Honda S2000 (S2K)

I'm BACK with another hectic post. I forgot mentioned about this car when I posted the Supra last week.

In continuation, from the original film 2001 "The Fast & The Furious" with the focus this time on the custom black 2000 Honda S2000.




This roadster was made famous by the Vietnamese gangster named Johnny Tran in the race wars where he races against Jesse's (Dominic's friend and part of the crew) customed 1995 Volkswagen Jetta A3. Check out the video below. Enjoy!

VTEC just kicked in, yo!


TOO SOON JUNIOR!

This S2000 was the first generation of all Honda S2000s. Gen 1 was introduced in 1999 for the 2000 model year and was given the chassis designation of AP1. The car featured a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with power being delivered by a 1,997 cc F20C inline 4-cylinder DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft)-VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) engine producing from 240 hp (179 kW) to 250 PS (184 kW), of torque depending on the target market.

The engine has a six-speed manual transmission and Torsen (contraction of Torque-Sensing) limited slip differential. The S2000 achieved what Honda claimed as the "top level performance in the world" for a 2-liter naturally aspirated engine.

2012 Nissan NV Passenger Van

Hi guys ! Today I would like to re-introduce old car 2012 Nissan Nv Passenger Van. If you are looking for big car for travel or picnic , this car will help you alot .


For a long time there were only a few dominant players in the full-size passenger van scene, built by domestic automakers who traded back and forth over who could convince the greatest number of fleet buyers - and the occasional private citizen - to purchase one of these people-moving behemoths.  Although there have been occasional forays from European brands into the big van scene, it is the 2012 Nissan NV Passenger Van that for the first time throws down for the import crowd by making affordability a crucial part of its overall transportation package.

The 2012 Nissan NV Passenger Van features four rows of seating right out of the box.  This means that in standard configuration, the NV Passenger Van can transport up to 12 passengers.  What makes the NV an interesting option for buyers is that each of these rows is split, and each split seating section can actually be removed from the vehicle.  Nissan claims that there are over 300 different seating configurations that can be used with the NV, a number that certainly seems high but which might have some merit given how versatile the vehicle's passenger compartment is.

The 2012 Nissan NV Passenger Van is offered in a trio of models.  The entry-level S trim provides tinted windows, cloth seats, a CD player, air conditioning, and 17-inch wheels.  Upgrading to the SV edition brings with it nicer exterior trim, parking assistance at the rear, carpeting, a center console, additional speakers for the stereo system, and a power adjustable driver's seat.  The top-tier SL is loaded with heated leather seats, additional parking assistance up front, Bluetooth connectivity, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual automatic climate control.  On the outside the vehicle also gains fog lights, making the SL version of the van easy to spot.

The 2012 Nissan NV Passenger Van's base model can be had with a Power Basic package, which installs keyless entry, power windows and door locks (to replace the hand-cranks and manual units), and cruise control.  The Technology package is intended to improve the feature-set of the van's two higher trim levels, and it includes satellite radio, a rearview camera, a navigation system, and USB input into the vehicle's stereo system.  For those who intend to tow with the NV Passenger Van, Nissan also offers a Tow package in order to enhance its cooling capabilities and simplify wiring up trailer electronics.

Wow! This is extremly good car for travel or transportation ! what do you think ?

2014 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet

Hi guys ! Today I would like to introduce new car "  Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet " from Nissan .



The 2014 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet is one of the few vehicles these days that can make onlookers gapeThe ragtop version of the successful and well-known Nissan Murano not only has two (long doors) to replace the four found on the conventional crossover, it has a fully automatic, folding cloth top that even contains its own glass moonroof--and bundles neatly into a stack behind the rear seat when put down. 

It's only a four-seater, though, and the unusual packaging hurts its practicality. Rear-seat riders have to climb up and into their seats through the long side doors, which otherwise give easy access to the interior (as long as you have enough room to swing them open in tight parking lots). Rear shoulder space is tight, and with the top down, trunk space falls to just 7.6 cubic feet--enough for two roll-aboard bags or a set of golf clubs, barely--protected by a rigid barrier so the self-folding top doesn't crush your luggage.  Raise the top, however, and you can double the trunk space. For safety, pop-up rollover bars are fitted in case of emergecy.


Like regular Muranos, the CrossCabrio is powered by a 265-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 engine paired to NIssan's Xtronic continuously-variable transmission (CVT). All-wheel drive is standard, and the combination of engine, CVT, and four powered wheels give the tall convertible smooth, strong performance. The EPA rates the CrossCabriolet's fuel economy at 19 mpg combined, 17 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.

The Murano CrossCabriolet fits all the luxury features from the top-of-the-line conventional Murano, then adds some additional features on top of those. All CrossCabrios come as standard with heated seats and steering wheel, high-intensity-discharge bi-xenon headlamps, and Bluetooth connectivity as well as a USB port. As you might expect, satellite radio is built into the Bose premium audio system, and given its height and minimal rear visibility, a rearview camera is a welcome piece of standard equipment. A hard-drive navigation system with real-time weather and traffic information is a standalone option, one of very few offered; it includes streaming audio, voice recognition, and a 7-inch touchscreen display. Premium double-stitched leather upholstery is another optional feature. For 2014, two new colors--Gun Metallic and Midnight Garnet--have been added to the previous choices of black and white.

