Party Offroad
sometimes if we want to go adventure we need a lot of equipment, usually we use offroad car for go to adventure. But how if our car not enough for take a party equipment. we need idea for this problem. first, we need recharger battery for party lamp and music, but how to recharging battery..we can use dynamo or accu for charging when we drive in road, so we must have a lot of battery. second, use mirror panel in flashlamp and use it in few littlelamp in roof for create playlight, so when night,we can use light for playing in the dark.
enjoy it when we adventure in canyon or mountain,we can party every night....

Skyline GT-R (R35)
The new GT-R (R35)was never officially named Skyline but is known as the successor to the Skyline GT-R. It was released in Japan on 24 October 2007 at the Tokyo Motor Show. It is expected to be released internationally during 2008 as a 2009 model. It was revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show, following the leak of the December issue of MotorTrend magazine that covered the future release of the model. Bearing a high resemblance to the Nissan GT-R Proto, the new GT-R keeps a shape that still bears the traits of its predecessors, but loses the "Skyline" moniker officially. The new GT-R is equipped with the new VR38DETT V6 twin turbo engine, breaking a 35 year old tradition of putting inline-sixes in GT-R models. The new GT-R still keeps certain technologies that made it famous, like an updated version of the ATTESA-ETS. The new R35 will be the first GT-R to be in production for the United States. The new GT-R has also had a big success in Japanese racing series, then as the racing model the GT-R GT500.

climbing car
in fact we can ride car in the way. But can we imagine if we have a car can drive vertically, like climbing or crawling in the building. maybe you think that is imposible, cause the problem is gravity, the car can fall and that is dangerous. but don't give up, I have idea but still need something...or maybe I must tell spiderman for help me. so please wait until next time....
Cooking in Car
in future we can do anything with our car, like computer or handphone multifunction. But can we know what happens to our car if we want more function in there. I think if we don't care, the car can be broken. so we must be carefully. I have idea if we like cooking. we can use the steam from hot inside car for cooking. Actually that is stinky and hot is not enough for cooking, but we can modified the engine like oven. so the hot can be spread in oven, and we can eat our meals everywhere we go.

cars on water
but can it reality....
I have idea about that,
1. inside of car have 4 sensor active when full of water on 3 seconds.
2. when sensor active, machine locked and boat system active
3. rim and wheel modified
and then go to water ways,but car must lightweight,water must can't inside machine,etc
is that good idea........

2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Road Test Review
This could be the world's most practical supercar. (Photo: Justin Couture, American Auto Press)
there are the legends. These are the cars that don't just invoke desire or memories, they invoke a sense of passion and honor. Not many make it to this level, but for the few that do, it is the zenith. I've seen people debate this until blue in the face about Skyline GT-Rs, Corvette Z06s, Shelby Cobras and numerous Ferraris too, but the moment that the 911 Turbo's name is dropped, everyone goes quiet, nodding in approval.
Approaching the Turbo for the first time, I am humbled. This is a car that has a reputation of putting Porsche on the same plane as Ferrari and Lamborghini, so to consider driving such a legend with anything less than respect would be ludicrous. Especially the latest generation version which packs a powerful 480 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque punch.
Slot the key in the dash to the left of the steering column, depress the clutch and twist. The noise that a 911 Turbo makes when it fires up is instantly recognizable. It's a hoarse, rasp - in reality, a thrashy kind of noise. It may not be the melodic rumble of a V8 or the jet-like whine of a silken straight-six, but it's one that people associate directly with Porsche.

Hearing the flat six start up reminds me of the first time I rode in a Porsche. Shotgun, in an ‘80s 930 Turbo as a child, besides having the sound of the “boxer” engine permanently engrained in my memory, the thing I remember most about it was the acceleration. It wasn't so much watching the speedometer shoot up, but the sudden onset of the turbos that pushed me into the seat so hard, emptying my lungs of air. Early 911 Turbos gained a reputation for being hairy to drive; the combination of such a heavy rear bias in the weight distribution combined with the immediate burst of extraordinary power meant that if attention wasn't heeded, especially mid-corner, things could go pear-shaped.
Before heading out, I reminded myself of what it was like to ride as a passenger, and a few facts of what the newest Turbo is capable of. A full-out launch means 60 mph is served up in 3.7 seconds, which is faster than either a Lamborghini Gallardo or one of Porsche's greatest roadcars, the 959. 200 km/h (124 mph) from naught takes just 12.8 seconds, which officially qualifies it as being scarily quick. And though the honor of the fastest production 911 goes to the GT2, which cracked the 200 mph barrier, the regular 911 Turbo comes mighty close, running out of steam at 193 mph.

