The Continental Supersports is the ultimate Bentley: the fastest and most powerful Bentley ever produced. It is a supercar with two seats, that provides the owner high performance and a extremely focused driving experience. The Supersports is able of running on petrol (gasoline) and biofuel (this being a first in Bentley’s history), revolutionizing the use of FlexFuel technology in the luxury sector. This is a step that the company considers necessary taking in order to make its whole model range compatible with renewable fuels by 2012.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
The Continental Supersports is purchasable worldwide since autumn 2009, and it will be FlexFuel compatible in the greater part of markets from launch with North American cars. The Continental Supersports started as a somehow secret project, Bentley testing the possibilities of weight reduction on the Continental GT but with more power and torque. This project lasted about 24 months, when it finally came to an end, presenting a new car program, designed by a small group of passionate Bentley engineers.

The Supersports sets new performance standards for Bentley: 630PS (621 bhp) and new ‘Quickshift’ transmission that halves shift times, acceleration from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds) onto a top speed of 204 mph (329 km/h). The performance of this supercar is completed by some improvements of the chassis, including retuned steering and suspension, utilizing lighter weight components, retuned dampers and anti-roll bars. The Supersports’ quickness is further sharpened by the 40:60 rear-biased torque split for the all-wheel drive system, a wider rear track, bespoke lightweight 20-inch alloy wheels and a unique electronic stability program.

Ferrari’s Gran Turismo is inspired by Formula One technology, and it already benefits from over fifty years of Ferrari success. Enzo is named in honor of the companies’ founder, and it is one of a limited series of road cars including the 288GTO, F40 and F50. These cars are the proof that Ferrari follows its faith of producing the most exclusive and technologically advanced road car. Enzo’s goal was to bridge the gap that has ever been between everyday road cars and race cars. In order to achieve this goal, many improvements have been made in the production technology of the brand.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Enzo was built in Maranello, and tested around Fiorano by both Michael Schumacher and Dario Benuzzi. Inside the company, the project was known as the FX, and it has cost Ferrari 20 million euros to develop. The initial production number was set to 350 Enzos, but 400 were built in red, yellow or black, or a custom color if the customer’s relationship with the firm was strong enough. The extra fifty cars brought in $28.8 million USD (24.4 million euros) for Ferrari, with each car being sold at a $554 00 USD (487,700 EU) profit, Ferrari proving this way that they can not only sell half million dollar cars, but they can yield a considerable profit margin from them too.

Shelby SuperCars’ Ultimate Aero has received a number of refinements for the 2009 model year, after holding the “World’s Fastest Production Car” title for the year of 2008. The SSC engineering team equipped the 2009 Ultimate Aero with a 15% boost in horsepower, a revamped front fascia design, and a range of significant interior upgrades. A SSC-designed, 1-piece billet aluminum engine block is the most significant change for this model. SSC is able to boost the power output to 1287 horsepower while improving durability, thanks to the new block improves structural integrity and oiling capabilities.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Thanks to the more powerful new engine, the ‘09 Ultimate Aero will be able to reach world-record speeds of 270 MPH. SSC asked the American company Aeromotive to create a faultless system, in order to accommodate the ‘09 Ultimate Aero’s unique fuel system requirements. Carbon fiber louvers on the side intakes draw in an additional 20% of air into the radiators for improved cooling. The ‘09 Ultimate Aero also features the AeroBrakeTM, a rear spoiler system that deploys under braking circumstances. The rear spoilers are finished in carbon fiber, and actuate up an additional 8″ when the brake pedal is depressed. The speed of the spoiler actuation is set by the amount of brake pedal pressure. If you want to disable the entire AeroBrakeTM, you only have to push of a button, in cases such as town driving or situations where braking and downforce assistance are not necessary.

The new center console features a built-in digital temperature control unit and tire pressure monitor togheter with an Azentek PC base Infotainment unit. The ground-breaking Azentek unit provides all the abilities of a PC and processes SSC’s onboard diagnostic software.

