Test Drive: Porsche Cayman GTS
The smallest among the Porsche Cayman GTS dominates the road and track without separating them
At the moment, this is the sports version of the mid-engine Porsche. Not the most prestigious car brands, but the most accessible. And the most compact. Cayman, like the old air “nine hundred and eleventh” – a small sports machine. But it is also the most practical, yes, you will not be tempted before the trip “po-nad precipice” stuff “drunken beauties and dashing friends” on the second row of seats, but you will have two boot. One where amateurs searching engine, and the second – from behind the engine and immediately above it. In the rear compartment fit or bag, or even something more serious. Generally speaking, this is the first mid-engine in my memory, which I was able to attach his electric guitar. And you can not worry about it completely: fixes the shutter, and the temperature in the trunk of even the Majorcan sunshine is exactly the same as throughout the cabin. Yes the guitar – there will even mop of IKEA! Is not a strong argument to buy Porsche? Well, or at least “is Porsche Cayman”.
The old fashioned way you can still order the car with the mechanics. I can not imagine anyone is needed: better PDK transmission is no light. Moreover, something better now I can not even imagine – Porsche box is already ahead of most utopian desires. If you do not interfere with her work, you will just see how to switch yourself. And she not only guesses moment she switched most unobtrusive way: fast, but even without shocks and dergotni. In short, PDK combines comfort variator unambiguous reactions mechanics.
Cayman is still restless, like a lizard: a mid korotkobazny Porsche might not be to others. The trick is that while it comfortable. Make tough a track car not a piece of cake, of course, but still it can be many. Some may even make a comfortable car. Simply comfortable. Only Porsche, Ferrari still yes – the only ones in the whole world can do so comfortable to ride all day, and sports so that the whole day to get out to the track. And then again to go through the fields and mountains, knowing that going in the best mood for the best car.
The only area where I would have faked Porsche Cayman GTS - it gave the driver the opportunity to hear the smaller motor at low speed in cruise mode. An hour or two good 5-6 – not quite. However, this problem has a solution. Called Boxster GTS with an open top. Generally speaking, a sport exhaust Porsche Cayman GTS is equipped with a valve, which makes the engine is louder, then quieter depending on how you drive, but we just did not have enough silence. You say – nonsense? And we “did.” What we pay attention to nonsense – no nonsense. It says that everything else is just perfect.
1. WING - Porsche Cayman GTS
appears when aerodynamics is more important than the purity of lines
2. ALCANTARA - Porsche Cayman GTS
and embossed leather – standard. Like “Chronic sport”
3. BLACK MATTE - Porsche Cayman GTS
retouch the body. It is easy to distinguish from S GTS
Porsche Cayman GTS version differs from “simple” S slightly increased power. There are 20-inch wheels on the 911 Carrera S, plus 10 Nm torque. There is a little plastic markers and “GTS”. And the base package, which already have elektrokresla and sports, and the Sport Chrono Package with active supports transmission. This is part of the magic Porsche comfortably in peace and confidence on the track. The database also sports issue, active suspension and PASM, and the system, tire pressure monitoring.
Verdict - Porsche Cayman GTS
In fact, Porsche Cayman GTS – just a luxury sport package in conjunction with a sporty look in the eyes of others: increase power to 340 hp, essentially symbolic. Well, and the Cayman S is amazing and perfect harmonious background on the current road level. It seems so that the change in him something more serious – then spoil.

First time: Peugeot 2008 DKR
A quarter-century Peugeot decided to return to the “Dakar”. With slightly tuned 2008 …
Prior to “Dakar” guessed French. Not surprisingly, since they came up with the Foreign Legion. Romantic conquering deserts them close. “Dakar” and now through the French race. For the night, even in the wilderness, there is always a red wine and cheese.
It would seem that in the “Dakar” should be full of French manufacturers. Once (from 1987 to 1990 minutes, to be exact) Peugeot really was the leader of the grueling two-week marathon in the world. But lately the leaders entirely Japanese and German brands.
