BRONX, New York, Sept. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Historias de Caserío: Adolescentes y jóvenes al mando was created by Héctor Monge. Héctor is an author who comes from San Juan, Puerto Rico. After being incarcerated, he changed his life with God’s help.

Learn in this book part of the events that began to set a precedent in the history of this country as well as places and people who contributed to this historical change such as the young Carlata and their places of origin, the residential Villa España and Nemesio R. Canales, and the reasons why almost thirty years later today, tens of thousands of people on the island and the outskirts still remember them.”

Jaime Sánchez’s new book La Pirámide del Delirio: Ficción, Erotismo y Revolución, a riveting tale of gods and world revolutions in the mystical nation that is Mexico

September 4, 2020

GREENFIELD, California, Sept. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book La Pirámide del Delirio: Ficción, Erotismo y Revolución was created by Jaime Sánchez. Jaime is an author who works as a real estate agent. He hails from Villa Guerrero, Jalisco, Mexico.

Jaime said this about his book: “In Cholula, Mexico, the city surrounded by the Iztaccíhuatl, Popocatépetl, and Malinche volcanoes, the city that refuses to leave behind its pre-Hispanic magic, and which is home to the Quetzalcóatl pyramid, the largest in the world. In 1914, when not only the great world war broke out, but Mexico was the bloody heart of the Mexican revolution led by Zapata and Carranza and that it had been contained by the bloody and chilling coup of Victoriano Huerta and Ambassador Lane Wilson in the tragic decade of 1913, which resulted in the deaths of Madero and Pino Suárez. Under this framework of deep social, economic, and political contradictions, the goddess Victoria and the feathered serpent Quetzalcóatl, embodied in a Zapatista peasant, meet to give rise to a passionate romance, who in turn wage an incarnate and entertaining cosmogonic struggle against the rude forces of the universe, represented by Tezcatlipoca and Mictlantecuhtli.”

Published by Page Publishing, Jaime Sánchez’s new book La Pirámide del Delirio: Ficción, Erotismo y Revolución will enchant readers in a story driven by divine beings whose influence puts the world into turmoil and humanity’s fate unknown.

Consumers who wish to bathe in the enigmatic and capricious beauty of Mexican mythology can purchase La Pirámide del Delirio: Ficción, Erotismo y Revolución in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

2021 RC Black Line

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —

What’s New: 2021 RC

Limited-Production Black Line Special Edition with Unique Crafted Touches and Zero Halliburton^®Luggage
Standard Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Heated Electrochromic Exterior Mirrors
New Exterior Color – Grecian Water

Striking style. Dynamic performance. Next-generation technology. The Lexus RC is a refined luxury sports coupe, crafted to stand apart. For 2021, the stunning two-door adds the new RC Black Line Special Edition to its lineup, offering Lexus owners a new way to express their bravura. For added peace of mind and convenience, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is now standard across the entire RC range.

Since its introduction in 2014, the RC has played a major role in expressing Lexus’ commitment to delivering an emotional driving experience. Thanks to its aggressive styling and versatile driving character, the RC has become a highly sought-after coupe by enthusiasts who value performance and world-class craftsmanship.

With its muscular form and aggressive stance, the RC seamlessly balances eye-catching style with impressive technology. In front, a bold fascia and available Premium Triple-Beam LED headlamps announce its arrival. While strong character lines sweep toward its dramatic rear valance and LED taillamps, creating a captivating appearance from every angle.

A total of nine different exterior colors are available for the RC, including a new color, Grecian Water, that truly convey the coupes athletic nature.

Limited in Number, Not Style: 2021 RC Black Line

Lexus’ successful Black Line Special Edition treatment is available on RC 300 and RC 350. Based on the F SPORT grade, the 350-unit Black Line models reflect Lexus’ core values of omotenashi (Japanese for anticipatory hospitality) and takumi craftsmanship with their unique premium finishes that will surely elicit attention from passengers and passersby alike.

Each Black Line Special Edition arrives with standard Premium Triple-Beam LED headlamps. The headlamps’ eye-catching design does more than illuminate the road ahead – it impresses at every turn. Adding to the Black Line specialness are 19-inch F SPORT wheels finished in Black Sputtering Chrome, as well as darkened exhaust tips. Guests can select Ultra White or all-new Cloudburst Gray as exterior colors. Inside, passengers will notice a confluence of surfaces covered in Black Nuluxe accented by silver-colored stitching. Ash Wood trim on the RC’s steering wheel and associated cabin pieces is standard on all Black Line Special Editions.

