Various amateur clips have been floating around youtube over the past few days, but only high quality content makes it onto WCF. Fortunately German magazine Auto Motor und Sport have met our high standards with the production of a spy video of the new NSX powering round Nurburgring. We highly advise watching all 3 minutes and 19 seconds of the video, but it is strongly recommended a clean pair of trousers is on hand – the sound of the engine is awesome!<a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080627.006/hondaacura-nsx-spy-video">Read All</a><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilxhPZolJYBSj-5HY72D0r57tegO78IhIifnLNGwp50bUljOGAkwtn7ChtUlzL92yp73dMPkS6oErCL6EaNe-NgHkL1y7t-9SYtm9BKAf8YvLrmcbgP4wdFk6q3Q7spL2Z-V6_09H7FKRd/s1600-h/9080627.006.Mini4L.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217584402118459170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilxhPZolJYBSj-5HY72D0r57tegO78IhIifnLNGwp50bUljOGAkwtn7ChtUlzL92yp73dMPkS6oErCL6EaNe-NgHkL1y7t-9SYtm9BKAf8YvLrmcbgP4wdFk6q3Q7spL2Z-V6_09H7FKRd/s400/9080627.006.Mini4L.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU11QM__PPKoGtafnOpYfT61ULM1BoruBqYFZtdPCFNmCyuoQ-CbOhDjWHddlELqNt4BTQwdy9J349WMJZ6BaWn4XXSS1igT-1WkKCpzwFnCZNNimIi3DFG3FkgadlZudpdXtxAko4PO0R/s1600-h/9080627.006.Mini5L.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217584292732082178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU11QM__PPKoGtafnOpYfT61ULM1BoruBqYFZtdPCFNmCyuoQ-CbOhDjWHddlELqNt4BTQwdy9J349WMJZ6BaWn4XXSS1igT-1WkKCpzwFnCZNNimIi3DFG3FkgadlZudpdXtxAko4PO0R/s400/9080627.006.Mini5L.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><center><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B0OTEZDAb9c&hl=en"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B0OTEZDAb9c&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other article:</span><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/05/1st-pics-honda-legend-facelift.html">Honda Legend facelift</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/05/honda-legend_4478.html">Honda Legend</a></span>

What if it also had an yatch like tail, like classic cars from the 1930’s, and were a roadster, or, even better, an off-roadster? You don’t have to force your imagination to figure it out, since Thomas Bell, the founder of Bell Aurens, has materialised this idea - called Longnose.<br /><br />“The 12 cylinder is available on request - our preferred solutions are the Rover V8 4.6 or 5.0 or the double V8 as V16. They are closer to the original idea - nevertheless V12 have a similar tradition with cars of British origin and thus will be available on demand. The Merlin engine is an idea which is feasable, but has not yet been calculated. It is possible though - nevertheless it will remain a promotion car with, if at all, very restricted street legality”, Holger Kalvelage, spokesman for Bell Aurens, has told World Car Fans.<a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080627.001/bell-aurens-longnose-a-land-rover-with-over-1500-hp">Read All</a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other article:</span><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/06/new-british-sportscar-breaks-cover.html">New British Sportscar Breaks Cover</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/05/ag-excaliber-from-lithuania-with-30.html">AG Excaliber from Lithuania with 30-inch Wheels</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/05/full-details-and-images-for-spada.html">Full Details and Images for Spada Codatronca TS</a><br /><a href="http://ddgg-newyorktimes.blogspot.com/2008/05/spadaconcept-ts-codatronca-concept.html">Spadaconcept TS Codatronca Concept</a>

The 3.0 TFSI develops 213 kW (290 hp) and a huge 420 Nm (309.78 lb-ft) of torque. It combines two state-of-the-art technologies in perfect style – gasoline direct injection and compressor supercharging. The hi-tech V6 will go into production later in the year.<br /><br />The brand with the four rings has a long tradition of supercharged engines. The legendary Grand Prix racing cars built by Auto Union back in the 1930s already featured compressors, which coaxed as much as 440 kW (around 600 hp) out of the mighty 16-cylinder and 12-cylinder engines. From the late 1970s on, Audi focused its attention on the exhaust turbocharger, which helped it to a succession of noteworthy triumphs in the world of motor sport. It was at this time that Audi`s turbo engines began to enjoy resounding market success.<br /><br />The compressor is now staging a comeback. It is the ideal supercharging technology for the new three-liter V6, the 3.0 TFSI; the T in Audi engine designations consequently no longer exclusively denotes turbo versions.<br /><br />Extensive comparative tests revealed the mechanical supercharger to be superior to a biturbo concept for this engine. In conjunction with direct injection, its packaging, starting performance and dynamic response were far superior.