• BMW HR2 hybrid car:


BMW has an exciting project up its sleeve : BMW Hybrid Car. It’s a hydrogen-powered car that looks like a Hot Wheels model come to life! The BMW HR2 hybrid car is a prototype race car only and we will miss it in the showrooms. BMW is also developing fuel cell cars, using the technology of the Hybrid Cars. BMW promises to launch a dual-mode version of the current 7 Series during the production cycle of the present model, thus introducing the first car of its kind able to run on both hydrogen and gasoline.
Let’s take an awed glance at its stunning features :
- It performs with an output of 285 hp and with a top speed on 185 mph.- Acceleration from zero to 60 mph takes approximately six seconds.- The land speed records involve a list of eight other flying start and standing start categories.- Based on technology used in the BMW 760i vehicle, the HR2 also uses the fully variable VALVETRONIC valve drive.- The car uses a modified 6-liter, 12 cylinder combustion engine for its propulsion.- Engine in BMW emits only water thus making is one of the most environment friendly car in the present times.- BMW hydrogen powered car has higher degree of efficiency due to higher combustion pressure of the hydrogen-air mixture.
The concept has developed at the right time as the gasoline-electric hybrid market will be blooming over the next 5 years or so. This is the kind of vehicle that the environment is in dire need of at present.

• RT20:


Designed by Mathieu Lewis, the Rt20 is to be powered by liquid hydrogen. The hydrogen fuels a twin-turbo V6 engine promising a power-driven ride. The car is no less in safety and comfort features. The conventional spring-based suspension is replaced by electromagnets for better response. The response can be adjusted even more by regulating the current passing through the magnets.

Rolex the watch above all other watches


Rolex watches have proved to be the outstanding watch company par in excellence. Hans Wilsdorf founded it in 1908. Roles became his fame as he wished to give a rather small name for his watches. Extreme durability and reliability made the watches more popular among the young and old. The watches made with the brand name Rolex were always valued even when they were resoled. Today, there are many sites that provide many Rolex collections. Even old watches that are stunning pieces of the initial growth of Rolex also are famous and many do not wish to sell them. They held such watches in pride and an added asset to their possessions.
Rolex watches become more demanded due to the less collections they produce now. This is why people go for the old designs that cannot be seen in the newer ones. Beauty that consists in Rolex cannot be defined as easily through words. Electronic and mechanical watches are their fame. Replicas of Rolex can be found more these days as the prices are less. However, an original Rolex is a gift for a lifetime. Nothing can be replaced for Rolex. As the durability and reliability of the watch is marked with tradition designs mainly those of a classic one.

SSC Ultimate Aero – World’s Fastest Car


SSC Ultimate Aero: 257 mph+, 0-60 in 2.7 secs.
Twin-Turbo V8 Engine with 1183 hp
Base price is $654,400.
Tested in March 2007 by Guinness world records, The SSC Ultimate Aero takes the lead as the fastest car in the world beating Bugatti Veyron.

Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron


Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron 253mph+, 0-62mph 2.5 secs
Officially the fastest car in the world. Ever. In a straight line the Bugatti Veyron simply owns the opposition. Electronically limited to 253mph, the Veyron’s top-end superiority is underlined by simply staggering acceleration. Remember the 243mph McLaren F1? Even given a 100mph head start, the Veyron would still beat one to the double ton. More fun stats include emptying the 100-litre fuel tank in 11 minutes at maximum velocity – a situation engineers have described as a ‘safety feature’. Travel that fast for a whole half hour and even the special high-speed tyres would apparently start to melt.With four turbochargers, the 8.0-litre W16 engine makes a minimum 1000bhp, so it’s no surprise to discover the car contains 17 different cooling devices. Four-wheel drive and sophisticated aerodynamics mean the Veyron isn’t just a hyper-performance dragster, either, cornering incredibly for something weighing 1888kg. A super-fast shifting seven-speed DSG gearbox and mega price-tag completes this ultimate high-speed package.

The SAGA


Paul Yang wasn’t a designer by profession and he merely fluked it to join hands with the famous Larry Nagel but the amateur status of Paul did not prove to be a hindrance by any means. Indeed, a first time project bike conventionally takes 18 to 24 months for completion and these two managed to produce a moving guzzler mere seven months which talks highly about the efficiency and dedication of this Duo .

Koenigsegg CCX


Koenigsegg CCX 245mph+, 0-62mph 3.2 secs
Poor Koenigsegg. Having spent the entire century so far trying to capture the McLaren F1’s top speed record, the Swedish supercar maker finally achieves it with the 242mph CCR when Bugatti comes along and rearranges the rulebook. That’s got to hurt. Still, what better way to bury the pain than to develop a new version – the CCX. A bespoke 4.7-litre V8 with twin superchargers sits just behind the passenger compartment, developing 806bhp and 678lb ft of torque – enough to propel the car from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds despite only having rear wheel drive.245mph is achievable if you can find, well, a runway long enough, though the low drag shape that allows this does mean the Koenigsegg can be a handful in the corners. Extra bonus points for having carbon-fibre wheels on the options list and doors that are cooler than a penguin’s feet.

Chrysler Tomahawk


Chrysler Tomahawk for me is the ‘Big Daddy’ of all motorcycles. You ask me a reason and I have one many; for a V10 engine, which makes it capable of producing 500 horses powers it, is the foremost of them all. With a capacity of 8.3 liters and a ten-cylinder engine, it can literally fly at 400 mph. Hats off to Daimler Chrysler for making this bike reach the production floor !

Peraves Monotracer Concept


The Peraves Monotracer combines the features of a sports bike and a sports car and if any of you doubt it, just as a substantiation, it took Peraves some 90 prototypes and 12 million kilometers to be sure that they live up to the rumored repute . When the driver dives into a corner a retractable stabilizer wheel is positioned in less than a half a second, enabling the bike to lean up to 52 degrees more, than most sport bikes in their lifetime.

Gumpert Apollo


Gumpert Apollo 224mph, 0-62mph 3.0 secscYikes. Well, you’re not exactly going to miss this, uh, beauty appearing suddenly in the rear-view mirror. And seriously, move over, because although you’ve probably never heard of it, being fourth on this list means there aren’t many cars capable of outrunning a Gumpert Apollo. 224mph is impressive, but it’s the 0-62mph time that really grabs our attention. Three seconds flat is seriously quick – you’ll be needing a Veyron if you want to go faster. Such high levels of poke hint at an exotic under-bonnet experience, but don’t be too disappointed when we tell you the Apollo is powered by a 4.2-litre Audi V8.

BMW IMME 1200 Concept


Nicolas Bubar (22) and Yves Dufeutrelle (24) are design students at the international school of design and they thought that a sports bike based on the BMW 1200 boxer would be good idea. Tell you what folks; it definitely was a good idea for the IMME 1200 would now be presented at the next Munich Motorcycle Show at BMW stands