“Dakar” – Peugeot 2008 DKR
The next year, things must change, because to participate in the “Dakar” he is ready – Peugeot 2008 DKR. Since 2008, the crossover machine does not have anything in common. Except all-wheel drive: it is not present at that, nor another. Yes, looks can be deceiving: the participant of “Dakar” RWD. Not that it’s unusual for extreme rally since the front axle will be too vulnerable if it lay two responsibilities: to steer and pull. A less tear, the better. But there is another reason for the denial of a full drive.
Mini won the “Dakar” the last three years. Sountryman Team X-Raid-wheel-drive, diesel and neubivaemye like toy dump. And in the “Dakar” survivability is vital. “When our opponent was Audi, we did the same thing – says the boss of motorsport in Peugeot Bruno Famenne. – But we do not want to copy what they do, we want to go the other way. “
Rear-wheel drive is beneficial for Peugeot 2008 DKR, as the race organizers want to stop lead-wheel drive cars. “The two driving wheels in the” Dakar “three benefits – continues Famenne. – Less weight, more suspension travel, and you can change the tire pressure, without leaving behind the wheel. ” The last point greatly saves time on stage, where the sand and stones replace each other. In addition, gasoline car with a driving axle allowed more capacious fuel tank (as much as 700 liters), and they have the right to develop 100 more strength than all-wheel drive. However, we do not know whether DKR gasoline.
Secret project – the technical details will manifest no earlier than July. But do not expect that the engine will be in any way similar to road engines Peugeot. On the Mini Countryman are three-liter twin-turbo diesel from BMW, Peugeot but not generous Papic with powerful units. The company itself has developed a diesel V12 for “Le Mans” and the 875-horsepower 3.2-liter V6 to 208 T16 Pikes Peak. Maybe last just fit.
Modified for maximum traction and resource V6 may be out of place. Running skeleton and DKR also completely unique. He has a tubular space frame and a special suspension with twin shock absorbers in a circle. No, do not expect a civilian version will not. If Peugeot 2008 DKR could not give us a real hot hatch for all those years that he was involved in the WRC, it is unlikely that we will get stuffed 2008 for fighting with the Audi RS Q3 or Mercedes-Benz GLA 45 AMG.
The project will be done entirely by the company. The French will not give up his car in the wrong hands. Peugeot Sport designs, assembles and tests Peugeot 2008 DKR. This is the same team that worked on the T16 Pikes Peak, 908 Le Mans and rally WRC. Team working mechanic who remembers the era of glory Peugeot 2008 DKR “Dakar”.
Already known pilots. Veteran rally, multiple winner Carlos Sainz, who is now 52. Too old, you think? Nothing like that. “Dakar” – is primarily experience. Neither pilot under 30 did not win this race. Never victory lacked newbie here nobody lucky the first time. “Dakar” too hard and heavy. Need a cool head and a great experience.
Peugeot starts all over again, but the team experienced pilots crept: Carlos Sainz (above) and Cyril Despres (left) for two 21 race. Bruno Famenne (right) – the head of Peugeot Sport. It is mandated to bring the company to its first victory since 205 T16 Grand Raid and 405 T16 Grand Raid leaders in “Dakar”
Another pilot never participated in a rally car. Cyril Despres won the “Dakar” five times, but on a motorcycle. Now the Frenchman (tick puts more) peresyadet into the car. Think hard? But in the “Dakar” long and do so with great success. Great example – Stephane Peterhansel, the first pilot Mini and 11-time winner of the “Dakar”. Famenne Bruno explains, “80% of management skills and a car and a motorcycle are similar. In the “Dakar” is important to look where you’re going and not rush headlong. Although the race has changed. In South America, it’s different: there “Dakar” is more like a big WRC, and in this we are more spice. ”
So what are the goals Peugeot puts on next January? “It’s simple. Even in a challenging race our goal – to win. “

Review of the movie "Guardians of the Galaxy"
Peter Quill ( Chris Pratt ) was a boy kidnapped from Earth by space pirates. Now he galactic adventurer earner and unique artifacts. During the execution of the next job, Peter finds a mysterious sphere, which also hunt for interstellar criminal gangs. As for his “exploits” Quill goes to prison, he conspires with several prisoners to escape together and sell the artifact for a dizzying amount. But as soon as the conspirators – Peter, a cyborg assassin Gamora ( Zoe Saldana ), bleary-eyed warrior Drax ( Dave Bautista ), humanoid tree Groot and Rocket Raccoon reasonable – find out what secret hiding sphere, they realize that fate has given them, the criminals, the chance save the galaxy from obsessed fanatic Ronan ( Lee Pace ).
