Chevrolet car photoBugatti Veyron 16.4 (2006) - World's Fastest Car
Unique in engine design is the integration of knock and misfiring detection in an ion current system. Because the multiplicity of cylinders means very quiet running and ensures that the velocity difference will be extremely small in the event of a cylinder misfire, cylinder-selective detection by measuring rough running is not reliable enough. Therefore, Bugatti Ion Current Sensing (BIS) is used. The ion current flowing at each spark plug at the timepoint of ignition is monitored by a separate evaluation sensor system. The data obtained is passed to both engine control units. If knocking combustion or a misfire is detected, the associated control unit immediately initiates countermeasures, such as retardation of the ignition timepoint, shutdown of the cylinder or reduction of the charge pressure. According to the head of Bugatti Unit Development Gregor Gries, “The aim of our technology is to generate the maximum performance from the engine in a stable, clean manner”.
The fastest road sports car in the world, one of the most ambitious projects in automobile history, entered the production phase after ages of development time. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4, built mainly by hand, finally reached its original goal, packing 1001 hp under its hood, or 987 hp in SAE numbers. The sports car, capable of more than 250 mph, is driven by a 16-cylinder mid-engine, that at 710 mm long is no larger than a conventional V12 unit, and due to its lightweight construction weighs only about 400 kilos. Its compact dimensions are due to the unique arrangement of its cylinder banks in a W configuration. Two VR8 blocks, each with a fifteen degree bank angle, are joined in the crankcase to form one engine. Both eight cylinders are set at an angle of ninety degrees to each other and are aspirated by a total of four exhaust gas turbochargers. The engine delivers 987 hp at 6000 r.p.m. and provides a maximum torque of 923 lb-ft at between 2200 and 5500 r.p.m. To apply the power of the 64-valve unit to achieve satisfactory driving dynamics both in everyday traffic and on the racetrack, the Bugatti development team of Dr. Franz-Joseph Paefgen and Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber has realized a propulsion unit that is without parallel in its complexity. If the extreme engine power is a master stroke of genius, its conversion for road use is an equally tough challenge. As Dr. Schreiber says “For 1000 hp propulsion power, the system demands approximately 2000 hp to be additionally generated as heat energy during combustion. Half in each case is dissipated in the exhaust gas and cooling water”. To do this, the Bugatti engine has two water circuits. The larger of the two with 40 liters of cooling water has three coolers in the front section of the car, to keep the engine at operating temperature. The second circuit, called the low-temperature system, has a separate water pump and contains 15 liters of cooling water. These are used to cool, by up to 130 degrees, the charged air, heated during compression in the turbochargers, in two heat exchangers mounted on the engine. The cooled, charged air then passes through two “air manifolds” into the combustion chamber, which it then leaves as exhaust gas at approximately 1,000 degrees. It then passes through the turbines of the exhaust gas turbochargers. This causes the exhaust gas to expand, so that it is cooled by up to about 150 degrees, is then cleaned in the catalyzer and exhausted. In addition to its unique compactness, the high performance of the power unit is the centrepoint of the development. Lightweight materials are used that not only result in a low power-to-weight ratio but also particularly provide the spontaneous response of the moving engine-internal masses. In addition to piston rods of titanium, the so called “easy runners”, the eight-stage oil pump integrated into the crankcase for dry sump lubrication has light aluminum gears. Because the arrangement of the 16 cylinders ensures extremely quiet running, only a small flywheel is needed. The use of motor sport technology is evident not only from the plasma-coated running faces of the cylinders but also by the use of high-strength steel for the shafts and gears in the aluminum crankcase.
The power generated in the engine is transferred to the flange-mounted direct manual gearbox (DSG). The torque and speed is then transmitted, through the gearing of seven forward and one reverse gear, via a universal drive to the front axle gearbox and via a second universal drive, along the right side of the engine to the rear axle gearbox. Both the DSG and both axle gearbox housings are of lightweight aluminum construction. The drive power is distributed to the front and rear axles by means of a Haldex coupling, an actively-controlled multi-disk, inter-axle lock directly connected to the front axle gearbox. The following front axle differential distributes the power to both front wheels. In the rear axle differential the power is distributed to the rear wheels via a bevel gear and a further differential. In addition, an actively-controlled, hydraulically-actuated, multi-disk differential lock is installed here. When necessary, it prevents speed differences between the rear wheels and ensures optimum directional stability when accelerating and when cornering under load. All load distribution functions are completely automatic and are undetected by the driver. The Bugatti marque has since earliest times been regarded as a central force in the advancement of automobile development by innovative solutions. A position deservedly maintained by the first high-performance sports car of the modern Bugatti. Volkswagen Automotive Group © 2005

Super Car: 2011 Honda NSX super Car
Super Car: 2011 Honda NSX super Car
This is tipped to be the next-generation Honda NSX.