The Pagani Zonda F is among the fastest supercars ever built. Zonda F was released in 2005, at Geneva Auto Show. Due to Pagani’s long-time experience in carbon fiber construction, the Zonda F is considered the leader concerning fit and finish. Pagani Automobili is an independent supercar manufacturer, one of few, which has the intention, and which made it possible with the production of this super sports car, to challenge more reputable competition such as Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Juan Manuel Fangio discussed with Horacio Pagani, and influenced him, on every aspect of the Zonda, until the outset of the Zonda project was finished. Thus, it is obvious that Pagani’s latest work pays tribute to the late Fangio, a world champion five times over. Zonda F is lighter, more powerful and faster than the Pagani cars built before. It borrows the modifications made to the C12-S Monza and refines them into a more attractive package.

Aerodynamics has an important role in the shape of Zonda’s new car. The new Zonda F features a one-piece fixed wing which now receives undisturbed air thanks to relocated mirrors. A larger front splitter and rear diffuser with twin stabilizing wings create even more downforce, helping airflow underneath. There is a much larger air intake at Zonda F’s front, which increases cooling effectiveness of the more potent V12 engine. A new induction system is used for giving Zonda F more power. This system replaces the standard Mercedes-Benz unit. It features larger intake apertures and, when combined with a larger, hydroformed exhaust, the 7.3 liter Mercedes-Benz engine reaches 620 bhp.

The chassis has also received some upgrades which lighten both the overall and unsprung weight of the Zonda. In combination with the titanium wheel nuts, and diverse trimmings of the carbon fiber tub, the Zonda F weighs 1230 kgs without liquids.

Canon - Powershot 10.0-megapixel Digital Camera

Adina — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 11:50:18 +0000

Canon is well-known for many electronics and for digital cameras also. There are many models of cameras from Canon and there is a wide variety to choose from. There are some 10mp cameras like Canon PowerShot SD790IS or the Canon PowerShot SXIS. These both have the same megapixels but the design is different and the editions also. The features are slightly different also but the basics are the same as there are some technologies Canon uses in all their digital cameras.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Let’s take Canon PowerShot SD790IS and see its specifications. The digital camera measures 3.6 x 2.2 x 0.8 inches and weights 5.4 ounces. The 10.0 megapixels it has captures highly details even for photos in poster-sizes. It has a 3x optical image-stabilized zoom. The detail and resolutions capture everything and you can enlarge the picture without any trouble as it will remain as clear as its original size. The Optical Image Stabilizer detects and gets rid of any camera shakes making sure your images remain non-blurry and non-fuzzy the whole way.

It’s best to always keep a camera around in case some special moments appear as there are no second chances afterwards. The Motion detection technology works to see how fast the object you want to picture is is moving and when it is selected it sets the best exposure so you get what you want. And when there is no motion the focus is made upon the color and the clarity. Now you will be able to capture your son on stage, or your friends dancing at the New Year’s party with confidence.

The LCD screen has 3” and it is wide enough to control the settings and view your photo albums. The screen is durable and having the Night Display it is easy to see both the pictures and setting in any kind of light. Furthermore, with the Face Detection Technology you will see better results and the concentration will be done on the faces in the picture, while the camera calculates the best balance of skin tones. Even if the person is moving around the camera is still focused on them. You can also see the design on this Canon digital camera, it has sculptured edges and the construction is solid for better handling. Coming back to the features, the DIGIC III images will look their best, as the top-efficiency is enhanced while the battery life is still saved-up. The Red-eye correction erases those red dots and you won’t have to edit pictures on the computer anymore. The ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto are settings meant to reduce the shake effects done by the digital cameras usually and even if the objects are in low-light situations, the shooter flexibility remains the same.

On the other side, Canon PowerShot SX10 IS 10 megapixels digital camera looks slightly different, more of a professional camera to be exact. It has a 20x zoom, 28mm wide angle has the same technologies as Face Detection and red-eye, the battery life is saved with the Canon DIGIC III. On the other side it weights more so maybe it’s not your everyday use camera.