Studio Disney created “Guardians of the Galaxy”
Studio Disney bought “Star Wars”, but it does not mean that she does not want to tell any other cosmic history. On the contrary, disneevtsy have high hopes for “galactic” offshoot universe Marvel, and they have invested a tidy sum in the shooting and promotion of “Guardians of the Galaxy” – no direct relation to the previous Marvel superhero tapes eponymous comic book adaptation, which has been published since 2008. However, George Lucas can sleep peacefully – to his first trilogy of “Guardians” away.
Why? Because the “Guardians of the Galaxy” – not so much “space opera” as a fantastic comedy with stunning soloist in the face Rockets. Advertising campaign movie always put a raccoon to the fore, and it did not disappoint – Rocket really excellent. Exceptionally believable animated creature that simultaneously indomitable warrior, ingenious mechanic and troll level 80 in the spirit of Dr. House – the pantheon of science fiction movie characters just added contender for the top of the charts! Rocket is so good that the film is worth seeing just for the sake of fun of him and with him.
On the other Guardians, however, are not. Peter Quill is much better than you would expect, when it was announced that the hero of the sitcom ” Parks and Recreation “character to play,” like Han Solo, “but with all due respect, Pratt still not Harrison Ford , and he does not look to the end convincingly when not hohmit not fooling around and shoot enemies. In turn, destroyed Drax confronts viewers uncomfortable question: “Can I laugh at the hero who either autistic, or mentally retarded?” And silent Groote is the “god from the machine” and the end of the film shows many different wood superpowers, it becomes annoying and tiresome. Finally, Gamora suffers from severe “syndrome cool chicks, which appears in the film only because in this movie should be a cool chick.”
Duller Gamora only her evil adopted sister Nebula, sick “syndrome cool chicks, which appears in the film only because someone has a climax fight with positive cool chick.” Poor Karen Gillian ! How it is alive and vibrant in the TV series ” Doctor Who “, so she dead and pale (in all senses of the word) in the” Guardians of the Galaxy. “
Villains picture is only slightly better. Ronan looks sternly and waving hefty hammer, but it is tedious, monotonous and devoid of intellectual flair that distinguishes these supervillains. Plus, as in the case of Gillian, makeup hid Lee Pace expressive face under a thick layer of makeup, and actor plays only half of its capacity. Compare with Ronan peysovskim Thranduil of ” The Hobbit “and you will immediately feel the difference.
In turn, the pirate Yondó ( Michael Rooker from ” The Walking Dead “), a little too quickly over to the side of good and rushes to risk their lives for the sake of the planet of their enemies. Moreover, he coolest and unusual weapon in the film, which is clearly not worth it spend on a secondary character, and pass to someone of the main characters, wielding swords and blasters trivial. And so at Yondó hardly the only haunting battle scene in the whole picture. Although the action in “Guardians” at every step.
Generally, the scenario in the movie misses so much that they do not have time to notice. This is not a problem for ironic comedy, which the picture, as already mentioned, basically is. But “Watchmen” want to be not only a chain hohmit but pretentious superhero epic – and pull over whenever include “serious” speed. How do you, for example, the fact that the entire cosmic army planet Xander hardly constrains ship Ronan, a fanatic of the Cree people? After all, the film follows that the total force and the Cree ksanderiantsev approximately equal (otherwise the war between them was hundreds of years without apparent victory of one party), and this means that a single battleship enemy army must be Xander one bite. Approximately one Nazi tank regiment for the entire Soviet army. And why ksanderiane Ronan attack only when it enters a piece of plate in their atmosphere? They are too advanced nation not to have long-Alert system.
And so on and so forth. The movie is not well thought out to impress the hardcore fans of space fiction, who have eaten the dog on the discussion much more subtle blunders than “none of the police after his arrest, the heroes did not bother to search their belongings and ask what a strange sphere them with me.” But the characters are not delayed by five minutes, and was arrested, convicted and jailed for trafficked to another planet! And in all that time only attracts attention brought from Earth with a cassette player Peter “super sounds of the 1970s.” Unthinkable!
