Internet Image of the 2020 Ferrai F8 Spider and I provided the rest.
The F8 Tributo’s drop-top sibling, the F8 Spider, shares the hardtop’s 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 while adding open-air driving flair to the mix. The engine puts out a whiplash-inducing 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel-drive, the F8 Spider can complete the 0-62 mph run in 2.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 211 mph. These figures match the Tributo, with the hardtop only really squeezing out a slim 0.4-second advantage up to 124 mph. As the 488 Spider’s replacement, the F8 Spider is both lighter (by 20 pounds) and more powerful (by 50 hp).
The F8 Spider gets plenty of Ferrari’s performance gear, too. There’s the Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer system, a setup that enhances traction in corners by altering brake pressure at each caliper. A Slide Slip Control system has been tweaked to improve driver control at the limit. To maximize the engine’s performance potential, revs aren’t gradually restricted as the limiter is approached, only cutting off right at the 8,000 rpm redline. The engine is also 39 pounds lighter than the 488 Spider’s unit.
The retractable hardtop increases comfort levels and can be lowered in just 14 seconds. It’s just one component of another Ferrari show-stopper, the mid-engined F8 Spider demanding attention from every angle, even if it isn’t a dramatic departure from the 488 Spider. Official pricing and availability dates are still to be announced but don’t expect to pay much less than $300,000 for this McLaren 720S Spider rival.

BMC had produced the 3 litre MGC in 1967-69 but sales had been unimpressive, that car had received at best a mixed response as its 3 litre BMC C Series engine offered little or no performance benefit over the MGBs standard 1798cc four cylinder engine, and weighed some 209lbs heavier, which in turn resulted in new suspension, which changed the vehicles dynamic. The model was axed in 1969 after not surprisingly disappointing sales figures
The MGB V8 was introduced to address the Cs shortcomings, launched in 1973 the car was powered by the aluminium block 3,528 cc Rover V8 engine, from the Rover P6. Rather than being heavier than the iron blocked four cylinder 1800cc, the V8 with its aluminium cylinder block and heads, weighed some 40lbs less, with a significant increase in power and torque, and did not require any significant chassis changes.
Both chrome and rubber-bumpered GT versions of the V8-powered MGB were produced by the factory with production ending in 1976. The MGB V8 was never offered for sale in the USA, the Rover P6 had been withdrawn in 1971 in favour of the Rover 3500 SD1 which was not offered Stateside until 1980 by then with power sapping emission controls so that during the lifetime of the MGB GT V8 the engine was not being built in a federal version. MG did build seven LHD cars which were sent to the States to achieve certification, but these were brought back and sold in mainland Europe.

A Sauber F1 car approaches the start-finish straight with the Singapore Flyer looming overhead, at the Singapore Grand Prix 2014, Singapore.
The man responsible for introducing the 'cut price' Porsche Speedster to the USA, New York-based importer Max Hoffman had begun his series of entry level Porsches with the 1500 America Roadster, a 'de-trimmed' 356 powered by the 'Normal' (as opposed to 'Super') engine. For 1955, the 1500 America was superseded by the better equipped - though still 'Normal' powered - Continental, that name being chosen to emphasise the cosmopolitan European heritage of this advanced sports car from Zuffenhausen.
According to Road & Track: 'The Normal produced more torque than the Super below 3,000rpm, and in any given gear, from any given speed, could out-accelerate the more powerful car. In deference to its graciousness, German customers called the 1500 Normal die dame - the lady.' The 'Continental' name however, was dropped after little more than a year after objections from Ford, makers of the Lincoln Continental. Hoffman soon gave up applying names to the Porsche he imported, and reverted to using the factory's numerical designations. Today the refined Continentals - built before the introduction of the first revised model, the 356A - are among the rarest and most sought after of early Porsche 356 variants.
This Porsche 356 'Pre-A' Continental Coupé was delivered on 15th July 1955 fitted with engine number '35 286', which it retains. Like all such Continentals, this example was delivered new via the New York importer, Max Hoffman, intended for use in the USA. It came with the following options installed: sealed-beam headlights, odometer in miles, 'Continental' script, and the tasteful colour combination of Jade Green with Beige leatherette interior. The car was first registered in August 1955. In 1970, the Porsche was registered in Pennsylvania where it was owned by Jack B Taylor. Mr Taylor kept the car until very recently (some two years ago) when it moved to the Netherlands.
This car comes with a condition report. Compiled in 2015, the latter states that the engine (matching the chassis) had been totally overhauled recently, that no serious leaks were found, and that the engine and engine bay were clean and in good condition. Seemingly original, the gearbox had been overhauled recently and was in good condition, while the brakes too had been rebuilt recently and were judged very good. Recently overhauled, the chassis was found to be in good original condition. The body had been removed recently for restoration, which was judged to be of the highest standard and quality, and then professionally repainted in the original colour '5405 Jadegrün'. The interior had been totally restored and was in beautiful condition, as it is today.
One of only a tiny handful of its type surviving, this beautiful Continental also comes with a copy of the old US title (1970), sundry restoration photographs and invoices, and a copy of the factory build sheet confirming the aforementioned specification.

