2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_379025868"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjim0FbNYiGOouukjZFpV6BnuBlaVu7ruIOUM2uMFMSbY8pAclHvNZdaLbLYRQNLKbkAoOFQhj-VCbBwYl8YLaY_zNJHyqE6-LniLxed33VgOtziIB01V62rCs7vUVEYUOTI-rhLct-mw4/s400/-2012-Lamborghini-Jota-4.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first clear pictures with the all-new <b>2012 Lamborghini Murcielago </b>have surfed over the web today, a <b>superca</b>r that will be probably named “<b>Jota</b>” and will replace the current Murcielago. The car will go on sale early next year and will be priced at over £300,000.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We all know Lamborghini Murciélago, has been racing around since 2002 and as its time for it to take a rest, and let its successor take onto the track. Lamborghini engineers appear to be just ready with the replacement of the mighty supercar. Taking its first learning steps in the cold weather on a VW/Audi test track somewhere in Scandinavia, the next supercar was caught test-driving by the spy photographers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_379025868"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWJsIqO0Tg_3-g9vNZPYc8IJraKPVEy3U4RdvqyBRn3hqEQobJKxKKKn_mJXGpHsHG6wSjRXadri7vxBjhcTklyCY1_ZXIAoxjejCMHWkYw7lfpj4ESBMl2MZ8159G0yOQpRLSDFTOdiY/s400/-2012-Lamborghini-Jota-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2012 Lamborghini Jota Murcielago</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It might have been blisteringly cold at Volkswagen/Audi’s secret test location in northern Scandinavia, but the prototype car in question was red hot: It’s the replacement for Lamborghini’s mighty Murciélago. Rumored to be called the Jota (the name of a one-off development Lamborghini from 1970), the latest Lamborghini supercar is sure to be the greatest yet from Sant’Agata Bolognese.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_379025868"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQpvobHB1MemToWGrNV3fTTcJEajdjzOXT177zQwMCZRm6E-jtB6KcVGPFhkjiNyd5WvM9NblBrygd-I5WQM7Z5xs8x4IPwcc9r3enfO02mvtYMwrc0jso2tfoVMekA3v4DTOYKyf8PoI/s400/-2012-Lamborghini-Jota-1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2012 Lamborghini Jota Murcielago</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The <b>2012 Lamborghini Jota Murcielago</b> is powered by a 7.0L V12 engine that is able to deliver between 700 and 720 HP and will take this supercar to an amazing top speed of 362 km/h! The new Lambo will feature a bespoke carbon composite chassis with an aggressive and dynamic bodywork and will come with an unusually light four wheel drive system. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_379025868"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgho2wZuIS4LvCpw14wBmlMHXbvrkOmwIpL7XyKQ7hmhDzJzmBBeXh7XJTJrl4Z8cZbFfYBP309QoVw0QRx9rudEmAxL8sGhq0ekojjHGjbNAC2FSAIAN_b4E9fC2FyGz7luQVBnpiDwq4/s400/-2012-Lamborghini-Jota-5.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2012 Lamborghini Jota Murcielago</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sources indicate that this new Lambo will weight less than 1,500 kg which will probably result in a breathtaking acceleration. Since the power to weight ratio will be in the region of 470 HP per 1,000 kg the car will probably accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 2012 Lamborghini Jota Murcielago won’t feature a DSG transmission because it would be too complex and too expensive to engineer but it will come with a sequential seven speed manual with a seven speed paddle shift as standard.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_379025868"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4p3hC9la6354dz5se3wLkgU8xuNuxaZDhyenM1Sp1Faa8cEhAL60vHiMZ0y6o2WS1925VGgn7NsVjPP1wwMZG9cSfYOAh1-XWAPSST4nUC0thBlsQd9LNFmg7PveUdR8E_Q7Qcm1mPbc/s400/-2012-Lamborghini-Jota-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2012 Lamborghini Jota Murcielago</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is also expected that a dual-clutch transmission may be used to transfer power to the four wheels of the new Lambo. Another rumour soaring around is regarding the new all-wheel drive system from Swedish supplier Haldex. Newfound lightness will come via an aluminum/carbon-fiber version of the aluminum space frame from the Audi R8, replacing the current Murciélago’s steel chassis. Other weight savings will be achieved through the use of lightweight body panels; but instead of extensive use of carbon fiber as originally thought, Lamborghini’s partnership with aircraft builder Boeing has apparently led to research into other composites that yield a better cost/benefit ratio than carbon fiber. Lamborghini’s goal going forward is that every new car tips the scales about 200 lb. less than the car it replaces.</div>

