Nissan Drift Cars


When you think of drifting this car definitely comes to mind. This is probably best choice of Nissan drift cars to learn drifting. The Silvia RPS13 is called the 180SX in Japan, the 200SX in Europe and the 240SX in the USA.

Earlier Japanese models and all European models were fitted with a CA18DET (175hp). The Japanese 180SX received a update in ’91 when it got a 2.0 liter SR20DET engine (205hp) and some more minor modification.


In 1993 the Silvia moved forward with the release of the S14 model. But while Europe and the US were happy to replace the current S13 model by the new S14 model, in Japan the 180SX continued its life as a sports coupé.

The 180SX received the last model update in 1996 and production stopped in 1998. US models are all fitted with the KA24DE engine (150hp) and were non-turbo. They have a displacement of 2.4 liter to make up for the power difference.

Pagani Huayra

Ancient legends of the Aymara tell us of Huayra Tata, god of wind, who commands the breezes, winds, and blizzards that invade the mountains, cliffs and hills of the Andean highlands. It is told that Huayra Tata resides deep in the high peaks and valleys, abandoning them only to demonstrate his power to his wife, Pachamama, goddess of mother earth. With his power Huayra Tata was able to lift the waters from lake Titicaca and rain them down on the fertile Pachamama. When Huayra Tata sleeps, the waters and rivers lay quiet. But the calm before the storm is about to be interrupted...

Lamborghini Ankonian Concept


The Lamborghini Ankonian concept car is based on a design by Slavche Tanevski, a member of the Lamborghini Raw Materials Project. The Ankonian is named after a famous black haired bull, continuing the Lamborghini tradition of bovine recognition.

In a deviation from the usual styling cues found in supercars, the Ankonian is a bit downsized, with a cab backward design reminiscent of grand touring vehicles. The supercar vibe of the design was created via a combination of soft and angular lines. Taking cues from the Reventon, the aim of the design is to be aggressive and elegant at the same time. In an aim to be more environmentally responsible, the design is scaled down to be more compact.

Lamborghini


Talk about extreme performance glossed with flamboyance, and one word surely pops in everyone’s mind: Lamborghini.

Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., or Lamborghini for short, is an automotive manufacturer based in Sant'Agata Bolognese, a small commune in central Italy. It was founded by the manufacturing magnate Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1963, and has changed ownership many times since then. After a series of disappointments, Lamborghini finally produced the Espada, the first truly popular model from the company which sold 1200 copies for ten years.

Today, Lamborghini cars always make perfect rivals for any race track finish line. The Lamborghini Murciélago LP640, with its gloss primer grey paint, upgraded V12 engine, and optional transparent engine cover, garnered oohs and aahs when it made its debut in the 2006 Geneva Motor Show. Running a speed of 211 mph and counting a total bhp of 613.

Technical details of the new ‘i’ cars from BMW


The i3 will tip the scales at 2,755 pounds, while the i8 will come in under 3,300 pounds. While that might sound slightly chunky, consider that the average gasoline-powered car converted to EV duty normally tacks on around 500 pounds courtesy of the battery, motor and cooling system. When looked at in this way, both models could be considered rather svelte.

The carbon fiber “Life” structure that envelops the i3′s passengers is so strong (yet very light) that BMW’s engineers didn’t have to include a B-pillar for structural rigidity. That means ingress and egress should be easy, aided by the fact that both models utilize ultra-thin carbon fiber and plastic bits for the interior elements.
