Opel GT Evolution, 1972, by Lumma. The German tuner made numerous body kits for the GT including a targa roof and gullwing door versions. It's not clear how many were sold. The car was also fitted with Opel's 3.0 straight 6 engine

A Night In Tokyo With Mick Schumacher and A Mercedes 190E Evo II

Driving around Tokyo is daunting. With no centre or suburbs, its road network is huge, spiralling, occasionally latticed and sometimes subterranean. At times, even Mr Roboto in the satnav gives up and shrugs directions your way. Which has happened. Meaning I'm lost while leading Mick Schumacher (behind the wheel of a stunning Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II) through Japan's neon-lined labyrinth. It's a hot, humid evening and Mercedes F1's reserve driver (and son of iconic seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher) is cutting the perfect shape of a 90s boyband member. Where I'm perspiring like a burst pipe, he palms back his blonde curls and looks effortlessly cool in his loose-fitting, oversized Tommy Hilfiger contractual clobber. Sartorially, it couldn't be more of a perfect fit for the car he's driving. Born out of German touring cars, the Evo II is a deeply lustworthy, boxy and bewinged sports saloon. With a revvy, induction-tastic 232bhp four-cylinder engine mated to a dog leg close-ratio five-speed manual, rear-wheel drive and aero appendages that get petrolheads salivating, it's a proper tip one's hat 'if you know, you know' car. Mercedes only built 502 of them (as per DTM's homologation rules) out of some 1.9 million W201 models that it's based on, so they're properly rare beasts. The fact we've got a quadruplet of Evos following Mick makes the situation we're in a bit more mind-blowing. But that's the plan. We wanted to give Mick an evening to remember, to take him away from the repetition and rigmarole of modern media junkets. We don't want to know where he keeps his ketchup, or when the last time he thought of the Roman Empire was. We want to indulge his love for cars.

"I went looking for an Evo II to buy but decided against it… for now," Mick says in his soft, geographically hard to place international accent. "It's a beautiful car and has huge sentimental value to me, the main reason being that my dad had one as a company car when he was a Mercedes junior. He spent a lot of time doing lots of laps on the Nordschleife with Heinz-Harald Frentzen. I remember within a month they had to change the brake pads and things with the engine. So it's an emotionally important car to me." Growing up in Gland, Switzerland, Mick struggles to pinpoint exactly when he got bitten by the road car bug. "Honestly, I don't really know where I got into them. Driving them around the property as a child was a big factor. The first time I had a steering wheel in my hand from a road car was maybe four or five years old, on my dad's lap. I got to drive very nice cars, very soon and very early. I guess it just grew naturally. Especially when I turned 18; then it really turned into an obsession." Raised on a healthy diet of racing, the Fast and Furious franchise and gaming, Mick picked up a penchant for JDM cars by proxy. "I just love how raw and simple they are," he says. "I enjoy playing around with them, changing stuff, tuning them and making them more fun to drive." Knowing this, we head out of Tokyo towards Chiba to meet Japan's most inconspicuous bad boy: Kazuhiko 'Smokey' Nagata. Tobacco and turbo enthusiast Smokey is one of Japan's legendary tuners. He and his company Top Secret have modified every generation of Nissan GT-R, including an R33 Skyline GT-R that managed 0–186mph in 17 seconds at Yatabe test track and 204mph in Tokyo's famous Aqualine tunnel. Like Smokey, Mick is also a GT-R fanboy, with some tucked away in a shed at home, including his R34 drift car.

