Ducati monster black bike

With all the attention big, shiny, mondo power street bikes get these days, it can be pretty easy to overlook small displacement motorcycles. I mean, doesn’t every rider need 170 horsepower at the twist of their wrist? We all need to accelerate from a standstill to 100 mph in eight seconds, right? Who wouldn’t want to lay thick, 100-foot long strips of rubber on pavement?

While there will always be a small percentage of the moto population looking to carry out such hijinx, the fact is, the majority of riders who wish to keep their driving privileges need something a bit more practical. These days, though, a huge spectrum of motorbikes fit the bill, so let’s narrow it down.

Getting Online Vintage Car Insurance

by: Adam Rise
<!---- End Ad Box --->
Although some people are involved in the restoration of vintage cars as a means of business, the greater driving force behind many of those involved in this industry is their great passion. Their primary source of joy is to see a vintage car come back to life.

Many people strive to own a vintage car as a sign of some unique kind of prestige, particularly when you consider how involving it is to maintain such a vehicle. However, owning such a car is not just a matter of having the necessary funds. You need to be passionate about vintage cars in the first place.

The restoration of a vintage car requires a great deal of patience. It requires delicate skill and a lot of determination. Although restored cars are usually displayed at car shows, some owners will drive them occasionally. However, some people will just keep them carefully in wait for the appropriate shows. This should not take you with surprise as we have already said that restoring such cars is quite an involving undertaking. It requires a lot of money and time in order to be done successfully. Risking its destruction or theft is hence quite a high price to pay. Which is why it is important for you to take an insurance when you have such a prized possession.

Vintage car insurance is not the same as that of the ordinary cars. Contrary to what you may think, it is actually cheaper to take a insurance than the normal one. This is due to the limited mileage covered in addition to such considerations as parking garages. Another factor that determines the price of vintage car insurance is the type of car itself. If it is a rare model that is costly, the price of the insurance too will be higher.

There are some things you should bear in mind before you take your the insurance. For instance, you need to determine whether the provider guarantees your car's valuation first. Otherwise you may discover that your claim will not be accepted when the time comes. Of course you will foot additional bills for such a valuation, but it is still a worthwhile undertaking.

You will not find difficulties in getting a suitable vintage car insurance, as they are readily listed in vintage car magazines or yellow pages. You can then get in touch with the relevant providers either by visiting their offices or placing a call.

However, these two options have their respective drawbacks. You may need to make several phone calls and then comparing the quotes will be difficult. And speaking to an agent may make you make a commitment before you do enough research. So, you can instead do your search online more conveniently and quickly.

Audi Urban Spyder Concept

Audi is once again opening up new horizons: the Audi urban concept is a 1+1-seat, ultra-light car for congested urban spaces. The technical study being presented at the 2011 International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt does not fit under any of the conventional categories - the Audi urban concept combines elements of a racing car, a fun car and an urban car into one radical new concept. In addition to a Sportback model, Audi is also presenting a Spyder variant.

The Audi urban concept is not based on any previous model - its development is solely oriented on the strict principles of lightweight construction, efficiency and reduction. The result is a concept car with no unnecessary weight, and one that concentrates on the pure essence of sporty motion.
The Audi urban concept has a sleek body. The wheels are free-standing, their surrounding protective plates feature blinking strips of LED lights. The highly concentrated look of the technical study, with its forward-urging lines, is dynamic and emotional - it lends Audi's design language a completely new impetus.
On board there is room for two people, their position slightly staggered and at a sporty, low level. All controls and materials are subject to the dictates of ultra-lightweight construction in order to ensure that the sensory experience they convey is unique and compelling. The driver can adjust the steering wheel and pedals to his own body measurements. Characteristic features of the Spyder include its low, continuous window area and its doors that open diagonally to the top.
The technology in the Audi urban concept reflects the full capabilities of the brand, especially when it comes to ultra-lightweight construction. The cockpit consists of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, which integrates the undercarriage of both seats. The Audi urban concept rolls on wheels with a 21-inch diameter.
Two e-tron electric motors provide the propulsion - providing the ultra-light Audi urban concept with the ability to accelerate powerfully. A lithium-ion battery supplies the energy - ideal for extended city tours.

