 This £17million yacht that comes with its own supercar (but be quick, there are only going to be 6 of them) As far as freebies go, a luxury supercar has got to be near the top of the list. But if you're already forking out £17million for a 122ft state-of-the-art super-yacht, you wouldn't really expect anything less. This ultimate 'buy one, get one free' offer has recently gone on the market attracting attention from billionaires all over the world.  Double the fun: The incredible super-yacht comes with its own supercar which can be stored on board The luxury yacht has a plush Art Deco interior, boasts 4 large double state rooms, a reception area, salon, 52" LED TVs and state-of-the art sound systems in every room - all of which can be personalised. The ship can reach top speeds of 43 knots, with its twin MTU 16V000 engine, and the ability to achieve 55 knots with optional Rolls Royce KaMeWa boosters offering a staggering 14,000hp. The supercar is powered by a 880hp twin turbo V12 engine, has a top speed of 233mph.  The matching supercar rolling off the docked £17million yacht The design can be changed to suit the individual buyer You can park your new car on board in its very own garage, located at the stern of the ship. Kurt Strand, founder of the Swedish company Strand Craft, said they had built the boat and car for the 'very wealthy'. He said: 'We have had a lot of interest from all over the world, specifically the Middle East . It was designed for luxury and people who want the best. 'The custom-made supercar is the best feature, both the boat and the car are very high performance and the boat is very fast. 'It is very unique as we are only making 6, so it's exclusive. It has a very futuristic design and nothing like this has ever been made before. It even has bulletproof windows.'  The gigantic yacht easily dwarfs the waiting supercar on the dock The yacht has room on the deck at the back to soak up the sun, and pose for paparazzi   Crashing through the waves the yacht can hit speeds of up to 43 knots Mr Strand said that they would sell the duo on a first come, first served basis. 'We have already 5 people interested and we will have meetings with them next week, it's a very expensive boat to produce, it will be the most exclusive in the world. I am very proud of it.'

Mansory Maserati GranTurismo (2010)      Mansory has long been known has the specialist for refining luxury automobiles. Now, the company from Brand in Bavaria has added an additional traditional brand to their tuning portfolio. The stylish and sporty conversion of the Maserati GranTurismo is once again proof of the fact that Mansory has excellent know-how when it comes to customising Italian premium sports cars. Besides, the star, Emily, Flying B, leaping race horse, Bugatti oval and Aston wings, Mansory products now also adorn sports cars with Neptune's trident. In the first instance, the eye is drawn to the striking Mansory bodywork modifications: a newly designed front spoiler with discreet spoiler lip gives the front a significantly more sporty appearance, and the carbon fibre radiator grille highlights the famous Maserati trident in the centre of the grille. Additional air inlets and outlets enable the new light-construction bonnet to optimally regulate the temperature in the V8 engine compartment. The GranTurismo seems much closer to the tarmac thanks to the drawn-down deep door-sills. The carbon fibre spoiler lip at the back, the carbon inlay for the integrated exhaust pipes in the rear apron and a diffuser complete the sporty look. All add-on parts are made from carbon fibre and are manufactured by Mansory using autoclave prepreg processing. To ensure extra focus to the sporty add-on parts, Mansory uses progressive sport suspension in the front and rear axles, which lower the vehicle's centre of gravity by around 30 millimetres. Contact to the tarmac is maintained by 255/30 R 20 front tyres and 305/30 R 21 tyres at the back. Mansory is the first manufacturer worldwide to market forged wheels exclusively for Maserati GranTurismo models. On request of the customer, these wheels are sprayed in the colour of the vehicle and decorated with black accents. The Mansory Maserati GranTurismo and GranTurismo S also gain power under the bonnet, thanks to Mansory. A performance-optimised ECU, an air filter with increased air throughput and a sports exhaust system with two double-suction tail pipes enhance the performance of the V8 aggregates by 30 HP each (series: GT 405 HP / GTS 440 HP). At the same time, the torque is increased by around 40 Nm compared to the series models (GT 460 Nm at 4750 / GTS 490 Nm at 4750). The interior features Mansory's own brand of upholstery. The finest materials have been processed in traditional top-quality craftsmanship to add that individual touch to the inside of the Mansory Maserati GranTurismo. The leather used by Mansory for the interior is hard-wearing yet exceptionally soft. The chequered stitch in the ornamental seams on the inside makes for elegance as well as sportiness. Wherever you look: expert handcraft, individual design and top quality. The aluminium pedals and new ergonomically designed sporty steering wheel are additional visual highlights.