Canon Powershot S5is 8 Megapixel Digital Camera

Adina — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 11:48:23 +0000

If you are looking for a digital camera that could capture all your moments and why not even open a new career in photography if you have the talents you can go for Canon PowerShot pro Series S5IS 8.0MP with 12x optical image stabilized zoom. This is more than a camera it has a mind of its own. Just from seeing it you can imagine it steps out of the headlines and it will give you the perfect pictures. It measures 3.1 x 4.6 x 3.2 inches and it weights 1.2 pounds.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
First of all it is ultra-powerful meaning you get the shots you like without mistakes. The S5IS has some of Canon’s latest technologies and some of them are the DIGIC III Image Processor, capturing all the details and clarity. It is both compact and portable and with its solid construction you will be able to grip it well, without risking dropping it. You won’t be able to let it off your hands and take it anywhere you go. The 8 megapixels will capture all details of the images and you will be able to enlarge the image or any sector of it and even crop it to meet your expectations. In addition, the 12x optical zoom makes this a real gadget for photographers, and thanks to the ultrasonic motor drive zooming is fast and silent. And because you can’t miss capturing special times, I think most of us often said “I wish I had my camera with me”, this Canon PowerShot S5IS is just what you need. Equipped with Optical Image Stabilizer Technology it automatically corrects any mistakes or camera shakes, the often reason of fuzzy and blurry pictures. So even if you are zooming the camera you will still be able to capture steady and brilliant images. This new technology is available with or without the flash.

Other specifications of the Canon PowerShot S5IS include the DIGIC III. This means that the battery life and the efficiency are enhanced when you use the superior quality when taking pictures. When you want to take a family portrait the Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction will come in handy so you won’t have to use additional software to edit pictures anymore. To use the technology you just have to press the Shutter Button halfway and the face is automatically detected. And for multiple faces there is the Face Detection AF/AE, it also adjusts the flash and illumination is controlled to get rid of the darkened problems you usually encounter with a normal camera. The red-eye correction detects and corrects the red-eye; you can also do this manually.

There is a special technology used by Canon in digital cameras and that is iSAPS. This one works together with DIGIC III Image processor and together they improve the accuracy and speed in taking multiple pictures at once. The camera has 2.5-inch LCD screen to see the images big while you take them or visualizing them afterwards. The screen shows crisp and clear pictures and selecting commands from the menu is convenient even in low light with the Night Display.

Other feature of the Canon PowerShot S5IS digital camera is the Print/Share button from which you can direct print your pictures.

Cool Guy Gifts

Adina — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 11:23:31 +0000

Guys are picky and picking out a gift for them could end up with a headache. Even if we see them simple in thinking and now wanting much but actually they analyze more even than women and when it comes to gifts things get tricky. But there are some gifts with which you won’t go wrong. The basics remain and they can always turn out to be life saviors. On the other hand there are gadgets, electronic gifts. These are the new hit and any men would go mad on receiving a cool gadget.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Well starting with clothing. A cool T-shirt or a pair of sunglasses won’t hurt. Then there are perfumes, here it does not matter you to like it but him. So if you don’t know the guy very well then maybe you should stay back from this kind of gifts. Drinks are very popular among males and a bottle of old scotch would do the job. Just watch him a bit when you go out and see what he drinks more often so you get a clear idea.

There is no point in giving something without any use. If you want there are many cool personalized gifts you can buy. For example there are lots of alarm clocks in different shapes that will amuse and what is more waking him every morning. Then again you can get some personalized skins for their laptop or iPhone as they come cheap and you can get their favorite car printed or quotation. The price is around $20 and the efforts will make the difference.

Don’t forget about the accessories, a watch or a bracelet will do just fine with his outfit while carrying an object from you will be more than a gift but more of a memory. An umbrella is also a cool gift especially if you are living in an unsteady climate area in which it rains a lot.
