Ford GT and Ford GTX1 featured in TopGear

Jeremy  Clarkson from shows off the new Ford  GT and Ford GTX1, this are supposed to be awesome fast cars ever made in American, The Ford GT has 550 horse power and the Ford GTX1 has 700 horse power. This car probably does about 4 miles to the gallon but who care they look really good on the road, way better than a corvette, and the sound when they accelerate is music to my ears.

Off-road 4×4 car rides on water

This cool 4×4 car is pretty amazing enough to see it climb big hills, the frame of the car is custom build with big truck axles and a Chevy V8 engine, this is probably THE car to have when going off road, specially when going up hill, In this video the amazing vehicle with its huge mud scooping tires will go really fast on a lake trying to scoop as much water and as fast as possible to try to keep the heavy car afloat other wise, it will sink. They even had the car race in the lake again’s an snowmobile !!

Take a ride on the BMW Hydrogen 7

I was just looking over at some of the Hydrogen vehicles that BMW are working on, and I saw the BMW Hydrogen 7, it’s a car that works on both gasoline as well as hydrogen, and with the push of a button the car can run on hydrogen or gasoline which ever you choose. This model of hybrid hydrogen/gasoline is very convenient because only in very few places you can find a place to refuel on hydrogen but for those places where you can get hydrogen, having one of this will be really cool.  It would be interesting to find out once hydrogen becomes more main stream, how much the cost of hydrogen would compare to the cost of gasoline. Here are some videos of the BMW Hydrogen7 in action as well as computer animated short of how the hydrogen engine works. date:Object

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

Nice intro to the Murcielago LP640 from the folks of TopGear, here you can see how is to drive this beast and see it compete against a VW GTI, of course the Lamborghini  wins but you get the idea of how much faster is this thing compared to a normal car. Unfortunately is not a cheap car but it’s definitely a nice car to see running on the streets.

Better toy than a racing bike = the atom

 One of my friends is thinking about getting a street bike like a Kawasaki ninja or something like that, one of those toys where you feel one with the road.  Personally I would never ride a bike on the streets just because of all the risk involved in possible accidents with other car or trucks , etc.  For those who like the feel of driving a really fast toy there is the atom, this car is a super light car, about 500 kilograms and with a supercharged motor that delivers 300 break horse power, the Ton/horse power ratio is effectively 600 break horse power, which means this car accelerates faster than a Porsche carrera. This car begun production in south England by a small company called Ariel, now the atom is being made in America and apparently there is a lot of people ordering this super fast toy. The first video shows the atom that was made in England and the second show the Atom being build in USA.  I think I’ll put this on my Christmas list fore sure !!

Nice video of fighter jets (Jon bon jovi music)

This is a pretty cool clip, with excellent music and great video footage of some older generation jet fighters, the video looks pretty nice specially because there are many other jet fighter involved in the video as well a commercial airliner and a mid-air refueling plane,  this guys are having an awesome time flying this jets.

Ouch!! Rally car goes flying

I saw a short clip when a rally car skids along a curve at high speed and gets a little off road and hits a solid stump that sends the car flying in the air and spins it like a blender, ouch, this sort of things reminds me of why I am not driving a rally car, sure it looks fun when the drivers knows how to drive, but I would not want to be inside this car, that looks like a major backslash.

Surfing using dynamite generated waves !!

Some people can’t get enough surfing throughout the year, so what they do when the surf is down? Well create your own waves of course, using dynamite, in the video it looks like the concept works well, however I would not recommend doing this unless you really know what you are doing. Perhaps for bigger waves you should use more dynamite?
