Report


In our group video which is an induction for Porsche Boxster, we think there are lots of challenge through the start of the video till the end. Firstly, from our group meeting we discuss that we need to find a supercar and take a video with an induction however it is very diffcult to find a supercar from the local area. Luckily one of our group member’s friend has a Porsche and allow us to take video with the car. Secondly, when we induce the Porsche, as a supercar there are million of different information from inside the car to outside the car so we need to manage what part of the car we are going to induce and which part of the car we need to record. Lastly the main challenge of this assignment for our group was the video editing because all of our group members have never use any of the video editing software before and it is diffcult to learn and hard to use. As we faced this challenge, we did lots of research from different type of video editing softwares and compare each other to find out which software will be the best to fit in our group video.

The process of creating the video in our group is simple because we have done lots of research how to make a video. First of all, we planned the video with the resouces we have. Also set the approximate time of the video, how many shots do we need to take and is there any backgroud music that we can be able to add into the video. Secondly camera and music recording. Because we do not have a DV so we used iPhone to record our video in this assignment. In this step we took lots of different camera angles to find the best way to record the video and also record the most clearly voice as possible in the video. Lastly is the video editing. We spent most of the time in this step through our group assignment not only because it is new to each of our group members but also it is the most important part in the video. Without a great video editing, the video could not be possible to success no matter how well the video is. In this step we remove all the unwant part of the video, make each of the video in to the correct order and edit them into one video. Also we have disscuss that which part of the video should in our final video and which part should give up so that when the final version of our video came out, all of out group agree the editing and everything in the video.

Our previous assignment for blog was supercar so in this video assignment we are focus on taking video with one of the most famous supcar brands which is Porsche. Supercar is one of the most exciting thing in the world that can make people into crazy special young adult and most of us like reading cars’ report at each different blog and watching car testing in Youtube. So relate to our blog we manage to video Porsche and this is a good experience for our group not only to understand each of the single part in the car but also learn how to record a video and edit the video.

Bentley Continental GT





The Bentley Continental GT Speed will re-establish itself as the British luxury brand’s fastest model when it debuts, appropriately, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in late June.
Bentley’s performance flagship returns as part of the second-generation Continental GT coupe range, surpassing the feats of the last Speed introduced five years ago.
The new Bentley Continental GT Speed accelerates from 0-100km/h in 4.2 seconds and can reach a top speed of 329km/h.
Those figures are derived from an uprated version of the company’s twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 engine, which in the Speed produces 460kW of power and 800Nm of torque. The outputs are superior to the W12 engine in the regular Continental GT by 37kW and 100Nm.
While other Bentley models except the range-topping Mulsanne use a six-speed auto, the Bentley Continental GT Speed’s power is distributed to all four wheels via a new ZF eight-speed automatic transmission featuring closely stacked ratios.
Bentley claims the new Speed also brings a higher level of dynamic ability through its lower ride height and modified steering and suspension.
There should be plenty of grip from the 21-inch wide, low-profile 275/35 Pirelli P-Zero tyres that encase a ‘Speed’ wheel design unique to the fastest Bentley.
The exterior gains a revised front bumper design featuring lower air intakes.
Inside, the Continental GT’s exquisitely crafted interior gets another level of opulence in the Speed with a Mulliner Driving Specification cabin created by Bentley’s renowned coachbuilding division and usually optional rather than standard.

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta




IF WOMEN can justify a new pair of shoes because of how much money they’ve saved, men may have just found the ultimate excuse to buy a Ferrari.
The new F12 Berlinetta unveiled in Sydney today might cost almost $700,000 but it’s actually a bargain.
The fastest and most powerful Ferrari road car ever made is $200,000 cheaper than the previous pinnacle of the Italian sports-car range, the 599 GTO.
The latest Ferrari - air-freighted into Australia overnight ahead of customer previews in Sydney and Melbourne before it jets off to China - has more power than a V8 Supercar.
It can reach 100km/h in 3.1 seconds - the same time it takes most cars to reach 40km/h.

The new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is going fast in more ways than one; it’s sold for 18 months even though supercar sales are on struggle street at the moment.The previous champion Ferrari, the 599 GTO, reached the speed limit in a comparatively tardy 3.35 seconds.
"Our market segment has dropped between 16 and 20 per cent,” says Ferrari Australia general manager Kevin Wall. "Suffice to say the downturn is significant, it’s enough to hurt.”
But Ferrari isn't hurting too much.
"We will deliver between 100 and 115 cars this year … and have just delivered our 1000th Ferrari in Australia in seven years," says Wall, citing the number of sales since European Automotive Importers took over the distribution of Ferrari cars locally in October 2005.
By comparison, it took more than 40 years to sell the first 1000 Ferraris in Australia.
Just 2200 Ferraris have been imported into Australia since 1952 – this year is the brand’s 60th anniversary locally.
The first Ferrari sold here was a "canary" yellow ‘212 Export’ coupe, and it is still in the country – in pristine condition.
Ferrari Australia is hosting potential buyers of the new F12 Berlinetta to VIP previews in Sydney and Melbourne this week, including flying some guests over from mining rich West Australia.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage



Thirty Aston Martin V12 Vantage sports cars, with a combined value of more than $11.5 million, have been recalled in Australia to correct a defect with the vehicles’ tyre pressure monitors.
Sold in Australia between August 1, 2009 and October 1, 2012, the British-built luxury coupes were originally priced at $395,000 and are currently available from $386,892.
The official recall notice for the Aston Martin V12 Vantage published on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) website explains:
“The vehicles have the incorrect software installed in the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
“If the pressure in the front tyres of the vehicle reduces because of a leak or puncture, the TPMS system will not give a warning to the driver until the tyre pressure is 3psi lower than the design specification.
“This may result in loss of control of the vehicle, posing a traffic hazard to the driver and other road users.”

Audi R8

The Audi R8 (Typ 42) is a mid-engine, 2-seater sports car, which uses Audi's trademark quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. It was introduced by the German automaker Audi AG in 2006.
The car was exclusively designed, developed, and manufactured by Audi AG's high performance private subsidiary company, quattro GmbH and is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform. The fundamental construction of the R8 is based on the Audi Space Frame, and uses an aluminium monocoque which is built around space frame principles. The car is built by quattro GmbH in a newly renovated factory at Audi's 'aluminium site' at Neckarsulm in Germany.


Audi AG unveiled the Audi R8 V10 on 9 December 2008. It uses a 5.2 litre FSI engine, based on the unit in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (which in turn was based on the 5.2 FSI V10 as used in the Audi C6 S6 and Audi D3 S8), but is re-tuned to produce a power output of 525 metric horsepower (386 kW; 518 bhp), and generate 530 newton metres (391 lbf·ft) of torque. Compared to the V8 variant, the R8 V10's performance numbers are enhanced. Audi states the new 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0 to 62.1 mph) time as only 3.9 seconds, 60 to 124 miles per hour (97 to 200 km/h) in 8.1 seconds, and a top speed of 317 kilometres per hour (197.0 mph). Other changes to the V10 version of the R8 include some aesthetic differences: such as all-LED headlights (a world-first), interior enhancements such as Bang & Olufsen 465 watt sound system, and a more aggressive body styling, larger rear brakes and unique roadwheels.
It was initially thought that this version of the R8 was going to have the same engine as the C6 Audi RS6, a 5.0 litre V10 TFSI twin-turbo engine, which produces 580 metric horsepower (427 kW; 572 bhp). However, some components of the twin-turbo system overheated, and one prototype was destroyed by fire at the Nürburgring. This model was shown at the 2009 North American International Auto Show.
