Hong Kong Pulls Po Chai Pills because of Health Risks, Morning Post Says 2010-03-25 01:49:27.289 GMT By Frederik Balfour March 25 (Bloomberg) - Hong Kong 's Department of Health has instructed traditional Chinese medicine maker Li Chung Shing Tong (Holdings) to recall Po Chai pills after they were found to contain banned substances in Singapore, the South China Morning Post said. The pills, popular among sufferers from digestion problems, were found to contain phenolphthalein and sibutramine, substances that can lead to serious side effects, according to a department spokesman, the newspaper said. "Po Chai" (see images below) have been banned in Singapore. They are also being recalled in Hong Kong. Apart from the two dangerous chemicals (phenolphthalein and sibutramine) found by the Singapore Govt., mercury is another component used in the manufacture of the pills !

Lumma Design is quick to work on the new Cayenne

Image
The second-generation Porsche Cayenne is not even on sale yet, but German tuner Lumma Design has already started working on it. The styling package, named CLR 550 GT, includes a new front spoiler that has a deep drawn cup spoiler sword with added carbon applications. Kevlar and carbon are some of the materials used to fashion the sporty bonnet, which has gill-like air inlets. Even little details like the windscreen wiper cover has been elevated to reduce drag. Aerodynamics are further improved by wing extensions while side skirts usher airflow through a specially designed channel to the rear brakes, which helps to maintain optimal operational temperature. Openings in the door fixtures further improve the cooling mechanism. Visual substance can also be found at the back thanks to things like pronounced spoilers with integrated carbon diffuser and a unique triple stainless steel pipe exhaust setup. Placed in the middle, the centre pipe is flanked by two smaller items. Mo

Suzuki Swift Plug-In Hybrid to use Sanyo batteries

Image
Suzuki plans to use Sanyo as its battery supplier for an upcoming plug-in hybrid version of the Suzuki Swift . 60 test units of the plug-in hybrid equipped with the Sanyo batteries will be deployed in Suzuki dealerships across Japan in the second half of 2010. Sanyo joins a group of battery supplies engaged to supply batteries for plug-in hybrids including Panasonic for an upcoming plug-in Prius and LG Chem for the Chevrolet Volt. The Swift Hybrid plug-in car will be a series hybrid much like the Proton EMAS and the Chevrolet Volt. There is a 660cc combustion engine capable of 54 horsepower but its sole function is to run a generator that recharges the Sanyo batteries when needed when the batteries run out of wall socket charged juice. The batteries in turn power a 74 horsepower electric motor. When the concept version of the car was first displayed at Tokyo 2009, Suzuki said the batteries in that car could go about 20km on full battery capacity before the 660cc engine

Honda Civic to live past five years, new model in 2011?

Image
It has been five years since the current Honda Civic made its debut. So based on the standard 5 year product plan, a new model should be unveiled later this year. Not so, says Honda, which cites changing market conditions and emissions regulations as the reasons behind the pushed back release to 2011. “In general, we are not changing cycles. We change vehicles as need be. The ability to do something based on more current information is better than waiting a full model cycle. Some of that is being able to have the opportunity to change (based on) what you see happening in the marketplace,” explained John Mendel, American Honda Motor Co’s Executive VP. The next Civic was supposed to grow in size over the FD2, but Honda COO Tsuneo Tanai said at last year’s Tokyo show that the design had been altered midstream and resized closer to the current car. Five years already? The current Civic doesn’t feel very dated in our books, and is still very competitive against younger rival

Volkswagen’s SEAT has 5 years to turn around its losses!

