ESSENCE: AN OVERVIEW
• A front-engined, two-seat, 600PS luxury coupe concept, 4.7m long
• First motor show preview of Infiniti's petrol/electric hybrid drivetrain
• Capable of vast speeds where conditions allow, zero emissions where they don't
• Rear-wheel drive for maximum driver involvement
• Fresh design language to influence future production models
• Previews new safety technology including Back-up Collision Prevention
• Minimalist and intensely driver-focused interior
• "New luxury" meets traditional Japanese craftsmanship
• Bespoke Louis Vuitton fitted luggage to maximise trans-continental capability
ESSENCE: THE CONCEPT
"An Essence owner is characterized by his or her fearless self confidence; he or she is an intellectual hero rather than just a successful money maker."
Francois Bancon, General Manager Advanced Product Planning
Essence began life not in the design studio but in Infiniti's product planning department. Francois Bancon, General Manager Advanced Product Planning, and his team might not, at the start of the project, have known how Essence would look, but they did know what it had to be, why it had to exist – and who it would appeal to.
"Essence is a brand icon," Francois Bancon said. "It is driven more by a conceptual approach than by any design execution. It is not just an object. It isn't a teaser for a new model. It is solely dedicated to Infiniti brand promotion, to demonstrate and advocate the Infiniti unique values."
The concept called for a very clear understanding of who the super-luxury coupe's potential customers would be. Painstakingly, Bancon and his team of advanced product planners built up a picture of a typical Essence owner. It was a profile that showed an uncompromising, risk-taking 42-year-old passionate about the best things in life, but equally passionate about not flaunting them. "These consumers don't need to demonstrate to others," said Bancon. "They are already at the next step of achievement that leads to rewarding themselves first."
Francois Bancon went on: "We wanted a new way of mixing various ingredients to get a car that was reserved but with a big presence, something trendy but also indicating the next trend. We wanted a car that aspired to become a cult. It had to be exclusive, smart and mysterious. For the driver, it had to sum up the six-word essence of Essence:

MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE, also known as Y2K Turbine SUPERBIKE, is the world's second wheel driven motorcycle powered by a turbine engine, created by Ted McIntyre of Marine Turbine Technologies Inc.
Powered by a Rolls-Royce Model 250 turboshaft engine, producing 238 kW (320 hp), this motorcycle has a recorded top speed of 227 mph (365 km/h), with a price tag of US$150,000 (US$185,000 in 2004). It is recognized by Guinness World Records as the "Most powerful production motorcycle" and the "Most expensive production motorcycle." Unlike some earlier jet-powered motorcycles, where a massive jet engine provided thrust to push the motorcycle, the turboshaft engine on this model drives the rear wheel via a two-speed gearbox. Riding the motorcycle is said to be somewhat tricky due to the inherent throttle lag in the engine, acceleration when letting off the throttle, and extreme length.
The engines used in the motorcycles are second-hand, having reached the FAA running time limit, after which they have to be rebuilt, regardless of condition. MTT can buy these engines for a much lower price than new engines and use them on surface vehicles without requiring FAA approval. To get around the problem of procuring the kerosene usually used in turbine engines, the engine of the bike has been modified to use diesel fuel.
In addition to the engine, there are other innovations incorporated into this bike, such as radar detector with laser scrambler, rear mounted camera with LCD display, and an optional passenger seat.
Unlike other contemporary motorcycles (such as the Hayabusa), the 2001 and later models of the MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE do not have the 300 km/h speed limiting governors self-imposed by Japanese manufacturers.

Israeli industrial designer Amir Glinik has come up with an incredible Ferrari motorcycle concept using a modified engine from the Ferrari Enzo supercar. Using drive-by-wire technology, the V4 superbike features hand controls adapted from an F-16 fighter jet and buttons based on those found on the steering wheel of Ferrari's Formula 1 racecars. Other controls for the sound system and trip computer are located on an all weather touchscreen.
"Vintage and modern Ferrari projects influence my design," Glinik notes. "It's a mix of what I find to be the best Ferrari lines with the latest technology I could think of in terms of engine, gear and driving management." He has also made a version in bright yellow. As far as how fast it goes and how much the bike would cost, we can only speculate about very big numbers in both cases. We have no idea if Glinik's V4, which he's been working on for the past few years, will ever reach the production stage, but we think he's got a real winner here.

Aftermarket (automotive), the addition of non-factory parts, accessories and upgrades to a motor vehicle.
Once we buy a car brand new from showroom all the parts that the car has are Orginals,
In car language its called STOCK
If we upgrade with car parts that are Non-Standard or not the company orginals and are bit modified are called Aftermarkets.
Some people use the After market stuff to change the looks, some do it for the performance and some for both.
Most commonly used Aftermarket Autoparts are as follows
- Alloy Wheels (like BBS , 5-Zigen)
- Body Kits
- Head lights and Tail lights
- Bonnet Scoops
- Carbon Fibre Bonnets
- Exhaust pipe ( Either Ventilated or just normal)
- Boost Pressure Meters
- Shock absorbers ( to lower the car or increase the hieght)
- Bumper Lights
- Rear Spoilers ( Banshee etc)
- Reverese Sensors
- Turbo Chargers Aftermarket ( with good tune up can give more Killowatts than Stock turbo)
- Turbo Timers
- Super chargers
- BOV Blow Off Valves ( makes a sound when you change a shift)
--
People are more than welcome to share their knowledge and understanding about the car parts

He wrote a popular song which he would sing and it is said that he died singing it:
"Sewa desh di jinddhiye badhi aukhi
gallan karnia dher sukhalliyan ne,
jinha desh sewa 'ch pair paya
ohna lakh museebtan jhalliyan ne."
Serving ones country is very difficult
It is so easy to talk
Anyone who walked on that path
Must endure millions of calamities.
The judgement in respect of 63 arrested Gadharites was pronounced on September 13, 1915, at the Central Jail, Lahore. In this first conspiracy case of 1914/15 AD, 24 Gadarites were sentenced to death. Kartar Singh was one of them.
The court observed that Kartar Singh was the most dangerous of all the rebels. "He is very proud of the crimes committed by him. He does not deserve mercy and should be sentenced to death". Kartar Singh was hanged in the Central Jail of Lahore on November 16, 1915, when he was only 18.