<br /><br />The compressor is so compact that it easily fits inside the 90-degree V of the cylinder banks, in place of the intake manifold. Because it is driven by the engine via poly-V belt, its full thrust is available from idle speed upwards, producing huge pulling power when driving off. The 3.0 TFSI delivers its maximum 420 Nm (309.78 lb-ft) at only 2,500 rpm and maintains this constantly until 4,850 rpm.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/benzs.blog%20Audi%20Officially%20Announce%20New%203.0%20TFSI%20Supercharged%20Engine">Read All Article</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Other article:</span><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/06/audi-r8-v10-spotted-in-full-production.html">Full Production Trim at Nurburging for Audi R8 V10 Spotted</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2007/11/audi-r8-v10-proto-returns-to-ring.html">Audi R8 V10</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/01/audi-r8-v12-tdi-concept-revealed.html">Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept Revealed</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/01/audi-r8-also-on-sale-in-china.html">Audi R8 Also on Sale in China</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/01/audi-r8-in-depth_5259.html">Audi R8 in Depth</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/01/audi-pioneers-all-led-headlamp-with-r8.html">Audi Pioneers All LED headlamp with R8 model</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2007/11/audi-r8-tuned-by-ppi.html">Audi R8 Tuned By PPI</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/01/audi-r8-by-edo-competition.html">Audi R8 by edo Competition</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2007/12/audi-r8-for-only-45.html">Audi R8 for only £45</a>

The research project tests the efficient use of renewable energy sources in transportation with 20 test vehicles using TwinDrive technology.<br /><br />The core objectives of the research project are not only to improve fuel economy but to also enable driving in urban areas by electrical power only using renewable energy. Therefore, the electric motors of the test fleet should only be driven by electricity generated from renewable energy sources (wind, water and solar power).<br /><br />Initiated by the German government, the project has put together an alliance of eight Germany industry giants in collaboration. Assuming leadership of the project, “Volkswagen will be investing double-digit millions in advanced development of this technology,” according to VW Chairman, Prof. Dr. Winterkorn. The German Federal Ministry for the Environment is also committing millions of Euros for the large-scale study that runs until 2012.<br /><br />Federal Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel states, “The test fleet test can make a significant contribution in unifying mobility and climate protection as a result of the close cooperation of partners from the automotive, battery and energy producing industries.” Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn reaffirmed, “For the first time ever, energy producers and consumers are merging to form an even more powerful alliance. If this fleet test is a success, that would be a positive signal for worldwide climate protection.”<a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080627.002/vw-golf-twin-drive-plug-in-hybrid-prototype-revealed">Read All Article</a><br /><br /><center><a href="http://img128.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=1564711726"><img src="http://img128.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/1564711726.jpeg" /></a> <a href="http://img124.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=502796678"><img src="http://img124.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/502796678.jpeg" /></a> <a href="http://img126.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=967057163"><img src="http://img126.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/967057163.jpeg" /></a> <a href="http://img126.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=782428508"><img src="http://img126.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/782428508.jpeg" /></a><a href="http://img124.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=1778349716"><img src="http://img124.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/1778349716.jpeg" /></a> <a href="http://img126.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=1692035242"><img src="http://img126.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/1692035242.jpeg" /></a> <a href="http://img130.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=378369203"><img src="http://img130.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/378369203.jpeg" /></a> <a href="http://img130.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=942898573"><img src="http://img130.