Toyota Camry Daytona 500 Pace Car

Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (TMS) and Daytona International Speedway (DIS) announced the all-new 2012 Toyota Camry will serve as the official pace car for next year's DAYTONA 500®.
Toyota will showcase the new Camry -- the best-selling car in America for nine years running -- at Daytona in 'The Great American Race,' Feb. 26, 2012. The race annually kicks-off the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
"We're thrilled to be able to feature the new Camry in Daytona at the season's biggest race," said Ed Laukes, TMS corporate manager of motorsports marketing. "We think the DAYTONA 500 is the perfect place to showcase the all-new Toyota Camry -- which will go on sale this fall. We knew when the opportunity arose to partner together with Daytona that it would be an extraordinary way to highlight our new Camry, as well as reinforce Toyota's commitment to NASCAR and its fans."

Toyota Camry went on sale in 1983 and since then more than nine million have been sold in the U.S. Camry has been the best selling car in America for 13 of the past 14 years.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Camry production in Georgetown, Ky. Toyota began manufacturing the Camry in Georgetown in 1986 and the vehicle is now also built in Lafayette, Ind.
The 2012 Camry debuts a bold, sophisticated new design with a more spacious interior, improved driving dynamics and an even quieter ride than before. The new model features class leading safety, fuel economy and multi-media technology.

"NASCAR and Daytona International Speedway provide a uniquely American platform for manufacturers to display their technology, innovation and overall automotive excellence," said Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III. "After nearly eight years of competing at NASCAR's highest level, I'm pleased to have the 2012 Toyota Camry pace the DAYTONA 500."
Toyota has previously provided pace vehicles at several NASCAR tracks, including Auto Club Speedway of Southern CaliforniaSM, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway®, Dover (Del.) International Speedway, California's Infineon Raceway, Kansas Speedway®, Martinsville (Va.) Speedway®, Nashville Superspeedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Phoenix International Raceway®, Richmond (Va.) International Raceway®, Wisconsin's Road America and Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International®.
In 2004, Toyota began participating in NASCAR competition by fielding Tundras in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS). Three years later in 2007, Toyota began competing in the NSCS and the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) with the Camry.
Toyota has won three consecutive manufacturer's titles in the NNS (2008-2010) with the Camry, and Toyota racers have earned one driver's title (Kyle Busch in 2009) and registered 60 race victories in the NNS. In NSCS competition, Camry drivers have earned 36 first-place trophies.
In seven seasons participating in the NCWTS, Toyota has captured five consecutive manufacturer's championships (2006-2010), and Tundra drivers have won driver's titles with Todd Bodine (2006 and 2010) and Johnny Benson (2008), and have earned 88 race wins.
At Daytona International Speedway, Toyota drivers have recorded eight NASCAR wins across NASCAR's three national touring series, including one NSCS win (Kyle Busch in 2008), two NNS wins (Denny Hamlin in 2008 and Tony Stewart in 2008) and five NCWTS wins. In 2008, Hamlin claimed Toyota's first-ever NSCS victory in a non-points qualifying event to determine the Daytona 500 starting lineup.

Automotive Body Kit Parts for Your Car or Truck

by: John Wilson

Automotive Body Kit Parts for Your Car or Truck

The main points or positions of a car that allows for body kit products are the front and back bumpers, side skirts, hood and the wing or spoiler. If you are installing a full body kit but you are choosing different parts from different kits then you need to consider parts that have a similar style or look so that the parts flow together on the vehicle. A full body kit make over could deal with each component individually and make adjustments for a similar look. If the goal is to build a car that has similar features to a particular race car or street car, then it is possible integrate different parts.

