Murcielago top4

In a continuation of Lamborghini's tradition of giving its cars names from the world of bullfighting, the Murciélago was named for a fighting bull that survived 28 sword strokes in an 1879 fight against Rafael "El Lagartijo" Molina Sanchez, at the Coso de los califas bullring in Córdoba, Spain. Murciélago fought with such passion and spirit that the matador chose to spare its life, a rare honor. The bull, which came from Joaquin del Val di Navarra's farm, was later presented as a gift to Don Antonio Miura, a noted local breeder; thus began the famed Miura line of fighting bulls, which provided the name for one of Lamborghini's first great cars.Murciélago is the Spanish name for the bat. The word is pronounced [murθiˈelaɣo], with a voiceless dental fricative [θ] (as in English thing), in the Castilian Spanish spoken in most of Spain. However, the Italian automaker often uses the Southern Spain and Latin American Spanish pronunciation, [murˈsjelaɣo], with an [s] sound.The Murciélago is a four-wheel drive, mid-engined sports car. Its coupé body is especially low-slung, with its roof rising to just under four feet above the ground. The supercar features scissor doors, which contribute to its exotic image. First-generation Murciélagos, produced between 2001 and 2006, were powered by a 6.2-litre V12 which traces its roots back to the company's beginnings in the 1960s. The rear differential is integrated into the engine unit, and the four-wheel drive features a central viscous coupler. Power was sent to the wheels through a six-speed manual. The Murciélago possesses an independent double-wishbone suspension design, and features a combination of carbon-fiber and steel bodywork. The rear spoiler and the air scoops integrated into the car's shoulders are electromechanically activated, and fold out from the body at high speeds to aid aerodynamic performance and provide additional engine cooling, respectively.
Lamborghini Murciélago 40th Anniversary EditionThe V12 engine in these cars produced just under 580 PS, or pferdestärke (German: horse strength), a unit of power commonly used in Europe. The engine was capable of powering the car to a speed of 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.8 seconds. first-generation cars, equipped with the 6.2-litre V12, were produced between 2001 and 2006, and are known simply as Murciélago. Although subsequent versions of the Murciélago were designated with their engine output in PS, the original cars were not designated "LP 580" in line with the later convention.The Murciélago Roadster was introduced in 2004 as a 2005 model. A sign on the windshield header advises the driver not to exceed 100 mph (160 the cloth top in place Designer Donckerwolke cited the B-2 stealth bomber, the Wally 118 WallyPower yacht, and architect Santiago Calatrava's Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències in Valencia, Spain as his inspiration for the roadster's revised rear pillars and engine cover.

Honda Civic Hybrid 2011 pics

Last year, Fall Out Boy participated in the Honda Civic Tour and created a special dark version one-off Civic hybrid. The Tour is back for the 8th year with Panic! At The Disco as the featured band. As you can see, Panic's car is a bit more colorful than last year's. The exterior features colorful nature images on the sides and a Panic! At The Disco logo emblazoned on the hood. It's also been signed by the band (click the photo above to see a high-res version of the photo). As with all the cars in the annual tour, this Civic hybrid will be given away at the end of the tour, which runs from April 10th to June 14th. Specific dates will be announced soon. Apparently, there will be eco-booths run by nonprofits Reverb and Global Inheritance at each performance.
One thing I liked about the Fall Out Boy-Honda partnership last year was that a lot of very serious Fall Out Boy fans came to AutoblogGreen trying to get tickets. If Panic! At The Disco has a similarly passionate fanbase, we look forward to their presence on these pages.UPDATE: added ! to the band nameUPDATE: added ! to the band name.

Audi A3 2009 Tuning Specs best

The new Polo is an impressive vehicle: Its processing and technology set standards in the small car class – and that is the reason why the worldwide largest tuner of vehicles from the Volkswagen group turned his attention to the Polo. The result is a little sports car in a form which makes a man’s heart beat faster. And which women will also love. From the outside thesmall car from Bavaria exudes character, the rear spoiler and rear apron...
Some affectionately call it the “racing tractor”, as it combines sporty dynamism with enormous torque of 390 Nm. Rudolf Diesel would have had fun with the 190 HP (140 kW) strong “off-spring” of his invention. He would certainly never have thought it possible that the diesel engine could reach 100 km/h in a 7.1 second sprint. A top speed of 230 km/h and plenty of steam in all seven gears – that is how ABT Sportsline defines..think it’s ridiculous that North Americans still haven’t warmed up well at all to the idea of hatchbacks, no less a premium hatchback. This has to be a reason for the need of small sedans like the Fiesta and now the A3, although they aren’t in the same class obviously… why? I think hatches are fantastic.So, basically, Audi will create A3, which will be the same size as A4 a few years back, because A4 grew to the size of A6, which is now the size of A8 that enlarged to the size of a stretch limo…Why don’t we just stop growing vehicles beyond their respective classes?
For power ABT extracted even more juice out of the standard units in order to match looks with performance. So the baseline 1.4 TSI which normally comes in at 92kW (125hp) has been increased to 118kW (160hp). Audi produces a standard 118kW (160hp) 1.4 TSI as well but that is puffed up to either 125kW (170hp) or 140kW (190hp) depending on where in the power band it starts in its normal life. ABT says fuel consumption and engine reliability have not been affected by these power increases.