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/942898573.jpeg" style="width: 108px; height: 82px;" /></a><a href="http://img125.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=1226309161"><img src="http://img125.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/1226309161.jpeg" style="width: 108px; height: 81px;" /></a> </center><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other article:</span><br /><a href="http://cars-space.blogbus.com/logs/23385909.html">2009 VW Scirocco In Depth</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/06/volkswagen-announces-jetta-tdi-us.html">Volkswagen Announces Jetta TDI US Pricing</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/06/2009-vw-scirocco-in-depth.html">2009 VW Scirocco Video & Photos</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/05/volkswagen-scirocco-ready-to.html">Volkswagen Scirocco Ready to the Nurburgring</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/04/volkswagen-scirocco-3d-animation-video.html">Volkswagen Scirocco 3D Animation Video</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/03/volkswagen-scirocco-in-its-environment.html">Volkswagen Scirocco in Its Environment: The Road!</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-volkswagen-scirocco-video.html">New Volkswagen Scirocco Video</a><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/03/volkswagen-scirocco-unveiled_3232.html">Volkswagen Scirocco Unveiled</a>

Renntech soon put that sweet taste back with their own tuning package which boosted the supercar's power up to where it should be at 722 horses, and now by popular demand the tuning house has pumped yet more ponies out of the 5.4-liter supercharged engine bringing total power up to 740hp<br /><br /><br /><br />For the upgraded tuning package Renntech have re-worked the ECU software and added a less restrictive motorsports-style exhaust system to get the extra ponies to the new Renntech Signature 10-spoke, 3 piece performance wheels.<br /><br /><br /><br />For an extra bit of added spice the tuner has also provided a nice little video in which you can hear the engine. <a href="http://technorati.com/posts/RagJS%2FGBgyIuC2dBdATbBTUSswKCUUkTN4j4%2BD85rKI%3D">More Articles</a><br /><br />via:<a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.worldcarfans.com">World Car Fans</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://img130.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=1876570942"><img src="http://img130.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/1876570942.jpeg" /></a> <a href="http://img129.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=1867747853"><img src="http://img129.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/1867747853.jpeg" /></a> <href="http: com="" id="440769187""><img src="http://img128.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/440769187.jpeg" /> <a href="http://img125.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=570170428"><img src="http://img125.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/570170428.jpeg" /></a><a href="http://img126.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=659016776"><img src="http://img126.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/659016776.jpeg" /></a> <a href="http://img128.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=434677473"><img src="http://img128.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/434677473.jpeg" /></a> <a href="http://img130.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=421538789"><img src="http://img130.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/421538789.jpeg" /></a> <a href="http://img128.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=291437585"><img src="http://img128.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/291437585.jpeg" style="width: 108px; height: 82px;" /></a><a href="http://img130.hotlinkimage.com/img.php?id=268385977"><img src="http://img130.hotlinkimage.com/thumb/268385977.jpeg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /></href="http:></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other article:</span><br /><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/06/iphone-integration-coming-to-new.html">IPhone Integration Coming To New Mercedes ...</a><br /><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/06/renntech-mercedes-benz-clk63-amg-black.html">Renntech Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series</a><br /><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2008/05/kicherer-tunes-mercedes-clk63-amg-black.html">Kicherer Tunes the Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Edition</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/2070404.009/mercedes-clk-63-amg-black-series-revealed">Mercedes CLK 63 AMG Black Series Revealed</a><br /><br /><a href="http://benzs.blogspot.com/2007/10/mercedes-benz-clk63-amg-black-series.html">Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series</a>
