Fedou-Qot Ah'a Ourrye - Four Wheel Battle Chariot
After many years of experimentation, trial and error, and at least one disastrous combat operation, the notorious engineers of the ancient royal chariot works went back to the drawing board. In 1990, they finally returned with a practical, real working military vehicle suited for a variety of important tasks. While retaining an emphasis on speed, the new vehicle boasts increased protection and mobility on uneven terrain. A powerful engine provides adequate torque for towing while propelling the chariot up to 110km/h on roads, and armor plating protects the crew from enemy fire up to 12.7mm in caliber.
Shown here is an air defense chariot armed with four short range surface to air missiles.

The Alfa Romeo Montreal was introduced as a concept car in 1967 at Expo 67, held in Montreal, Canada.
Originally, the concept cars were displayed without any model name, but the public took to calling it ‘Montreal’.
It was a 2+2 coupe using the 1600 cc engine of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti and the chassis of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT, with a body designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone.
One of the two concept cars built for Expo 67 is displayed in the Alfa Romeo Historical Museum in Arese, Italy, while the other is in museum storage.
The first production car, Tipo 10564, was shown at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show and was quite different from the original, using a 2593 cc 90° dry-sump lubricated V8 engine with SPICA (Società Pompe Iniezione Cassani & Affini) fuel injection that produced around 200 hp (147 kW), coupled to a five-speed ZF gearbox and a limited-slip differential. This engine was derived from the 2-litre V8 used in the 33 Stradale and in the Tipo 33 sports prototype racer.
The chassis and running gear of the production Montreal were taken from the Giulia GTV coupé and comprised double wishbone suspension with coil springs and dampers at the front and a live axle with limited slip differential at the rear.
Since the concept car was already unofficially known as ‘Montreal’, Alfa Romeo kept the model name in production.
Stylistically, the most eye catching feature is the car's front end with four headlamps partly covered by unusual "grilles", that retract when the lights are switched on. Another stylistic element is the NACA duct on the bonnet. The duct is actually blocked off since its purpose is not to draw air into the engine, but to optically hide the power bulge. The slats behind the doors contain the cabin vents, but apart from that only serve cosmetic purposes.
Production was split between the Alfa Romeo plant in Arese and Carrozzeria Bertone's plants in Caselle and Grugliasco outside Turin. Alfa Romeo produced the chassis without engine or mechanicals and sent it to Caselle where Bertone fitted the body. After body fitment, the car was sent to Grugliasco to be degreased, partly zinc coated, manually spray painted and have the interior fitted. Finally, the car was returned to Arese to have the engine and mechanicals installed. It is worth noting that because of this production method, there is not necessarily any correspondence between chassis number, engine number and production date.
The Montreal remained generally unchanged until it was discontinued in 1977. By then, production had long ceased already as Alfa were struggling to sell their remaining stock. Total number built was 3925; none of them were sold in Montreal, Quebec since Alfa did not develop a North American version to meet the US/Canadian emission control requirements. A Montreal can be seen in the 1974 movie The Marseille Contract where Michael Caine drives a metallic dark brown example. ( © en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_Montreal )
This tractor company choose to highlight the pulling power of this model. The straight four cylinder engine and the few remnants of red paint marks this model as either a Massey or Farmall brand. www.agriculture.com/machinery/ageless-iron/international-...

Have to break the seal to take the top off the first time (on the left). The torque arrow is inside the bottle on the right. Now a cross view of each side. That should be fun.
This is one of my favourite shots of the day. Check out the tire sidewall on the rear tire! Now THAT is power put to the road.
The announcer made sure we all knew that this car here is putting our over eleven hundred (1100) horsepower from a (I am likely remembering this number wrong) 2.7 litre engine. For comparison, the current-generation stock Dodge Viper produces 600 horsepower from an 8.4 litre V10 engine.
This isn't a fair comparison though. The vehicle depicted here runs on blown alcohol. You don't get that at your local gas station, nor at your local liquor vendor.
The Leadhills & Wanlockhead Railway is Britain's highest adhesion railway, reaching 1498 feet above sea level at Hillend summit, it was originally built in 1900 for the Caledonian Railway Company.
Clyde, Leadhills and Wanlockhead Locomotive No 6 was built by Hunslet Locomotives , Leeds in 1975, as locomotive number HE6347. This Locomotive has a six cylinder water cooled Perkins diesel engine producing sixty horse power to its four wheels via a torque converter and chain drive.
David Radley strains to get every last bit of power from his 500cc solo machine during the 2014 Lincolnshire International Poacher at the 1,000m Thorpe St Peter circuit near Wainfleet. Radley's kevlars are sponsored by former speedway rider Tom Owen's plant hire business. The annual Poacher meeting, now in its 22nd year and one of the biggest in the British grasstrack calendar, is organised by Wainfleet and District Sporting Motorcycle Club.

The BMW 335is is the crown jewel in the newly enhanced BMW 3 Series coupe and convertible lineup. The new model features BMW's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine, tuned for 320 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This is the same engine used in the Z4 sDrive35is, where it's rated at 335 hp.
When asked in a group interview why the same engine is rated at 335 hp in the BMW Z4is, BMW officials had a difficult time relaying a clear explanation. First they claimed it was because the six-speed manual tranny couldn't handle much more torque (the manual is not offered in the Z4is). Then another German BMW representative said it was a marketing decision. Lastly, a U.S. official claimed that it was really about a more restricted intake on the 335is because of packaging. He says that the German misunderstood the question and that the product planner (who came up with the original transmission answer) just didn't know what he was talking about.
The car channels its power through a standard six-speed manual transmission, although an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual will also be offered. The seven-speed tranny also offers launch control, which allows the engine to achieve a 10-second burst of up to 370 lb-ft of torque.
BMW says the 335is coupe will close the 0-60-mph gap in 5 seconds flat when equipped with the optional transmission. The convertible version is two-tenths slower.
Consistent with the general 2011 updates across the entire 3 Series lineup, the 335is also receives new high-depth LED taillights, new xenon adaptive headlights with LED-lighted corona rings, and the new hood, which integrates a freshened BMW kidney grille.
Beyond those updates, the 335is will be further distinguished by BMW M Sport enhancements which include comprehensive M aerodynamic body pieces meant to manage airflow, a larger new airdam to promote cooling, and kidney grille surrounds in high-gloss black. Also new for the 335is is a free-flowing sport exhaust system which has been specially tuned to a satisfying, low rumble.
Additional changes include Shadowline black window trim, wing mirror caps in high-gloss black, and standard 18-inch light-alloy wheels in ferric gray color, with 19-inch light-alloy M wheels as an option. And just to make certain that no one misses the car's exclusivity, 335is badges are mounted on each front fender and the edge of the trunk lid.
M Sport upgrades to the 335is continue inside with an M Sport steering wheel, sport seats, anthracite headliner, M door sills, M driver's footrest, M gearshift knob and high-quality stainless-steel sport pedals. More exclusive 335is badging also adorns the car's sporty interior.
Inside Line says: BMW may not have worked out its public rationale to the lower horsepower figure, but that doesn't make the 335is any less desirable. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor
