Lamborghini designs four door prototype

Lamborghini has made the last weeks very very interested in their new four door prototype the Estoque. It looks just like their Reventon but with four doors, a front engine with less power, and some changes of the chassis. It lies fully in the trend with its long front and short rear deck and two huge very Reventon like air intakes. In the back it has a very nice carbon diffuser and a huge also Reventon like exhaust. They made us even more interested by telling us that we could expect a 560 Hp engine from the Gallardo Lp 560-4 as well as a four wheel drive. It will maybe show up at the Paris motor show. It is said that it will be put on the Market to compete with the Porsche Panamera and the Aston Martin Rapide.

Russia sends more troops to Africa

In the last weeks, Pirate attacks in Africa have grown in an abnormal fashion. Russia sends military troops there to secure tankers with oil and Gas. In this area, there is already an aid ship called Neustrashimy. It helped the crew of ships in many scenarios. But 1 ship is not enough for such a huge area so some more ships need to pack their crew and move there. The Russian government said in September their ships would work alone but the Neustrashimy grouped earlier also with the British ship HMS Cumberland to fight against the Pirates. NATO has already sent many ships (number unknown) to the Horn of Africa.

The world’s new fastest car

The new fastest car is the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, the World’s most powerful car ever produced. The top speed is 256.18mph or 412.28 km/h. This car was Verified by Guinness World Records on October 9, 2007 as the fastest production car. SSC plans a limited run of only 25 cars with a distinctive number plate matching chassis numbers to protect its collector value. The price is non known yet but I think more than 2,000,000 Euro.