The front and back bumpers is one of the first things you see when you look at a car. Bumpers also serve as the first encounter between the car and the passing air that is flowing over it. If you have a car that doesn’t have the most aerodynamic bumpers - you can change them. That is where the body kit materials come in. The bumpers can either be replaced completely or a "bumper cover” can be installed over your existing bumpers. It is like a skin that goes directly over your stock bumper. Another choice for you would be to add a Front Air Dam or Rear Skirt to your existing factory bumpers. Once an air dam or skirt is added to your bumper and painted it gives that appearance of an entirely new bumper, and many would think that you replaced the entire bumper. Looks and performance can go together- but at a price.

The side skirts of a car are what give it the sleek appearance- or a low profile one! Depending on your car, the basic contour lines and the existing side skirts will decide what needs to be done in this category. There are many different options with companies like Wings West and Xenon Body Kits delivering some of the best on the market.

Hoods serve as a great opportunity to give your car a “new” look. Some hoods have hood scoops built into them and are functional. . Universal hood scoops work well (and are easy to install) on any vehicle. Usually hoods are made of fiberglass material or you could choose to add a carbon fiber hood to lighten up your vehicle.

Wings, otherwise known as car spoilers usually sit on the trunk of your car and redirects where the air flows. The car wings alone will get your vehicle the looks and an appeal of a sporty car. This is probably why car wings are the most popular of car accessories.

For many, aerodynamics really factor into the body kit decision. Keeping a car aerodynamic is what most body kit enthusiasts are all about. Aerodynamics involves letting the wind fly over and around a car with the least amount of effort and in the freest way possible. The biggest factors prove to be the spoilers, hood materials and overall car shape. While most people just buy aerodynamic material to purely make their car more pleasing to the eye, many purchase with the intent of attaining higher speeds. Some items that are popular in this area are hood scoops, roof scoops and spoilers.

Hood and roof scoops allow for the look of a total transformation with the involvement of just a couple of minutes of installation time. The scoops are usually duel (two) or single (one) and rise up to several inches off a car. In the race car world, they would be useful for cooling off an engine rearing at 200 miles per hour. On the streets, they are more for show, as most cars come equipped with suitable ways to avoid overheating. While they won’t help with most cooling systems, a hood or roof scoop will make a car more aerodynamic as it allows wind to slide easily over the car making it easier to drive faster.

These are the some of the biggest adjustments that you could make on a car with a full body kit installation. However, there are other considerations and smaller items that can be of use.

Pin striping tape - put anywhere you wish, the sides, back or right over the top of the car to really give it a race car feel. Colors and graphics enhance the look.

Rear window graphics are a very quick customizable option. You can have designs; pictures or symbols in the form of decals such as racing flags, skulls, sayings, logos, etc… just peel and stick!

An exterior chrome accessory is among the hottest stuff on the market today, and anyone seeking exterior accessories will want to check those out too. These custom after-market add-ons will make your vehicle stand out for sure. Nobody will doubt your car has the best of the best everything when they see how it shines with these accessories. Door handles, mirror covers, headlight trim, pillar post covers, mirror covers, and taillight chrome are all some of the choices available. Even a nice chrome rear trunk trim is available. These accessories are unique and extraordinary, and will add the most bling for your custom after-market designed ride.

There are numerous decisions that could be made to get the look desired and it is always possible to have any car looking the way you want with quality materials. 

Gives Ferrari 458 Spider

Ferrari car manufacturers ready to return to innovate, the manufacturer from Maranello, Italy is ready to give birth Ferrari 458 Spider. This brand-new car will be born in September.
Exotic sports car will be born at the Frankfurt Auto Show and the show is actually a convertible version of the 458 Italian but claimed to have a sexier look.
Birth of a Ferrari 458 Spider will have a hard-top that can be folded like detikOto quotes from Motor Authority, on Wednesday (10/08/2011) 458 Italy is ready to shift the soft-top version.