Image
Not all Volkswagen Group marques are doing as well – SEAT operating losses hit almost 340 million Euros last year. Volkswagen only has three unprofitable units – SEAT, Bentley, and Volkswagen commercial vehicles. SEAT’s 1Q loss this year of 110 million Euros is more than double the losses of the other two units. Volkswagen bosses has given SEAT a deadline of sorts – it has 5 years to cut losses by expanding its model range and growing its market share outside of its ‘home market’ of Spain, where car sales have dropped by 21% last year, which is no wonder considering Spain current has a high jobless rate of 20.1 percent, the highest in the eurozone. If the brand cannot turn itself around VW may just let it go, but it seems that things are so bad with the brand’s financials that VW would have to PAY someone to take it off its hands. “This is the last attempt for SEAT as a brand, it would not be sensible to view things differently. If one would want to get rid of SEAT, one

Team BMW wins the 2010 Nürburgring 24 hours race

Image
Team BMW Motorsport has won the 2010 24-hour race at the Nürburgring, five years after its last victory at the endurance classic. The No.25 BMW M3 GT2 driven by Jörg Müller (DE), Augusto Farfus (BR), Uwe Alzen (DE) and Pedro Lamy (PT) claimed Munich’s 19th victory by crossing the finish line first after 154 laps of the 25.378 km circuit, despite gearbox problems in the last three hours. They inherited the lead from Porsche’s 911 GT3 R Hybrid, which engine gave way with only an hour and 45 minutes left. An impressive fight back saw the second M3 GT2 driven by Dirk Werner (DE), Dirk Müller (DE), Andy Priaulx (GB) and Dirk Adorf (DE) finish seventh in front of 220,000 spectators. A crash, while swerving to avoid a collision, resulted in the them losing an hour in the pits early on in the race, dropping back to 182nd. After replacing the front-left suspension, radiator and the rear-left shock absorber, car number 26 worked its way back up the field lap by lap. The two BMW

Hybrid Jaguars leaping out in two years time, XJ is first

Image
Jaguar plans to introduce hybrid variants of the XJ, XF and the XK, expected to hit the market by 2013-2014. This comes after sister company Land Rover announced similar plans starting with the hybrid Range Rover Sport in 2013. Apparently, the XJ limo will be the first cat to house the new hybrid system as big cars reap more hybrid benefits and can more easily swallow the premium, which is said to be about £10,000. About 100 engineers in the 18-month old hybrid powertrain division of Tata owned Jaguar-Land Rover (JLR) are working on the first prototype of the drivetrain, which consists of a 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel working in tandem with a 35kW electric motor and a new ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. The transmission can be fitted to any JLR model with a north-south (longitudinal) layout. The first JLR hybrids will be diesel-electric, but petrols (which are less complicated to engineer) will follow. JLR is also researching Chevy Volt style range-extending hyb

Aston Martin One-77 – ten units sold to one customer!

Image
Ultimate luxury and class comes with a price tag. A price tag of 1.2 million pounds to be exact. The item it’s attached to is none other than the gorgeous Aston Martin One-77. But for some, money is no object for desires of the heart, which certainly applies to one customer who purchased 10 of these beauties. Word is that the £12 million customer in question is of Middle Eastern descent. It should be the biggest purchase from a single customer Gaydon has ever received. The 10 units also represent 13% of the One-77’s total production run of 77 cars. Each the cars were customised with different interiors. The One-77 has plenty of lucky sevens surrounding it – a 7.3-litre engine with 700 bhp and a limited run of 77 units. The most extreme Aston’s top speed is…no not 700, but an impressive 354 km/h. Acceleration to 96 km/h (60 mph) is achieved in 3.5 seconds. With this latest supermarket sweep, 65 of the 77 cars are already spoken for. So what are you waiting for? To help y

yenne gets 200 bhp boost and 911 eyes from Russians

Image
Old or new, we’ve never been big fans of the Cayenne’s looks. Now, look what Topcar has done to the second-gen yet to be launched Cayenne. The Russian tuning firm has developed three different styling packages for the super SUV. Each model gets a 200 horsepower boost from 550 to 750 bhp and will sit on forged wheels. Other standard offerings include new side mirrors and added LED lighting. The first of the three packages is the Cayenne Advantage 2, which has Porsche 911 headlights and includes front and rear spoiler bumpers, extended fenders, side skirts, wide door caps and a new bonnet. Only 25 of these cars will be specially built. What do you think of those classic oval headlamps on the Cayenne? Another limited edition package would be the Vantage GTR 2 which retains the original headlights but comes with wider intakes as part of a new front bumper, front and rear fender extenders, a bonnet and side skirts which gives is said to give the “bird of prey” look. Finally,
