Although it has been created with an exotic shapely body combined with the greatest power bursts of V12 engine, always there somebody wanting the Lambo Aventador SV of them look more 'wild' than the standard version. For that, Novitec come back by presenting the newest outfit for the Italian's ferocious bull.
The German auto tuner house is known the fiddling champion of the Italian exotic supercars, including Ferrari and Lamborghini. Now, they have presented Torado, a special touches for Lamborghini. This time the Novitec's crews uncover the potential of Aventador Superveloce with special upgrades that will be brought the Lambo climb up one level higher.
Changes in the physical part was first launched by Novitec Torado to maximize the aerodynamic potential of the Italian bull, which uses special lightweight parts made of carbon fiber on the side of the front splitter, rocker panels, air intakes at the front, side and massive sized rear wing.

The combination of aesthetic concoction seems increasingly aggressive and fun to be seen thanks to the aerodynamic package is enhanced by a brand-new set of its alloy rims made by Vossen with a size of 20 inch in the front and 21 inch rear and wrapped by the Pirelli P-Zero tires.
Not stopping there, the power burst that made by its V12 engine with a capacity of 6.5 liters which is embedded in the Aventador SV has been increased up to 786 hp, was 46 hp more powerfull than the standard version of Aventador SV which is 'only' 740 hp, through computer tuning, structuring a new exhaust system and 'diet' so that the weight cut by 25 kg from the total weight. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NOVITEC GROUP | TOP GEAR]
After nearly 13 years on, here it's the JAS39 Gripen NG (Next Generation) the latest and greatest fighter jet version made by Sweden aircraft manufacturer Saab has been launched for the first time from the production hangar, in Linköping, Sweden. The JAS39 Gripen NG launching ceremony was held on Wednesday morning, May 18, 2016 in front of about 100 journalists from around the world and high-ranking officers of invited countries.
According to Haakan Buske, CEO of Saab, who witnessed the JAS39 Gripen research and development, which is the commitment of Saab, has always been developed with the latest technology charge of all aspects. Although not a big bodied and the most powerful, yet JAS39 Gripen known also has the capability that should not be underestimated.
JAS39 Gripen NG can also be referred as JAS39 Gripen E/F (E for single-seat and F for double seat), which are still capable of qualified in-class multirole combat aircraft, for the operation of air-to-air, air-to-ground, and observations and air patrols in order to achieve air supremacy.
While the launch ceremony held at the JAS39 Gripen NG production hangar, outside Flygvapen Museum by displaying two mock-up (full scale model) of the JAS39 Gripen jets. The museum is located at the runway where the planes made by Saab usual be tested before it was handed over to the customer. Inside the museum are stored and laid out the aerospace history of Sweden.
The first is JAS39 Gripen C/D and adjacent JAS39 Gripen NG. Both appear in the actual size and some mock-up materials made of real materials. Both of these mock-ups appear in different colors though equally dominated by gray. JAS39 Gripen C/D performed in the usual gray camouflage and JAS39 Gripen NG in digital camouflage specifically designed for it.In plain view, there are a few that stand out. Among them, in the cockpit of JAS39 Gripen NG, there is only one large-sized head-up display/HUD, than three units pinned on JAS39 Gripen C/D.
The content of fighters management and avionics technology also been several steps ahead conceived its "big brother,' JAS39 Gripen C/D ie NetCentric Warfare. This technology's job to keep everything in the multirole mission operating system that run by JAS39 Gripen NG remains flexible and ensure the stability of data traffic in its datalink functions.
Here is championed by Saab to address the needs of the operator will be the permissibility fighter jets said to be "intelligent", ie the exchange of data takes place simultaneously in the country's defense system.So that is seen and read one JAS39 Gripen NG increasingly sophisticated and increasingly stable and can be simultaneous read and analyzed by the command center, or tanks on land, ships at sea, even a point defense batteries.
There were several countries are considering using the SAAB fighter jets, such as Slovakia has been decided to choose JAS39 Gripen, as well as Brazil bought 28 JAS39 Gripen NG and eight JAS39 Gripen F, Thailand bought eight JAS39 Gripen C and four JAS39 Gripen D, United Kingdom renting one JAS39 Gripen D for their fighter pilot school, Czech Republic hired 12 JAS39 Gripen C and two JAS39 Gripen D, Hungary hired 12 JAS39 Gripen C and two JAS39 Gripen D, as well as South Africa bought 17 JAS39 Gripen C and nine JAS39 Gripen D. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SAAB]
After absence of nearly 44 years, the American famous motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson (HD) now brought back their flat track models, XG750R into the racing arena. The motorcycle models are being sought by many two wheels lovers, especially for the modification reference.