For strength, 458 Spider will likely still have the power to drive 570 horsepower 400 lb-ft of torque from a capacity of 4.5 liters V8 engine that is hidden on his body.
And to strengthen these crazy machines, in 458 Italian Ferrari was supported by the transmission of the seven-speed dual clutch gearbox rear wheel that can make this car accelerates from 0-100 km per hour in just 3.4 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of up to 325 miles per hour.
But for the 458 Spider despite having the same spec engine seems to be slower considering this car requires a folding roof system and reinforced chassis for it that will ultimately make this car so the weight is heavier than his brother did.
But if you want a more powerful, please be patient. Because Ferrari is reportedly testing a machine they called the F70. This car is prepared as the successor to the Ferrari Enzo.
F70 car is rumored to have a V8 engine with twin-turbo that has the power to 700 horsepower. While his version of the V12 is likely to have more power 50-100 horsepower from its V8 version. In addition, Ferrari reportedly also preparing a replacement 599 GTB Fiorano.
While in 2013, Ferrari will likely launch the latest version (facelift) from California and some news that said that that year would also give birth Ferrari 458 Scuderia, sebauh car faster than 458 Italian and will have some elements taken from car 458 Challenge racing.

Peugeot Hoggar design, strong and modern, has been developed with an eye to aesthetics distinctive feature of the family 207. The facade has an air inlet through which a large impact bar and expressive headlights that turn over the wings, which adds a feline model.

There is a buffer strip along the side of simple, smooth lines of the vehicle along the side of the stage, which not only facilitates access to the cargo space, but also excerpts from the cabin air and improved acoustic comfort in the cabin, thanks to its location. Bus passes to cut all around the cargo area, defined as a symmetrical line of the back. This will improve in two parts: flaps on the door handle extends from the rear tail lights, and opening the lower floor. Between the two lines, the symbol of the Lion Peugeot appears.

2012 Chevrolet Sonic

Chevrolet displayed the all-new 2012 Sonic at the 2011 North American International Auto Show. Its youthful, aggressive design is backed by turbocharged performance and agile ride and handling, combining to deliver an efficient, fun-to-drive small car.
The Chevrolet Sonic is offered in two body styles: a stylish four-door sedan and a sporty five-door. Each delivers class-leading rear-seat roominess and cargo space. A variety of connectivity features enhance the driving experience.

"The all-new Chevrolet Sonic blends the practicality of a small car with the passion for driving that Chevrolet vehicles like the Corvette are known for," said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet marketing. "Its combination of great design, fun driving experience and the latest connectivity features create a serious competitor with a fun spirit."
Production of the Chevrolet Sonic begins later in 2011 at the General Motors Orion Assembly Center in Michigan, which received a $545-million investment in upgrades and retooling, and will help restore approximately 1,000 jobs in the metropolitan Detroit area.

"Chevrolet is the only company building a small car in the United States," said Perry. "We believe the Sonic will bring substance to the segment, with progressive styling, performance and value that will change perceptions of what a small car can be in America."

2011 Nissan 370Z GT Edition

The Nissan 370Z GT Edition recognises its heritage with a nod to the 1970s and the birth of the original Z car: special side stripes.
Grey ‘GT’ stripes running along the flanks of the car contrast with the each of the special edition’s three body colours – metallic black, pearl white and Black Rose, the latter shade exclusive to Nissan 370Z GT Edition. The exterior is set off by the standard 19inch RAYS forged alloy wheels, which are finished in a dramatic anthracite colour.

