VIDEO: The mystery of hot press forming unveiled





You know how Proton keeps talking about hot forming press, well this video shows us is what it looks like, the die-cut steel are heated to about 900 degrees Celsius before it is placed in a stamping machine. The die are water cooled to about five degrees celsius and this allows the metal to be quenched or rapidly cooled and in the process, the molecules bond more tightly and adhere to the new shape. This makes the stamped part three times stronger.....

We may get to see Proton's own automated hot press forming line in Tanjung Malim soon....we are working on it... but for now watch this video

What we have here is a series of short videos with Dr Wolfgang Eppel, Senior Director (Quality) at Proton,  He was BMW's quality man and overlooked the development of the E39 5-series and E-90 3-series so he knows a bit or two about car quality.

Many people believe that the Boxster is the ultimate driver's convertible but Audi wants to challenge that with the R8 Spyder. British magazine Evo had the opportunity to pit these two deliciosu convertible and find out which is more capable of pleasing the driver.

From the sound of the chase car's stressed engine note, it appears that the P3 was driving at quite a clip and could have easily dumped the chasing vehicle. After all it has a 1.6-litre turbo engine under the bonnet.

VIDEO: Birth of a beauty: Stancework's Vintage Series alloys

A nice set of alloy wheels can make a huge difference to a car's character, it's the one item you can bolt on to a car to alter it's stance and attitude to suit the owner's character.

The 501 Vintage series is a nice wire- spoke replica that would make any car look elegant.

The video (after the break) shows how the wheel is manufactured, from CNC machining to polishing and finishing.

VIDEO: Big, brute Jensen FF meets Ferrari FF

No, not this one, the one below...
I love the Jensen Interceptor, the FF is simply an all-wheel driver version of the Interceptor, which predates the Ferrari FF by about 40 years.

The Jensen FF was probably one of the first all-wheel drive super GT with genuine four-seater configuration.

This is certainly an interesting video, if nothing but to find out if 40 years has made a huge amount of difference to the driving pleasures of a large all-wheel drive Super GT.

Perhpas this proves that there is really nothing new in the world just newer versions of everything.

Of course it has, you Buerke...
