As one of the most sophisticated car producer, the Mercedes will never stop to determine and to examine their ability in order to keep on producing some excellent products that will give the consumers some kinds of certain satisfactions with the ultimate Mercedes product. Lately, the engineers of the Mercedes have decided to build the Mercedes AMG Cigarette Racing Boat. This is not a car but it’s a boat.

The Mercedes AMG and the Cigarette (a boat maker company) have decided to work together on a project to create a super boat. This boat uses the double Mercury Racing engines that each of them could produce 1,350 HP so the total power is 2,700 HP. According to the builder, this boat may reach 113 knot (or at least 130 miles per hours) so fast. This is definitely the perfect boat for some water activities lovers.

The boat is painted with the silver SLS Mercedes AMG. In the interior, they have decided to use the Napa leather for the dashboard.

Choose Your Hybrid Car

The competition between car factories to produce green car is very tight. Every car factory uses all their resources to win the competition and reach the largest total sale. In the year 2010, there are many factories launch their green cars. Each of the produce a car that is green for the environment and affordable for people to buy.

These recent years, hybrid technology is the technology that are most applied by every car factory to make a green car. This technology combines electric power and gasoline to supple the machine’s energy. All car factories race to make a better combination and result through a long research. Ford as example, they make Ford Fusion as their hybrid car in 2010. This car has some improvements in the drivetrain technology, EcoGauge panel, and the car style. With 275 volts Nickel-Metal Hyride battery and 17.5 galons of fuel, Ford Fusion can run more than 700 miles. Ford sells this car for $27,270 and $725 for delivery charge.

Honda, in the other hand, produces Honda Insight as the new green car in 2010. Honda insight improve the hybrid machine that make it has 98 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque from the gasoline plus 10 hp and 58 lb-ft of torque from the electric power. Offering a comfortable cabin and efficient machines, Honda sells the car for $20,470. These two cars are only the example of green and affordable cars that are supposed to be launch in 2010. There are many other cars that can even better.

Green Cars in 2010

The pollution happens these recent years have increased the global warming. One of the factors that support the global warming is pollution by cars. To solve this problem, many scientists and car factories from different countries race to make green cars for everyone. They try to make green cars that can minimize the emission or even produce zero emission. After the long time research, there are some factories that ready to launch their hybrid car in 2010.

Toyota is one of the biggest car factories in Japan. In the 2008 they started their research to make a more perfect green car, and now in 2010 the will launch their new Toyota hybrid car. This year, Toyota will launch new Prius. Toyota claims that with the help of the full charged battery, Toyota Prius can run 100 miles for every gallon it consumes. This is a record that not every green car able to break. Having the same project as Toyota, Chevrolet from USA also makes a new green car to be launch in 2010. Chevy Volts is the latest Chevrolet hybrid car to compete with other cars in its class. Chevrolet claims that Chevy Volts can run 300 miles without any gasoline. The energy is gotten from 16 kWh lithium batteries and the car only need gasoline to start the generator and works only after the batteries are exhausted.

Another USA car factory, GM, also launch their new green car in 2010. GM named Saturn VUE as the new GM hybrid car. Carrying a big V6 machine, Saturn VUE can run with the battery power in low and medium speed. After reaching the high speed, Saturn VUE will combine the electric power and gasoline to supply the machine energy. These are only some green cars that expected to be launch in 2010. There are more green cars from other factories that can have a better solution for the environmental problems.

Car That Has Two Engines

Almost every day we drive our car back and forth to our workplace or other places. We only drive the car without thinking how complicated the technology a car has. We can find the simplest mechanical technology like used in the door lock up to the latest complicated technology can be found in a car like hybrid engine or active headrest.

Without those technologies riding a car will not be as fun and as easy as we drive our car today. From so many technologies that we can find in a car, one newest technology applied in cars is hybrid car. Hybrid car is a car which has two engines, the first type is the conventional engine which consumes diesel gas or gasoline and the second type of the electric motor powered by the batteries.

As we know that the environmental damages caused by the carbon monoxide gas are so severe, so that many car producers make environmental friendly car like hybrid car because by having electric motor as the power source means that no carbon monoxide gas is produced. The conventional engine had by hybrid car usually also has smaller capacity because they are not used full time, so the carbon monoxide produces is even fewer.

Ducati Desmosedici GP10 – MotoGP bike

While most return to a full liter of displacement for the MotoGP motorcycle racing will not take effect until 2012 racing season, there are still significant advances of which were with the current 800cc power plant. Evidence of such can be seen in the new Ducati Desmosedici GP10 driver who has just been presented at an exclusive event in the Italian Dolomites.

The biggest change for the bike the appearance of a new tail installed exhaust place that does a lot to clean side view of the bike and looks absolutely amazing in execution. It’s under the skin of carbon fiber, though, where the most important changes are occurring, starting with the revised significantly cooling system to allow each engine for longer – nod to the new regulations stipulating that each team can use only six engines to the rider for the entire season.

In addition to the expected updates to the pistons, rods and crankshaft, the main news is that the Ducati turned to the so-called Big Bang Ignition Engine V4, which the manufacturer says will make a powerful bike easier to ride with improved grip and traction. In addition, in the back half of the bike was hard to keep the car from squatting under hard acceleration.
