The 2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast is an example of what happens when an automaker commits to crafting a vehicle that offers the best performance money can buy. With almost 800 horses under the hood, this coupe provides brutish power, facilitating a zero-to-60-mph sprint that clocks in at less than three seconds. Fuel economy is poor, and the 812 Superfast's $330,000-plus price makes it accessible only to the very privileged few. Still, if you have deep pockets and a thirst for spectacular handling, this skilled Ferrari won't disappoint.
Ferrari's 812 Superfast gets its muscle from a 6.5-liter V-12 powerplant, and this engine delivers a bracing 788 horsepower and 529 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. The 812 Superfast holds a place among the quickest of the quick. In our track tests, it sprinted from zero to 60 mph in a scant 2.8 seconds. That's a dazzling performance, but it trails that of the McLaren 720S. That car made the run in just 2.7 seconds. Handling is nimble, especially when you consider this Ferrari's relatively hefty curb weight. The engine note is mellifluous, and the car's brakes are potent enough to bring this beast to a quick and decisive standstill.
Thanks to Car And Driver for the above.

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.
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 !
A bit late since he uploaded it, but stylish picture taken by Torque_gtb. Awesome work on this picture Torque! Yet another picture founded by torque, can't seem to get enough of them!

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.

Tracts of desert land are sold cheaply in 5- or 10-acre allotments. People dreaming of creating a life far from the modern world tend to build cheap/quick boxes on them - a tiny square on a larger square in a desolate landscape, just the way they dreamed it. But desert life is hard, and it seldom works out. Driving through Twentynine Palms and Wonder Valley, I spotted more abandoned homesteader shacks than occupied ones, and pulled over to record the ones I could (almost getting stuck in the sand at one point - thanks for your torque, reverse gear).

Special:
- With Carozzeria Pininfarina S.p.A.’s help the large body of the 403 Berline was created, presented on April 20, 1955 at the Palais de Chaillot (Trocadéro Palace) in Paris.
- Remarkable for that time was the thermostatically controlled fan, which stopped when the engine temperature came below 75 degrees and started as soon as the temperature rose to above 84 degrees.
- Another novelty was a heating system for the carburetor, responsive to switching on the heater in the car.
- The Peugeot 403 was the first French car with a diesel engine in mass production.
- The 403 Series was available as this 4-door Berline, as 403 B7 (Sept) Berline or "Berline Luxe" (1960-1966: 1290cc TM5 engine, 47bhp, 172,513 units built), as 2-door Cabriolet (1957-1961: 2,043 units built), as 5-door Familiale (1956-1962: 34,928 units built), as 3-door Fourgonnette Tôlée (1956-1962: 6,892 units built), as 3-door Commerciale (1956-1962: 112,601 units built), as 3-door Plateau-Cabine (1956-1961: 27,066 units built), as 2-door 403 U B8 Camionnettes Bâchée (1956-1962: 155,709 units built) and as Ambulance (826 units built).
- A total of 1,196,958 cars were assembled in France (Sochaux), Australia, Argentina and in New Zealand.
Flight safety is enhanced through the use of torque paint (aka, torque seal, torque stripe, indicator paint, tamper paint, ...) which is a quick drying brittle paint applied to certain critical parts such as push-rods or propeller bolts.
After the part is properly tightened, the mechanic applies a dab of paint indicating the step is completed. At each pre-flight the connections are checked. Any movement or loosening will cause the paint to crack and flake off indicating there is a mechanical problem impacting safety.

For the Macro Monday theme of measurement I have chosen a torque wrench with a 3mm and 5mm socket - this is a wrench for by bikes both road and mountain bike as on a carbon frame it is important you measure the force you apply when tightening bolts or fixings.

Station Wagon the badge indicates. IMHO, this proves the notion that Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is but a "marketing spin" term for a station wagon. It doesn't matter if a station wagon or SUV is based on a car or truck platform. It is spin, spin, spin.
