A pedestrian walks among triangular shadows cast inside an elevated bridge crossing. Called "Torque", the bridge was designed by artists Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins and New York-based architect James Khamsi of FIRM a.d. and connects the Delta Hotel to the existing PATH system.
One of the most intriguing cars at the 2018 New York International Auto Show was the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Sebring Orange Convertible. This amazing $121,000 Vette represents a high water mark in Chevy’s iconic sports car history, technologically advanced and full of luxurious creature comforts by far the most overwhelmingly capable in both aspects. Under the hood 2019 Corvette ZR1 supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that puts out 755 horsepower and 715 ft/lbs of torque to its rear tires that can carry the super car from 0-60 in 3 seconds with a top speed 212 mph.
The New York International Auto Show is the oldest auto show in the United Stated held every April at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center in Hell’s Kitchen since it opened.

It's electric, autonomous, opulent and has 1,100 pound-feet of torque. I'll post the entire car and details later, but Steve Corey has a nice image up now.

Power is the name of the game.
In order to create the much needed power you have to have the gigantic wind turbine to twist and torque it's way towards generating energy.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and fabulous year 2022 dear Flickr friends !
Honda's Valkyrie , built from 1997 -2003 this mammoth machine is powered by a 1520 cc flat six , liquid cooled , with a 28 mm carburettor for each cylinder can you believe .. this creates 100 HP at the rear wheel and heaps of torque at 102.3 lb . ft , again at the rear wheel .. sufficient as they say !
She is one big bike .

Ciudad Encantada, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La Ciudad Encantada es un paraje natural español de formaciones rocosas calcáreas o calizas formadas a lo largo de miles de años. Se localiza cerca de Valdecabras, en el término municipal de Cuenca (España), en una amplia zona de pinares de la parte meridional de la serranía conquense y a una altitud de 1500 metros.
Fue declarada Sitio Natural de Interés Nacional el 11 de junio de 1929. La acción del agua, el viento y el hielo ha hecho posible este fenómeno kárstico. La heterogeneidad de las rocas en cuanto a su morfología, composición química y grado de dureza es lo que ha permitido el desgaste desigual de las mismas por los elementos atmosféricos, dando como resultado una muestra sorprendente de arte pintoresco proveniente de la misma naturaleza. A las caprichosas y espectaculares formaciones existentes hay que sumar lapiaces, torcas y sumideros.
Comparte estas características especialmente con "Los Callejones", paraje ubicado en el término municipal de Las Majadas. Ambos lugares forman parte del parque natural Serranía de Cuenca, creado mediante la Ley de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.
The Enchanted City is a Spanish natural area of calcareous or limestone rock formations formed over thousands of years. It is located near Valdecabras, in the municipality of Cuenca (Spain), in a wide area of pine forests in the southern part of the Cuenca mountains and at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
It was declared a Natural Site of National Interest on June 11, 1929. The action of water, wind and ice has made this karstic phenomenon possible. The heterogeneity of the rocks in terms of their morphology, chemical composition and degree of hardness is what has allowed their uneven wear by atmospheric elements, resulting in a surprising sample of picturesque art from nature itself. To the whimsical and spectacular existing formations we must add lapiaces, torques and sinkholes.
It shares these characteristics especially with "Los Callejones", a place located in the municipality of Las Majadas. Both places are part of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park, created by the Law of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.

The inspiration here is 'Torque' by Kristin Hersh. Download, free & legal, in high quality here. Lyrics here. I only discovered her music some three years ago, and now listen to it all the time. Especially since I found out about her latest album.
Just now I found this page with the history of the song. Anyway -- the photo is about this bit here where a human being's very nature is explored and questioned.

Special:
- Alexander Wilson founded the company in Vauxhall, London in 1857. Originally named Alex Wilson and Company, then Vauxhall Iron Works, the company built pumps and marine engines. In 1903, the company built its first car, a five-horsepower model steered using a tiller, with two forward gears and no reverse gear. This led to a better design which was made available for sale.
- To expand its production, the company moved the majority of its production to Luton in 1905. The company continued to trade under the name Vauxhall Iron Works until 1907, when the modern name of Vauxhall Motors was adapted. The company was characterised by its sporting models, but after World War I, designed more austere models.
- In 1925, Vauxhall was bought by GM for US$2.5 million. The influence of the American parent was pervasive and together with the Ford Motor Company, Vauxhall's main competitor, led to a wave of American influenced styling in Europe that persisted through to the 1980s.
- The body with the dog's leg screen and tailfins, is identical with the Velox, but the Cresta was more luxurious. Though a luxury car, it was not seen as an "elite" car despite Queen Elizabeth II owning and using one to tear around Westminster in as her personal transport.
- They were assembled in Luton, Bedfordshire - United Kingdom, in New Zealand and in Australia.
