McLaren P1 Production Model And Full Specs Revealed
McLaren has revealed all on the P1 hypercar,
including full details of its staggering 903bhp petrol-electric
powertrain, which allows for 0-124mph in less than seven seconds –
quicker than a Bugatti Veyron Super Sports. The outlandish design has made the transition from concept to
production almost unchanged. There are new brake cooling ducts ahead of
the front wheels, but you won’t spot too many other tweaks. The P1 will be officially unveiled at next week’s Geneva Motor Show,
and uses a twin-turbo 3.8-litre V8 – developed from the one in the 12C –
and an electric motor. Both send power to the rear wheels through a
seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The 3.8-litre engine delivers 727bhp at 7,500rpm and 720Nm of torque from 4,000rpm, while the electric motor produces 176bhp and maximum torque of 260Nm from zero rpm. Performance is staggering, with 0-62mph in under three seconds and
0-186mph in less than 17, which is nine seconds quicker than the McLaren
F1 hypercar of the nineties. Top speed is limited to 217mph. Despite
these awesome figures, the hybrid powertrain allows the P1 to emit less
than 200g/km of CO2 – only slightly more than the Toyota GT 86. An IPAS (Instant Power Assist System) button on the steering wheel
allows for the full 176bhp from the electric motor to be instantly
available, providing an electric boost like the KERS system on a Formula
One car. Another F1-inspired feature is the Drag Reduction System (DRS).
Activated by another button on the steering wheel, it reduces the angle
of the wing to lower drag by 23 per cent. An E-mode is available for the powertrain, which allows the P1 to run
for around six miles on electric power alone. The battery is charged by
the engine, but can also be plugged in for a full recharge in about two
hours. Just 375 P1s will be sold across Europe, and each will cost from
£866,000 – pitching it against the new Ferrari Enzo successor, which is
also set to debut at Geneva. (autoexpress)

Bertone Aston Martin Jet 2+2
Aston Martin recently revealed the Aston Martin Rapide S which will show at the Geneva Motor Show 2013. New reports from Autocar reveal that an Aston Martin Rapide Shooting Brake will be shown at the same show alongside the Rapide S. The one-off Rapide Shooting Brake was created by Italian design and
coachbuilding firm Bertone, hence the name Bertone Jet 2+2. It has been
designed to celebrate Aston Martin’s 100th anniversary, as well as the
60th anniversary of the collaboration between Aston Martin and Bertone.
The car utilizes the same powerhouse as the base Aston Martin Rapide, a
5.9-litre V12 with 470bhp as opposed to the more powerful 550bhp in the
Rapide S. Bertone says the C-pillars are bent forwards and connected to the
tall, muscular wheel arches to create a perception of movement even when
the car is stationary. A sharply raked tailgate and pronounced rear end
with a full-length LED light strip run through to help complete the
transformation from saloon to shooting brake. The interior is finished in a special wood, aluminum and two-tone
leather trim. The 2+2 cabin has four individual seats. The two rear
seats fold flat and can be covered by a sliding cover to create a
sizable luggage space, access to which is aided by a wide loading area
when the tailgate is lifted. (gtspirit)

