Jaguar XKR-S VS Maserati GT MC

This confrontation, both sides represents the pinnacle elm327 of their respective brands, regardless of performance, speed or price, in the Jaguar and Maserati respective active-duty models, you could not find which one can be more than XRK-S or GT MC Stradale products. The basic section of the XK and GT maybe some similar, but moving in different directions the continuous improvement of the results of these two character totally different product. The XKR-S is the fiercest ever production Jaguar, it can defeat the most brutal version of the Maserati GranTurismo?
Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale
Advantages: strong brakes, excellent balance, exciting sound. Disadvantages: daily driving gearbox shock.
The advantages of the Jaguar XKR-S: the ubiquitous power, comfort, practicality, charming steering characteristics. Disadvantages: the brakes need to be strengthened.
Jaguar or a GT, the XKR-S inherits all the advantages of this series: compact chassis, obedience compartment is very refined ride performance is also very reasonable. But it's exciting dynamic performance than ever, the pressure more acceleration, the sound is more resonant and manipulation was also superior. But the edge in the limit, Jaguar only in a relatively short period of time to maintain the best condition, the brake will soon begin to smoke, the tires will overheat, transmission may also enter protected mode. Maserati does not, the design of MC deny a lot of day-to-day, open the face of large traffic jams will definitely feel the anguish, but the hurricane when it gives the driver to bring a richer and more lasting pleasure it balance better steering, braking rock-solid, driving the faster transmission of response more to stimulate the car with a rich, ultra-running characteristics, so more needs to be careful to take care of and use. So Jaguar for more people, and Maserati is even more exciting!
This confrontation, both sides represents the pinnacle of their respective brands, regardless of performance, speed or price, in the Jaguar and Maserati respective active-duty models, you could not find which one can be more than XRK-S or GT MC Stradale products. The basic section of the XK and GT maybe some similar, but moving in different directions the continuous improvement of the results of these two character totally different product. Jaguar upgrade work around power expand the power level from the ordinary version of the 510-hp and 625 Nm Métis rose to 550 horsepower and 680 Nm, which it completed to accelerate from standstill to 100 km / h time from the 4.6 seconds down to 4.4 seconds; In addition, the speed also broke the 300 km / h mark. With the power level to enhance the appearance of the car than the general section looks powerful. The new aero package so that it looks wider than the original, which also effectively reduces the car's visual center of gravity. The engine compartment lid and in the front air dam on both sides of the cooling channels people think this car would like to make better use of every trace of air hitting the front.
To cope with this visual effect, the XKR-S tail fitted with a bigger way, diffuser, really want to make the components play a role Jaguar chassis and then reduced by 10-20 mm, but this car is full of flavor components matched with four exhaust effect, certainly make the road with the drivers in the car behind heart envy. However, throughout the design and performance of the most closely related to changes in the 20-inch Vulcan forged wheel, original lighter wider, stiffer, with the hardness enhance 28% of the front and rear suspension and re-set ESP software, Jaguar claiming that this is also the fastest production model ever on the history of the brand the best driving performance a.
However, improved, Maserati is clearly more concerned about the driving experience. MC Stradale name or in substance, and the car is closely related to its power to enhance the rate is very small, power and torque than the ordinary version of the sport more than 10 horsepower vas 5054a and 20 Nm, 450 horsepower and 510 Nm m The power level is clearly not a small gap, but 4.6 seconds 0-100 km / h acceleration results and 301 km / h top speed down and Jaguar XKR-S. But the core of the improvement of the car are not in the straight-line racing to be fully reflected.
MC 6-speed sequential gearbox to replace the sporty six-speed automatic transmission, and placed in the rear axle instead of the original engine back-end, these changes allow the car's front axle load is slightly lower by 0.5% 48.5%: 51.5% before and after weight both to ensure better steering performance, but can also provide more adhesion to the rear wheels in hard acceleration. In addition, the car's suspension tuning than the Jaguar in a more thorough, it does not use the electromagnetic shock absorber in the critically acclaimed Ferrari 458, but transplanted directly on a single brand racing products, stabilizer bar the diameter increased, and now it's front and rear suspension hardness, respectively, had increased by 16% and 32%. MC also has a specially designed forged alloy wheels and matching larger tires, but the MC is equipped with the ordinary than the XKR-S Pirelli P-Zrero more high-end semi-competitive products, the higher its viscosity, of course, the shorter life expectancy . And only this tire can give full play to the amazing power of the Tao carbon fiber provided by Brembo braking system, the MC who brakes are standard configuration, while the Jaguar traditional steel brake discs.
This is not the first time I test drive the MC, a few months ago, I had it conducted a comprehensive test, but to see it again when I still sincerely feel that it is a stunner. GranTurismo is already very beautiful, more aggressive grille and integrated into the overall exhaust rear to make it more hot. Front lip design will undoubtedly affect their daily (mean daily front lip and the ground bump at least three times), but it does let the GT from a conservative career women suddenly become a supermodel of Victoria's Secret show Moreover, it can be in the high-speed driving and violent braking to the front to bring more pressure, then who cares?
The last test drive it, I also wore a thick down jacket, and today before I go out once hesitated in the end to bring the jacket, so Tao carbon braking device requires a warm-up problems disappeared. 4S shop and meeting place between a boring urban freeway. Driving most of the comfortable orientation of the car in such a way cruising, the key to driving pleasure is the music in the radio sounds great, but driving this car do not need music, because it is itself an instrument, but only if you must Press the "RACE" button on the center console to activate the exhaust system, and then played on opening. Jaguar should be faster in everyday driving, but a broader rev range of the MC engine provides a very rich layering of tone change the speed limit of more than 8000 rev / min, near the red line to feel very exciting.
XKR-S is very different from its supercharged V8 engine in the very low-key day-to-day driving and active sports exhaust only when the throttle in order to provide a decent response. But it really is much faster, leading the magnitude of the absolute than the written data is much larger. Jaguar start assist device without intervention, speed gear set, we can provide endless thrust, as long as you dare to step on the gas, it can put your head always firmly in the back of the Recaro seats. Not to a 2004 World War II, we can Volvo VIDA DiCE know that the Jaguar to take the lead in a straight line.