Verdict “Guardians of the Galaxy”
And by the way, about the “super sounds.” This is another problem of the film, this time only significant other countries in the early 1980s were not in the American cultural orbit. Wow, that sounds old film music, and well, that the “Guardians” is a joke, lined up, for example, around the story ” Free (Futluz). ” But who are we in love with music and those who know by heart in Russian cinema, glorified Kevin Bacon ? Unlikely many. A space fantasy, it seems to us, should unite spectators from different countries, and not to divide them into “involved” and “uninvolved”. Especially in the XXI century, when the international audience for Hollywood-more important than ever.

Review of the film "sxtape"
Under the heading “Scary Movie” sxtape we place a review of the horror movies that, for one reason or another have not been put in a film distribution
Young artist Jill ( Caitlin Foley ) and her boyfriend Adam ( Ian Duncan ), passing by the old abandoned hospital stay to examine her – is thought to organize an exhibition of her girls. Innocent sex game ends with one of the chambers that Jill is faced with some supernatural powers, and they will do everything possible so that this story ended as bad as possible.
Two years ago, honored director Barry Levinson , winner of the “Oscar” for ” Rain Man ” and the creator of such distinguished films as” Sleepers “,” Wag the Dog “and” Bugsy , “suddenly made a feint ears and released thriller” Bay “about the blood-sucking parasites, very sad way poisoned the Independence Day holiday residents of a small coastal town. This film went virtually unnoticed in the world and no dividends to its creator has not brought (puzzled critics shrugged and turned away), but now in his footsteps went Bernard Rose . Director he is not so famous, but also not the last – in his filmography is ” Immortal Beloved “of Beethoven performed by Gary Oldman and adaptation of ” Anna Karenina “with Sophie Marceau in the title role. On the other hand, in addition to these academic paintings Rose took another cult ” Candyman “and the thriller with the speaker called” snuff film sxtape”, so that horror themes close to him – and all the more surprising to receive from him is weak, formless mush as ” sxtape. “
As the film “sxtape” was made?
Filmed in the rapidly emerging from the fashion style of “found films” – Adam we see only in the final, to this point, he and his camera (judging by the reflections, are not “phone” and not even an amateur hand, and with a healthy telebanduroy attached thereto mini illuminator) will be our eyes and ears. And here we are dealing with a wacky view of found footage-horror that are not worried about credibility – that no matter what happens, the camera does not put the main character and did not turn off, even during sex.
In the same “Kendimene” Rose frightening atmosphere and suspense – and, admittedly, it is perfectly managed. Directed honestly tries to repeat this number in “sxtape,” but it turns out bad – watching monotonous promenades heroes empty corridors tedious and boring. The most common course of directing – “throw” a noise in the distance, then fall silent heroes and intense stare, listen to how the darkness. A couple of times in the darkness, and the truth is something going on, but in most cases this is just a false alarm – as the story of the boy who cried “Wolf!” Has not been canceled, at some time in these scenes begin to not strain and fall asleep.
In the second half of the film appears in the story a couple of characters – the main characters of friends who join the “fun” in an abandoned hospital, but even then not stop solo Caitlin Foley, actress unusually sunny and expressive. In principle, if the film and travels at the seams, it is only because of her – first she deftly draws an image of a living, charming “Hopper” and then gradually withdraws his heroine in the depths of inexplicable madness. Here is the “inexplicable”, by the way, for the benefit of the film is not – while for the most Folly no complaints, more frequent tantrums are not afraid of her character, and annoying.
Verdict “sxtape”
The ending, as usual in the genre of “found film” does not answer any of the draw while watching the issues, but contains a short ten seconds “bonus scene” with a completely shock nibbles penis during oral sex, for which, as it seems, the film and filmed. Sorry for the spoiler, but such things should know in advance – because this episode was in production obviously cost more than the rest of the film, and he did not tied to the fact that we have shown before. Well, what a nice way to wake up dozing cinema and leave behind a strong impression. But we are not fooled – that bullying, which was until then, we will not forget, do not forgive.
