Ginetta as one of the renowned British sports car brands was founded in 1958 by four Walklett brothers (Bob, Ivor, Trevers, and Douglas) in Woodbridge, Suffolk. Their first car was not destined for production, which later became known as the Ginetta G1 which based on the pre-war Wolseley Hornet.
From their original bases, the company moved to Witham, Essex in 1962, and between 1972 and 1974 operated from a bigger place in Sudbury, Suffolk before returning to Witham where they remained until 1989. Under Walkletts brothers, ie Trevers who responsible for styling, Ivor for engineering, Douglas in management, and Bob on sales.
After the Walklett brothers retiring in 1989, the company was sold, but failed, and was subsequently purchased by an international group of fans, which is based in Sheffield, and is run by Martin Phaff as director which then produces the G20 and G33.
In late 2005 Ginetta acquired by LNT Automotive, an automotive company that runs by Lawrence Tomlinson, an experienced racer and successful entrepreneur. The objective remains in line with the Ginetta founders; to continue the innovative production of great value sports cars.
In mid-2007 Ginetta move to the state-of-the-art factory near Leeds, with a target to sell 200 cars per year. Tomlinson who trained the engineers by himself and wrote the basic specifications for the Ginetta G50, which was produced to celebrate 50 years of Ginetta production, and the GT4 car was successful achieved many award-winning.
In March 2010, Ginetta acquired the Somerset, a Fabio-based sports car manufacturer, and re-badged the Fabio GTS cars as Ginetta F400. In March 2011, Ginetta G55 launched, that built for the GT3 class rules and running in the Michelin Ginetta GT Supercup. In October 2011 Ginetta G60 launched, a two-door mid-engined sports car developed from the F400 and supported by the 3.7-liter V6 Ford engine-sourced. With a weight of only around 2,400 kilograms and priced at US. $106,300.
As quoted of the Inside line on Tuesday, October 11, 2011, the G60's engine which mated with a six-speed Ford manual gearbox through the rear-wheel drive, Ginetta claiming their flagship G60 could accelerate from zero to 60 mph in less than 4.0 seconds, with a top speed of 165 mph. And in 2019, the auto manufacturer has launched its all-new Ginetta Akula supercar at the Geneva International Motor Show 2019. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GINETTA | GINETTA CARS]

Lived
about 100 million years ago, these findings seem to have similarities
with modern cockroaches. Have a size below one centimeter, this unique
animal has wings to fly just like cockroaches or mantis.
The
ancient cockroach included in Manipulator modificaputis that finally
classified as a family of cockroaches and called Manipulatoridae. The
species is found trapped in amber (fossilized tree resin) that are
predators and hunt at night. Impression of the ancient cockroach may be
frightening.

This
specimen has a head that can move with big eyes and a neck long enough
to be able to hunt. This ancient cockroach also has a small body and
wings, legs and mouth parts that stake, and eyes that are at the top of
the head.
Ancient
cockroach was discovered at a mine in Noije Bum, Myanmar by German
researcher named Ziggi Ellenberger. Initially, scientists suspect that
this specimen is the mantis. But thanks to the explanation of Dr. Peter
Vrsansky of the Geological Institute of Bratislava and the Slovak
Academy of Sciences, that view changed.
"This little monster is a quiet hunter, able to run very fast, able to fly suddenly, and has very long legs," said Vrsansky.
As
reported by New Scientist on Thursday, April 30, 2015, at the time of
the dinosaurs there are many types of cockroaches predators. Cockroach
ancient predators that continue to evolve and is now leaving only one
type of derivative, the mantises.
Mantises
have the front feet characteristics such as Manipulator modificaputis
and a close relative of the cockroach. Through this discovery, Vrsansky
suggest the revisions of Dictyoptera classification, super-order that
includes the nation of thermite, cockroaches, and mantises. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NEW SCIENTIST]
US space agency, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has developed the future vehicle called Modular Robotic Vehicle (MRV) at the NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston. MRV is made with the boxy body design and without a roof. It also has a small size ie 2.1 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and weighs only 907 kilograms. The cabin can be carried only two people. Power source comes from a battery that has a mileage of 100 kilometers for one recharge. Its maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour.
The most unique thing of MRV is the use of a new feature, e-corners, which is able to make all four wheels can rotate approximately 180 degrees. This can help the driver when maneuvering in narrow streets. Because of the NASA design the MRV as urban public transport.