Devon GTX (2010)      Vehicle Structure At the structural core, the Devon GTX is built upon a framework that is as advanced as any in the global automotive industry. Overlaying its steel structure is a glove-fit, single-piece molded superstructure made of carbon fiber. Construction of the superstructure requires a complex mold - essentially the size of the vehicle - in which all datum and attachment points are positioned within literally fractions of a millimeter. Once the superstructure is in place, all body panel attachment points are inherently accurate for uncommonly consistent builds. The superstructure - due to the use of carbon fiber - is also extremely lightweight, strong and stiff, ensuring outstanding crash performance, noise / vibration tuning, and incredibly accurate chassis tuning. Devon GTX (2010) Steering Steering feedback to the driver is performance tuned through a premium rack and pinion steering gear. The steering system incorporates outstanding torsional stiffness with less operating friction. The result is steering precision of the highest order, with near-perfect linear response and smooth, predictable transitions. Wheels and Tires For sure-footed, enhanced handling, the Devon GTX is equipped with purpose designed and built Devon Motorworks forged aluminum alloy wheels with center lock configuration. Wheel sizes are 18- by 10-inches in the front; 19- by 13-inches in the rear. Larger wheels are optional and measure 19- by 10-inches in front; 20- by 13-inches in the rear. The lattice structure wheels incorporate a geometric design which not only enable views to the large brakes (static or in motion), but enable weight optimization - a key to reducing un-sprung mass. Powertrain The all-new 2010 Devon GTX blends athletic strength with uncompromising refinement thanks to what is perhaps the most powerful naturally aspirated production car powertrain system in the industry. The Devon GTX is equipped with an 8.4-liter (510 cubic inches) V-10 engine that produces 650 horsepower (484.7 kW) at 6100 rpm. The V-10 engine is mated with a track-proven six-speed manual transmission.The end result is a propulsion system that rivals - and in most cases surpasses - the most powerful offerings in the world. Induction and Exhaust System The air induction box receives combustion air via snorkel tubes from the super coupe's low-mounted center air intake in the front portion of the vehicle. The induction box provides minimal inlet restriction at peak airflow - a key enabler the engine's exceptional power. The dual exhaust system is initiated with lightweight 5-into-1 super-tuned long tube headers leading into 2.5-inch diameter pipes that help enable low back pressure and high flow. The system is made of stainless steel, which leads to chrome, 3.75-inch beveled (concave) tips exiting the rear center portion of the vehicle. Reflecting the sensory craftsmanship that has gone into the Devon GTX, the exhaust note has been specifically tuned to audibly convey the vehicle's capability and overall sophistication. Six-Speed Manual Transmission The transmission on the Devon GTX incorporates a host of applications to ensure effective transfer of the 8.4-liter engine's exceptional power and torque while delivering high-performance, fun-to-drive shifting characteristics. The end result: is short, crisp shift throws; smooth gear synchronization, and overall improved shift feel with little or no vibration. The transmission boasts wider gears for increased torque-handling capability; a six-gear synchronizer system for exceptional shift feel and reduced efforts; double-cone reverse gear synchronizer for eased "R" selection; strengthened housing for minimal "flex" and improved shifting; and a dual mass flywheel with twin-disc clutch.

