1932 Lincoln KB Boattail Speedster

Hi THE CAR ,Not  form the alternate universe it might be made by the aliens, one of the finest examples of a "OLD CAN BE THE GOLD" .with a price tag of $200,000 and $275,000.(set to cross the block on Thursday evening, October 6, and RM Sotheby’s is anticipating a selling price) 

 Edsel Ford might have commissioned a custom-bodied Lincoln Speedster from Paris, France, carrosserie Hibbard & Darrin, complete with pontoon fenders, a tapered rear deck, and a hood that stretched to the horizon to cover the hot-rodded V-12 beneath it. In this universe, it never happened, yet the car exists, the result of one man’s passion and another man’s flair for design. Next month, this one-of-a-kind 1932 Lincoln Model KB Boattail Speedster heads to auction in Hershey, Pennsylvania, as part of the annual RM Sotheby’s sale.

 that is a can meant  for those who wanted " A class  not mass ". the automotive was made from from Paris, France.

 this beauty has a heart  of  12-cylinder Lincoln KB engine instead of a replacement eight-cylinder KA. Rated at 150 horsepower in original trim, the hopped up 448-cu.in. V-12 sports a quartet of two-barrel Stromberg 81 carburetors, which help to raise output to 175 horsepower.

 Completion of the Lincoln Speedster took three and a half years, and the car debuted in time to show at the 1999 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. 
There, it scored a second-place ribbon in the American Pre-War 1932-1941 class, much to then-owner Bilpuch’s amazement. It was a proud moment for Holls as well, but sadly the designer died in June 2000, just as his Speedster continued its winning ways on the show circuit at Eyes on Design and the Bay Harbor Vintage Car & Boat Festival.

KTM X-Bow R

I t’s three years since bike manufacturer KTM branched out into cars, launching the X-Bow at the 2008 Geneva motor show. More than 500 brave drivers have been found to buy the X-Bow, ensuring the project has survived the recession and brought further evolution. Which brings us to this: the 2011 X-Bow R, an even faster version of the sports car. It’s a similar, pared-back two-seater, only this time the X-Bow R brings an uprated version of the Audi 2.0-litre four-cylinder. It’s the turbocharged TFSI engine, boosted to 296bhp and 295lb ft of torque. That’s more than in the donor Audi S3 and TT-S, which produce no more than 268bhp. Thank a larger turbocharger, reprogrammed Bosch engine management and new fuel injectors. And the engine changes are just scratching the surface of a series of upgrades to build this fastest ever KTM with four wheels. So the KTM X-Bow R is quicker than most Ferraris? Yes. Prod the throttle and the R simply flies towards the horizon. Ther...

ADAS-Advanced driver assistance systems works

As advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) continue to evolve, the integration of different sensors has become increasingly important. Among these sensors, lidar stands out as a key technology for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of ADAS functions. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of fusing lidar in ADAS functions and its applications. What is Lidar and How Does it Work? Lidar is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create high-resolution 3D images of the environment. In ADAS applications, LiDAR sensors are installed on vehicles to sense their surroundings and collect information about the location, speed, and shape of objects in the environment. Benefits of Fusing Lidar in ADAS Functions Improved Object Detection and Recognition Lidar sensors provide accurate and detailed information about the vehicle's surroundings, making objects more reliable and familiar. Unlike cameras or radars, LIDAR can detect objects even i...
