DoubleBack Volkswagen Campervan
Além disso, o teto também se levanta, permitindo que a luz solar entre no interior do veículo. O Doubleback custa 55 mil libras esterlinas (mais o Transporter T5 original), e estará disponível para compra na segunda metade de 2012.
Nelson Piquet, no Roda Viva, fala sobre a morte de Ayrton Senna
Por uma terrível coincidência, Ayrton Senna morre no dia anterior. A entrevista então é direcionada em torno do acidente. Nelson Piquet fala do traiçoeiro circuito de Ímola, relembra os momentos dramáticos dos acidentes na curva Tamburello, relata o que pode ter levado ao acidente de Ayrton Senna, faz uma análise sobre os acidentes de Rubens Barrichello, Roland Ratzenberger e Ayrton Senna, fala da pressão psicológica sobre Ayrton Senna, comenta a proibição da suspensão ativa da Williams, "profetiza" o futuro da F1 dos anos 2000, com o que chamou de circuitos "Mickey Mouse".
Electric Engine vs. Combustion Engine
Primeiro, um Tesla Roadster contra um Porsche 911 Carrera S. Depois, uma réplica elétrica de Shelby Cobra Coupé contra um Chevrolet Camaro 428 Big Block.
Uma vantagem do motor elétrico é o seu torque máximo estar disponível desde a primeira rotação, ao contrário dos motores a combustão, que precisam atingir um certo número de giros para entregar toda a força que podem.

Guidable: A Verdadeira História do Ratos de Porão
Com muitas imagens raras e inéditas, o filme é contado pelos próprios integrantes da banda. A versão em DVD foi lançada pela parceria dos selos Läjä Records e Ideal Records. O segundo disco contém seis horas de material extra.
Guidable, termo criado pelos integrantes da banda para definir confusão mental, bagunça generalizada ou simplesmente um sei lá. Também pode ser usado quando não se acha a palavra certa no momento apropriado. Muitas vezes substitui o "foda-se" com eficiência.
Ferrari HY-KERS 2012 3D Animation
Veja como funciona a evolução do sistema híbrido da Ferrari criado em 2010, e apresentado no Salão do Automóvel de Pequim. O sistema HY-KERS foi adaptado aos carros da marca com motor central, e consegue reduzir a emissão de CO2 em até 40%.
Success for Ferrari at Beijing Autoshow. Huge crowds on the stand to see the F12berlinetta and the HY-KERS
Beijing, 23th April 2012 – After a hugely successful unveiling at Geneva, the F12berlinetta, the first in a new generation of Maranello's flagship12-cylinder cars, makes its Asian debut at the Beijing International Motor Show. The event will also host the world premiere of the evolution of the HY-KERS concept, coupling hybrid technology with mid-rear architecture to cut fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on the combined cycle by 40 per cent whilst boosting performance.
The F12berlinetta is the most powerful and high-performance road-going Ferrari ever. Powered by a truly exceptional V12 engine, it is built around an evolution of Ferrari's transaxle lay-out and features cutting-edge components and electronic controls. The F12berlinetta also boasts extremely advanced aerodynamics and a design that exudes an innovative yet classic beauty.
The car's wheelbase is shorter, its engine and driver position are lower and a new suspension and gearbox layout has yielded a more compact tail section. The result is a shorter, lower and narrower car than the previous V12 coupé. It also boasts perfect weight distribution (54% over the rear axle) and a lower centre of gravity further back in the chassis.
With a Fiorano lap time of 1'23'', 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.1 seconds and 0-200 km/h covered in 8.5 s, the F12berlinetta delivers absolutely benchmark performance. The handling balance achieved ensures maximum driving involvement even at low speeds, a feature thus far the sole domain of mid-rear-engined cars. The sporty handling is equally nimble and responsive on the road as on the track.
Great attention was paid to reducing fuel consumption and emissions which have been slashed by 30 per cent, with the result that the F12berlinetta tops its segment in terms of efficiency with 15l/100 km and 350 g/km of CO2.
The other important unveiling at Beijing is the evolution of the HY-KERS project adapted to a mid-rear engine layout. The powertrain on display consists of a 12-cylinder engine and dual-clutch gearbox coupled to an electric motor. A second electric motor is dedicated to the auxiliary systems and is located in front of the V12. The two electric motors are connected to the batteries which can be positioned in the car in line with the available space and final configuration.
The objective of this configuration is to create a sports car that, thanks to the integration with the electric motors, increases power while at the same time reducing emissions. The KERS features new, smaller and lighter electronic components which come close to achieving the declared target of 1 KW per kg of extra weight added by the hybrid system.
Technological transfer from F1 was fundamental to the design, engineering and construction of an innovative electric motor used to optimise the car's longitudinal and lateral dynamic characteristics, namely torque management, traction control and brake distribution, to the benefit of sportiness and driving pleasure.
The HY-KERS' electric motor delivers power using one of the gearbox's two clutches and is mated to one of the two main shafts. The result is instantaneous, continuous power delivery between the electric motor and petrol engine. During braking, the electric motor acts as a generator, using the kinetic energy from the negative torque to recharge the batteries. This crucial task is managed by a dedicated ECU, also F1-derived, which not only controls the electric motor, but also governs the power to the auxiliary systems (power steering, brake servo, air conditioning, onboard systems).
Work on the system has now reached the end of the experimental phase and the development phase will commence in the coming months. With the same nominal power output of a normal ICE, the HY-KERS system will enable Ferrari to reduce emissions by 40 per cent over the combined cycle.