With the power of race cars and the sleek, curves and designs of a luxury car, the combination from the two car manufacturers is hard to beat.A blast from the past and a taste of the future, this might just be a good description of the latest sports car that came out from a collaboration of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz and McLaren</span>, two big giants in the car manufacturing industry. We're talking about the 2004 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. </span><br />This supercar is definitely fast. SLR McLaren sports a 626-horsepower supercharged 5.5-liter V8. Also, it has a full carbon-fiber monocoque, features crash structures and body panels. And with the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> supercharge V8 engine</span>, you can see the 2004 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren</span> go from naught to 60 miles per hour in less than 3.6 seconds. Top speed has been measured to exceed 200 mph, a feat that can only be achieved by very few even among the high performance sports cars. It was the high-performance division of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz</span> which created the V8s. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The AMG</span> were the ones who hand-build the supercharged V8 engines with top notched precision and quality. It is not at a big surprise to see the supercharged 5.5 (5439 cc) liter dry sumped 90 degree V8 engine to produce around 466.8 kW at 6500 rpm (626 hp) and 780 N·m (575 ft·lbf) torque at 3250 - 5000 rpm. The numbers maybe daunting but the sound of the engine will appease the minds of those who long for the perfect high performance cars.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_735591561" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390802531967281314" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Ss_6V1QvqKI/AAAAAAAAAJU/enhg-tZ6Xf4/s400/SLR-McLaren-Mercedes-Benz-Sports-Car-2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">SLR McLaren Mercedes-Benz Sports Car</span></div><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_735591561"><br /></a><br />Mounting that V8 engine into the body of SLR exotic car is also not as traditional as one would like to expect. The engine in SLR sports car is placed in a front mid-engine position just behind the front wheels. Instead of using the traditional oil-pan, dry-sump lubricants are used. With this innovation, it is highly possible to mount the engine to a level that used to be unachievable. Because of the low position of the engine in the supercar's body, the results are more than one hoped. The new Mercedez-Benz SLR McLaren race car has better aerodynamics and better handling due to the lower center of gravity.<br />Not only does the mean features of the sports car that attracts attention but how the two car companies were able to fuse their own traditions and expertise into a single exotic car. For one, McLaren's expertise in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Formula 1</span> has been imbibed wholly by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">SLR's desig</span>n. The composition of carbon fiber material that was used in the body of the new SLR sports car is so Formula 1. Because of this body, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren has become more rigid and surprisingly strong.<br />The SLR also has a five speed automatic transmission. There are modes, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sport, Comfort and Manual </span>which basically covers every known driving style. Sport is for everyday use, Comfort for bumpy or slippery roads, and Manual gives you control over the gears either through the touchpad or the levers on the steering wheel. When you use Manual, you open up three more modes, namely <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sport, Supersport and Race</span>. Speed increased significantly as you go up shifts.<br /><br /></div>

However it also retained a unique sense of character and presence. Williams thought it would be interesting to develop the brand identity of McLaren - but more <span style="font-weight: bold;">specifically the F1 model</span> - and bring it into the <span style="font-weight: bold;">21st Century</span>. And while the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> LM5 concept</span> was designed to offer a similar personality and overall stance to the F1, it was also designed to utilize more extreme and race-influenced bodywork.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/StS8H0kF-wI/AAAAAAAAAME/lGqEH8CaoWo/s1600-h/2009-LM5-McLaren-Concept-Car-by-Matt-Williams-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392141496424463106" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/StS8H0kF-wI/AAAAAAAAAME/lGqEH8CaoWo/s400/2009-LM5-McLaren-Concept-Car-by-Matt-Williams-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2009 LM5 McLaren Concept Car </span><br /></div><br />The McLaren LM5 concept features the same three-seat layout with a central drivers seat as the old F1. All three sports seats have an extremely slim profile to reduce weight and free up interior space, and instead of conventional safety belts all the seats feature racing-style four-point harnesses. The multifunction steering wheel features a central display for the tachometer.<br />The proposed engine for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">McLaren LM5 concept</span> is a worked over <span style="font-weight: bold;">5.0 litre V10 sourced from BMW.</span> Mounted midship in the carbon fibre pre-preg chassis this unit would make the LM5 a force to be reckoned with on both road and track.<br />While the LM5 is at the moment just one man's idea of what the F1's successor could look like, the design itself uses both past and present McLaren influences giving it a sense of realism. And It's important to remember that McLaren themselves have made it public knowledge that they're working on developing a successor to their most iconic car within the next couple of years.<br /></div>