For the 2021 Lexus Black Line Special Edition series, famed luxury brand Zero Halliburton^® provides customers with a bespoke set of travel cases made exclusively for Lexus. The special Lexus Black Line Zero Halliburton luggage includes an Edge Lightweight 22-inch Continental Carry-on and a 26-inch Medium Travel Case.

Three Forms of Power

The RC 300 is powered by a highly responsive 2.0-liter, twin-scroll turbocharged and intercooled in-line four-cylinder engine with direct injection. The surge of power in the 241-horsepower. RC 300 doesn’t let up thanks to the Lexus engineers who spent years researching, developing, and refining its turbocharger. Generating 258 lb-ft of torque from 1,650 to 4,400 rpm, the engine is paired to a rear-wheel drive system and an eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift automatic transmission, and is easy on fuel consumption, with a 30 miles-per-gallon highway preliminary estimate.

The RC 300 AWD pairs a six-speed automatic transmission with a 260-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. Featuring Variable Valve Timing with intelligence, the engine is designed to provide added torque at lower speeds and greater horsepower at higher speeds. These refinements combine to generate 236 lb-ft of torque from 2,000 to 4,800 rpm.

The RC 350 and RC 350 AWD’s 311-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 generates 280 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm and boasts direct and port fuel injection, not to mention, an awe-inspiring sound reminiscent of the LFA supercar. The all-wheel drive RC 350 features a six-speed automatic transmission, while the rear-wheel drive model is equipped with an eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift transmission. And in the rear-wheel drive F SPORT, an available Torsen limited-slip rear differential helps maximize drivers’ ability to power out of corners. The RC 350 can accelerate from 0 to 60 in an estimated 5.8 seconds (RWD) and 6.0 seconds (AWD).

Interior Details Further Refine the RC Experience

From meticulous stitching to distinctive wood trims, the RC delivers an ideal combination of performance and luxury.

While every bit a performance cockpit, the interior of the RC envelops the driver and passengers in stunning craftsmanship. The available perforated trim epitomizes evocative style and sophistication, while Linear Espresso and Linear Dark Mocha wood accents offer unparalleled artistry. An analog clock and expressive gauges give the elegant cabin an extra level of refinement. Individual settings for climate control allow the driver and front passenger to adjust their preferred temperatures. And, to help ensure that the cabin stays as fresh as it is beautiful, a smog-sensing system automatically switches into recirculation mode if it senses high levels of pollutants outside.

In all, there are seven exclusive interior color combinations available, including those for the F Sport.

Enhanced Peace of Mind: Standard BSM with RCTA

The once available Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (BSM with RCTA) is now standard across all RC models. To help guests change lanes with confidence, BSM is designed to detect and warn drivers of vehicles approaching or positioned in the adjacent lanes. Additionally, RCTA can help guests when backing out of a parking space by notifying them of vehicles approaching from either side.

BSM with RCTA adds to the RC’s impressive list of advanced safety technologies, which includes the standard Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+). Lexus Safety System+ is designed to help pave the way to a world with fewer collisions and better-informed drivers. An integrated suite of advanced active safety equipment, the system is designed to help in certain circumstances, from providing pedestrian alerts to preventing lane drift.

LSS+ includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Intelligent High Beams.

Lexus’ passion for brave design, imaginative technology, and exhilarating performance enables the luxury lifestyle brand to create amazing experiences for its guests. Lexus began its journey in 1989 with two luxury sedans and a commitment to pursue perfection. Since then, Lexus has developed its lineup to meet the needs of global luxury customers in more than 90 countries. In the United States, Lexus vehicles are sold through 242 dealers offering a full lineup of luxury vehicles. With six models incorporating Lexus Hybrid Drive, Lexus is the luxury hybrid leader. Lexus also offers eight F SPORT models and two F performance models. Lexus is committed to being a visionary brand that anticipates the future for luxury customers.

