KTM: 950 Super Enduro R Erzberg Edition


942 cc displacement, 98 hp, 90 Nm torque and 250/255 mm suspension travel front and rear – these are the ingredients needed to scale the Erzberg in 2009. This year the "iron giant" can be attacked with one of just 100 units of a for this event tailor-made, strictly limited special edition of the 950 Super Enduro R.

The most striking element on the 950 Super Enduro R Erzberg Edition is the solely for this motorcycle created Erzberg graphics. But not just the on the spoiler illustrated trail, which has to be raced in the "Iron Road Prologue" at high speed, strikes the observer’s eye at a glance; in case the owner strives for having a lightweight bike, he simply disassembles the standard mufflers and puts the extra-light Acrapovics on, which belong to the Erzberg Edition as well as handguards protecting the hands of the rider or high-quality carbon covers preventing the ignition cap and the clutch cap from being scratched. Adjustable footrests guarantee each rider an ideal position for chasing the leader’s prologue time and an already quite frequently required bar pad provides protection around the triple clamps. In case the knobs of the standard tires had a hard time on the Erzberg, the rider simply mounts the additional pair of Metzeler Enduro 3 tires in order to proceed the ride on this extraordinary and strictly limited KTM bike.

Everyone who tastes blood right now and desires to have the Erzberg Edition in one’s garage should order the bike with the favoured number (range 1 to 100) latest on February 13th 2009. Following the motto "First come, first serve", this exclusive special edition can be ordered as of now at every authorised KTM dealer.

SSC Announces Electric Powertrain and Ultimate Aero EV Specifications

Shelby SuperCars (SSC) released today the details of its revolutionary All-Electric Scalable Powertrain, the AESP. SSC will incorporate its AESP into thecurrent Ultimate Aero to create the Ultimate Aero EV. Being the "World's Fastest Production Car," SSC decided the Ultimate Aero to be the perfect high visibility outlet to demonstrate the capabilities of its new Green powertrain. Directly following the debut of the Ultimate Aero EV, SSC will conduct a live media event to showcase the capabilities of its revolutionary Green powertrain.

SSC will display its AESP in the Ultimate Aero EV in order to prove that electric-powered vehicles will not only match but also provide more linear power (electric motors have 100% torque at 0 RPM) and overall performance than internal combustion cars. The Ultimate Aero EV utilizes a twin motor AESP producing an astounding 1,000 HP and 800 lb-ft of torque enabling it to rocket to 60 mph in a mere 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 208 mph. Not only does the Ultimate Aero EV have a range of 150-200 miles on a single charge, but SSC's "Charge on the RunTM" onboard charging system allows for full battery recharges in as little as 10 minutes. SSC's 3-speed automatic transmission transfers the Ultimate Aero EV's power to its wheels and achieves electronically controlled shift times of .24 s. The entire AESP is liquid cooled allowing it to run for extended periods of time at peak performance with no overheating issues.

SSC's Green division, SSC Green, Inc., will provide packaged solutions of its AESP to a wide variety of applications ranging from 200 horsepower for economy and midsize cars, to 500 horsepower for light trucks and SUVs, and up to 1,200 horsepower for delivery trucks, heavy-duty equipment, buses and military vehicles.

SSC expects to roll out its first full-scale, pre-production Ultimate Aero EV in second quarter 2009. Ultimate Aero EV deliveries will start as early as fourth quarter 2009. SSC will pursue the title of "World's Fastest Production Electric Car" and conduct a marketing campaign consisting of international motor shows, magazine articles, TV appearances and live media events. Most importantly, SSC will conduct a live media event at one of America's superspeedways to prove its claims. During this event SSC Founder and Lead Designer, Jerod Shelby, and notable guests will drive laps at high speed pitting only to demonstrate the quick recharge times.