The Nissan 307Z GT Edition introduces a number of significant suspension and equipment improvements which have also been adopted by the standard Coupé. In deference to the higher average speeds routinely enjoyed in Europe, the changes have been engineered by technicians from Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE). The principal modification has been to retune the dampers to provide the ideal balance between ride comfort and high-speed handling.
Equipment changes include the arrival of a rear view parking camera as part of the Nissan Premium Connect satellite navigation option and the standard fitment of a tyre pressure monitoring system. The advanced seven-speed automatic option now has a snow mode which, when applied, sets the car off in second gear and controls engine revs to prevent wheel spin on ice or snow. Refinement is enhanced by revisions to underbody insulation to reduce road noise.
Unchanged is the Nissan 370Z’s exceptional 3.7-litre V6 engine. A development of the unit that powered the 350Z, the all-alloy 24-valve twin cam not only develops more power and torque but is also more response, more refined and more fuel efficient.
The addition of VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) technology helps deliver electrifying performance, the engine developing 328PS and an impressive 363Nm of torque. It is coupled to a short throw six-speed sports manual gearbox or a seven-speed automatic.
When in S-Mode, the manual transmission features Nissan’s Synchro Rev Control to ensures perfect rev matching when the driver is changing gear, delivering perfect ‘heel and toe’ changes every time.
Sensors on the clutch and on the gear lever itself monitor driver actions to blip the throttle on down shifts and maintain constant engine revs when changing up. As the sensors detect clutch pedal movement, the SRC system is primed, coming into operation when the gear lever is moved. By matching this information to vehicle speed, SRC knows whether the driver is slowing for a corner or changing up through the ‘box.
Downshift Rev Matching is a feature on the automatic gearbox, too, which also has Adaptive Shift Control which learns a driving style and adjust shift patterns accordingly.

The Nissan 370Z’s chassis is a car enthusiast’s dream: double wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear end makes the most of Nissan’s agile FM (Front Midships) rear-drive platform.
With a shorter wheelbase, wider track and stiffer shell than its predecessor, the 370Z has starred on track as well as on road. The innovative GT Academy programme takes computer gamers who have become Gran Turismo experts on PlayStation 3 and turns them into real race drivers. Now in its third season, winners will again race for a place on the grid in a GT4 race prepared 370Z at the Dubai 24 hours in January 2012 and, perhaps, on to the GT pinnacle, GT1.

BMW M5 2012

The silly game of the 2012 BMW M5 renderings continues, but this time, the photoshoped images turned out to be very good. Alpina325ci, member of the forum 5post, delivers some impressive images of what the next M5 might look like.
The new 2012 BMW M5 is rumored not to be only one of the most aggressive and the fastest M to date, but to also incorporate plenty of “green technology”, as part of BMW’s future plans and investments in the EfficientDynamics program. BMW plans to use several new technologies and a KERS system that will put the new M5 ahead of the current model, both in performance and fuel efficiency.
With the new model, BMW M Division estimates a 20%

Designed for Performance
The M5’s secret has always been to remain understated and discreet on the outside, but within lies the “beast”. The typical M5 and BMW M aerodynamic features are featured on the car. With the new 5er central grille being much larger, the central intake size has been diminished. Wheel arches are swollen to add some mass on the F10’s athletic body. A side air intake is placed underneath the character line which climaxes at the wheel arch. The side skirts are more sculptured allowing for good aerodynamics.
At the rear-end, the typical quad exhausts remain with a sculpted diffuser and central intake. A small bootlid spoiler allows the car to remain understated and restrained.

Power
The M5 will inherit a dual clutch transmission which will be unique to the M5, based upon the 7-Speed transmission currently found in the M3. 8-Speed unit will also be available and will be equipped with a stop-start control. The DCT will be operated with steering wheel mounted shifting paddles. The new M5, although not from the beginning, will also be available with optional Carbon Fiber brakes.
The 2012 BMW M5 is powered by an updated version of the engine found in the BMW X5 M and X6 M. The 4.4-liter V8 twin-scroll powerplant will peak at 578-horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque.
The 0-62 mph dash should take about 4.4 seconds, even though we expect to see lower track times.
To keep the weight down, BMW will make extensive use of carbon-fiber and aluminum parts, starting with the a carbon-fiber roof. The car’s construction will be a hybrid of an aluminum spaceframe for the front section and a traditional steel monocoque for the passenger compartment and rear. Up front will be an independent suspension with MacPherson struts, with a multi-link layout for the rear.
The new M5 will make its debut early next year.
