Mustang's name in the United States is famous for two different things, the Ford Mustang muscle car and the World War II P51 Mustang warplanes.
To combine two equally iconic Mustang names, Roush Performance launches a car figure named Roush P-51 Mustang, with an identical look like an airplane that inspires it.
And Roush Performance itself is a Ford car specialist modifier, especially the Mustang, as well as those who are given responsibility for Ford's racing engines in NASCAR and GTLM.
As for Roush P-51 Mustang, the muscle car carries a standard Coyote V8 engine with a capacity of 5.0 liters, only now has been given additional 2.3 liters TVS supecharger. Do not stop there, Roush also provide increased power through the Roush stage 2 package, so that power skyrocketed to reach 727 hp.
To control that much power, Roush Mustang P-51 gets TrakPak axle, 3-way adjustable coilover, and Brembo brake package, and accompanied by a 19-inch rim wrapped by Continental ExtremeContact 295/35 ZR19 tires.
With all of those things, Roush Mustang P-51 is claimed as the most powerful muscle car on the planet and only made as many as 51 units is more fierce with spoiler, carbon fiber splitter, and a typical Roush Mustang bumper. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ROUSH PERFORMANCE | AUTOBLOG]

Not Toyota, Honda, Suzuki or Daihatsu, but Mitsubishi is the first time to have cars sold to Japanese society.
Mitsubishi has a factory located in Okazaki, Aichi, Japan. Around the factory there is a Mitsubishi Auto Gallery that contains vehicles in the early days of Mitsubishi. Well that's where we can see at a glance Mitsubishi car history.

The car is one of Mitsubishi's core businesses, in addition to cars, Mitsubishi also has other industries that are very large and diverse, ranging from ships, aircraft to rockets. Another business lines like food and fashion even Mitsubishi has it.
History of Mitsubishi actually began in the 1870s but they just made a real car in 1917, so in 2017 Mitsubishi Motors Corporations is already 100 years old. So what's the first car made by Mitsubishi? The car was Mitsubishi Model A. This car is inspired from European cars in that era. This car is also listed as the first mass-produced Japanese passenger car.
This car uses an engine with a capacity of 2,800 cc with a length of 3.8 meters and only produced as many as 30 units including the prototype. But unfortunately the model on display at this Museum was not the original model, but a replica of size 7:10. The replica in its original form are being borrowed.

This year as Mitsubishi Motors' 100th anniversary celebration and collaborated with West Coast Customs the renowned American custom workshop, they revived the Mitsubishi Model A. The car will be built from the most advanced Mitsubishi platform today - the platform that produces the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV).
Although the model was an old-school model, the car will have the latest features such as a highly efficient 2.0-litre gasoline engine and two high-performance electric motors, and Mitsubishi’s superior Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV delivers SUV capabilities and EV fuel economy. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | OTO-DETIK | WHEELS.CA]

Velocity Sculpture- Some cars are built to get you from point A to point B. Others are created to make your heart race before you even touch the steering wheel. The Aston Martin Valkyrie falls into the latter category—a machine that doesn’t just belong on the road, but in the realm of dreams and daring engineering. It’s the kind of hypercar that seems to have been pulled straight from a sci-fi movie and then fine-tuned by some of the sharpest minds in motorsport.
Marek Reichman of Aston Martin, Adrian Newey of Red Bull and the F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo was unveil the AM-RB 001 aka Aston Martin Valkyrie at Gaydon back 2016.(Picture from: AstonMartin)
The Valkyrie’s journey began as the AM-RB 001 concept back in 2016, a collaboration between Aston Martin, Red Bull Advanced Technologies, and AF Racing. Since its first appearance, the team has been obsessively refining every contour, surface, and component.

Aerodynamics weren’t just a consideration—they were the guiding principle. The car’s teardrop-shaped upper cockpit blends seamlessly with a sculpted chassis that serves more than just aesthetics. Every curve and contour is guided by function, ensuring the Valkyrie slices through the air with precision.

At the heart of this design is a Venturi tunnel—an ingenious channel running beneath the car to the rear diffuser. This system creates immense downforce without the need for bulky aerodynamic attachments, preserving the Valkyrie’s flowing, uninterrupted silhouette.

The exterior speaks a language of speed. Even the headlights are trimmed down with inspiration from Formula 1 engineering, making them up to 40 percent lighter than the brand’s previous lightest units. Weight savings continue in the tiniest details—like the badge. Instead of the standard emblem, the Valkyrie wears a chemically etched aluminum logo that’s thinner than a human hair and nearly weightless. It’s a small touch, but in a car of this caliber, every gram matters.

Traditional rearview mirrors?Gone. In their place, discreet cameras relay crystal-clear images to the driver, cutting out aerodynamic drag while offering a wider, cleaner view of the surroundings. It’s a subtle change, but one that perfectly matches the Valkyrie’s obsession with performance.

Step inside, and the racing DNA becomes even more apparent. The seats are bolted directly to the chassis, positioning the driver’s legs straight out ahead—just like in a Formula 1 machine or a Le Mans prototype. A four-point harness keeps both driver and passenger firmly in place, making it clear that this is built for speed, not leisurely Sunday drives.

Everything in the cockpit is designed to keep the driver’s attention forward. Gear changes happen via paddles on the steering wheel, and all critical information appears on a single OLED display. The steering wheel itself is removable—not just for easier entry and exit, but also as an extra layer of security, a hallmark of pure race cars.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a statement of what’s possible when artistry meets uncompromising performance engineering. It takes the precision of the track and blends it with the soul of a road car, creating something that feels as much alive as it is mechanical. Seeing it is one thing, but hearing it and driving it? That’s the sort of experience that stays with you long after the engine falls silent. *** [EKA [18072017] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ASTON MARTIN | MOTORTREND | JALOPNIK ]

Loving futuristic things make Peterson Rivai successfully won the Honda Modif Contest 2016 on National Matic Class. Now, when he challenged to pour his idea on the Honda Dream Ride Project 2017, he again presents a future-themed motorcycle, which is named 'Future Sport Bike CBR250RR'.