It's t<span style="font-weight: bold;">he first supercar</span> ever to be designed and engineered using <span style="font-weight: bold;">wood</span> as the primary construction material. In the past some vehicles have used wood to various degrees in their construction, but never to the extent the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Splinter</span> does.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Splinter </span>is a graduate project <span style="font-weight: bold;">by students </span>at <span style="font-weight: bold;">North Carolina State University.</span> Wood has been used where possible, including the chassis, body, and even a large percentage of the suspension components and wheels.<br />While moving components like the suspension might seem impossible to fashion out of wood, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Splinter team realized</span> that a leaf spring shares many traits with longbows, flexible, durable and with progressive spring rates. After research they decided to use Osage orange wood, which is the strongest wood found in <span style="font-weight: bold;">North America</span>. The front suspension therefore comprises of a laminated <span style="font-weight: bold;">Osage orange wood </span>leaf spring transversely mounted and providing suspension for both front wheels.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/StSuQsFt40I/AAAAAAAAAL0/VI_B_6kQ_ho/s1600-h/Splinter-Wooden-Supercar-twin-supercharged-V8-engine-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392126255605605186" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/StSuQsFt40I/AAAAAAAAAL0/VI_B_6kQ_ho/s400/Splinter-Wooden-Supercar-twin-supercharged-V8-engine-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Splinter Wooden Supercar twin supercharged V8 engine</span><br /></div><br />The wheels of the Splinter are made from rotary cut <span style="font-weight: bold;">oak veneers</span>. Each veneer was rotated 36 degrees from the previous layer to maximize grain direction alignment with the spokes. A walnut sunburst was cut for the front while a cherry sunburst was used on the back.<br />The mid-engined layout of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Splinter wooden supercar </span>comprises of a 4.6 litre, <span style="font-weight: bold;">twin supercharged V8 </span>mated to a 6 speed manual gearbox and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Getrag</span> limited slip differential.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Splinter</span> is not intended for mass production, nor is it designed to break and performance or handling records. The design is merely to show that with intelligent and creative thinking a car can be created out of the most unlikely materials.<br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>

With the power of race cars and the sleek, curves and designs of a luxury car, the combination from the two car manufacturers is hard to beat.A blast from the past and a taste of the future, this might just be a good description of the latest sports car that came out from a collaboration of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz and McLaren</span>, two big giants in the car manufacturing industry. We're talking about the 2004 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. </span><br />This supercar is definitely fast. SLR McLaren sports a 626-horsepower supercharged 5.5-liter V8. Also, it has a full carbon-fiber monocoque, features crash structures and body panels. And with the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> supercharge V8 engine</span>, you can see the 2004 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren</span> go from naught to 60 miles per hour in less than 3.6 seconds. Top speed has been measured to exceed 200 mph, a feat that can only be achieved by very few even among the high performance sports cars. It was the high-performance division of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz</span> which created the V8s. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The AMG</span> were the ones who hand-build the supercharged V8 engines with top notched precision and quality. It is not at a big surprise to see the supercharged 5.5 (5439 cc) liter dry sumped 90 degree V8 engine to produce around 466.8 kW at 6500 rpm (626 hp) and 780 N·m (575 ft·lbf) torque at 3250 - 5000 rpm. The numbers maybe daunting but the sound of the engine will appease the minds of those who long for the perfect high performance cars.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Ss_6V1QvqKI/AAAAAAAAAJU/enhg-tZ6Xf4/s1600-h/SLR-McLaren-Mercedes-Benz-Sports-Car-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390802531967281314" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Ss_6V1QvqKI/AAAAAAAAAJU/enhg-tZ6Xf4/s400/SLR-McLaren-Mercedes-Benz-Sports-Car-2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">SLR McLaren Mercedes-Benz Sports Car</span></div><br />Mounting that V8 engine into the body of SLR exotic car is also not as traditional as one would like to expect. The engine in SLR sports car is placed in a front mid-engine position just behind the front wheels. Instead of using the traditional oil-pan, dry-sump lubricants are used. With this innovation, it is highly possible to mount the engine to a level that used to be unachievable. Because of the low position of the engine in the supercar's body, the results are more than one hoped. The new Mercedez-Benz SLR McLaren race car has better aerodynamics and better handling due to the lower center of gravity.