"I've really got into drifting. As an F1 driver, drifting, or oversteer, is the opposite of what you want to do, but if you control it and have the feel for it, it can really help you. So I took the step of saying 'I want to try it' after the 2019 Race of Champions skill race. I was quite good, finishing second against rally drivers and everything, so I thought, 'Okay, maybe I should try this a bit more,' so I got my own car and started enjoying sideways. I love the sensation of connecting turns and being in a difficult situation, because obviously the car is upset, to then be able to control it. I think that's what's so intriguing. It's a good feeling." Mick's curiosity and JDM love resonates as he wanders around Smokey's GT-R littered shop. Not being able to speak Japanese, Mick uses international hand signals for car nuts to explain various car parts, gets out his phone to show Smokey his cars before stumbling upon Smokey's VR32 GT-R (an R32 with all the mechanics and interior of the R35 transplanted) and trying to find a way to import it into Switzerland. But we've got no time for this, as we've got the legendary Bayshore Route to hit and a car meet to get to. For someone so young, 24-year-old Mick is at a rather quiescent point in his career. Having had a triumphant run in his youth coming second in karting in the World, European and German Junior Championships, then switching to Formula 4 in 2015 and finishing second overall in both the German and Italian F4 championships, before becoming European Formula 3 Champion in 2018 and FIA Formula 2 Champion in 2020, Mick made it to the big leagues and bagged himself a seat in F1 with Haas. It wasn't easy. In 2022 Mick lost his seat after a difficult second season that saw him struggle to match teammate Kevin Magnussen for form. He recorded a best finish of sixth in Austria, one of two points finishes during the season, but it was not enough to save his seat. For 2023, Mick dropped his Ferrari junior ties and linked up with Mercedes (the last team his father raced for in F1), picking up the role of reserve driver.

"Being a reserve driver gives you tremendous insight, especially at Mercedes," Mick says. "I miss driving, I'm not going to lie, but the main thing I've learned since moving from Haas to Mercedes is how the team operates, the tools they have, how they use them and the communication. They're big learning points. It has opened my eyes in a lot of ways and has made it clear why Mercedes is as successful as it is. The worst part is sitting in the garage and seeing everybody drive out and do what you love to do." Part of Mick's remit is to join Mercedes trackside at all F1 race. That's how we're able to blat around Tokyo for a night before he heads to Suzuka to support the team. But time in Merc's state-of-the-art sim back in Brackley is also key. Mick was praised by Mercedes' technical director James Allison for a 2 am shift he did during the British GP weekend, turning the car's "woeful" one-lap pace on Friday into a competitive car and set-up for Lewis Hamilton and George Russell to compete with during quali and the race on Sunday. With every mile behind the Evo II's wheel, Mick's smile grows to match the width of its monstrous rear wing, especially when he realizes it shoots flame on the overrun after a 7,600 rpm toll booth roll out. We cross over to Yokohama and swirl down a concrete pillared plughole, arriving in an unsuspecting parking lot that doubles up as the epicentre of cool Japanese car culture in Japan: Daikoku PA. Mick, having never been to a car meet before, has his eyes widened. Even though it's a school night, the place is pumping. Mick walks around curiously, showing his girlfriend, Danish model Laila Hasanovic, Veilside-kitted Mazda RX-7s, how riveted wide arch Liberty Walk bodywork hangs from an R35 GT-R for the ultimate kerbside stance, and the extended provenance from the flood of awesome, rare Mercedes (including the original 190E Evo I, an AMG-clad W124 and a custom Cosworth 2.5 boasting Penta wheels and Brabus brakes) that are all parked honourably in their uniform herringbone bays. As Mick gets under the bonnets and kindly signs carbon airboxes for marginally hysterical owners, I wonder if he's handy with the spanners.

"I wish I was," he says, "but I don't have the time. I'm starting to bring more of my cars over to my place so that I eventually will be able to work on them myself and change things that I want to change. Currently, I am very good at taking things apart… maybe less gifted at putting them back together." But since the meteoric rise of social media and documentaries like Netflix's Drive to Survive, racing drivers' personalities have been mainlined into public consciousness. Nowadays, it appears drivers' human interests need to be put on display like the plastic dishes outside Daikoku's service station restaurant windows. Yet here, tonight, Mick seems completely at home and relaxed. "It's risky because I feel like I'm a very private person. I like my privacy. Sometimes when you get people wanting to know more, they get a bit too snoopy. I feel it should be my choice how much I share, and what I share, not people trying to figure that out for me." In this job you get to sniff out the car nuts from the blaggers, and Mick's passion is palpable. It's refreshing to see, and a welcome break from the headlines and hearsay currently surrounding him given he's caught in a gloopy limbo where F1 politics, money and raw talent are all currently fighting each other to work out where he'll race next.

