Safe, stylish and still bubbly Y

aris Hatch is bursting with funky features and cool technologies.

Great looking and with a bubbly personality to match, it’s not only a fun way to get around, but safe, stylish and fuel efficient too.

Proven Reliability

Every Yaris arrives with the proven reliability of Toyota’s fuel efficient petrol engines on-board. This eager and efficient powerplant features proven technology, such as Variable Valve Timing-intelligent (VVT-i) and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for a better on-road experience. After all, the Yaris might be city-sized, but you don’t want to be just limited to the suburbs for that weekend drive.

Sport Style Detailing

Hop in; it’s easy. And you simply won’t believe you’re sitting in Toyota’s most compact hatchback. The ZR interior boldly follows the exterior sports styling including black and blue textured fabric and a carbon-fibre like dash panel.

Sports style detailing is everywhere inside the ZR’s cabin. A carbon-look instrument panel, ergonomically-designed sports-style seats and a genuine leatherwrapped steering wheel effortlessly extend the mood.

Additionally intuitive controls for the climate control air conditioning in the ZR make adjustment while driving an easy process.

Safe and ready to go

The 5-star ANCAP rated Yaris range gives you peace of mind while you’re out and about getting on with your day. Its standard levels of safety technology have to be seen to be believed.

Standard safety equipment on all Yaris grades also includes Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control. Additionally

if you need to stop in a hurry, Brake Assist and Electronic Brake-force Distribution will help slow you safely.

Noteworthy Navigation and Privacy

The ZR boasts an intuitive Satellite Navigation system which incorporates SUNA Traffic technology*. This provides the driver with real-time traffic data and

alternative route information in order to tackle congestion with confidence.

Privacy glass looks great and is very practical too.

It minimises harmful UV rays and also keeps anything you have stored in your Yaris ZR’s rear seat out of sight when parked in town. *only available in selected regions.

Seriously exclusive

N

ismo have confirmed production of the most expensive and exclusive Nissan GT-R ever will take place in 2019.

Designed in collaboration with Nissan, Nismo and Italdesign, the GT-R50 is described as the ‘the ultimate expression of the GT-R’.

The order book is now officially open for the GT-R50 with production limited to 50 vehicles.

Pricing will start at 900,000 euros (approximately $1,493,000) before taxes and an almost endless list of options or bespoke possibilities.

Nismo have confirmed that customers can expect the car’s exterior to be virtually unchanged from the prototype shown in July at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier year.

Nissan collaborated with Italy-based Italdesign to create the model which commemorates the 50th anniversary of the GT-R production in 2019.

The GT-R50 is based on the Nissan GT-R Nismo and will feature the same hand-built, 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine producing 441kW of power and 652Nm of torque.

While the prototype vehicle was finished in a special gray with gold accents, customers will be able to specify their preferred colour combinations for the production version.

“The reaction from Nissan fans around the world – and potential customers of the GT-R50 – has greatly exceeded our expectations,” said global sports car program director at Nissan, Bob Laishley.

“These 50 cars will be rolling tributes to Nissan’s engineering leadership and rich sports car heritage for a long time to come.”

Uncompromising purity

W

ith development of its new V12 progressing apace the time is right to reveal some closely guarded secrets of the Aston Martin Valkyrie’s extraordinary powerplant.

Developed in conjunction with longtime technical partner Cosworth, the new V12 had to satisfy a simple, yet extraordinary brief: to create the ultimate expression of the internal combustion engine.

The programme called for a normally aspirated engine from the very beginning, for while turbocharging has absolutely come of age and offers significant and widespread benefits – especially in a road application – the greatest driver’s car of the modern era demands an internal combustion engine that sits at the absolute pinnacle for performance, excitement and emotion.

This means the uncompromising purity of natural aspiration.

The resulting engine is an absolute masterpiece.

Displacing 6.5-litres the 65° V12 sets exceptional new standards for maximum rpm and specific output with a certified peak power output of 1000bhp (or 153.8 bhp-per-litre) at a mind-blowing 10,500rpm, before continuing on to a maximum rpm figure of 11,100: figures that are unprecedented for a naturallyaspirated, emissions-compliant road car application.

Peak torque is 740Nm at 7,000rpm.

With these peak outputs purely delivered by the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine), Aston Martin Valkyrie’s performance figures will be further boosted by a battery hybrid system, details of which will be revealed later in the development programme.

Cosworth’s F1 expertise is also evidenced in the Aston Martin Valkyrie engine’s weight, which also set new standards.

The engine is a fully stressed element of the car (remove the engine and there is nothing joining the front wheels to the back!) .

A story that goes full circle Bernard Egan MOTORING

T

hat which was first shall be last.

And that which was last shall be first.

And that’s what this story – the last for 2018 – is about.

Well, sort of.

The first story for this year and this the last story for 2018 have something in common – a fabulous book called We had one of Those!

Just to recant, written by Stephen Barnett, the book was a gift to this writer last Christmas.

Beautifully illustrated using sales brochure artwork, the book recounts New Zealand motoring history covering the period from 1950 through to 1970.

The author is a writer and editor who has an obvious enthusiasm for old vehicles.

Marques from around the world are featured and the book provides a nostalgic look at the cars we saw or drove back then, but which are not seen so often these days.

Back in January this writer made a prediction – “We had one of Those is a much appreciated gift which is going to go on giving for a long time as descriptions and pictures of various cars bring back many pleasant memories”.

A prediction which has proved correct.

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve picked up We had one of Those and enjoyed browsing through it.

And I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve noticed something not previously spotted and the number of times a new fact has been discovered.

Others who have seen the book have also found it fascinating, so I was intrigued when Noel Lowe mentioned the book to me recently.

Not my copy, but one he saw in a bookshop.

And in fact the second version – or if you like in motoring terms the Mark Two model.

It’s a book he’s hoping won’t be in the bookshop for too much longer.

Santa or maybe Audrey please take note!

Or a hint ...

Take it from who knows. this book is a perfect gift and we know Noel’s been a good boy so he deserves it.

All the content of the book appeals to Noel, but it has particular appeal because it features an Austin A40 Devon.

Noel’s own first car was an Austin A40 Devon, which he bought from Autolines.

The salesman at the time was Ray Hungerford and the first owner was local identity Frank McIntosh, of Tekau Knitwear fame.

Noel thinks Frank McIntosh actually bought the car for his daughters.

What prompted Noel to buy his Austin?

He liked the look of that model and at about £500 it fitted his budget back in the late 1950s.

“My Austin A40 Devon was a really good reliable car,” said Noel.

During Noel’s ownership the motor had some work done on it, and Noel tinkered with it too.

The A40 Devon, which was the first postwar saloon produced by Austin, featured a mix of old and new technologies.

It had a 1200cc four-cylinder motor and column change gearshift.

After his tinkering Noel says it would get up to a very respectable speed especially – as he puts it – on a downward gradient with a tail wind.

Noel kept the car until about 1964, the year he and Audrey got married.

They then had a Mini, which cost around £670.

Noel has always liked vehicles and he’s had a few for both for farm and personal use.

All good, some better than others, but his first car the Austin A40 Devon has always stuck in his mind.

Hopefully in the first story for next year we can report that Father Christmas has been good to Noel, which means in the case of this story first has become last and a last will become first.

Alyssa and Keir Dolphin with the fabulous book they and their parents gave their Great Uncle last Christmas. Hopefully Santa will be kind and in the New Year we’ll have a photo of Noel Lowe with a similar book.

H

aving just written a last story for the year which relates to the first story for 2018 brings to mind it was only like yesterday the first story was written.

How quickly the year has gone.

Many readers have as in previous years shared their interests and enthusiasm, provided story ideas and given encouragement.

All of which is hugely appreciated.

THANK YOU.

T

hank goodness our ever obliging sub-editor Steve does not perform performance reviews!

He set a task recently to do some investigation around the model name adopted by Chevrolet for their Corvettes.

Observant Steve noticed sometimes these iconic American sports cars are defined as a Sting Ray (two words) and other times as a Stingray (single word) and he felt we – or more particularly I – should find out why.

At this stage if Steve does decide to conduct a performance review requiring an update hopefully he’ll accept the response “work in progress”.

T

here is plenty of great motoring to look forward to in 2019, including the 2019 Vintage Car Club National South Island Easter Rally.

An enthusiastic organising committee have plans well in hand for this special event, which will attract a lot of people in interesting vehicles to our town.