Turbo technology has come a long way since the days of the first 911 Turbo. Like many other brands, Porsche learned that bolting a cantaloupe-sized turbocharger onto a small engine to create giant horsepower and torque figures wasn't the best way of going about things. Technically, today's 911 Turbo could be called “Turbos” because it's got two of them. And I'm a little surprised that they didn't have the urge to script “VGT” on its behind, considering that this is the first gasoline-powered vehicle to feature a variable geometry turbocharger, designed specifically to reduce lag and improve tractability. Though VGTs have been used in diesel-powered cars for years, these devices haven't made the transition to gasoline-powered cars due to much higher exhaust temperatures.
Because of these advancements, the evil known as turbo lag has become extinct on the Turbo. The 3.6-liter engine feels strong, pulling cleanly from idle, but that's nothing compared to what happens when the tachometer's needle swings over the 3,000 rpm marker. Like a burst dam, power crashes through, and the 911 pushes forward as if it had a pair of afterburners strapped to its backside. For brief
Red seatbelts? Contrast painted rear console? Whatever it is you want, Porsche can do it. (Photo: Justin Couture, American Auto Press) |
And though I didn't get the chance to explore the Turbo's abilities on a track, it doesn't take long to discover that it's an extremely talented vehicle, even on the road. With little weight over its nose and such direct steering, the 911 Turbo feels confident no matter the conditions or road surface. Higher speeds won't make handling twitchy thanks to revised aerodynamics that include a wider, bi-plane rear spoiler. However, the item that most contributes to the Turbo's sense of security is its all wheel drive system. Using an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch system, power can be actively sent to either the front or rear axles to control oversteer and understeer. By comparison, the previous “996” generation Turbo sent power to the front axle only if wheelspin was detected. Combined with the constant honing of the suspension tuning, stability control and its extra-wide performance tires, the 911 Turbo feels confident on the road. It can be driven without worry of snapping or biting, even in slippery conditions. You often hear journalists speak of
With the optional ceramic brakes, the 911 Turbo is one of the fastest decelerating cars on the planet. With the Tiptronic S, it's one of the fastest accelerating cars too. (Photo: Justin Couture, American Auto Press) |
There is no question that performance is one of the Turbo's strongest cards, but it's more than just a single-purpose machine. It is one of the friendliest near 200-mph sports cars ever made. It isn't a particularly quiet vehicle, as there's lots of road and engine noise, but it feels comfortable at speed. And though the ride can't quite compete with an S-Class, Porsche's PASM adaptive damping manages to find an incredible amount of cushion from such firm springs and low sidewalls. Pressing the button which turns on “Sport” mode, instantly shows how much difference its electronics make. On the softer setting you could easily travel long distances in comfort, and the seats, well, they're both supportive and comfortable.
Activating the Sport mode taps into the Turbo's “performance” reserves. Besides stiffening the suspension, it sharpens the throttle and informs the all wheel drive system's electronic brain to send more torque to the rear wheels. The stability control is also dialed back, allowing for a greater degree of wheel slip. On a Turbo equipped with Tiptronic S (the optional six-speed automatic), the gearshift jumps to its sport program for quicker up-shifts.
Not surprisingly, the 911 Turbo is a very hospitable place to spend time. It's more
All-weather capabilities, supercar performance and refinement too. What more can you ask for? (Photo: Justin Couture, American Auto Press) |
Off the highway and into the city's core, the 911 Turbo remains easy to drive. Its small size allows it to nimbly slot into and out of busy traffic, and its thin front pillars offer good outward visibility. It isn't even particularly difficult to park, especially when equipped with rear parking sensors.
Porsche's 911 range has been described as having the right car to suit just about everyone's mood. The Turbo is an amazing automobile. It delivers supercar-challenging performance, can be used all year round, and is remarkably easy to access. Though it may not be as sharply honed as the GT3 or as brutally fast as the GT2, the Turbo is impressive in the way that it doesn't sacrifice comfort or refinement for performance. It is perhaps the most pragmatic 911 ever built. Fast, enjoyable, and yet comfortable enough for every day use. Is this the ultimate sports car?
Steam car
Steam power, usually using an oil- or gas-heated boiler, was also in use until the 1930s but had the major disadvantage of being unable to power the car until boiler pressure was available (although the newer models could achieve this in well under a minute). It has the advantage of being able to produce very low emissions as the combustion process can be carefully controlled. Its disadvantages include poor heat efficiency and extensive requirements for electric auxiliaries.[21]

Bioalcohols and biogasoline fuel car
- Main article: Ethanol fuel
Ethanol, other alcohol fuels (biobutanol) and biogasoline have widespread use an automotive fuel. Most alcohols have less energy per liter than gasoline and are usually blended with gasoline. Alcohols are used for a variety of reasons - to increase octane, to improve emissions, and as an alternative to petroleum based fuel, since they can be made from agricultural crops. Brazil's ethanol program provides about 20% of the nation's automotive fuel needs, as a result of the mandatory use of E25 blend of gasoline throughout the country, 3 million cars that operate on pure ethanol, and 6 million dual or flexible-fuel vehicles sold since 2003.[15] that run on any mix of ethanol and gasoline. The commercial success of "flex" vehicles, as they are popularly known, have allowed sugarcane based ethanol fuel to achieve a 50% market share of the gasoline market by April 2008.[16][17][18]
