2011 Startech Range Rover Sport Facelift rears its head
The Exclusive STARTECH Program for the MY 2010 Facelift Generation of the Range Rover
The Range Rover continues its successful run in re-engineered form. For owners of the British SUV looking for maximum individuality STARTECH offers an extensive product portfolio for both versions.
Range Rover or Range Rover Sport: The STARTECH designers have developed sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement components for both body styles of the SUV. Both front components lend the 4x4 a more striking and dynamic face and reduce lift on the front axle at high speed. Both versions feature stylishly integrated LED daytime running lights that add considerably to the level of active safety.
The thrilling STARTECH design vocabulary continues in the rear components tailored to the specific body style. Like their counterparts in the front they perfectly combine form and function: Most Range Rover models are equipped with a trailer hitch which is covered up beautifully by the STARTECH rear apron. The apron features an integrated flap that pops in or out in one motion to give quick access to the detachable hitch. Exhaust tip moldings stylishly integrated into the lines of the rear apron are yet another striking detail. They are connected to the factory exhaust system.
STARTECH Monostar IV light-alloy wheels with a diameter of 22 inches play a large role in the striking looks of the STARTECH versions of the MY 2010 Range Rover. The five-spoke wheel design features a striking combination of charcoal-gray and polished surfaces. The size 10Jx22 wheels are mounted with high-performance tires in size 295/35 R 22 front and back.
The STARTECH team also demonstrates lots of ingenuity in the interior. An ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel, available in a variety of material and color combinations, is part of the product lineup as are exclusive accessories such as stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated STARTECH logo, high-quality floor mats with color-coordinated leather borders, and aluminum pedals.
To complement the factory leather interior of the Range Rover STARTECH offers front and rear inside door panels in all factory leather colors. Special contrast-colored cords create an especially customized appearance.
Requests for even further personalization are fulfilled by the company upholstery shop. The shop creates complete interiors made from a number of choice materials in any color and design imaginable and will even include the headliner upon request. Also available are exclusive precious-wood trim sets. Innovative bleaching and staining techniques allow customers to choose perfectly matched or interestingly contrasted wood colors with various surface finishes.
The choices are practically endless: The lineup ranges from a simple upgrade of the factory wood trim in the form of a color-coordinated precious-wood molding for the center console to complete interior trim sets in any desired wood grain or made from genuine carbon fiber. The same variety is available for the electrically deployed STARTECH tables in the rear, which can also be upholstered with leather instead.
At the ESSEN MOTOR SHOW 2010 STARTECH presents the Range Rover with an especially exclusive yachting-design precious-wood trim package. All wood inlay elements of the production interior are replaced by trim made from dark-brown Wenge wood with beige separating layers. The result is a wood interior that looks like the kind of wood used on a high-end yacht. To create this look countless individual pieces were assembled with the watchmaker precision. All wood elements have an open-pore matte finish but are varnished in accordance with the latest automotive guidelines.
Upon customer request STARTECH can transform any Range Rover model into an exclusive office on wheels or into a rolling multimedia lounge with state-of-the-art communication technology

MOTORCYCLE REVIEW : Kawasaki Z1000SX 2010
Loosely based on Kawasaki’s excellent Z1000, the SX fits snugly in to the gap between said naked bike and the track orientated ZX-10R, making it a grown-up bike for the real world. The near 140bhp inline four motor gives sporting potential, but creature comforts like a new seat, vibration reduction and additional fairing make it a viable long-distance touring bike. For many riders this is the all round bike they’ve been waiting for - practical and fun at the same time, and far more eye catching than the competition too.

It’s the same 1043 inline four cylinder engine from the Z1000. Thankfully Kawasaki haven’t de-tuned the engine or water downed any of the fun factor, so you still get a claimed 138bhp. But its not all about peak power - there is real usable grunt from as little as 4000rpm and a lovely spread of mid range grunt. Towards the top of the revs there's a nice little kick at 7,000, which adda a bit of zest. Fuelling is excellent - one of the best motors around at the moment combining real world usability and top end rush.

Like the Z1000, the SX features a horizontal rear shock and the 41mm inverted fully adjustable forks. But because the SX is 10kg heavier than the standard Zed, the suspension has been altered to compensate for the extra bulk, rake is also a fraction less. Considering the bikesn weight, it can be hustled along with ease, even offering loads of confidence at peg scraping angles of lean. It's always secure and planted and the larger, more touring oriented seat offers more comfort for both rider and pillion.

Kawasaki have tried to make the SX as sporty as possible to attract sports bike enthusiasts. They’ve done this by giving the bike a sporty dash, but it lacks touring credentials and it's not adjustable from the handlebar, like say a BMW for example. The screen can only be adjusted manually too. However, the SX does boast radial brakes, petal racing discs, multi-adjustable suspension and sexy quad exhaust cans. The SX also features a larger fuel tank than the Zed - up in capacity from 15 litres to 19 litres.Compare and buy parts for the Z1000SX in the MCN Shop.

Maybach cars pictures and review
The car's design was the result of a competition amongst students at the Pforzheim Polytechnic Department of Transport Design, which has worked on show vehicles for Fulda in the past. The design of 24-year-old Fredrik Burchhardt was chosen, and his work was co-ordinated with that of the Maybach design centre in Sindelfingen. The project, based on the Maybach 57 limousine, required a certain amount of re-engineering; the A-pillar and doors had to be shifted rearwards, and the steering column, pedals and gearshift all re-located. The standard 550bhp V12 engine was bored out to 5.9 litres, and tuned for 700bhp and over 738lb ft of torque. With final dimensions of 5890mm long, 2140mm wide and just 1390mm high, the car was kitted out with a full-spec interior, including leather, neoprene, aluminium and carbonfibre finishes.
Maybach says the car, built by Stola in Turin, is "a one-off vehicle created to showcase the new ultra-high performance Exelero tyre range from leading tyre manufacturer Fulda"; it's not the first time the two companies have teamed up, as back in 1938 Fulda demonstrated its tyres on a Maybach SW 38 limousine. There are, however, "no plans to produce the model in series", though it has been certified for on-road use.
