Found this during my trip to Berlin two weeks ago. You could say it's to this one: www.flickr.com/photos/buecherwurm/251261257
Some information: 1,001 PS, 400 km/h top speed, price: 1.2 million Euro, limited to 300 exemplars.
The car body called Monocoque is made of one piece and made of carbon fiber, constructed by the Italian company Dallara, a specialist for car bodies. The motor and interior equipment is done by VW in Wolfsburg, the final mounting is done in the Alsacian town of Molsheim, where Bugatti is located. The special tires for this car are manufactured by Michelin.

Hydrogen fuel cell buses trial set for China’s streets
0 comments Posted by philip nevada at 7:13 AM
A team of researchers aims to educate people about the possibilities of hydrogen as a fuel by demonstrating the efficiency of fuel cells in two public transport buses that will operate in China’s North East. The University of Sunderland, UK, has joined forces with Shanghai’s Shen Li High Technology and local experts ComeSys Europe and AVID sustainable vehicles from Cramlington (Northumberland, England) to create ECO2Trans - the region’s first petrol-free passenger buses that will run on a fuel cell, battery and capacitor combination.
UK Regional Development Agency One North East has sponsored the £314,000 (US$525,000 approx.) project to convert the two Gulliver U500EUK buses bought from Mersey Travel in England, using expertise from leading edge companies in China, Germany and the UK.
Sunderland’s team is led by Dirk Kok and Adrian Morris from the Institute of Automotive and Manufacturing Advanced Practice (AMAP), who last year successfully adapted a Nissan Almera to run on hydrogen so that it only emits water from its exhaust.
The University of Sunderland is also looking to develop the next generation of engineers and technicians to put it at the forefront of green vehicle development.
“The visitors from Shen Li were here to help us understand the fuel cell operation, train us in its use and to help mount the fuel cell in the buses. Now, we want to get one fully driving, and one will be completely revamped with a new motor and new electrics,” says Kok.
“These vehicles will act as a test bed to evaluate novel hydrogen technologies in vehicles and will enhance the region’s status as an important automotive research and development center,” Kok says.
Peugeot released an electric version of the scooter, called the E-Vivacity. Electric model is, at least, analogous to 50 cm3 petrol scooter. Peugeot E-Vivacity is equipped with a lithium-cobalt battery capacity of about 4 000 watts, allows scooters on a single charge to overcome the 80 … 100 km.
The electric motor is capable of independently recharged during braking.
Under the driver’s seat has a board cable, with which you can recharge the batteries through an ordinary electrical outlet (230 V). Full charge the battery takes about four hours.
Specifications - synchronous motor with air cooling (equivalent to 50ss), the battery weight - 25kg., Transmission - gear, 32 mm front fork, front brake - Disk 200 mm., Rear brakes - a disc of 190 mm., Dimensions 1910 x 680 x 1168 mm., height - 786 mm., weight - 115 kg.
Honda PCX Will be Introduced to Indonesian Market in 2010
0 comments Posted by philip nevada at 7:03 AMHonda is going to present the new scooter with latest technology called PCX. Thailand is the first country which enjoy the Honda PCX and then will be spread through the ASEAN countries including Indonesia. Thai Honda Manufacturing (THM) have announced that they have been starting to produce this automatic bike on 14 September 09.
The engine of Honda PCX is 125 cc 4 cylinder with ECE 40 mode cycles feature. With the help of this technology, is capable of driving scooter as far as 50 km with a consumption of 1 liter of fuel only. Honda PCX will also equipped with idling stop system and combi brake.
It has been discussed among Indonesian riders that Yamaha will launch a new 150 CC sport bike in 2010. They mentioned that it will beat Honda Mega Pro, Thunder 125, and may also Bajaj Pulsar 180. Well,… you have your own opinion. Let see this Yamaha FZ150 which guess to be the original Bison type. Before it brig to Indonesia, it will be launched India market firts.
The looks of the bike can be summed up in one word as ‘muscular’. While the YZF R15 poses a stylish and sporty outlook, FZ15 presents itself like a hunk. Like the R15, it has a mono suspension and a liquid cooled engine. Yamaha is trying to grab a bigger market share by diluting the Indonesian 2 wheel market with too many models.
Yamaha FZ15 (Bison) Specifications:

Honda Thailand is releasing new bike with have the same compact transmission CV-Matic to beat the Y.C.A.T from Yamaha. It looks like a usual cub bike, but actually it is an automatic bike that shifts like scooter do. Still using the Wave 110 engine I think, but now it featured with automatic transmission. Can provide the same power and durability like the normal manual sequential transmission like Honda Wave 110? No one have analyzed it.

Rather than taking it a costly carwash, in addition to saving money, washing a car by hand is sometimes considered a therapeutic activity and can put your mind at ease.
Washing a car isn't as simple as taking a bucket of soapy water and wiping the automobile down. The following tips will make your car shine and cause heads to turn as you cruise down the highway:
• Many drivers tend to wait until a thick layer of dirt and grime builds up on the exterior of a car before washing it. Usually, the buildup contains chemicals that will eat away at a car's wax and paint. It is important to rinse your car regularly to prevent the cars exterior from rotting away.
• Car soap is designed specially to clean automobiles. Many people often make the mistake of using household cleaning agents like dishwasher detergent and hand soap. Car soap has a mild formula that won't damage a car's paint job.
• Fully rinse the car down before applying any soap. This will remove any excess dirt and prevent scratching when wiping down the vehicle with a soapy rag.
• When hosing the car down after applying soap, rinse from the top to the bottom. This will help the soap suds drip to the ground and prevent any unnecessary pooling of water. Additionally, use a hose with a nozzle rather than a heavy flow to avoid any body damage.
• Allowing a car to air dry will leave noticeable watermarks all throughout. Instead, use a soft towel to blot the water, rather than dragging it over the vehicle. This will prevent streaking and leave the car looking as good as new.
Washing a car by hand is a great alternative to using an auto wash service. Yet, no matter which cleaning method you choose, remember that cleaning your car often will not only protect its exterior, but also will leave your car looking great for thousands of miles to come.

The Yamaha V-Max is a motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha, which is known for its powerful V4 engine, shaft drive, and distinctive styling. While noted for its quick acceleration, it is often criticized for its poor cornering ability and soft suspension. Upon its release in 1985, the V-Max garnered instant critical acclaim and earned the title “Bike of the Year” from Cycle Guide. Sold both in Japan and abroad, the V-Max has been on the market with only minor modifications since the 1985 model year, making it one of the best-selling Japanese motorcycles of all time.
