What stoneage are you in using imperial units?, nah just kindding , or am I?

Nothing wrong using Imperial measurements
Even the USA measure's in Gallons( Smaller than a Imperial Gallon), Miles and a lid of weed is an ounce

LaFerrari Aperta

Officially unwrapped at the Paris Motor Show on Thursday morning, Ferrari has confirmed the roof-down stunner will use the Aperta name - the Italian for 'open'.

Just 209 will be built, though all models have already been promised to owners

Like the hard-top LaFerrari, the Aperta uses the same duo of a naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V12 engine and an electric motor that combine to create 950bhp.

Power for the LaFerrari comes from a 789bhp version of the F12’s 6.3-litre V12, working in tandem with a 161bhp electric motor to drive the rear axle. Ferrari claims the motor’s high torque output at low revs allowed it to tune the V12 to produce its best at high revs.

The result is huge power on tap, at any speed, in any gear. Peak power arrives at a heady 9,000rpm and maximum torque of more than 900Nm is delivered at 6,750rpm.

The performance figures of the Ferrari LaFerrari set a new standard for road cars. The 0-62mph sprint takes “less than three seconds”, 0-124mph takes “under seven seconds” and it can lap Ferrari’s Fiorano test track in Italy in under one minute 20 seconds

A 60kg lithium-ion battery pack attached under the floorpan helps give the car a 35mm lower centre of gravity than the Enzo. It’s charged under braking and whenever the V12 produces more torque than required.

The batteries supply power to the electric motor, which is hooked up to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. This hybrid system means that the LaFerrari emits just 330g/km of CO2 - an impressively low figure given the level of performance on offer.

Chinese electric car brand NextEV, which has launched a $1.2 million hypercar that's embarrassed the likes of Ferrari, Mercedes and Pagani with a new lap record around the Nürburgring circuit.

Called the EP9, it's the first model in the NIO brand under the NextEV banner. Just six will be built with a secret British partner and all of them will go to investors in the brand.

According to NextEV, the EP9 has lapped the infamous Nürburgring Nordschleife - a 14.17-mile circuit in the German hills used by carmakers as a test bed for their high performance models - in 7 minutes and 5 seconds, making it the fastest electric car to ever circulate the undulating track.

In fact, just four production models have bettered the time: two Radical trackday road cars, a Porsche 918 Spyder and a Lamborghini Aventador SV.

The only problem with the EP9 is that it had to run at 80 per cent capacity to complete such a high speed lap, and to recharge the batteries following that it would need a 45 minute charge.

The EP9s timed lap was 17 seconds quicker than the previous record posted by an electric-only vehicle - a Toyota EV P002 prototype race car.

It was also some way ahead of the best times set by the Audi R8 e-tron (8 minutes 9 seconds) in 2012 and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive (7 minutes 52 seconds) in 2013.

NextEV has even tested it at the French Paul Ricard circuit where it was only a couple of seconds shy of times set by LMP2 endurance racers.

And the stats are certainly race-car like. From a standing start, the EP9 can hit 62mph in 2.7 seconds. While that's better than most road-registered models, it's still a shade slower than a Tesla Model S P100D.

But the NIO certainly has Tesla licked on top speed, which is a claimed 194mph.

All of this power comes from a 777-volt powertrain that develops 1 Megawatt of thrust. That's the equivalent of 1,341bhp, which makes it more potent than the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder.

It uses two indirectly water-cooled lithium batteries hooked up to four electric motors powering each wheel. Think of it as a 4x4 with jet fighter pace.

I bet the Rimac Concept_One could beat them all:

Why? 4 x 2-speed motors, one on each wheel. More low end acceleration, more high end speed, regenerative braking, and staggered shifting.

In the video at about 9 minutes, he does 2.6 sec to 100 kph (62 mph). That's with cold tires on a dirty road.


Does the EP9 regenerative brake? If not, there's the problem.

Not as crazy as it sounds, a range of cars now have different settings for performance, sport, eco etc which have to be selected prior to starting the car, in other words it's like rebooting the ECU and changing settings.
This can not only alter shift timing, but also air/ fuel mixture and ignition timing to compensate.

Not for nothing but IMO the SSC Tuatara or Aero is more impressive to me given what it does with its powertrain.

Faraday Future is allegedly $21 million behind on construction payments.
http://www.ff.com/


Faraday, which is backed primarily by Chinese tech billionaire Jia Yueting, began developing the site in July after a high-profile groundbreaking in April with Nevada state officials. Construction work has been largely confined to large-scale grading of the 900-acre site. Work on the foundation and building isn’t expected to start for several months.

Faraday hopes to use the factory to build a range of fully electric vehicles for sale in the U.S. and China. Nevada lawmakers lured Faraday to the barren industrial site in North Las Vegas -- about 30 miles northeast of downtown Las Vegas

The 2040 Mercedes-Benz W196R Streamliner

"Only a few car manufacturers can boast the same reputation and quality like Mercedes. This German car manufacturer is one of the most recognizable worldwide. Even though Mercedes cars are not very common in the US, this car brand is very popular throughout Europe. They are known for making high quality cars, and today we take a quick look at one of their future concepts. This concept depicts the Mercedes Benz W196R streamliner, and we must admit that it looks ridiculous!

This new streamliner concept is based off of the original W196R, which was first manufactured way back in 1955."

Ford confirmed the figures for its new performance car in a long overdue announcement on Wednesday, claiming it'll be quicker than Ferrari's 458 Speciale and McLaren's 675LT.
http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-ne...for-new-gt-power-speed-info-details-and-pics/

The 'Ecoboost' twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6 motor will develop a potent 638bhp - that's more than a W12 Bentley Continental, V12 Rolls-Royce Wraith , or Lamborghini Murcielago.

And with that 216mph top speed it's even quicker than a Ferrari F12 and a Pagani Zonda F. However, it is a shade under the LaFerrari hypercar's claimed 217mph top speed.

Dave Pericak, global director at Ford Performance, said the GT won't just be a capable track tool but also a competent road car, despite the extreme power and a top speed that's three times the UK national speed limit.

'Our expectation has always been that the EcoBoost V6 would perform exceptionally well in the Ford GT – both in terms of power as well as aerodynamic efficiency,' he said.
