The Aspid Sports car will be unveiled at the British Motor Show which commences in July. Aspid is the result of a 5-year development program by IFR Automotive. The 2-Seater model is similar to Caterham R500 with a difference that Aspid actually has a roof. Aspid has a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine producing 270 hp or 400 hp with a turbocharged version. Aspid wieghs only 700 kg and has the power-to-weight ratio of 1.75 kg/bhp. The car completes the sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and from 0-100 mph in just 5.9 seconds. The performance stats are very impressive. The maximum speed however is restricted to 155 mph.

Automotive Engineering

Automotive Engineering is a field closely related to Mechanical Engineering and is also available as an internationally recognised and accredited degree program at The University of Adelaide. As an Automotive Engineering graduate, as well as being qualified for employment in many traditional areas of mechanical engineering, you will have the skills necessary to be employed as a specialist in the automotive industry, including major automotive manufacturers and their suppliers as well as motor sports teams and their suppliers.

You will have specialist expertise in power plant (engine and transmission) design, vehicle dynamics, vehicle aerodynamics, CAD/CAM, advanced manufacturing and quality systems and project management. You will work on the design, construction, production and maintenance of automotive components and assemblies in a thriving engineering sector. You may also be involved in automotive project management and motor racing engineering.

All six degree programs at The University of Adelaide involve 4-years of full-time study (including work required to achieve an Honours degree) and all except Sports Engineering and Sustainable Energy Engineering are also offered as 5-year double degrees with Mathematics and computing Science. In addition, a double degree in Science is offered for Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. A double degree with Law (6.5 years), one with Petroleum Engineering, one with Economics and one with Finance (5-years) are available with the Mechanical Engineering program only. The Aerospace, Automotive, Mechanical and Mechatronic degrees and double degrees are all accredited by The Institution of Engineers, Australia and recognised all over the world. The Sports and Sustainable Engineering programs are new offerings in 2008 and will be accredited soon after the first graduates emerge at the end of 2011.

The City of Adelaide has a population of just over one million people. The University of Adelaide is located right in the centre of the City Business and Shopping Area. There are many great things about Adelaide. It has wonderful weather; even in winter there are many sunny days, with blue skies and temperatures around 20 degrees- and it never snows! Although there are some hot days in summer, the humidity is very low, so it is not too uncomfortable. One of the many noticeable things about Adelaide is the lack of traffic jams, and the fast 15 minute drive from the airport to the centre of the city, where The University of Adelaide has its main campus. Adelaide is just one hour away from three famous wine-making areas, where one can sample the great wines free of charge at the cellar doors. Just a few hours north of Adelaide lie the mighty Flinders ranges, with colours that have inspired many famous landscape artists, and which are characterised by numerous lonely water holes and many kilometers of outstanding bushwalking tracks. Australians regard recreation and sport as an important part of life. The number of different recreational activities and types of sporting clubs in and around Adelaide are too numerous to mention. Many of the activities are represented by clubs based at the universities, thus helping overseas students to become involved in local culture and activities.

Adelaide is considered to be the hi_tech capital of Australia, and can offer mechanical, automotive, aerospace, mechatronic, sports and sustainable energy engineers many interesting jobs. Also, current immigration laws have been relaxed for graduates, making it much easier to obtain permanent residence on completion of a university degree.

PPI Automotive Audi R8 Razor GTR

German car tuning specialists PPI Automotive have released their PPI RAZOR GTR version of the Audi R8, and it will premiere at the Top Marques Monaco 2009. A year ago, PPI introduced their R8 RAZOR edition at the Essen Motor Show which had great success. The new GTR model has all the features the R8 RAZOR did, however PPI aimed at tweaking the R8 to get extra performance gains for the GTR version. Some of the new parts they added were a re-engineered supercharger, a ram-charged intake filtering system, and a stainless steel high performance exhaust. The power numbers for this Audi R8 tops out at 580hp at 4,700rpm, and 600Nm of torque at 6,200rpm, which is exceptional for only weighing 1,580kg.
The acceleration for this R8 is amazing, in a mere 3.7 seconds it can reach 100km/h with a maximum speed of 332km/h. This is capable from extensive testing and research performed by PPI Automotive, and with their knowledge they were able to create a true sports car. With their wind tunnel testing and development, PPI was able to enhance the vehicles aerodynamics from the previous R8 RAZOR edition. A specially designed new front bumper with diffuser attached was put in place to reduce lifting forces. Larger air vents to provide cooler air to the radiators were installed, along with new side skirts giving it a sporty look. At the rear, is a special wing that comes with an adjustable Gurney-flap, with a new rear bumper and fenders to allow cooler air to enter the engine bay. Several carbon fiber parts such as a rear diffuser were installed, and it offsets the airflow between the rear wing and newly designed front bumper.
The Audi R8 RAZOR GTR sits on lightweight MAG9 Carbon Fiber forged aluminum PPI wheels weighing in at only 8.8kgs. Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires are found on all fours and measure 255/35 ZR19 in the front and 325/25 ZR20 in the rear. A new braking system made of high performance parts was installed and it can be easily identified by its large 6-piston orange calipers. The interior received several minor upgrades such as carbon fiber throughout to save some extra weight. To name a few, carbon fiber hand-brake lever, door trims and sill protectors, radio and center console trim was all made entirely of carbon fiber.