<br />Not only does the mean features of the sports car that attracts attention but how the two car companies were able to fuse their own traditions and expertise into a single exotic car. For one, McLaren's expertise in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Formula 1</span> has been imbibed wholly by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">SLR's desig</span>n. The composition of carbon fiber material that was used in the body of the new SLR sports car is so Formula 1. Because of this body, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren has become more rigid and surprisingly strong.<br />The SLR also has a five speed automatic transmission. There are modes, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sport, Comfort and Manual </span>which basically covers every known driving style. Sport is for everyday use, Comfort for bumpy or slippery roads, and Manual gives you control over the gears either through the touchpad or the levers on the steering wheel. When you use Manual, you open up three more modes, namely <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sport, Supersport and Race</span>. Speed increased significantly as you go up shifts.<br />With all these features it is not surprising that the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is classified as a <span style="font-weight: bold;">sports car and a supercar</span>. Remember to get this right, though, the "SLR" does not stand for "Sportlich, Leicht, Rennsport" which is German for "Sport; Light; Racing" as most people think. Its real meaning is "super-leicht, Rennsport" which means "super-light, racing." The sports car is being sold with a base price of €443,066 £300,000 or $450,000.<br /></div>

The car is designed to use 91-octane gasoline. The 6-speed transmission is readjusted to increase the theoretical top speed to 273.75 mph (437 km/h) at 7200 rpm, however whether the vehicle is able to reach this speed is highly questionable and has never been tested.<br />Twin-Turbo V8 Engine with 1183 hp, base price is $654,400. Tested in March 2007 by Guinness world records<br />Wheels on the base model are sized 18-inch at the front and 19-inch at the rear, while the Ultimate Aero TT has wheels an inch larger at each end.<br />The 2007 models are heavier, with the base model weighing 2,850 lb (1,290 kg), and Ultimate version 2,750 lb (1,250 kg). Unlike the previous year, base models have a navigation system, 10-speaker audio/CD/DVD system, video/DVD screen, back-up camera, air-conditioning, and trunk space as standard equipment. These come optional on the Ultimate.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The first production 2007 Ultimate Aero TT car was sold on eBay for US $431,100. Later cars are expected to cost US $654,000. Only 24 Ultimate Aero TT's are going to be produced from 2006-2007. The Ultimate Aero TT made its international debut on the International Show Circuit in November 2006, culminating with the world record top-speed competition held in Wolfsburg, Germany in May 2007.<br /></div>

Engineering </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Edonis  Super Car by Jean Marc Borel</span> </div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Edonis </span>cannot be described as a beautiful car, but it certainly eye catching. Its angular, complicated lines crash awkwardly together in a chaotic fashion, this trend is evident from almost every angle. The headlights give the impression of tiredness, or even depression.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Edonis supercar</span> is a creation of <span style="font-weight: bold;">B. Engineering</span>, a company run<span style="font-weight: bold;"> by Jean Marc Borel. </span>The Edonis was intended as a demonstration of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">design</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">prototype</span> abilities of his company. The<span style="font-weight: bold;"> B. Engineering Edonis </span>is a genuine supercar with a 0-60 time under 4 seconds, and a maximum speed of 225 mph.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/StTTfkbbRRI/AAAAAAAAAMs/zOI2rioyk6w/s1600-h/B.Engineering-Edonis-SuperCar-by-Jean-Marc-Borel-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392167193177441554" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/StTTfkbbRRI/AAAAAAAAAMs/zOI2rioyk6w/s400/B.Engineering-Edonis-SuperCar-by-Jean-Marc-Borel-2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">B. Engineering </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Edonis  Super Car by Jean Marc Borel</span> </div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />The Edonis</span> has little to be sad about. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Twin turbochargers</span> feed a <span style="font-weight: bold;">3.7 litre V-12 engine</span> to create a whopping 680 bhp at 8,000 rpm. All this power is run through a six-speed manual gearbox.<br />Using a monocoque built from carbon fiber the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Edonis</span> is very strong and light. All the cosmetic exterior body panels are aluminum. To reduce weight further aluminum brake calipers are used.<br />To save even more space and weight the Edonis rides on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Michelin PAX </span>run-flat tires, this means a spare wheel is surplus to requirement.<br /><br /></div>
