With the new Zipp 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Brake wheelset, the brand has moved in a new direction. Until now, Zipp has very much made its mark by focussing mainly on the aerodynamic side of carbon wheel development, but for its next generation of wheels that’s all about to change. We chat to Bastien Donzé, Zipp Product Manager, about Zipp's new proposition with the 303. For the full story on the Zipp 303, visit https://bit.ly/36HiBJk
The latest wheels from US brand, Zipp: lightweight and aero, yes, but also faster in ways we never thought possible. Zipp’s 303 family of wheels needs little introduction; widely regarded as one of the best all-rounders on the market. It’s a wheelset that has tasted victory over the cobbles in the Classics as well as summit finishes in Grand Tours. Its 45mm rim depth means it strikes a ideal middle ground between practicality for real world use in varied conditions, as well as being honed for significant aero gains.

The Nissan Bluebird was extensively modified to integrate the LEAF’s electric drivetrain. The original petrol combustion engine and gearbox were removed and a LEAF motor, inverter and 40kWh battery pack installed, with the battery modules split between the engine bay and boot for optimised weight distribution.Updates and modifications were made to the power steering, braking and heating systems to enable them to be electrically powered. A custom suspension was also installed to support the additional weight from the battery packs.As a nod to the car’s electric updates, the original Nissan bonnet badge received a LED backlight (for when the vehicle is static).The car is recharged through the original fuel flap, which provides access to the charging port. The battery can be recharged at up to 6.6kW and the original driver instrument panel has been connected to the EV system to enable the fuel gauge to show the battery state of charge.Although not homologated, the vehicle’s range from a single charge is estimated at around 130 miles (subject to environmental factors and driving style) with a 0-62mph (0-100kph) time of just under 15 seconds.For the exterior of the vehicle, Nissan Design Europe, based in London, created a new graphic motif inspired by design cues of 1980s consumer technology, combined with a 21st century aesthetic.
Hans-Joachim Stuck has had to wait almost 35 years for a reunion with the fully refurbished 962 C and its first rollout. So the surprise was all the greater when the silk cloth was drawn back to reveal the vehicle at the Weissach Development Centre.
The road to the Oval Office is fraught with peril and stained with blood, sweat, and tears. But once there, the US President makes out reasonably well. According to Business Insider, the president earns an annual salary of $400,000, as well as unlimited access to Air Force One, Marine One, and Camp David. He and his family are also looked after by over 100 White House staffers, including top-flight pastry chefs, maids, landscapers, plumbers, and a head housekeeper. While the president is never really 'off,' he and his family can relax and watch movies in the White House media room, and work off steam in a number of sports areas. Finally, US presidents get free healthcare and a generous $200,000 annual pension--for life!