"This two-seater vehicle designed to meet the challenges and demands of the growing urban transportation. MRV is ideal because of its size small and agile maneuver which could provide an advantage in runs and on-site parking is limited," said Mason Markee, a spokesman for Johnson Space Center as quoted by the Daily Mail on Wednesday, April 16, 2015.
Until now there has been no further information about when this car will be produced as well as the selling price. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILYMAIL | INHABITAT]
A sedan type vehicle parked on the roadside caught the attention of citizens in the city of Milan, Italy. A car called GEA Concept is a sedan of Italdesign Giugiaro which introduced in the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland in March 2015, but was parked on the roadside without cover, as quoted from Inautonews on Sunday, May 3, 2015.
The car looks has 2-pair of rims that designed with 60 spokes and a diameter of 26 inches. GEA body part looks more bigger than the sedan in general with 5.37 meters long, 1.98 m width, and height of 1.46 m.
This car is designed by Wolfgang Egger, the Italdesign Giugiaro's Head of Design. Even though it looks big, these vehicles are made of lightweight materials such as magnesium, carbon fiber and aluminum, so it has a weighs only 2,000 kilograms.
In GEA cabin there are two touch screen size of 19 inches. The front passenger seat can be rotated 180 degrees, to allow it to deal with passengers in the back seat. The car also features a smartphone connection to entertainment features, GPS, and weather conditions.
This sedan power source comes from four 142 KW electric motors. The power output reached 764 hp with a maximum speed of 250 kilometers per hour (155 mph). The battery can be recharged through the induction system, thereby eliminating the need for cables and electric sockets.
Although already seen on the street, but there has been no official statement from Italdesign Giugiaro matter of time and the selling price of the production version of the GEA. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | INAUTONEWS]
When
we heard the news about the Tyrannosaurus rex (T. rex) generally are
reminded of a very large body size, has a fierce and ferocious face.
However, the impression is quite different from the fossils of T-Rex 's
relatives that found in Chile.
Chilesaurus diegosuarezi walked on its hind legs as other theropods did. It also had robust forelimbs that looked like those of other Jurassic theropods, such as the Allosaurus, the researchers said. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1GAZvDU)
Chilesaurus
diegosuarezi is the relatives of Tyrannosaurus rex alias the renowned
ancient carnivorous meat eater. However, Chilesaurus diegosuarezi was
not follow the footsteps of their relatives, and evolved into
herbivores.
"When
I saw the shape of the bones, there seems to be different," said
Fernando Novas, one of the researchers of Berbardino Rivadavia Museum of
Natural Sciences in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He argues, this dinosaur seem unusual because different combinations of the three types of groups other dinosaurs.
When
it was in 2010, two geologists found several fossils around Chile. One
is Chilesaurus diegosuarezi. Since these findings, the Chile and
Argentina cooperate researching dozens of fossil Chilesaurus.
Although
not all parts of the dinosaur was discovered, researchers found
something different. Chilesaurus had a small skull, long neck but large,
and the legs are not straight. "Chilesaurus's legs is to walk, not for
run," said Novas.
Chilesaurus
diegosuarezi has characteristics of three different dinosaur groups.
Its pubic bone points backward like that of an ornithischian dinosaur,
perhaps because it provided the gut more surface area with which to
digest plant matter, the researchers said. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1GAZvDU)
Meanwhile,
according to Thomas Carr of Carthage College in Wisconsin, Chilesaurus
an amazingly unique species. Because, through Chilesaurus findings can
be known about the evolution of dinosaurs. Such as the type of theropod
dinosaurs that walked on foot and meat eaters, it can evolve into
herbivores or plant eaters.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LIVESCIENCE]