As I type, Mick's currently linked with an LMDh drive with Alpine in next year's World Endurance Championship, a move Mercedes F1's big boss Toto Wolff is fine with, as Mick is "part of the family" and "will always have a home." Mick's tone becomes more forlorn when talking about the future, obviously having had a tough few years and aching to get back into an F1 car. I wonder if it takes its toll, and how he pushes through in times of uncertainty. "Having the right people around you," he says. "You need to try and be mentally in the right space and try and get the best out of the situation so that you can, whenever it's necessary, be in the position that you can jump in and be ready to go." After an evening with Mick, you can't help but wish him the best of luck. If all else fails, he could always lean into drifting and see where that takes him. Sideways Schuey. Has a good ring to it, doesn't it?

Ralliart tuned street version EVO. Tommy Makinen TM-V4

Lancer Evolution TM-V4

Ralliart fine changes EVO.

For a stronger evo

Numb!!!

Report/ Motonobu Takehira

Based on the Lancer EVO 6 Tommy Makinen Edition, a model tuned by Ralliart incorporating sports parts has appeared. That is the TM-V4, a street model based on the GSR, equipped with plenty of Ralliart sports parts and aiming for further improvements. Not a so-called complete car. Instead, it will be a tuning model that incorporates parts developed by Ralliart.

First of all, looking at the exterior, the side aero spoilers, which are larger than the normal ones, are noticeable, but the rest of the car doesn't look any different from the normal ones. Isn't it?

The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 235/40ZR18. This is expected to increase the potential of exercise performance on winding roads.

If you look at the cockpit, you won't feel any difference from the normal one, but the 300km/h scale white triple meter, Carbon look panel on centre console and polyacetal shift knob increase rally mood.

Suspension is equipped with a shock absorber that can adjust the damping force (4 levels), and a vehicle height adjustment type with series springs (5 kg for both front and rear). It has aluminum tower bars on the front and rear. The brakes are reinforced with stainless mesh hoses, master cylinder stoppers, and sports pads.

And although the engine is worrisome, the main body is normal. However, motor sports improved exhaust efficiency. A muffler, piping that smoothes the air flow in the intake system, a sports type air cleaner, etc. are used to smooth the flow of intake and exhaust, and the sports ECU manages the engine.

When you open the hood, the dull black pipes have been changed to bright blue and red pipes, and just looking at them is exciting. It is also a part of Ralliart that is beautifully put together.

Running is a high-level unity ◎!!

Well, what about the running!?!?! I wrote that the engine itself is normal, but isn't it powered up? In particular, you can clearly feel the power increase in the middle and high rotation range. The response to the accelerator is sharper in the entire range, and the top end is even better. By the way, the boost is up by about 0.1 kg/cm. Isn't it about 30 horsepower increased!?!?!

No problems with drivability. Torque may be lower than normal at low revs, but there is no practical problem at all. Same smoothness as NORMAL, same ease of handling. The suspension is also perfectly decided

Wider for higher grip

Even if the tires are bumped and the road is uneven It is well demonstrated. Hardness

It is also exquisite, and the ride comfort is properly secured, so it can be used well on the street. The damping force to the shock absorber was set to 3 stages both front and rear, but this is the best setting for general winding.

You can enjoy sharp handling and improved cornering performance.

Brakes are high even at normal running. I felt a sense of rigidity, but this guy is even more solid. Efficacy that responds linearly to pedal force,

There is no perfect touch.

TM-V4 is a radical tuner

Although it is not a driving model, you can definitely enjoy the performance and enjoyment of riding on a higher rank without sacrificing comfort.

I think Lancer Evo owners will enjoy using these parts and tuning step-by-step.

PIC CAPTIONS

Equipped with a Ralliart damper suspension that can handle 18-inch tires, it is extremely controllable even in heavy wet conditions.

The engine itself is normal, but the engine performance has been improved with piping that reduces intake resistance and a pickup with a sports muffler. beautiful to look at

A 300km/h scale white meter, polyacetal sports shift knob, carbon-like console panel, and triple gauges give it a unique look.