The rally coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Ashburton Branch of the Vintage Car Club.

A very proud young man with his flash Austin A40 Devon.

Endura a stunner

T

he sporty and finely crafted new Ford Endura – the company’s most technologically advanced sports utility vehicle yet – arrives in New Zealand showrooms February 2019.

Available in stylish Trend, performanceinspired ST-Line and upscale Titanium, the new Ford Endura offers a comprehensive range of Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technologies.

Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 Technologies are a suite of camera- and sensor-based driver assist technologies all designed to give drivers more confidence on the road, be it the driveway or the motorway.

These include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Post‑Collision Braking and Evasive Steering Assist, and Lane Keep Assist enacted via the Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) with pull-drift compensation to keep the vehicle within marked traffic lanes.

There’s also Traffic Sign Recognition as standard to help alert the driver to the local speed limit. The Endura ST-Line and Titanium include Enhanced Active Park Assist.

“With the addition of the new Endura, Ford is offering a complete, no-compromise range of SUVs to fit the New Zealand lifestyle,” said Ford New Zealand Managing Director, Simon Rutherford.

“We’re very excited to add the new Endura to our stable of SUVs; it’s really a rolling showcase of the latest Ford active safety technology as well as fantastic, head turning design.

“It’s a vehicle that has stand out presence on the road and will further impress with its attention to detail inside and out.”

“The new Endura is squarely aimed at customers wanting something a bit more special, a bit more than the usual, yet still retain the pragmatic element,” added Mr Rutherford.

New specification levels

Endura: palatial space The Endura sits on 2849mm wheelbase, enabling one of the most spacious SUVs offered in the Ford line-up; head and shoulder room is greater than any other Ford SUV. Engineers have also focused on comfort in the cabin to ensure offers unmatched levels of refinement.

Rear seat-room is also expansive and behind the rear seats an electronic tailgate gives access to the 800L of stowage space.

The tailgate can be operated by either the key fob or dash-mounted push-button.

The ST-Line and Titanium add the popular hands-free tailgate, allowing another access option with the swipe of your foot.

The Endura’s interior brings not only a high level of content as standard on every model, but a premium ethos at every point.

The 10-way adjustable driver’s seat allows personalised comfort while enabling easy viewing of the 10-inch instrument cluster.

A sweeping centre console crosses to an elegant, space-saving rotary e-shifter and electronic park brake.

The Endura’s 8.0-inch full-colour touchscreen delivers SYNC 3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility through a standard ninespeaker audio system.

Or customers can opt for the Titanium and enjoy a premium 12-speaker B&O Play audio system.

Endura’s SYNC 3 system also includes built-in sat-nav as well as application compatibility with Spotify and Waze.

SYNC 3 also offers a full-colour reversing camera, teamed with front and

rear parking sensors.

Ford MyKey, which enables programmable memory settings including a ‘valet’ mode for peace-of-mind, is also standard with SYNC 3 on Endura.

“The new Endura’s refinement and array of technology, features that previously have been reserved for luxury vehicles, make it an impressive value,” said David Herbert, Ford New Zealand, Marketing Manager, SUVs and cars.

5-Star Safety A suite of seven airbags with an expansive suite of Driver Assist Technology is fitted to every Endura. ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Roll-Stability Control and Post-Collision Braking and Evasive Steer Assist joins Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection as standard across the range.

Clean, Fuel-Efficient Power The 2.0-litre common rail turbodiesel produces 140kW and 400Nm and is fitted exclusively to an eight-speed paddleshift automatic.

Customers can choose from front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive on the entry Trend variant, while all models boast Torque Vectoring Control.

The AWD and FWD powertrains both have a combined fuel figure of 6.7L/100km.

In addition, the Endura has a braked towing capacity of 2000kg with towing

made easier and safer with Trailer Sway Control.

Ford’s Customer Service All New Ford Enduras are covered by Ford’s new five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.

Ford New Zealand has been building a comprehensive after-sales care package since 2016, which already includes highly competitive offerings for customers such as Sat Nav updates, Loan Car, Roadside Assistance extensions when serviced at a Ford dealer, Vehicle Report Cards and Service Price Menus.

The new five-year warranty extends the after-sales care package even further, offering customers additional peace of mind when purchasing a new Ford.