16 years in the making, Everspin just unveiled the first spin-torque MRAM, a contender for a new generation of memory chip technology.
Our original investment thesis for novel memory technologies (like Coatue/AMD, Nantero and Everspin) was a sense that Moore’s Law would begin to bifurcate, where technical advances in memory precede logic by several years. In the next few years, radical advances in memory density and performance will be needed to relieve the performance bottleneck in corporate computing.
These new technologies are non-volatile rad-hard memories that should be faster, smaller, cooler, cheaper and more reliable than the SRAM and DRAM kludge.
Background: Memory advances are becoming increasingly important to further advances in computing and computation. The mention of Moore’s Law conjures up images of speedy Intel microprocessors. Logic chips used to be mostly made of logic gates, but today’s microprocessors, network processors, FPGAs, DSPs and other “systems on a chip” are mostly memory. But they are still built in fabs that were optimized for logic, not memory.
The IC market can be broadly segmented into memory and logic chips. The ITRS estimates that 90% of all logic chip area is actually memory. Coupled with the standalone memory business, we are entering an era for complex chips where almost all transistors manufactured are memory, not logic.
Back in 2005 I was truck by the details of Intel’s Montecito processor. They had to add more error-correction-code memory bits (now over 2 bits per byte) to deal with the growing problem of soft errors (alpha particles from radioactive decay and cosmic rays from space flipping a bit as the transistors get very small). According to Intel, of the 1.72 billion transistors on the chip, 1.66 billion are memory and 0.06 billion are logic.
Why the trend to memory-saturated designs? Intel’s primary design enhancement from the prior Itanium processor was to “relieve the memory bottleneck.” For enterprise workloads, Itanium executes 15% of the time and stalls 85% of the time waiting for main memory. When the processor lacks the needed data in the on-chip cache, it has to take a long time penalty to access the off-chip DRAM. Power and cost are also improved to the extent that more can be integrated on chip.
Who should care about this? A large and growing set of industries depends on continued exponential cost declines in computational power and storage density. Moore’s Law drives electronics, communications and computers and has become a primary driver in drug discovery and bioinformatics, medical imaging and diagnostics. Over time, the lab sciences become information sciences, and then the speed of iterative simulations accelerates the pace of progress.
Intel is right: "Compute must evolve"
More on the big picture version of Moore's Law.

Hey everyone, this is my new facebook page. My old one is closed so please like it .. thanks
It started its life as a dispatch bike in WWII, production moved to India - and still going strong. Classic single, lots of torque - a singular "thumper". A friend just completed a month trip on a rented one around India. He is now seriously contemplating getting one for use in Amsterdam, where he lives.Very much "back to basics" experience. Easy to fix, unsophisticated and looks cool too.
The alloy casting of the barrel is maybe not the slickest - and the black part must be a nod to the Norton Combat Commando of the 60's.
In 2008, Ford revealed the new Focus RS in "concept" form at the British International Motor Show. The production car reached customers in 2009.
The Duratec RS engine was upgraded to produce 305 PS (224 kW; 301 hp) at 6500 rpm and 440 N⋅m (325 lb⋅ft) of torque at 2250-4500 rpm. 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration was quoted to be under 6 seconds. The RS uses a modified Volvo-engineered 2,522 cc (2.5 L; 153.9 cu in) inline-five engine found in the Focus ST. A larger BorgWarner K16 turbo now delivers up to 20.3 psi (1.40 bar) of boost. A new air-to-air intercooler has been developed as a complement, while the forged crankshaft, silicon-aluminum pistons, graphite-coated cylinder bores, a compression ratio of 8.5:1 and variable valve timing also up the power output.
The car remains front wheel drive, but to reduce torque steer uses a Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing LSD, and a specially designed MacPherson strut suspension at the front called RevoKnuckle, which provides a lower scrub radius and kingpin offset than traditional designs while avoiding the increased weight and complexity of double wishbone and multi-link suspension setups. Ford UK claim: "It's as close as you'll come to driving a full-spec rally car (Ford Focus RS WRC).
0-100 kilometres per hour (62 mph): 5.9 s
31-62 miles per hour (100 km/h): 5.3 s (in 4th gear)
Top speed: 263 kilometres per hour (163 mph)
Kilometre from a standstill: 25.4 s (the fastest front wheel drive car in this particular exercise - this time was recorded by the Belgian magazine "Le Moniteur Automobile")
At the rear a large venturi tunnel and a dramatic rear spoiler create a purposeful look. Focus RS available in three expressive exterior colours: Ultimate Green, Performance Blue and Frozen White. Focus RS has an exclusive 'Ultimate' Green classic 1970s Ford Le Mans Green of the Ford Escort RS1600 era.
This supercharged Dodge Charger SRT8, prepared by Davenport Motorsports, is just as mean as it looks with supercharger, long tube headers, KW coilovers, Quaife torque-biasing differental, and Forgeline one piece forged monoblock GA1R wheels finished in Satin Black.

Looking towards Cathedral Square October 27, 2013, New Zealand.
Cathedral Square, locally known simply as the Square, is the geographical centre and heart of Christchurch, New Zealand, where the city's Anglican cathedral, ChristChurch Cathedral is located. The square stands at the theoretical crossing of the city's two main orthogonal streets, Colombo Street and Worcester Street, though in practice both have been either blocked off or detoured around the square itself. The Cathedral has been badly damaged in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake.
he square is the city's main meeting place for people taking a break from their work, or just visiting the city, and is a regular site of street performers and speakers of all varieties. Until recent years, the most well-known of these was The Wizard of New Zealand.
Since the year 2000, The Chalice, a large piece of modern sculpture in the form of an inverted cone, has stood in the square subverting the shape of the spire that rises above the cathedral. The Chalice, designed by prominent New Zealand artist Neil Dawson, is made up of forty-two leaf patterns featuring different native plants.

Symboles celtes. (Reconstitution)
"Le torque est un collier connu pour avoir été porté par les Celtes au cours de l'Âge du Fer puis, à titre honorifique, par les soldats romains.
Le mot vient du latin torques, dérivé de torqueo (tordre), en raison de la forme du collier.
Le torque est formé d'une épaisse tige métallique ronde, généralement terminée en boule à ses deux extrémités et plus ou moins travaillée ou ornée. Le corps du collier est généralement en fer mais n'est pas toujours entortillé. Les torques étaient faits à partir de brins de métal entrelacés, généralement en or ou en bronze, moins souvent en argent ou même entièrement en fer."
At the 2016 Geneva International Motor Show Bugatti unveiled the Chiron, the most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car in the world. The Chiron is the latest generation of the ultimate super sports car and is a completely new development. The sports car manufacturer from Molsheim, with its long tradition, has taken the unique features of a modern Bugatti to a new level and developed a high-performance machine that has become significantly better in every respect. With a power output of 1,500 HP, unprecedented for production vehicles, an exceptionally high torque value of 1,600 Nm between 2,000 and 6,000 rpm and a wide variety of technical innovations, the Chiron sets new standards in every respect.
A variation to my original L-motor frame that has been lengthened in order to: 1) accommodate a 16t/24t gear ratio for more pulling power, 2) allow 6 xL wheels with 1 stud spacing, and 3) allow 6 L wheels with 2 stud spacing.
EDIT: 10/2016
The frame itself works well despite the overall length of 11 studs between axles. The major change to this has been the removal of the 16t and 24t gears in favor of the smaller 12t & 20t gears. Please reference my newer photo flic.kr/p/Lq6y8e