Zenvo ST1       The Zenvo ST1 is designed to express the excessive power and performance of the car. The design brief from the Zenvo creators to the designers at hermann & brandt design consultancy was to design a supercar that looked like no other supercar. The design had to be aggressive mixing supercar styling with race car elements. The design of the Zenvo ST1 is made from free flowing accelerating lines creating the shape of the wheel arches, the roof line, side line and the lower side air intake. The sharp lines are connected by muscular organic surfacing creating dramatic reflections. Contrasting the general surfacing the design features a race car inspired lower carbon splitter. The front of the Zenvo ST1 is designed around the hexagonal trademark Zenvo grille flanked by the large front air intakes used for brakes and engine cooling. The intakes are raked back to minimize drag and at the same time making the side impression of the car more compact. The theme of the front is repeated in the rear which is designed around the big diffuser necessary for high speed stability. As on the front the center volume is flanked by large air exits extracting hot engine air as well as housing the exhaust and rear lights. The rear spoiler mandatory for a car capable of extreme high speeds is partly integrated in the rear wing. It has a unique aerodynamic design following the raked shape of the rear end. Technical Specifications Max. power: 1104 hp (810 kW) at 6900 rpm Max. torque: 1430Nm at 4500 rpm Top speed: 375 km/h (electronically controlled) Acceleration 0-100 km/h: 3.0 s Dimension Overall length: 4665 mm Overall width, without mirrors: 2041 mm Overall height: 1198 mm Wheelbase: 3055 mm Weight: 1376 kg Headroom front: 1002 mm Legroom front: 1104 mm Shoulderroom front: 1398 mm Cargo volume: 130 l Fuel tank volume: 69 l

Mercedes CLS Class (2012)      The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class created a new vehicle category in 2003 by combining the elegance and expressiveness of a coupé with the comfort and functionality of a sedan. The Mercedes CLS delighted the public, astounded the competition and created a new style icon: for years the CLS has endured as the only four-door coupé in its class, and since October 2004 it has been the car of choice for around 170,000 buyers worldwide. "Customers all over the world benefited from our bold move to launch a completely new vehicle concept onto the market", explains a delighted Dr. Joachim Schmidt, member of the board of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Sales & Marketing. "And with its exciting design, the new edition of the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class also benefits from the fact that we are a whole generation ahead of the competition with our four-door Coupé." Celebrating its world premiere at the Paris motor show (October 2 - 17, 2010), the 2012 CLS-Class builds on the pioneering role of its predecessor with a fresh new interpretation. "The new Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class points the way forward for the future perceptible design idiom of Mercedes-Benz", explains Professor Gorden Wagener, head of design at Mercedes-Benz. "At the same time it takes its inspiration from the great tradition of stylish, refined sportiness which has always been a feature of Mercedes coupés."