"From the first I was interested in matters relating to the future, including for motorcycles. That's why I made the Future Sport Bike Concept because I like to fancy about future motorcycles," said the man who likes the science fiction movies to NaikMotor.
No half-hearted, to support the Future Bike concept view, the buider from Bandung-based workshop named Zone Modified Project is to make itself almost all the details on the motorcycle. Starting from the fairing, bodylight, rims, front forks, headlight, stoplamp, and turn lights at the end of the brake lever.

According to Peterson, the difficulty in the manufacturing process is to unify the concept as a whole. Because Honda gave the requirement that the characteristics of a standard motorcycle must remain visible. There are two choices, tank and headlamp (fairing). If changing the tank then it should not change the headlamp and vice versa.

"Most difficult to make a front girder. After that just combine the concept of design as a whole, between the tank, girder and fairing. Because the tank can not be changed. I choose a tank because if the bike use a standard headlamp will not fit the concept," he said.
For the body is 'matching' now turn to adjust the height of the air suspension. "If people see first will say, it's too short, can it run? So we use this air suspension. The point is to set the higher-lower position is difficult to fit the proportion of the body," he said.
After three months of making process, finally the Future Bike Concept completed and then introduced in Jogyakarta. However, Peterson admits he still wants more. "For the design is satisfied, but still feel there is less hell in detail. Yes because of time constraints actually," he concluded. Kept

Do not know why, when I saw this Honda custom motorcycle on Naikmotor page for the first time, I immediately fell in love with it. Maybe this is called Love at first sight. Yes, the figure of the enchanting custom motorcycle with café racer theme is built from the base of Honda CBR250RR by Lunatic Custom Motorcycle Jakarta for the 'Honda Dream Ride Project 2017'.

According to the builder Yuwono Jati of Lunatic Custom Motorcycle Jakarta, the basic idea in developing the concept of café Racer in the Honda Dream Ride Project 2017 is very different from the café racer concept in general. Inevitably the result of Honda CBR250RR Neo Café Racer this time is a sweet blending between classic and modern concept.
Indeed the builder is very fond of the café racer theme, besides that he wants to make something far different from the original images. The standard view of the CBR250RR is instantly overhauled based on the concepts that he made after long discussions with the Honda Dream Ride Project 2017 mentors.

Yuwono Jati totally changed the body of motorcycle by removing all of the standard fairing. Although impressed classical but the new fairing is quite modern, and he also did not make the fairing one fully set and let the engine form a little exposed.
Indeed, there is no total change, there are still some old parts that are deliberately maintained like a standard tank, and the mainframe also does not change to match the Honda's requirements for this event.
He then thought how to make the fairings with old-fashioned looks can still be pleasing to the eye when combined with the modern looks of standard CBR250RR tank. Because if one component wrong implementation would damage the overall concept, where the outline of the Neo Café Racer.

To reinforce the classical impression he uses the spokes rims, then drumbrakes, and classic tread tires from Firestone. Then some innate parts are also not totally replaced, just by changing the original shape such as swing arm, then footstep, and lastly with the selection of white color.
Honda CBR250RR Custom Neo Café Racer have been tested on the streets as far as 500 km to prove the control is still comfortable for daily use. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2vjcUNt)
In the selection of colors, the builder deliberately chose a white color to reinforce the classic impression. And the rest for the frame and the legs are given gunmetal color, a little warm accent with red in the seat and mounting Honda-wing logo on the side of the tank.
Honda CBR250RR Neo Café Racer was built for three months, then introduced to the media through a special event in Yogyakarta. In addition, this motorcycle is also tested with a total distance of about 500 km along with other custom motorcycles. The goal is to prove that the custom motorcycle remains comfortable while on riding.
According to the builder, in the process of making this custom motorcycle until to appear maximally almost without significant constraints, only the limited processing time can be regarded as a major obstacle, and according to him also the limited time is a bit inhibiting to get the best quality results according to the his workshop standards.

The world is currently concentrating on autonomous vehicles that have been developed by many automotive manufacturers. Autonomous cars or cars without drivers are often expected to be technologies that will be able to serve mankind and simplify their performance when under the car's control.
T-Pod, the world's first autonomous and emission-free road-based transportation system by Einride. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2ufJTW7)
But it turns out autonomous technology is not only targeted to develop technology to cars and motorcycles as developed by Honda some time ago. The automation technology is also developed for this truck. Under the name T-Pod, this white truck prototype made by Swedish-company named Einride is expected to be the first truck that uses an autonomous system while working.
And even more cool is that Einride-made trucks can go just like Tesla's electric-fueled car. So it is certain that this truck will save energy and not cause pollution because it does not emit emissions. This truck has a fairly large dimension with antelope-like logo on the front.
This autonomous truck has a total weight of 70 tons if it is in full condition, with a length of up to 7 meters. The unique thing is that this truck does not need the driver directly, because under conditions when driving on the highway this truck can use a fully autonomous system while if on the city streets this truck can be override by human-hand remotely.
As quoted of Autoblog, Einride is currently developing the charging infrastructure for its T-Pod, and plans to have a finished truck available to customers later this year. By 2020, the company plans to have 200 T-Pods operating on a route between the cities of Gothenburg and Helsingborg, Sweden, moving 2 million pallets of goods per year.
After seen and knew it, we can only hope that in the near future there will be present much more of useful technologies and as well as facilitate mankind work. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | EINRIDE | AUTOBLOG]
