Bugatti eb110 gt

The Bugatti EB110 from Bugatti is one of the most celebrated cars in automotive history. It was unveiled on September 15, 1991 in both Versailles and in front of the Grande Arche at La D?fense in Paris, France exactly 110 years after Ettore Bugatti's birth. The powerplant is one of the most advanced and complex engines ever created while the chassis and design is just as superb.

2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 Review

According to Kawasaki, the Ninja was conceived and born alongside the revised Z, which was released last year.
The decision to stagger their model years was made in part to meet a perceived greater demand for the allegedly “naked” Zed, particularly in Europe. Also, because sorting the details involved in bringing a new bike to market takes from limited resources, Kawasaki says the Ninja got bumped to 2011.
Speaking of the Ninja 1000 as a variation on the same motorcycle theme, we could nearly summarize it in one sentence and say that if you’re familiar with the Z1000 and can imagine extra wind protection and a bit more plastic, then you practically know the Ninja already.
But to be fair, this isn’t quite true. The Ninja’s above-the-triple-clamps alloy handlebar differs from the tubular bar on the Z1000. They’re about 45mm higher, 10mm narrower, and the grip angle is slightly different. Also its footpegs are set at a somewhat more relaxed position, and the Ninja’s rider and passenger saddle sections utilize 10mm more urethane padding. This extra cush should augment its long-legged comfort potential that also comes with its 1.1 gallon greater fuel capacity.
And then there’s the aesthetic impression, including slightly mellower intake sound due to a deleted “intake-howl” inducing resonator that comes in the Z1000’s intake tract, and a functional full-coverage fairing with a three-way adjustable windscreen. The combined affect makes it feel like its own bike which is kind of surprising, considering on paper – as we recently documented – the bikes are so similar.

Audi R8 V10 Wheel

Once I saw this wheel on an Audi blueprint I knew I had to make it! It's the wheel from the Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro. Maybe this will be start of modelling the car? But I won't hold my breath. Tyre is based on the Pirelli P Zero, which is the one used on the car.

Audi / Allroad / 3.0 TDI 5-dr wagon

Overview

AUDI, like Subaru with its Outback and Volvo’s XC70, believes that some buyers are willing to forgo the bulk of an SUV for a ‘crossover’ that combines all-wheel drive ability with the lightness and litheness of a traditional wagon.

Except that it costs around $20,000 more than the equivalent Q7 SUV, the Allroad TDI quattro has all the ingredients to give premium SUVs a real scare.

Even as it is, the Audi is a real luxury segment contender anyway.

Model release date: May 2007