The show-stopping Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept, which debuted at this week’s Detroit motor show, is designed to incorporate a powerful front-mounted, rear-drive V10 engine with Honda’s super handling all-wheel drive (SH-AWD), which also underpins the Honda Legend.
Visually, the concept’s exterior demonstrates a dynamic fusion of advanced technology and emotion.
The long, pronounced bonnet features deeply sculpted lines and embossed air vents while the exterior lines run the length of the body, creating a ribbon-like effect from the headlights to the rear wheel arches.
Although modern in its appearance, the car retains the subtle cues associated with its predecessor, the NSX.
The concept’s slim, LED headlights arepushed wide and designed to mimic the pop-up headlights found on the first generation NSX. Other styling hints include a modern take on wraparound rear tail-lights and the all black cockpit.
"Our intention was to design an exotic sports car that gracefully combines advanced technology and strong emotion," according to Jon Ikeda, principal designer of the Acura Design Center.
"The technical, machined surfaces and keen-edge design are balanced with sweeping curves and dramatic lines, all of which results in the ultimate exotic sports car."
Wide and low to the ground with a 2763mm wheelbase, the concept is anchored by grippe 19-inch front and 20-inch rear performance tires mounted to custom billet-machined, polished aluminum wheels.
Braking is via powerful, ventilated carbon ceramic brakes with eight-piston calipers. Bold wheel arches and flares add to the concept’s aggressive appearance.
The low slung cabin is constructed entirely of tinted glass and sits flush against the body. Door handles are also flush mounted, allowing the sports car to retain a clean and aerodynamic appearance.
The car has a carbon fiber under body and the rear is finished with aggressive quad exhausts and integrated rear diffusers.
Collier Cup Winner
Collier Cup Winner
This 1957 MGA roadster was purchased new from Morris Garages in Maryland, New York and began its racing career that same year. It is offered by the second owner who has pictures of himself watching the car at those early races and who rode home in the passenger seat after the car won the 1958 Collier Cup at Watkins Glen. The car and ownership history make for quite a story. Find it here on eBay in Honeoye Falls, New York.
Check out these great 1957 and 1958 Collier Cup galleries courtesy of the BARC Boys which include the BRG paint that was added on the car for the second year of competition. It was originally a lighter Tyrolite Green from the factory. Both galleries show car #029 victorious at The Glen. The car managed many wins all around the Northeast up until 1959, and was restored for vintage race duty in 1988.
The car’s modern preparation has included a more substantial roll-bar, 72-spoke wheels, and a Sparco racing seat. The octagonal number outlines are reminiscent of the MG badge, and the car remains true to the original style.
The 1622cc engine is fully sorted by Kent Prather. The video below shows the 1958 races and gives the story of the current owner Joe Tierno.
The Woden Car
The Woden Car with a Split Personality
A Ukrainian man gave up his job, sold his two other vehicles and spent one and a half years in his garage to create his dream vehicle. His literally half-modern, half-retro car has a wooden body made of thousands of oak parts.Vasily Lazarenko says the most difficult thing was to preserve the balance between the modern and vintage halves of his design, so that they didn’t clash with each other.
Under the wooden bonnet there’s a 1981 Opel with a 100-horse-power engine.
The wooden body was assembled with glue and bolts and is covered with five layers of waterproof and fire resistant lacquer.
Vasily is reluctant to reveal how much the project cost but says he'll consider selling the wooden car provided he gets enough money to pay for his next secret project.

2010 Porsche Panamera by TechArt - Unofficial Design and Body Kit
Straight off the block we need to state that this is not an official TechArt tuning kit at all. It is an artist’s rendering of what a TechArt conversion of the Porsche Panamera might look like. So TechArt was not involved in its creation.Well-known automotive artist Jon Sibal is the one responsible for this impression. The self-confessed BMW fanatic admits that at first he was not particularly impressed by the Panamera’s looks. But the more official pictures he saw the more it began to grow on him.
His rendering is inspired by the TechArt way of kit design. The front bumper for example, is styled after the TechArt GTstreet R which in itself is based on the Porsche 911 Turbo.
THE MERCEDES BENZ SL
The fifth generation Mercedes Benz SL is still one of my favorite body styles and the one pictured here is the homie Howards. And while the new ones are still dope, this model gained a huge fanfare of patrons and it’s with good reason that it became popular. With smooth lines and a strong stance the simple addition of the right body kit and wheels make for a perfect fit. Straight siiick! On another note….I owe you one Howard!! Don’t trip….I got you. LMFAO.
