognised the motoring public’s appetite for the powerful and iconic Mustang in later years recognised the need to develop electric vehicles.

Lee Iacocca was a man and kept up with the times in which he lived and will forever have the respect and appreciation of many, especially Mustang enthusiasts.

ometimes and often unexpectedly one ends up having a great day out.

This happened recently when this writer accompanied Roger Hart when he test drove a new Mazda MX5.

Apart from saying it was a comfortable ride I’ll leave a description of this great sports car and the technical stuff to Roger.

But what I do want to share is everything about the outing was perfect, including a brilliant mid-winter day which meant we could drive the wonderful roads up to and along our spectacular foothills with the top down.

A great reminder of superb local scenery.

Added to that some tasty treats were sampled along the way.

And of course from my point of view great company.

Hopefully Roger would agree!

HARLEY

- but not as we know it T he Harley-Davidson® LiveWire™ is an all-new, all-electric motorcycle; an exhilarating and evocative new model designed to offer the rider a high-performance motorcycling experience infused with a new level of technology, and the premium look and feel of a Harley-Davidson product.

Propelled by the immediate torque of the H-D Revelation™ all-electric powertrain, the LiveWire motorcycle is capable of rapid acceleration with just a twist of the throttle – no clutching or gear shifting required.

An optimised centre of gravity, rigid aluminum frame and premium adjustable suspension components give the LiveWire motorcycle dynamic handling.

With up to 146 miles of range, performance is optimised for the urban street-rider.

The LiveWire model is the first in a broad portfolio of electric two-wheelers designed to establish Harley-Davidson as the leader in the electrification of motorcycles.

Its debut is a significant part of the More Roads to Harley-Davidson plan to accelerate building the next generation of riders through new products in additional motorcycle segments, broader access and a commitment to strengthen dealers globally.

The LiveWire motorcycle will be available in 2019 in the United States, Canada and most European countries where Harley-Davidson conducts business, with expanding global availability planned for 2020 through 2021.

LiveWire MSRP is $29,799.

The LiveWire model offers an all-new motorcycling experience – accessible to new riders and thrilling for accomplished motorcyclists.

The LiveWire motorcycle radically alters many of the sensations that have previously defined motorcycling; the H-D Revelation powertrain delivers extreme power in a seamless rush while the simplicity of operation allows the rider to focus more

completely on the real thrill of motorcycling – the dynamic sensations of acceleration and motion.

The instant torque provided by the H-D Revelation powertrain delivers exhilarating acceleration from a stop; the LiveWire motorcycle can rush from 0 to 100 kph in 3.0 seconds and 100 to 129 kph in 1.9 seconds.

Because maximum torque is always on tap, roll-on acceleration for passing from any speed is outstanding.

Electric power requires no clutch and no gear shifting, greatly simplifying operation for new riders.

Riders will also appreciate the braking effect of the power regeneration mode as it adds charge to the battery, especially in urban traffic that often requires a lot of slow-rolling and stop-and-go riding.

The H-D Revelation electric powertrain produces minimal vibration, very little heat, and minimal noise, all of which enhance rider comfort.

When the rider activates the LiveWire motorcycle powertrain, the electric motor

will produce a subtle pulsing of torque, a heartbeat sensation designed to let the rider know the bike has come to life and is ready to ride.

The pulsing ceases when the motorcycle begins to move, and resumes when the motorcycle comes to a stop.

The LiveWire model is designed to produce a mechanical signature Harley-Davidson sound as it accelerates and gains speed; a new sound that represents the smooth, electric power of the LiveWire motorcycle.

Many of the routine maintenance items required of a motorcycle powered by an internal combustion engine are eliminated: there’s no engine oil to change, and no spark plugs, air filter or primary drive to service. Electric power also eliminates maintenance issues associated with ethanol-blend gasoline and off-season storage.

The high-voltage battery has a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty.

The high-voltage battery provides 235 km of city range or 152 km of combined

stop-and-go and highway range. DC Fast Charge technology provides a 0-80 per cent of battery charge in 40 minutes or 0-100 per cent charge in 60 minutes.

The LiveWire is designed to deliver nimble, agile handling for confident control on urban streets and a thrilling ride on curving backroads.

Premium SHOWA® SFF-BP® front suspension matches the performance and adjustability of the rear shock and delivers exceptional lowspeed damping control – ideal for composed control in typical urban riding conditions.

Brembo® Monoblock front brake calipers grip dual 300 mm-diameter rotors and deliver outstanding power with a crisp feel for confident braking performance.

Premium co-branded H-D®/Michelin® Scorcher Sport tires (180mm rear and 120mm front widths) are designed specifically to enhance the handling performance of the LiveWire model.

A 4.3-inch colour TFT touchscreen located above the handlebar offers the rider a wide range of information on a display that’s bright and easy to read.

Seven selectable Ride Modes electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle and the level of RDRS intervention.

A Daymaker® LED headlamp cleanly illuminates the road with brilliant light.

LED signal, brake and tail lamps are bright and conspicuous in traffic.

The LiveWire follows a key Harley-Davidson styling dictum: the focus is on the motor.

Just as the engine is the most eye-catching element – the crown jewel – of every previous Harley-Davidson motorcycle, the H-D Revelation electric motor is the firstlook focus of the LiveWire motorcycle.

Its bright case and mechanical, muscular shape is meant to convey the power it contains.

The cast-aluminum case for the high-voltage battery has been deliberately, highly styled with functional cooling fins that suggest the attractive, repetitive horizontal cooling fins on an aircooled engine.