The seat is the same as the normal seat, but it has a high holdability, so if you tighten the 4-point seat belt, your body will be firmly fixed.

The Evolution of Audio Visual Products: From Analog to Digital

The audio visual (AV) industry has come a long way since its inception. What started as analog products like record players and cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions has now transformed into digital devices like smartphones and smart TVs. With technology rapidly evolving, the needs and preferences of consumers have also changed significantly. This evolution was made possible through continued innovation in areas like av system design software, microchip technology, display technologies, and connectivity standards. In this blog post, we will look at the key stages in the evolution of AV products from analog to digital and how each new generation of devices brought more advanced features and interconnectivity.

From Analog to Digital

In the early 20th century, some of the first consumer audio visual devices developed were analog in nature. Phonographs/record players allowed people to listen to prerecorded music on vinyl records. Radio broadcasts brought live audio programming to homes through analog AM/FM radio receivers. For visual entertainment, people watched black and white television broadcasts on cathode ray tube (CRT) based televisions. These early AV systems had basic functionality but kickstarted the consumer electronics industry.

Advancement of analog devices:

As technology matured in the mid-20th century, analog AV products became more advanced. Stereo sound was introduced through components like amplifiers, tuners, tape decks. Color televisions with improved picture quality also debuted. VCRs allowed recording and playback of videos on analog magnetic tapes. However, these analog devices were bulky, had compatibility issues, and video/audio quality was limited by the analog format.

Transition to digital era:

The true evolution began in the 1980s with the advent of digital technologies. Compact discs (CDs) provided scratch-resistant digital audio storage that was superior to vinyl records or tapes in terms of clarity and portability. Digital video disc (DVD) technology emerged in the late 1990s, replacing VHS tapes with higher resolution video on optical discs. Early digital devices delivered better quality but maintaining separate components was cumbersome.

Rise of converged devices

To address this issue, manufacturers started developing converged devices that combined multiple functions. Some key developments in this era included:

Home Theater Systems: Allowed controlling AV components like DVD/Blu-ray players, receivers, and speakers through a single remote. Early examples include Sony's DVD home theater systems.

Digital Media Receivers: Combined digital radio tuner, CD/DVD player, and amplifier capabilities in a single unit like Yamaha's high-end receivers.

All-In-One Systems: Pioneered by companies like LG, these brought together television and home audio/video into a single flat panel TV.

Miniaturization and Portability

Continued advances in microchip technology allowed shrinking device sizes while increasing capabilities. Key products delivering portability included:

MP3 Players: Launched by Creative and Apple, these allowed carrying entire digital music libraries on a small portable device.

Smartphones: When Apple debuted the original iPhone in 2007, it changed the face of mobile multimedia forever by combining internet, cameras, apps and more.

Portable Media Players: Devices like iPod Touch, Zune integrated AV playback with touchscreens and apps. Some even played video files.

Ubiquitous Connected Devices

In the 2010s, the internet and wireless connectivity have transformed AV systems forever:

Smart TVs: Deliver internet content, app-based media access and integrated streaming applications seamlessly on televisions.

Streaming Sticks/Boxes: Devices like Roku, Fire TV and Chromecast enable streaming media content on any display via WiFi or ethernet.

Wireless Speakers: Products from Sonos, Bose, UE deliver multiroom audio via WiFi without wired hassles. Some have built-in microphones for voice assistants.

In-Car Infotainment: Automakers provide touchscreen multimedia systems integrated with smartphone connectivity.

The Future of AV Technology

Emerging technologies promise to take AV experiences to new heights through innovative form factors and features. Some expected next big leaps include:

8K Ultra High Definition: Providing over 33 million pixels, 8K is poised to become the new resolution standard for larger displays.

Foldable/Rollable Screens: Flexible display technologies from companies like LG and TCL could spawn whole new form factors.

Virtual/Augmented Reality: VR and AR headsets will deliver immersive visual and audio experiences in gaming, entertainment and more.

Artificial Intelligence: AI-based solutions are enhancing user experiences through intelligent recommendations, virtual assistants and more.