2021 Honda Civic Type R Heats Up with Exclusive Limited Edition

September 2, 2020

0

The 2021 Honda Civic Type R begins arriving in dealers today, heightened by the addition later this month of the ultimate street-legal Type R, the Limited Edition. Since its debut in 2017, Civic Type R has quickened the pulses of hot-hatch enthusiasts, earning widespread praise from media and owners alike. The new Limited Edition turns up Type R performance further still, with lower weight, improved handling, a higher-performance wheel and tire combination, and exclusive Phoenix Yellow paint.

TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The 2021 Honda Civic Type R begins arriving in dealers today, heightened by the addition later this month of the ultimate street-legal Type R, the Limited Edition. Since its U.S. debut in 2017, Civic Type R has quickened the pulses of hot-hatch enthusiasts, earning widespread praise from media and owners alike. The new Limited Edition model turns up Type R performance further still, with lower weight, improved handling, a higher-performance wheel and tire combination, and an exclusive, eye-catching Phoenix Yellow paint.

The 2021 Civic Type R comes with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $37,495, while the Type R Limited Edition has an MSRP of $43,995 (neither including the $955 destination and handling charge). With only 600 Limited Edition units available, it is recommended buyers contact their local authorized dealerships directly for availability of this exclusive model.

The 2021 Type R Limited Edition will come in an exclusive Phoenix Yellow color, with gloss black paint on the roof, outside mirror caps, and intake vent on the hood, along with a dark chrome Civic badge on the rear hatch. Inside, each Limited Edition has a special numbered plaque on the center console designating its build number.

The 2021 Civic Type R and Type R Limited Edition carry forward the numerous updates made to the 2020 Type R, including the freshened front and rear exterior styling, larger grille opening and radiator for improved engine cooling, and interior updates such as the Alcantara™-wrapped steering wheel, and a new weighted shift knob. Both feature the Honda Sensing^® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies as standard equipment, including Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collison Warning, Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control.

TYPE R LIMITED EDITION
The 2021 Type R Limited Edition embodies multiple engineering and feature changes designed to maximize performance, without sacrificing Type R’s unique combination of razor-sharp performance and civilized daily-driving manners.

Racers know that reducing weight is key to better performance at the track, which is why a number of measures were taken to reduce the curb weight of the Type R Limited Edition by 46 pounds versus the standard Type R.

Replacing the standard Type R wheels with lightweight forged-aluminum alloys from BBS saves the Type R Limited Edition an additional 18 pounds of unsprung weight, which has an important impact on agility and roadholding with a side benefit to ride comfort. The lighter weight results in lower rotational inertia, an effect amplified by lightweight two-piece floating front brake rotors that were applied to all Type Rs in 2020, which yielded a 2.5 pounds of weight savings per side. Going further still, 28 pounds of sound deadening materials have been removed from the roof, rear hatch panel, and front fenders and dash; even the cargo cover, rear heater ducts and rear wiper mechanism were removed to save weight.

The Type R Limited Edition also features grade-exclusive Michelin Cup 2 tires with improved cornering performance². To take full advantage of the lighter weight wheels and extra-grippy tires, Limited Edition features unique programming for the Active Damper System (ADS), which was already updated just last year to sample inputs 10 times faster the before. Similarly, the electrically assisted power steering has been reprogrammed to match the elevated dynamic performance and lighter weight of the BBS alloys. The result is an even more rewarding driving experience, especially during on-track driving.

Under the hood, the 2021 Civic Type R and Type R Limited Edition draw power from the same race-bred 2.0-liter direct-injected and turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with VTEC™ valvetrain, putting out a peak 306-horseopwer (SAE net) and a peak 295 lb.-ft. of torque (SAE net), with power to the front wheels delivered through a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. Both Type R models allow drivers to choose between three driving modes – Comfort, Sport and +R – that vary throttle mapping, damping force and steering assist.

Suzuka Track Record
The Civic Type R Limited Edition (European spec) recently stormed to a new front-wheel drive track record at Suzuka Circuit, Honda’s Formula 1 racetrack in Japan, with a time of 2 minutes 23.993 seconds. Originally built as a test facility for Honda, the 3.6-mile Suzuka track’s figure-8 configuration today is known worldwide as a highlight of the Formula 1 season as a driver and fan favorite.