As quoted from Jalopnik and Motorcycle, on Sunday, May 29, 2016, the flat track motorcycle is holding a two-cylinder V-twin engine with cubication of 750 cc. The machine has applied the injection system with a liquid-cooled. HD also cooperate with aftermarket manufacturers named Vance & Hines to develop this bike.
The motorcycle looks more aggressive, young and remain exclusive, with the bursts of two colors paints of red and black. Moreover, this HD XG750R accompanied by a different design on each side, so that will make this bike looks has two personalities.
Davis Fisher, a racer of Harley's Factory Team became the first person who rode the Harley's new motorcycle in the AMA Pro Racing. It also became the first competition arena for the Harley Davidsn XG750R, which took place at the Springfield Mile on Sunday, May 29, 2016. These motorcycles will also be back on display at the X-Games 2016 in Austin, Texas on June 2, 2016.

Harley Davidson has an interesting position as a motorcycle brand. And indeed the most of Harley's riders imaged as a person who has well-established and tend primitive.
However, on the other hand, HD actually has the potential to create a product that can capture the target of the new market and more interesting, maybe one of them begins with a the HD XG750R. This motorcycle product was replacing the X750R that been existed and famous in the 1970s.

It turns out the Japanese supercar did not want to miss to use hybrids technology. This is the specification of hybrid engines installed on the latest Acura NSX, the drivetrain is capable of spraying the power up to 500 hp.

The latest Acura NSX was using a hybrid technology that consisted with a V6 engine with a capacity of 3,493 cc plus 3 units electric motors. Wherein one electric motor unit is in the back and placed between the engine and transmission system that capable of spewing power of 47 hp. While the two other units placed on both its front wheels and each is capable of generating power by 37 hp.
Interestingly, in addition to boost the power, hybrid system on Acura NSX is also used to improve the car's handling. That is why, this car uses two electric motors on the two front wheels. Both motors installed independently on each axle and has a function like the vectoring brake.

The difference, the vectoring brake slows rotating speed on one of the wheels, but the electric motor in this car it will increase the rotating speed on one of the wheels. Means, the strength of the electric motors in the NSX allow the super handling all-wheel drive setup to be running even at low vehicle and engine speeds.
The Japanese brand also touting the car’s lightweight multi-material body and spaceframe as revolutionary and Acura claims that the car is 'by far the most rigid in its competitive set.' The space frame is made primarily from aluminum and ultra-high-strength steel which is anchored by a carbon fiber floor.
To achieve the car’s high rigidity, Acura is using the world’s first application of ablation casting, which blends traditional casting methods with a rapid cooling technique that results in flexibility with the design and rigidity of the casting but also the ductility and energy absorption characteristics of extruded material. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | HYBRID CARS | MOTORTREND]
A famous Italian designer named Aldo Drudi through the design house of his named Drudi Performance eventually show the latest and out of his unconventional project. No longer designed the helmet for the MotoGP riders, but now he poured his creative idea to make a concept of motorcycle-based of the Honda VFR 1200X.
Conservative character of Honda VFR 1200X changed. And through Drudi's creative hand directly change bodywork with the use of a longer suspension. The power source is taken from a 1,237 cc V4 engine that is still considered to be qualified by Drudi and his team. They call the motorcycle concept by the name of Burasca 1200.

In addition to the name of a mountain in Italy, Alta Burasca, it means also "storm". Such as wind, Drudi and his team cut the weight of the Honda VFR1200X be 30 kg lighter. Other touch by installing a few aftermarket features such as, NIX Öhlins for front suspension and rear shock with Öhlins TTX 36, Nissin brakes, LED lights and Akrapovič custom exhaust.Within
about three weeks Drudi working to change the design of two-dimensional
becoming to three-dimensional, and it manifested itself nicely with an
impressive aura.

Once again, the technology that previously only existed in science fiction movies is now be a reality. The transparent aluminum is present in the film Star Trek: The Voyage Home, will soon be used as raw material for the body of smartphones and watches.
Dr. Jas Sanghera and colleagues at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) invented a new way of making transparent spinel. "The advantage [of spinel] is it's so much tougher, stronger, harder than glass," says Sanghera. "For weight-sensitive platforms—UAVs [unmanned autonomous vehicles], head-mounted face shields—it's a game-changing technology." Spinel also could be used for watches and consumer electronics, like the smart phone. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1akh14)
The maker and also a scientist from the US Naval Research Laboratory, Dr. Jas Sanghera explained that this material is a mixture of mineral and magnesium aluminate. The advantages of transparent aluminum is much harder and stronger than glass.
As quoted of Ubergizmo on Thursday, November 5, 2015, with these characteristics make this material can provide better protection of the environment can withstand extremes such as sand and rain erosion.

Sanghera also explained the manufacturing process of the aluminum transparent. "We put the powder with high pressure, pressed under vacuum airtight and then aluminum will look transparent," he said.
After that aluminum will be polished before further refined into other uses, such as for the bulletproof glass. In the future, these materials can be used as raw material for the manufacturing of mobile devices. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | US NRL | UBERGIZMO]