New Trailer For Wesley Snipes' "Gallowwalkers"
Vision Music Incorporated has released their European Film Market sales trailer for the upcoming Gallowwalkers, starring Wesley Snipes. Although this movie was finalized roughly six years ago, Snipes landed
himself in a fair amount of tax-related legal trouble and associated
jail time. Now, it seems as if this will finally be the year when Gallowwalkers (and Snipes himself) will be released. Gallowwalkers
is the story of a mysterious gunman, Aman (Snipes), the son of a nun,
who breaks her covenant with God to ensure his survival. Her break with
God curses her son to be hunted by all those who die by his hand - When
he takes revenge on a gang that murdered his love, the gang rises as a
cursed crew of undead warriors and hunt him mercilessly, seeking their
'dying' revenge. Directed and written by Andrew Goth and Joanne Ray, Gallowwalkers
is executive produced and produced by Jack Bowyer and produced by
Courtney Lauren Penn, and Brandon Burrows of Boundless Pictures.
2014 Volkswagen XL1
Volkswagen has
revealed the production version of the XL1 diesel-electric hybrid; a
car that Volksagen claims can travel just over 62 miles on one litre of
diesel – or £1.45-worth at the current average price. The lightweight two-seater has previously been revealed in concept
form, claiming similarly staggering figures but now Volkswagen has
confirmed the final production numbers to be fuel economy of 314mpg and
CO2 emissions of 21g/km. It’s impressive efficiency is down to its low kerbweight, aerodynamic
design and frugal powertrain. The XL1 weighs 795kg because it has a
body made mostly of light carbon fibre-reinforced plastic and an
ultra-thin glass windscreen. The body itself weighs just 230kgs. Lightweight by no means flimsy, though, with the carbon
fibre-reinforced plastic providing a high-strength survival space in the
case of a crash. Front and rear aluminium structures are present to
absorb most of the crash energy and the gullwing doors are fitted with
explosive bolts so drivers can get out if the car flips upside down. The XL1 is powered by an 800cc two-cylinder diesel engine with 47bhp
and a 27bhp electric motor, delivering power to the rear wheels through a
seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. In electric-only mode the XL1 can
travel around 30 miles on a single charge. When driven in diesel-only
mode at normal motorway speeds VW claims it can average around
130-140mpg – or about 250 miles on one 10-litre tank full. With a long, low and narrow design the XL1 claims a drag coefficient
of just 0.189. That’s better than the Prius, which claims 0.25Cd. It’s
achieved through having skinny tyres and e-mirrors mounted in the doors
rather than traditional wing mirrors. These project virtual images on to
screens in the cabin, so the driver can see behind them. Inside the cabin, the driver and passenger sit next to each other,
with one seat mounted slightly behind the other. The dash is simply
laid-out and borrows from other models in the Volkswagen line-up. There
is a 120-litre boot at the back, too. Production of the 2014 Volkswagen XL1 is scheduled to commence later
this year at the automaker’s plant in Osnabrück, Germany. Only around 50
examples will be built for the initial run, with Volkswagen planning to
lift this figure should demand be sufficient. (autoexpress)

Sony Unveils PlayStation 4
Sony unveiled its next-generation gaming system, the PlayStation 4, at a New York event Wednesday evening. While Sony hasn't

up a good look at the new features and titles to launch with the PS4.
New to the PS4 is a brand new Dual Shock 4 controller with Move-like
capability and features a built-in touchpad, enhanced rumble, and a

social network. And of course, the new console is also all about
connectivity and the cloud, from remote play to your PS Vita to instant
boot times that let you get right into the game as soon as you start
downloading. For the spec nerds the PS4 will boast an eight-core AMD CPU
with a next-gen 1.84 teraflop RADEON GPU, 8GBs of GDDR5 RAM, Blu-Ray
and on-board storage. Look for the PS4 to launch later this year. (sony)

3D Printing Pen Turns Doodles Into Objects
Toy company WobbleWorks has launched a Kickstarter campaign to introduce
a new technology, 3Doodler, which allows one to squiggle 3D images in
the air. The 3Doodler, the world's first 3D pen uses ABS plastic, the same
material used by the 3D printers. It allows users to doodle off a page.
Users can take the scribbles to the air and continue drawing in the air.
That is the most outstanding aspect of the new 3D pen campaign launched
by the Boston-based duo Peter Dilworth and Maxwell Bogue. "Everyone knows how to use a pen, so we designed a 3D printing pen" the company
said. "If you can scribble, trace or wave a finger in the air you can
use a 3Doodler. "As you draw, plastic comes out of the pen, is cooled by an integrated fan, and solidifies right in front of you," it added. The pen is currently in production and is likely to start shipment
this September. The first archetype will be out in the latter part of
this month. According to the makers, the pen is easy to use and can be
used by plugging into a power socket. "We wanted to design a 3D printing device that could be used within
minutes, without needing any technical knowledge, software or computers.
We also wanted it to be affordable as well as fun, so that anyone could
3Doodle," said Peter Dilworth, Co-Founder & CEO, WobbleWorks as
quoted by Forbes. (ibtimes)

design which combines retro-futuristic aesthetics and horological
complexity courtesy the trapeze-shaped model having black PVD-coated
titanium case. Complimentary to the name, the faceted surface echo,
black rotating disc having red indicator transferred on sapphire crystal
