Here she is the real face of Norton V4 superbike

The newest superbike of Norton released in two versions namely Norton V4 SS and RR. However, the Norton V4 SS produced as much as 200 units are already fully booked, and the remaining V4 RR models are still waiting for the world premiere in the UK Bike Show.

Norton V4 engine built independently by Norton, using a 72-degree V4 engine configuration with a capacity of 1,200 cc. Simon argued that by using the 72 degrees machine further facilitate the design of the frame to appear as a naked bike, rather than the 90-degree V4 engine configuration. In addition, the frames are prepared for the model in the segment below it later.

The machine is capable of producing more than 200 horsepower at 12,500 rpm, and torque of 130 Nm at 10,000 rpm. And equipped with three riding modes; namely Road, Sport and Pro-Race.

Norton V4 RR's appearance also expensive, at least with the use Öhlins NIX30 suspension front and Öhlins TTXGP on the rear, then there's the brakes system from Brembo, and LED lights.

Uniquely on the panel instruments, there are the screen to display the image from the rear camera. Certainly not to backwards, but still in line with the inspiration of the Isle of Man TT, if the superbike later used on the race.

Simon also explained that the V4 RR comes complete with many sophisticated electronic features such as leaning ABS, wheelie control, launch control, traction control, autoblipping, quick shifter and the IMU electronic features package.

With such a complete figure of Norton V4 RR only has an empty weight of 179 kg. Compare with the SS variant that has been sold out previously, with a weight of about 199 kg. And the Norton V4 RR will produced in small numbers with the price estimated in the UK about £28,000 approx Rp.460 million.

The world's fastest purely electric-powered car

NextEV, a pioneering company from China through its sub-brand NIO, on Monday, November 21, 2016 has kept his promise to introduce for the first time a new electric powered hypercar named 'NIO EP9' at the Saatchi Gallery, London, England. Reportedly, only six units of the NIO EP9 will be built, and all six have been reserved for the company's founding investors.

The hypercar with a weight of 3,825 lbs (1427.65 kg) is specifically designed similar to the European sports cars, and claimed to be the fastest electric-powered car in the world. 

The NIO EP9 driven by four electric motors pinned on each wheels that can generate power of 1 megawatts, which is equivalent to 1,360 horse power and torque of 1,480 Nm.

NextEV said that the NIO EP9 already been tested at the Nurburgring circuit Nordschliefe, Germany in October, 2016. In that trial, the NIO EP9 able to devour the whole 20,8 km racing track in 7 minutes 05.12 seconds, beating the previous record and make it as the fastest electric-powered car in the world.

Other trials also been held at the Paul Richard Circuit, France on November 4, 2016. In that time, the NIO EP9 recorded a time of 1 minute 52.78 seconds, beating the previous record time of 2 minutes 40 seconds.

"Today we launched a new electric-powered hypercar has broken the records in Nordschliefe. The NIO EP9 born to break the boundaries and the first phase of production NIO," said William Li, the founder and CEO's NextEV.

Li also said that the NIO EP9 is proof that electric cars will be the future of the automotive industry, along with the development of technology and manufacturing capabilities in the world of electric-powered vehicles.

How the Coral Castle of Edward Leedskalnin was build?

Coral Castle is an oolite limestone structure located in Leisure City, Florida and built by Edward Leedskalnin (1887–1951), a strange and mysterious figure that said, "I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids and how the ancient Egyptians, Peru, Yucatan and Asia to lift weighing tons of stones only with primitive equipment."

Edward Leedskalnin is the one who built the famous Coral Castle over 28 years in north of the city of Homestead, Florida. But he had passed away on December 7, 1951 and bring all his knowledge into the grave. Until now people can only guess, how he build the Coral Castle.

Some people then figure out how was his knowledge and work to unravel the mystery of how the ancient building is built. Here's the opinion of some people and experts on how was Edward Leedskalnin build the Coral Castle.

Some say that he may have discovered the secret of the architects who built the monuments of ancient times such as the pyramids and Stonehenge.

was build the Coral Castle, where he used the

Some say maybe Edward uses some sort of anti-gravity equipment to build the Coral Castle. David Hatcher Childress, author of 'Anti Gravity and The World Grid,' has an interesting theory.  According to him, the Coral Castle located in South Florida area which has a strong diamagnetic that could make a floating object. Moreover, in the South Florida area is still considered part of the Bermuda Triangle.

David believes that Edward Leedskalnin using diamagnetic earth net principles that enabled him to lift the boulder using the center of mass. David also refers to Edward's notebook that shows the schemes of magnetic and electrical experiments in it. Although the statement of David smelling science, but the esoteric principles still visible in it.

Another writer named Ray Stoner also supports this theory. He even believes that Edward moved the Coral Castle to Homestead because he realized the mathematical calculation errors in determining the location of the Coral Castle.

So he moved it to the area that has the advantage in magnetic strength terms. Finally after obtained the images that taken while Edward was build the Coral Castle, where he used the same method used by modern workers, using a principle called block and tackles.

It is still unknown how Edward Leedskalnin building the Coral Castle. Still became the unsolved mystery based on those information above. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | WIKIPEDIA]

An autonomous electric sportbike displayed in Dubai

Vehicles with the autonomous technology apparently also began to be applied on a motorcycle, it could be looks on a sportbike named 'Autonomous Street Racer,' developed and produced by a Danish technology company called Next Road Vehicle (NeRVe).

The founder and Chief Technology Officer of NeRVe, Soeren O. Ekelund said that the Autonomous Street Racer is an exciting sportbike in the world of transport and mobility.

"The next development is forcing people to think of this concept for public and private transport. In the future, the vehicles have to be more flexible, stronger, faster, smarter and environmentally friendly," said Ekelund, as quoted from Gulfnews on Wednesday, November 16 2016.

"The existence of this motorcycle make us no longer just think about a vehicle that meets the need to bring someone from point A to B, is no longer like that. We need to consider the needs of society as a whole," said Ekelund furthermore.

Unfortunately, the company not mention any detailed specifications and technical data of the Autonomous Street Racer. This super high performance electric street race motorcycle capable of below 1.5 seconds at 0-100 km/hr and potentially topping out above 300 km/hr without being controlled directly by humans as a rider.

NeRVe claimed that their electric motorcycle potentially toping out 300 kph without a rider on board and can park itself. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1flFZ4)

This future motorcycle has become one of the stars in the 2nd International Conference on Future Mobility which held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 14-15, 2016. Last month, this motorcycle concept has also been on display at the NaTrans Expo held in Abu Dhabi.

In our opinion, if a self-driving car might play a realistic role in the future’s mobility, we can’t see why you should buy an autonomous motorcycle. What can you do while on a motorcycle? We thought, just hold the handlebars nothing else. What do you think?
