2020 Lamborghini Adventador SVJ Coupe
With wild-looking bodywork and dramatic performance, the 2020 Lamborghini Aventador is spectacular in every sense of the word. It's also the last of a dying breed, with hybrid technology expected to enhance future iterations of the V-12 supercar. Still, this wedge-shaped, scissor-doored Lambo blasts into the sunset with neck-snapping acceleration and a maniacal exhaust note.
The 2020 Aventador powertrain hierarchy begins with a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 that develops 730 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque that is transmitted to the wheels via a seven-speed automated-manual transmission. This basic setup is shared among the three distinct variants, but the track-focused SVJ (which stands for Superveloce Jota) has various enhancements that unlock extra horsepower and torque that meet the pavement through all four wheels. We drove this brutally powerful monster—along with its roofless counterpart—and experienced their tremendous acceleration and kidney-crushing cornering forces firsthand. The hefty machines heaved through the corners, but their incredible grip and rear-steering system helped it change direction.

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.

For my video; youtu.be/9jUCFvyuBqM,
Langley Good Times Cruise-in car show, 2017,
Aldergrove, BC., Canada
A special high-performance 340 hp (345 PS; 254 kW) at 5,100 rpm and maximum torque of 430 lb⋅ft (583 N⋅m) at 3,600 rpm version was standard on The Machine, with a single 4-barrel Motorcraft carburetor. This was the most powerful engine AMC would ever offer in a regular production vehicle. The center console-mounted floor-shift automatic transmission cars received a new "wild-west pistol-handle-shaped grip" design.
This is something for you to look at and take a guess as to what it is!
For some people this will be as easy as pie, others might have to phone a friend..... Good luck!
Your correct, wild, imaginative, out of the box and out of this world guesses are being looked forward to. 😁
Post as many guesses as you like!
As usual the answer will be posted in a few days' time. Enjoy!
Edited 2021/04/24 to add the answer.

The 1964 Plymouth Fury had a variety of engine options, including:
225 cu in (3.7 L) RG I6: A slant-six engine with 145 horsepower
Engines ranging from 318 cu in to 426 cu in, with horsepower ranges of 230–425 hp, and a torque of 340–480 lb-ft
318 cu in (5.2 L) LA V8:
383 cu in (6.3 L) B V8: A V8 engine - advertised power: 330 hp
426 cu in (7.0 L) Wedge V8: A V8 engine - advertised power: 365 hp
> 440 cu in (7.2 L) Contrary to one source that stated that a 440 cu in V8 engine was available in the 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury additional resources do not show this to be true. If anyone has additional information on this subject feel free to comment.
426-cid, 425-hp Super Commando Hemi V-8: A race-only engine
426 Super Sport 'Max-Wedge Stage III' V8: An engine for the Sport Fury that provided additional power..........that must be so secret this writer cannot find any specs on it!!
The 413 and 426 “R” engines were designed for racing and had wild cams, special heads, and ram induction. Some buyers found these engines unsuitable for weekday commuting……………( I can imagine! )

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.
what are you?

A graceful gait, an elegant long-limbed stance, or this spontaneous pose under the photographer's gaze - all exude poise and dignity the amid the bustle of a weekly market in Ethiopia's lower Omo Valley.
Omalle, a young married Hamar woman, vogued this pose against a painted wall at the marketplace in Turmi, a small multi-ethnic frontier town in the remote Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region of southwestern Ethiopia. Shot directly under the midday sun near the end of a long dry season regularly exceeding 40°C in the shade.
Elegantly adorned with a traditional cowrie-shell collar, seeded necklaces, copper bracelets, glass-beaded goatskin clothing and iron marital torques. The upper torque with phallic protrusion is wrapped in leather, signifying first-wife status. The torques are worn for life.
The hairstyle consists of long, tightly twisted strands rubbed in a mixture of fresh cow butterfat, ground red ochre and tree resin gathered from the lower Omo River Basin. The ubiquitous chewing stick favoured by peoples of the lower Omo Valley serves as a natural toothbrush and dental floss all in one.
Other editions of this photograph include the Lonely Planet cover photograph for Ethiopia & Djibouti , 6th edition, 2017; and an article on the chewing stick in AfroStyleMag, Issue 7, 2012.

I took over 220 photos today. 😃 Most from the Torque Master's Car show in Sidney. I did manage to drive to different parts of the city this evening too and take some photos. I'll upload a few every night through the week and hopefully I'll post my car show photos this week too. I hope everyone has a great Monday tomorrow.

Special:
- While visiting the VW factory in 1947, Dutch car importer Ben Pon came up wîth the idea for the Bus (drawn on the back of his cigar box ☺) as we know it today.
- Officially launched on November 12, 1949, the Transporter line did not go on sale to the general public until March 1950. The Typ 2 T1a were among the first “forward control” vans in which the driver was placed above the front roadwheels.
- At first the T1a was only produced in the Wolfsburg plant, but from March 8, 1956 in a new plant in Hanover (VW-Werk Hannover).
- Versions created until 1955 were known as the T1a. These versions are often called the 'Barndoor' versions due to their large rear engine cover.
- The T1b were produced from 1955 through 1963. These versions had a smaller engine cover and smaller, 15-inch wheels.
- The T1c was introduced in 1963 and produced until 1967. These versions had a wider rear door.
- German production stopped after the 1967 model year; however, the T1 still was made in in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil until 1975.
- The varieties were huge, from Transporter, Camper, Delivery Van, Kombi, Microbus, Pick-Up, Ambulance, Ladder Truck, Police Vans, Buses etc.
- The T1 was very popular in the USA (Hippie Bus☺): by 1964 it was accounting for over 63% of all import vehicle sales.
