1001 Horsepower

Posted by Jo in Cars, Concept Cars (November 19, 2007 at 1:51 am)

 Used to be the fastest street car Bugatti Veyron made by Volkswagen is now on its second place, following SSC Aero TT making 257.45 mph speed. But despite the category Bugatti Veyron is still much expensive than Aero TT, Bugatti sells for $1.2M or ₤810,000.00 while Aero TT has a price of $500,00 or ₤ 320,000.00or so. Obviously, the price difference is because of how it was made. 

 When we talk of Bugatti Veyron it is a car that speaks elegance, power, class and authenticity. It prides itself for its 1001 horsepower. A car that can speed up like that needs a bigger engine. But this car was able to make that speed in small engines of ten that can produce much air pressure. Through this, it generates 5 liters of gasoline per minute or 48 liters to produce 1001 horsepower. Other than its speed, nothing can be said with the luxury and comfort its interior gives. There are only 90 cars produce and you have to wait on list for you to be prioritize. So if your one of those oil company executives, get one. For those who can’t afford, let’s dream and hope will never hit one of this.

Sports Car Technology

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars (November 15, 2007 at 5:50 am)

 If you doesn’t care with the design and rather go for speed you need sports car. Sports car is all about performance that can be attributed to its lightweight, well –engineered and balance chassis. It’s engine and speed performance is much important than the design and comfort the car may give. Any car like muscle cars, convertibles and even luxury cars can perform high – speed required in a sports car as long as they have the engine capable of doing so.

 Since sports car is all about acceleration, it does all depend in the kind of engine the car posses. Before larger engines are much appreciated but because of technology you could have a speeding a sports car in a smaller engine and save a lot in gas mileage. These factors where not much of a great deal before as long as it is speeding, but now we can economize and speed up. Soon, new thing will come out again with these sports cars, there’s always something new to be excited about in car technology.

Car Goddess

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars ( at 5:00 am)

There seems to be no exact word to describe an exotic sports car. It’s beyond every car; hot, sexy; cool; sweet they are more than that. Exotic sports cars are made for showcasing the most sophisticated car technology of today. They are outrageously beautiful, fast and awfully expensive.…$$$$$$$. They are not meant for any realistic spending, every thing is spent to make every head turn whenever it pass.  Its design of tight curves and absolute high-speed performance makes it different from the others. While people look for design but car enthusiast seeks the speed.

Most of the great exotic cars came from Europe like Germany and France, Japan but Italians exotics are such awe. Some of the exotic cars are Diablo, Murcielago, Gallardo and one of the best – Ferrari. I saw a Hamann Ferrari 599 GTB on the web, wow…it has a power output of 673 bhp plus a very dark black, you just have to see it. Exotic sports car – they are car goddess.

The Most Awaited Flying Cars

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars (November 13, 2007 at 4:50 am)

Most of us had seed this on the Jetson’s, fairly thinking at those times that it is impossible to have one even in the near future. Well, who would taught, we would be actually having them soon. This arises from the present problems we are having with the increase in numbers of cars on the road that causes heavy traffic jams, which practically eats our time. And still out transportation system have not offered any solution to this problem.

 Flying cars or roadable aircraft is a vehicle that can travel on road and fly too, so you don’t have to wait long hours for cars to move in a traffic jam. Flying cars merges the car and the plane, it has a capacity of four persons. Flying car comes in two styles – the integrated where the wings are attached to the vehicle even if it will travel on the road. While the other one is modular, flying pieces are left at the airport when the vehicle needs to travel on the road. There are many studies conducted for this vehicle to be realized. And it is not far that we will see one or will soon have one in the next few decades. Car enthusiast will be very excited to have one when it comes available, I’m sure they can be customize as well.

Small But Terrible

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars (November 9, 2007 at 6:45 am)

Seems like the perfect car every one wants. Smart car seems to be the answer to our every day’s problem with traffic, parking and fuel cost. Yes, smart car is indeed that. It is perfectly designed for a fast – pace every day life, for people who are always on the go, beats time and still want top economize in many ways. Smart cars are those we see on the road with small sizes and stylish looks. The outside and inside of the smart car offers many benefits to its owner. It is design for maximum comfort, quickness, safety, environment friendly and is fun to drive. The original idea with smart car was that the vehicle would be easy to park.

There’s more at the inside of the smart car; lots of space some unusable stuff for a while can be use for other thing. Other than this, some parts of the smart car can be replaced as often as you want. Through to its name, it’s really smart. Manufacturers of smart car continue to innovate this kind of car, innovating it more and more to suit the human’s lifestyle. Despite its great advantage it still has its limitation, yet there are still those who look for greater space where many people can sit in and still be able to put a lot of stuff in the back. I have not yet seen a smart car used for racing.

Bare It All

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars ( at 2:53 am)

Rat rod is the original hot rod style of the early 1950’s wherein the not so important parts of it were removed. Different parts and pieces of different makes and models complete it. What makes rat rod different from others is it is simply built to run without any concern  for its appearance. Rat rod does not need to be that glamorous or have that great finish painting or design.

A rat rod may look unfinished but it is actually finish already, the barer the better. The important is that every thing in the rat rod – interior and exterior is functional, though this may vary because of the rat rodder’s taste. The owner of the rat rod does most of the work. A rat rodder may wish to paint it or just live it bare, but most of the painting rat rods have is the rust color, or really bare. There is no ideal rat rod looks, each rat rod is uniquely made. There have been some idea that rat rod is not safe to drive because of its bareness and the absence of parts that would supposedly keep the driver in safe. Well, that is what actually makes it unique and that’s what matters in a rat rod.

Cool Custom Car Color Paint

Posted by Jo in Cars, Concept Cars, tips (November 2, 2007 at 4:06 am)

Color paint is an important concern in a custom car.  As a matter of fact the paint of the car makes a big scene in car shows, a custom with great color paint may even get an award for it. The color paint you choose may depend highly on your personality, the style of the car and its function. Large percentage of the decision will come from you, but you should also consider the opinion of professional car painter. Some colors would really just look good in the mind but when painted the colors actually do not jive, only the professional will know this.

Many ideas can be seen everywhere as to what is the cool color paint. But it is important to have your own idea and be unique as possible. The right color paint - a heavy, shinny paint job will surely make any custom car stand out among the rest. The popular paint scheme today is two – color paint. Color paints that are a delight today are those earth tones-coppers, gold, burnt oranges, browns, cinnamons, deep red, shades of green, lighter metallic, pearl colors and the come back of metal flake. Good color paint must compliment the car, adding to the car’s attraction rather than the color paint is the only thing attractive in the custom car. Taking care of the color paint is important to make it last. Other than the color paint, customizer can add design on the paint to make it more personal and unique.

Having a car with a nice paint is the greatest reward for the car owner. The first question a car owner needs to answer in having car paint is do you hire a car painter or you do it by yourself?