How do they build a GTR ?
Having posted a few R35 GT-R features so far I thought it would be interesting to see how the most affordable supercar on the planet is actually put together. It's not often that manufacturers let you wander around their production lines, but Nissan has nothing to hide and gave us an in depth tour of how a car of this caliber comes together.
It all begins at the Yokohama plant, where the mighty VR38DETT is put together. The GT-R's engine couldn't have been assembled in a better place as this is where the RB26 and S20 engines of the two previous generations of GT-Rs were made. Away from the automated production lines where the MR motors are built, destined for use on smaller Nissan and Renault vehicles, is a separate climate and humidity controlled room. This is where a team of takumi or "specialist" skilled workers create the most powerful production car engine Nissan has ever built.
As soon as the prepped VR38 engine block enters the clean room it is placed on a rig and a single technician takes care of building it from start to finish, as he moves around the various areas of the room where different build steps are carried out. It reminded me more of an F1 workshop than a run of the mill car factory, perfectly exemplifying how much Nissan have put into the GT-R project. It takes about 200 minutes to built one engine and at the time of the visit production was set at 27 units per day. With the GT-R now on sale in Europe there is a good chance engine production may have increased to meet demand.
Here is a technician showing us the aluminum intake plenum, a part that has been carefully designed to provide a balanced flow of air to each of the VR38's six cylinders.
Once each engine is produced it is placed on a bench dynamometer where a series of power and torque checks are carried out. At the same time each engine is put through a brake-in cycle which lasts 60 minutes, something that needs to be done to guarantee it will perform as it should straight out of the box. From the Yokohama plant the engines are packaged and sent to one of Nissan's biggest plants up in Tochigi-ken, which is precisely where we headed next!
Like the engine, the Borg and Warner GR6 dual clutch transmission, arrives already built to the Tochigi plant. It is all one piece with the rear differential housing, while on the opposite side you can see where the two propeller shafts will be connected to.
Both the front and rear subframes assemblies are build off the car on special rigs. Here you can see the rear being put together along with the gearbox, suspension arms, hubs and brakes.
Once everything is put together the front and rear suspension is laser-aligned and then lifted from the rig and brought to the production line to be fitted to the car.
The GT-R is assembled on the same production line as other Nissan premium vehicles like the Cima (Infiniti Q45) and the Skyline (Infiniti G37),
After painting this is one of the first steps of the build process. You can see the wiring loom ready to be installed in the bare-metal interior.
Specially molded body protectors are applied to prevent scratches and damage when the cars are being built.
The front pipes of the exhaust system were being fitted here along with the wheel-arch inner liner. Just look at the size of the front brakes!
Engine ancillaries are then addressed, like the radiator overflow tank being fitted here.
Once the R35 is completed it is put on a rolling-road for the first set of tests. The cars are driven up to 120 km/h to check everything is working fine. Once this test is completed...
...the cars are driven onto the brightly lit quality control line where fit and finish, body tolerances and paint quality are meticulously looked at.
The interior, engine bay and trunk areas are also checked over, as well as door and trunk operation.
It is then off the production line and to one side of the factory building where the cars wait for their final tests.

LCD TV  or LED TV  There are a lot of things to get confused about when buying a new TV, but few topics have bewildered consumers as much as the use of LED technology. If I had my say, the phrase LED TV would be banned from future discussions because consumer-grade LED sets are simply a different type of LCD TV. Baffled? Don’t be. Every LCD TV requires a source to illuminate its pixels, and in so called LED TVs, that source is a series of LEDs. In other LCD sets, the source is usually a series of fluorescent tubes. Manufacturers make a big deal out of LED backlighting because LCD sets using the technology are generally more energy efficient. There are other benefits as well, but to understand them we must take a closer look at the implementation of LED backlighting. Currently, LED-backlit LCD TVs use one of two systems. Edge-lit: LEDs are placed along the edges of the LCD panel Full array: Rows of LEDs are placed behind the entirety of the LCD panel Which is Better? Edge-lit or Full Array?Each system has advantages and disadvantages, and the one that’s right for you depends on your needs and desires. Edge-lit sets are typically much thinner and lighter than those that use a full array because the lighting source takes up less space. Full-array sets are thicker and heavier, but they make up for that with local dimming, which means one section of the LED panel can be dimmed while other sections remain bright. That improves blacks and contrast in the resulting picture. In short, sets that use full-array backlighting tend to produce the best picture of all LCD TVs. Those that use edge lighting sacrifice picture quality but are the lightest and thinnest TVs on the market. Is LED Worth It?Before you run out and buy an LCD TV with LED backlighting, you should consider one important factor – price. LED-backlit TVs are great, but they’re still more expensive than their fluorescent-lit peers. If picture quality is extremely important to you, I suggest spending a little more money to enjoy the benefits of full-array LED backlighting. If you’re willing to pay a premium to have the thinnest TV on the block, edge-lit is the way to go. If, on the other hand, you’re a bargain shopper, you will probably be able to satisfy yourself – and your wallet – with a well-made fluorescent-lit set.

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor        The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is 7 inches wider than a base F-150 to make room for the additional suspension components that give Raptor its unparalleled off-road abilities.
