2012 Ford Police Interceptor is officially official

noreply@blogger.com (CHAMP) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:00:00 +0000

This is 2012 Ford Police Interceptor based on the Taurus and is Blue Oval’s replacement for current Crown Victoria, which was officers’ choice since mid 90s. Previewed in Las Vegas, the vehicle is now officially official.

This new police Interceptor sedan will be offered in two V6 engine versions: a basic version and a high performance model for the highway patrol. The first version will be a standard 3.5-liter V6 Duratec engine with more than 263hp and E85 capability, which is more than the Crown Vic’s current anemic V8 and more than the standard Taurus V6.

The second powertrain will probably be an all wheel drive with a twin turbo Eco-boost 3.5-liter V6 that generates 365hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. And the vehicle has 90% of its interior redesigned to meet the needs of our special police customers.

World’s largest yacht matches the grandeur of kings

noreply@blogger.com (CHAMP) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 16:47:00 +0000

It’s the majestic size that matches the grandeur of kings and this is the reason why the world’s largest yacht belongs to Dubai. The 531-foot mega yacht is the largest private yacht in the world that belongs to the ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Originally named Platinum 525, when the project was commissioned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei in 1996 but got stuck due to lack of funds. It was only after $300 million funding that the project was carried out again in 2001 and named Gold Star by the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai, and the Prime Minister of the UAE to jointly own the mega yacht. Equipped with three elevators serving all the decks, a large formal dining area, a variety of pools, hot tubs, sunbathing areas and a big swimming platform, the Gold Star also offers a variety of water sports activities along with air conditioning facility to combat the hot Dubai weather. But wait, there’s more! The yacht also has a squash room, spa, and is fitted with the obligatory mega yacht helicopter pad.

Though, spending $59.99 for a table clock might not sound a good bargain but the dock comes complete with free downloadable applications and plays surround sound music as well.

Frank Lampard signature gold plated iPod to support cancer trust

noreply@blogger.com (CHAMP) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 18:55:00 +0000

Chelsea captain Frank Lampard has earned a reputation as one of the most durable players in the Premier League but apart from the football, the England midfielder is launching his signature Gold iPod in support of the Teenage Cancer trust charity. Designed by Goldgenie and embellished in 24ct gold, the 3rd generation iPod touch is available in 8GB, 16GB or 32GB capacity and comes with a standard one-year guarantee. Lampard is endorsing the exclusive range of these 24ct gold plated iPods with his laser engraved signature at London’s famous Harrods store. Keeping in view the festive season, charity organizers (Ask Godders Management) would expect these exceptional items to make for a wonderful gift for all Chelsea and football fans alike.

Bugatti Veyron Driven on Water

noreply@blogger.com (CHAMP) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:34:00 +0000

Located in an affluent community of Galveston County, Texas, the owner of this Bugatti Veyron was apparently distracted and lost control of his 1001hp hypercar, leaving it beached in the shallows of a salt water lake.

The owner of the video states this is the "third or fourth Veyron crashed" in the area. The driver was uninjuried but now the question of insurance coverage emerges for the $2 million vehicle.

One of the biggest destroyers of an automobile is water, no less the salty kind, in large quantities and for most high volume vehicles, it's a one way ticket to the salvage yard. Water causes corrosion and penetrates the smallest crevices. It especially likes to hide in electrical wiring which can create a multitude of problems at any given time, sometimes even years later.

But the Veyron is no oridnary car, and with such a price tag and lack of collision damage, it's highly unlikely this Bugatti swan is an insurance write off. The passenger cell and quarter panels are constructed of carbon fiber while the doors, front and rear frame extrusions or crash boxes are constructed of aluminum. The only major component constructed of steel is the engine cradle or sub-frame.

So, the biggest concern is not the body as it is impervious to corrosion by water, but instead other components such as engine, driveline, suspension, brakes, turbo system, complex cooling system with its 14 radiators and worst of all, the electrical/electronics are the big concern. Bugatti isn't exactly mass producing replacement parts available in the local VW dealerships, so look for a year or more for this tadpole to hit the road again.

'Wall of Sound' is the world’s biggest iPod speaker

noreply@blogger.com (CHAMP) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:12:00 +0000

Apple’s iPod has revolutionized the world of music since its launch in 2001, and it is still the prized gadget of millions around the world. The latest on the list of iPod gadgetry is the world’s biggest iPod speaker called “Wall of Sound,” that weighs 102 kilos (225 pounds), stands almost a meter tall and 1.25 meters wide, and can pump up to 125 watts. Completely handmade, the wall is made up of 28 individual speakers, each housed in their own chamber, and it boasts its own tube amplifier hidden away inside. The monstrous wall speaker belittles the iPod dock on the side. This hand-built artistic speaker comes for a matching price tag of $4,500 and reportedly, the first batch is already sold.

Batman will find it tough to resist this DIY Batmobile replica

noreply@blogger.com (CHAMP) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:31:00 +0000

We’ve seen a whole lot of Batmobile replicas, but the thing only gets better with time, and till replicas like this are being made, we say keep ’em coming. This Batmobile is all hard work, its creator spent 20,000 hours modifying a 1973 Lincoln Continental to bring to the shape and form of the Batmobile. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg; the vehicle is loaded with gadgets and weaponry, Batman style. It has machine guns, video cameras, height adjustable bodywork, Voice recognition, DVD Player, and a plasma TV, so you know, Batman can get some fun while dispensing vigilante justice.

The Batmobile was built over three and a half years, and has 700 horses under the hood. The car cost a million dollars to build, thereby proving that Bruce Wayne lives in Stockholm, and not the fictional Gotham City as publicized.

Hamann Ferrari 599 GTB clad in gold

noreply@blogger.com (CHAMP) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:00:00 +0000

We’ve seen so many chromed cars in the past few days that the golden Hamann Ferrari 599 GTB almost seems like a welcome change. This ought to put that car’s owner away from those peasants that drive the “normal” Ferrari 599 GTBs. That should be quite an ego-booster, until this person comes across the gold covered Veyron. Also, now that our eyes have returned to normal vision after the initial flash of gold, we think this golden car sucks as much as its chromed counterparts.

The world’s first Spaceport being built in the USA

noreply@blogger.com (CHAMP) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:51:00 +0000

Space is the next frontier, and space tourism is probably the next big thing. Space tourists will have a terminus of their own next year when the construction of a Spaceport is completed in New Mexico. Virgin Galactic plans to use the spaceport to send people into orbit, and there are a lot of people interested in the idea. Nearly 45,000 people have already registered for a space trip from the new spaceport.

Each trip will cost the tourists $200,000, and Virgin hopes that it will have a flight every week, with at least six people on board. The spaceport has been designed by London-based architecture firm Foster + Partners. The structure will seek to display the same mystery and drama as a spaceflight is likely to have.

2009 BMW M Concept: Designer Idries Noah’s answer to the Audi R8

noreply@blogger.com (CHAMP) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:32:00 +0000

Tired of waiting for BMW to come up with an Audi R8 rival, designer Idreas Noah created this independent design proposal for a sleek, stylish and aggressive Beemer. Inspiration for the design came from flowing water and ripples, and the sides are inspired by what’s called in surfing terms “a barrel or tube.” The concept runs on a tweaked 5-l V10 from the M6, that would generate more than 400kW power. Dimensions for the M Concept are nearly the same as its targeted rival, the Audi R8.