Hi We see many cars like ferraris, Maseratis, Bugattis, Alfas, Jags, Lamborghini and Porsche and other.

For a car to be called a sports car,for me, it should be either rear wheel drive or a four wheel drive with either turbo charged engine or a Supercharged engine. I dont consider VT-I engines produced by Honda's as sports engine they are just basic sedan engines. Have a look at the cars and lets see what you guys like: Toyota Supra Twin Turbo 3 Litre Inline, Rear wheel Drive costs (21000 dollars onwards)  Subaru WRX STI 4 wheel Drive 2-2.5 Litre Turbo (instant) costs(16000 dollars onwards)  Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R Rear wheel drive 2 Litre turbo costs (17000 dollars onwards)  Nissan Skyline GT-R 33 V spec 4 wheel drive 3 litre twin turbo costs ( 20000 dollar onwards)  Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo 3 litre V6 Rear wheel drive costs 12000dollars onwards  Nissan Skyline R33 GTST 3 litre Neo straight 6 engine, Single turbo rear wheel drive costs 17000 dollars onwards ( NOT GTR V SPEC)  Mitsubishi GTO (3000GT) 3 litre V6 Twin turbo 4 wheel drive costs 17000 dollar onwards  Ford Falcon Xr6 Turbo 4 Litre inline 6 Turbo charged Rear wheel Drive goes from 18000 dollar to 85000 dollars  Mazda Rx7 1.2 Litre Twin rotar Twin turbo charged ( 2 cylinder only) Rear Wheel Drive (costs from 20000 dollars onwards)

Who is Bohemia?
Bohemia is a Pakistani-American Punjabi Rapper. Ra or Raja aka Bohemia aka Bohemia The Punjabi Rapper. Bohemia was born as Roger David at October 15th 1979 in Karachi, Pakistan. He is recognized as the king of Punjabi rap and a PIONEER of Desi-Hip-Hop world-wide.
When Raja was only 14 his family immigrated from Pakistan to 'bay area'. While growing up in the rough streets of Oakland, CA, Raja used rapping as an outlet to escape from his thug life style. He took a bold step and became a local musician who played along with artists such as Sunil Khanna (you will find him listed in Sunil's bio) and Manesh Judge. Sunil has referred to 'Ra', as a great musician and a poet; Raja soon started putting his poetry to his music and gave birth to Bohemia, the punjabi rapper.
Through his experiences, come raw raps depicting not just California street life, but a life many South Asians lead in America. His lyrics are in Punjabi, while many of the hooks are in English. Raja looks up to artists such as Jagjit Singh and the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
First Album
Bohemia's first album, Vich Pardesan De (In The Foreign Lands), was released independently in 2002 and was soon among the top ten most requested songs on BBC radio 1 in the UK.
Second Album
His next album, Pesa Nasha Pyar (Money Drugs Love), was released in 2006 under Universal Music Group Pvt. Ltd. India and Ishq Records, UK making it the first ever full-length Desi-Rap album to be released by a major label. Hailing from California USA, Bohemia unloads automatic rounds of street-savvy Punjabi raps interlaced with pounding kicks, chunky bass lines and contagious melodies.
Third Album
This is Bohemia’s second official release in India after the earlier album Pesa Nasha Pyar introduced the sensational Punjabi rapper Bohemia to the nation and it’s his third release worldwide. Da Rap Star comes right after Bohemia’s Bollywood performances with Akshay Kumar, probably the right time to release an album.
Bollywood playback can really get you a lot of recognition across the globe. Da Rap Star has been written and produced entirely by Bohemia himself. This is something I like about the dude. The expectations are at an all time high especially after Pesa Nasha Pyar blew my mind away.

BOHEMIAN: A person who does not follow conventional standards of behavior, expressing themselves in an artistic or literary way.
DESI: A descendant of Southern Asia, primarily India/Pakistan. Careening down a crowded street with no breaks. Blunt in one hand, gun in the other. Radio on full blast. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Bohemia The Punjabi Rapper. Hailing from Oakland, California, Bohemia unloads automatic rounds of street-savvy Punjabi raps interlaced with pounding drum kicks, chunky bass lines and contagious melodies. This new genre of music, known as Desi Rap is not only for those who speak Punjabi, but for those who love rap music. Bohemia's lyrics expose us to the streets from a Desi point of view. His experience as a Desi youth in America is a life divided between the influence of Desi culture, and the influence of urban-American culture. Through his music, Bohemia unifies both cultures. "In this life out here I've encountered many things: murderers, friends, trust, deceit, love, sex, drugs and hip hop ~It can be a lot to swallow, but it's all just a day's work..." Strap on your seat belt and hit the blunt, it's time to enter the world of Bohemia. - added by Kanwar Kang Gal Gal te seena zori
