Lamborghini Gallardo

The Gallardo was designed as a competitor to the Ferrari 360, and now competes with its replacement, the Ferrari F430. The Gallardo has a rear-biased all-wheel drive system which differentiates it from its rear-wheel drive competitors. Lamborghini's parent company Audi is renowned for its Quattro AWD system, however Lamborghini uses a system of its own.

Unlike the Countach, Diablo, and Murciélago models, the Gallardo does not have scissor doors.

The Gallardo was designed by Luc Donckerwolke, who won the 2003 Red Dot Award for the design of both the 2003 Gallardo and 2002 Murciélago.

At current U.S. prices, a 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo coupe costs USD $186,250 - $222,800, while a 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder costs USD $201,595 - $263,595.

As of March 2008, the Gallardo is the only model to use the Lamborghini V10 engine.

The Gallardo offers two choices of transmissions, a conventional (H-Box) six-speed manual transmission, and an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled 'semi-automatic single-clutch sequential manual', which Lamborghini abbreviates to "E-gear". The "E-gear" allows the driver to make shifts much faster than a manual transmission would. The driver shifts up and down via paddles behind the steering wheel, and does not need to manually actuate the clutch.

The Audi R8 sports car, launched in early 2007, is based on the Gallardo platform, and uses a 4.2 litre V8 in place of the Gallardo's V10 to avoid competing directly with the Gallardo.

For the 2008 model year, an onboard computer, iPod connectivity with USB, heated mirrors, Q-citura stitching that originally could only be found on the Nera model, and a beige soft-top on the Spyder, were added to the Gallardo.

AH-64 Apache

The AH-64 Apache is an all-weather day-night military attack helicopter and is the United States Army's principal attack helicopter, and is the successor to the AH-1 Cobra. The AH-64 is a twin-engined helicopter with four-bladed main and tail rotors. It has a crew of two which sit in tandem. The main fixed armament is a 30 mm M230 Chain Gun, it is also able to carry a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire and Hydra 70 rockets on four hard points mounted on its stub-wing pylons.

Designed by Hughes Helicopters in response to the Army's Advanced Attack Helicopter Program. McDonnell Douglas purchased Hughes Helicopters and continued the development of the AH-64 resulting in the AH-64D Apache Longbow which is currently produced by Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. The United States Army's Apaches have been in action in Panama, Gulf War (destroying 500 tanks), Afghanistan, and Iraq.

Yamaha YZF-R1 2007

An all-new YZF-R1 for the 2007 model year was announced on 9 October, 2006. Key features include an all-new inline four-cylinder engine; going back to a more conventional 4-valve per cylinder rather than Yamaha's trade mark 5-valve genesis layout. Other new features are the Yamaha Chip Control Intake (YCC-I) electronic variable-length intake funnel system, Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) fly-by-wire throttle system, slipper-type clutch, all-new aluminum Deltabox frame and swingarm, six-piston radial-mount front brake calipers with 310 mm discs, a wider radiator, and M1 styling on the new large ram-air ports in the front fairing. 2008 brought BNG and the ability to buy limited edition Fiat plastics.

Airbus Beluga - Super Transporter

The Airbus A300-600ST (Super Transporter) or Beluga is a version of the standard A300-600 wide-body airliner modified to carry aircraft parts and over-sized or awkward cargo. It was officially called the Super Transporter at first, but the name Beluga became popular and has now been officially adopted.

HayaBusa 1300

Hayabusa 1300 Features

• 1340cm3 in-line 4-cylinder fuel-injected liquid-cooled DOHC engine built to deliver a broad wave of torque for effortless acceleration while reducing emissions.
  
• Hard, smooth chrome-nitride Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating on the upper compression and oil control piston rings reduces friction while improving cylinder sealing.
  
• Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder plating improves heat transfer, durability and ring seal.
  
• U-shaped cutouts in the cylinder-bore sides allow air below descending pistons to escape to adjacent cylinders to reduce internal pumping pressure and mechanical power losses.
  
• Lightweight titanium valves allow use of lighter valve springs and higher lift while maintaining accurate valve control. Iridium spark plugs produce more complete combustion.
  
• Curved radiator with a compact, dense-core design and engine-management-computer-controlled two ring-type electric fans mounted on the rear of the radiator, increasing the control accuracy and keeping engine temperature stable.
  
• Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) serves as back-torque-limiting system for smoother downshifts and also contributes to a lighter clutch pull.
  
• Optimized 6-speed transmission; oil spray to the 4th, 5th and 6th gears reduce wear and mechanical noise during highway cruising.
  
• Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection results in improved power delivery, a more linear response, better mileage and less emissions. This system uses engine-computer-operated secondary valves to maintain optimum intake-air velocity for maximum combustion efficiency.
  
• Two 12-hole fine-spray injectors on each throttle body improve fuel atomization for better combustion efficiency and while reducing fuel consumption.
  
• Idle Speed Control (ISC) system improves cold starting and helps maintain stable engine idle under various conditions.
  
• Suzuki Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection (PAIR) system ignites unburned hydrocarbons and reduces carbon monoxide emissions.
  
• Large-volume catalyzer further reduces hydrocarbon, carbon-monoxide and nitrogen oxide emissions to help meet tough Euro 3 and TIER 2 emissions regulations standards.
  
• Dual large-volume triangulated and tapered mufflers, shaped for increased banking angle and cornering clearance, enhance power and reduce noise.
  
• Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) enables the rider to choose from three different engine power characteristics according to personal tastes and riding conditions. It offers enjoyment of top performance in a wide range of riding situations.
  
• Advanced, wind-tunnel-refined aerodynamics offering superb wind protection both for normal and completely tucked-in seating positions.
  
• Twin-spar aluminum-alloy frame built with castings and extrusions. The torsional rigidity of the aluminum-alloy rectangular-cross-section swingarm is increased by 10 percents.
  
• Rear subframe made of rectangular steel tubing for increased weight carrying capacity.
  
• Inverted cartridge front forks featuring Diamond-Like Coating (DLC) surface treatment to reduce stiction and improve reaction to small surface irregularities.
  
• The front forks and the single rear shock absorber both have fully adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound damping.
  
• 3-spoke cast-aluminum-alloy wheels shod with 120/70ZR17M/C (58W) front and 190/50ZR17M/C (73W) rear radial tires.
  
• 310mm (12.2-inch) dual-floating-disc front brakes with efficient, race-proven aluminum-piston, radial-mount brake calipers, and 260mm (10.2-inch) single-disc rear brake with single-piston brake caliper.
  
• Quality detail finishes - passenger footpeg brackets, muffler hangers, footpeg/control brackets - evoking the fine art of feudal Japanese armor, Yoroi-Kabuto.
  
• Standard-equipment steering damper.
  
• Integrated front turn signals form the outer edges of the ram-air-intake scoop.
  
• Vertically stacked headlight featuring a projector high beam and a halogen-bulb multi-reflector low beam.
  
• Unique tailsection featuring streamlined bulges carrying integrated rear turn signals and shaped with jet-engine motif.
  
• Bright, durable LED taillight, with clear inner lens and red outer lens.
  
• Four analog gauges including step-motor-driven tachometer and speedometer. Round LCD panel includes clock, gear position indicator, S-DMS map indicator, odometer and dual trip meters. Engine-rpm indicator, programmable to blink or stay on between 4,000 and 11,500 rpm.
  
• Silver metallic trim around the analog gauges and LCD panel evoking American GT muscle-car image.
