My favorite game, My favorite car- Porche Carrera GT

I initially recognized the Porsche CarreraGT from NFS. It is my favorite car in the racing game. The price is $444,000 dollars. It is well worth its price if we count the 5.7 litre V10 engine producing 612 DIN (605 SAE) horsepower (450KW) and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62.5 mph) in 3.9 seconds, touching a maximum speed of 330 km/h (205 mph). The design is stunning too. The following video is the CarreraGT in the racing game and it is shot by myself. I have uploaded it to Youtube.

Audi Innovation- Quattro

In 1980, the Audi Quattro which is appeared at the Geneva Motor Show caused a sensation in car industry, not because of its angular shape of the coupe, nor its amazing 200-horsepower engine. The real secret exists in the aspect that the car’s driving model - four-wheel drive. At that time, four-wheel-drive technology is limited to off-road vehicles; the emergence of Audi quattro opened a new chapter in the history of civil-wheel-drive cars.
In the 30-year history, the Audi quattro all-wheel-drive system has undergone six times innovation, each time of evolution set new standards for all-wheel-drive technology.
1980, first generation－hollow shaft











1986, second generation－Torque-sensing differential-A















1988, the third generation－first time applied to automatic models
















1994, the fourth generation－torque-sensing center differential-B; first time to use EDL (Electronic Differential Lock)

1997, the fifth generation－optimized Torque-sensing differential-A

2005, the sixth generation－Torque-sensing differential-C; the birth of the Audi Q series

Ferrari Factory

The name of Ferrari seems to always link with the movement and speed, the hot-blooded red color and the symbol of unruly horse has become a king of totem in the minds of many people. The factory of Ferrari is located just outside the small town of Maranello south and a bit west from Modena.

The gate of Ferrari factory seems disproportionate with brand; gray cement building is incredibly simple. Imaginary Ferrari red and Horse signs are not found. But here is the original office of Mr. Enzo Ferrari who was the founder. Enzo Ferrari was born on February 18, 1898 near Modena, Italy. The factory of Ferrari in Maranello is composed of headquarters, R & D institutions, workshops and test track. In order to avoid be too excited, gray color has replaced the red color; it becomes the main colors of factory buildings.

It is a garden factory, even in the workshop it can be seen green everywhere. Strolling in the workshop, it totally doesn’t see a general picture of the factory－busy, stress and busy do not exist in worker's face. This is hardly surprising, Ferrari is different from the general depot, its production is small and mainly uses hand-assembly methods, and communication replaces the mechanical work to become an important content of the daily work. The factiry in Maranello is fact just assembly plants, car body stamping, welding and of many accessories are manufactured in other places. Therefore, it can not hear a deafening noise, and smell the pungent odor.

In 2002 Ferrari factory was elected by ILO as the most suitable place to work, there is a motto: workers here are willing to take to the streets dressed in working clothes after work.

Lamborghini Reventon

The Lamborghini Reventon was inspired by fighter jets inside and out, from its hi-tech in-dash display to the greenish, militaristic Grey Barra paint. The Reventon is even the only Lamborghini with a G-force meter -- a necessary gauge in a car with a 0 to 62 mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph. The car's sharp, aerodynamic angles were designed entirely in-house at Lamborghini HQ in Sant'Agata, Bolognese, Italy. And, like Lambos that have come before, the Reventon is named for a famous Spanish fighting bull.
The Lamborghini Reventon's V12 engine is the same one found in the Mucielago LP640, but it's been tweaked to deliver an additional 10 hp, for a total of 650 hp. The 487 lb-ft of torque delivers nearly instant forward thrust to the e-gear transmission, which Lamborghini claims shifts faster than even the most expert driver. Permanent all-wheel drive delivers powers to all the tires for maximum efficiency in transferring energy from the gas pedal to the pavement. Even the rims are functional: the turbine design works to cool the ceramic disk brakes.
The Reventon is immediately identifiable as a Lamborghini, with its low-slung stature, wide wheelbase, and sharply creased angles. But the designers as the Centro Stile took every angle a bit further by taking cues from modern fighter jets. The pronounced air intakes at the nose of the car don't work exactly like those found on jets, but they do allow for increased airflow to the uprated 12-cylinder engine. Like the Murcielago, the body is a carbon fiber composite, and the rear mid-mounted engine can be seen through a clear glass cover.

Muscle car

Muscle car is a term used to refer to a variety of high performance automobiles. Most people think that muscle cars strive for large discharge and large horsepower, regardless of fuel consumption, and built-in configuration of the American style is called "Muscle Car"! Modern muscle car began to have some change in the shape, but there are still a sense of the former kind of muscle.

The only mean to enhance the speed is using the great horsepower to drive vehicle. This naturally obtains difficult acceleration. It can be said that the car fill with a sense of strength. On the other hand, it has caused disadvantages such as relatively difficult to manipulate. In today's view of the automotive technology, tough line shape is not conducive to high speed, so the top speed is also compromised. But there is no denying that as a historic vehicle, muscle car has its unique charm.

Toyota recalls thousand s of prius cars worlwide

Toyota has announced the recall of about 436,000 hybrid vehicles worldwide, including its latest Prius model, to fix brake problems. And the factories in North American be closed down to stop sale.
Analysts believe that the Toyota's "recall” incident do not only influence the Toyota's corporate image and annual results, but also shake the consumer confidence in the world automobile industry. In 2008, Toyota exceeded the U.S. General Motors Corp., and the world's largest car manufacturer. The recall which is due to the potential safety problem will seriously damage the Toyota’s long-term label “safe and reliable”. Recently Toyota shares fell 20%, “recall” results the huge direct economic losses.