In addition, the warranty has other advantages: • The respective warranty is available across every buyer type/sales type.

• There are no additional qualifications to the original 3 year/100,000 kilometre Ford Express Warranty.

• The 5 years are available “up front” from delivery - It is not a 3+2 conditional warranty.

• The balance of the warranty is fully transferrable with the vehicle.

• All Ford Genuine and Ford Licensed accessories fitted to vehicles prior to vehicle delivery are covered by the same warranty.

The new 2019 Ford Endura is offered in three specification levels: Trend: As befitting the entry model of a premium-derived SUV, the Endura Trend delivers a highly comprehensive list of standard features that includes an outstanding driver assist/safety technology package including Adaptive Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane Keeping System as standard.

ST-Line: The Endura ST-Line provides a sports-inspired experience with its unique sports suspension, distinctive dark 20” alloys, sports body kit and exterior styling cues consistent with the ST-Line DNA. It also features standard equipment like handsfree power liftgate, Enhanced Active Park Assist, ‘Miko-suede’ seats with heated and cooled front seats.

Titanium: As the high series offering, Titanium includes premium content consistent with the series name.

It features plush micro-perforated leather accented seat trim in ‘Ebony’, Dual-panel panoramic power glass roof, adaptive Bi-LED headlamps and heated second row seats.

Passengers in the Titanium will also enjoy the premium sounds of a B&O 12 speaker system.

Exterior highlights • Athletic contemporary styling with Ford-signature trapezoid front grille • Distinctive alloy wheels: 18” (Trend) to 20” (ST-Line, Titanium) • LED headlamps, fog lamps and daytime running lights • Sculpted rear liftgate (handsfree powered on ST-Line and Titanium) • Powerfold exterior mirrors with puddle lamps • Smart keyless entry with push-button engine start • Towbar standard across all models • Dual-panel powered panoramic glass roof (Titanium)

Females on the GIXXER grid

T

he fledgling GIXXER Cup class of motorcycle road-racing picked up where it left off in its inaugural season last year, heralding the start of the 2018-19 season with hot race action on the track an unbridled camaraderie off it.

What these 150cc bikes and novice young riders lack in horsepower and experience, they more than make up for in the thrill stakes and so it proved as the three-round 2018 Suzuki Series kicked off at Taupo’s Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park last Sunday.

Reserved for riders aged between 14 and 21, the GIXXER Cup – with the tagline Growing Future Champions – is a production racing class that provides a springboard towards a successful racing future at higher levels.

All riders are on board identical 150cc Suzuki GSX150F model bikes, making it a level playing field and it is considered an ideal nursery ground for grooming and developing future road-racing stars.

The young riders responded to the GIXXER Cup challenge at Taupo and the racing was extremely tight, dominated by several of last season’s GIXXER Cup stars, sharing the track with a dozen or more fresh faces.

Hamilton’s Jesse Stroud and Taupiri’s Zak Fuller locked handlebars at the front of the pack, and in the end it was Stroud who won the first of the two GIXXER Cup races, crossing the line just ahead of Fuller, although this finish order was reversed in race two.

Two young women have joined the GIXXER Cup for the first time this season, adding to the widespread appeal of the class, Palmerston North’s Sarah Humphrey and Whanganui’s Lucy Dowman relishing the opportunity to mix it with the boys.

The 18-year-old Humphrey, a recent school-leaver who now works at Foodstuffs New Zealand, said she has always had a passion for motorsport in general and always wanted to ride a motorbike.

“Last year I saw the GIXXER Cup and saw there were no females in it, so thought ‘yep, that’s for me’. So, on January this year I hopped on a bike for the first time and I haven’t looked back.

“I had two small crashes on Saturday and I’m a bit sore now, but the injuries are small and it’s nothing that will stop me.”

Dowman (17) said she was encouraged to tackle the GIXXER Cup by the Suzuki dealership in Whanganui and she and her brother, Michael Dowman, both decided to give it a go.

There is little time for anyone to catch their breath because more drama and excitement can be expected at round two at Manfeild Circuit Chris Amon this coming weekend.

The popular three-round summer series will have its traditional public street race spectacular to wrap it all up on Boxing Day around Whanganui’s famous Cemetery Circuit.
