Hodinky 2009: Nad nimiž žena roztává
Přáli bychom si napravit skutečnost, že jsme vždy vrcholné umění časomíry přisuzovali mužům. Jako bychom si mysleli, že ženy nepotřebují mít čas na své straně. A abychom to napravili, vybrali jsme to nejlepší z nejlepšího, které mělo svůj debut na Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie - SIHH 2009. Letošní sezóna již nenese hodnotu dámských hodinek v soutěži o nejvíce karátů, nýbrž se vrací k tradičnímu umění hodinářskému.

2009 Ferrari 599XX
While based on the 599 GTB Fiorano with the same transaxle layout and engine type, this prototype is an extreme track car. Ferrari's engineers have carried out extensive work on the engine's combustion chambers and inlet and exhaust tracts. These modifications, combined with the fact that internal attrition has been reduced and the maximum revs have been boosted to 9,000 rpm, helped achieve the target power output of 700 hp at 9,000 rpm. Particular attention was also paid to cutting the weight of the engine unit components. This was achieved both by optimising forms - as in the new crankshaft - and adopting exclusive materials, as in the carbon-fibre used for the intake plenums. A new gearbox shift strategy cuts overall gearchange times to 60 ms.
