Um Jaguar com pintura de jaguar

Não contente em ter um Jaguar 1961 na garagem o dono deste carro quis chamar a atenção e resolveu personaliza-lo com uma pintura de jaguar. Eu pessoalmente não gostei, mas tem gosto para tudo.

Dark days,on the road

479
oil on canvas 8x10"


i don't envy people commuting
in the winter, in their cars
work, to and fro
dark when you leave home,dark when you return...

Celta VHCE já à venda

Com mudanças no motor, o motor 1.0 passou a ter 77 cv abastecido com gasolina e 78 cv abastecido no álcool seu torque passou a ser de 9,5 kgfm (g) e 9,7 kgfm (a) a 5.200 giros.

A diferença na nomenclatura onde foi acrescido a letra “E” se deve às novas regulamentações do Conama. A letra indica que o carro ficou mais econômico e menos poluente. O tanque também aumentou de 47,8 litros para 54l.

Para a versão Spirit, a Chevrolet incluiu mais itens de série na carroceria de quatro portas. Agora o carro já vem com vidros e travas elétricos, alarme e terceira luz de freio. O preço ficou um pouco mais alto, partindo de R$ 26.447, R$ 84 a mais. Por fora, nada muda além do logotipo indicando o novo motor. As alterações mecânicas também serão estendidas ao sedã Classic, que deve chegar às lojas em breve.

Pagani Zonda R

One of the most desirable supercars on earth had been show to the public. The supercars brought by The Pagani brand has finally release out the Zonda R which is the ultimate racing machine.This supercar even can be drive on the road too. While it may not look it at first glance, the Zonda R shares only about 10% of its components with the Zonda F. that means from the start it was designed for its own unique purpose.

The Zonda R is powered by Mercedes-Benz’s AMG engine. It’s the 6.0-litre V12 powerplant.This type of engine can be found in the racing CLK GTR that has successfully competed in GT championships. This powerful engine is angled at 60 degrees, light in weight and produces humongous figures of 750hp (552kW) and 710Nm of torque. Pagani Zonda R is equipped with 6-speed sequential gearbox model that sends power to slick tyres. Lubrication is a dry sump with a separate oil tank.

To match the stability with the speed of this supercar, the Zonda R has had its wheelbase increased by 47mm, overall length is up by 394mm while the track increased by 50mm. Bodywork was optimised to increase downforce even at low speeds, while an aerodynamic package of a bonnet with flaps, adjustable rear wing, and rear diffuser give the car exceptional cornering ability. While the car corners the driver is sitting comfortably inside a cabin that hugs and gives him a sense of stability and safety.

Mugen Civic RR Advance Concept

See what has Mugen did to the FD2 Civic Type-R with the 2008 RR. This year, they will unveiled what would be the most extreme factory tuned Type-R. They we call it the RR Advanced Concept. It’s no longer a Type R. in fact, most removable panels are now carbon fiber. They have also retained the carbon reinforced interior from the Experimental spec RR.

The Mugen will make the RR Advanced Concept more powerfull and can reach up 260bhp, 20bhp more than the 240bhp RR and does 9000rpms.

Here I post some official studio pictures from all round the car. As you can clearly see, almost all exterior panels are replaced by CFRP. Lot’s of details here and there seperating it from the RR.