Enjoy with new Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet !

Range Rovers

One word to describe range rovers is that it is sexy. I'm in love with their latest design. For me, i'm more of a looks person than the specs of the car. Here are some images of the 2013 range rover.







The interior design for this is so attractive and the colours match well. 

I guess the only bad thing i have to say about this beautiful car is how small the back window is.

Toyota Prius

Another great car from Toyota! It is "Prius".





The sleek lines and sweeping roof of the Prius are not just for show - they provide efficiency benefits as well!!




From the front bumper to the rear spoiler, every ridge and corner of the Prius optimises airflow over, under and around the car. The car is designed to slip through the air - saving fuel and emissions. The industry measures aerodynamics by a car's drag co-efficient (Cd). The Prius Cd of 0.25 is among the lowest you'll find for any production car!!



Prius is the first car in the world to use a plant-based plastic for some interior trim.




You'll find trims and scuff boards are made from plant-derived plastic, while sound proofing and the driver's side seat cushion are made from a combination of recycled materials.





Toyota Prius is awesome!!:)

Nissan GT-R 2014


"It's not a supercar.It's the supercar " is logo from nissan . Let's check it out how fastest of this guys !

Nissan engineers pioneered a unique hybrid body using high-strength steel, die-cast aluminum, carbon fiber and composite materials. The front shock housing is a single die-cast aluminum structure. A lightweight carbon-composite radiator crossmember helps keep weight off the front wheels.

The Black Edition's rear spoiler is as breathtaking to the eye as it is slippery to the wind. Handmade in a limited monthly production run, the lightweight carbon fiber is also incredibly strong. To make it a feast for the senses, a special coating allows you to feel the weave of the carbon fiber
Furthermore, all those scoops and vents aren’t there to just look cool. They're all doing something. Those ridges on the air dam and vents on the back bumper are managing airflow towards the rear. The vents behind the front fenders are cooling the brakes and creating downforce, and the scoops on the hood and the signature grille are cooling the engine.



Hit the accelerator and you feel more than raw power. The 545-hp twin-turbo V6 has massive strength, but it’s highly refined, even earning a ULEV-II emissions rating. Rather than traditional cast-iron liners, each cylinder features a unique plasma coating with an independent intake system for each bank of cylinders. The powerful twin turbo takes advantage of a Premium Midship (PM) design for balance, where much of the engine sits back in the chassis. Uniquely brilliant, built to perform.
Two clutches, no clutch pedal. The GT-R® 6-speed sequential dual-clutch transmission shifts as quickly as 0.15 seconds when in R-Mode. Inside are separate clutches for the odd and even gears. When in an odd-numbered gear, the adjacent even-numbered gear is "pre-selected," ready to make the shift immediately. Then, to achieve ideal front-to-rear weight distribution, the GT-R® clutches, transmission and transfer case are mounted in the rear of the chassis, creating the world’s first independent rear transaxle for an All-Wheel Drive vehicle

The video will give you overlook how fast of this guys ! Enjoy !!

Nissan Murano

Hi guys, this time i would like to introduce new cars model from Nissan which will give us early look at how the next-generation Nissan Murano crossover may appear when it launches in 2014.




Nissan product strategy and planning general manager Francois Bancon admitted not everyone would be a fan of the Resonance concept’s dramatic styling, but insisted the company was more concerned with pushing boundaries than alienating conservative customers.



At 4841mm long, 1999mm wide, 1730mm tall and riding on a 2875mm wheelbase, the Resonance concept is 50mm longer and 114mm wider than the current second-generation Nissan Murano crossover. The concept also scores whopping 22-inch five-spoke alloy wheels.
The Resonance is powered by a 2.5-litre petrol engine, a lithium-ion battery and an electric motor, with drive transferred to all four wheels via the brand’s next-generation Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). Without giving performance figures, Nissan describes the powertrain as “respectful of the environment without sacrificing driving pleasures”.

The edgy exterior is matched on the inside by a sophisticated combination of premium leather upholstery, natural wood trim, brushed metal and ‘holographic’ displays, which use graphic layers to add visual depth and separate information in order of importance.

The Nissan Resonance concept was created by Nissan Design America in San Diego, California under the watchful eye of the company’s chief creative officer, Shiro Nakamura so what do you think about this car ?
 Enjoys with Nissan !!

Toyota Supra "aka The Classic"


Hi guys, this time i would like to re-introduce a classic from the 2001 film "The Fast and the Furious". Dominic Toretto's "ten-second car" - The 1995 "Orange" Toyota Supra Mk IV.



First off before this movie was released I knew nothing about cars. When this beast came into the scene it made me wanted it so bad back in the days. It's still there on my must have list.

Just look at it with its twin turbocharged Toyota 2JZ-GTE making a whopping 276 hp (206 kW; 280 PS) and 318 lb·ft (431 N·m).


Lastly I wanted you guys to see a famous scene (arguably the best) from the movie where this beast came up against a another beast aka. The Dodge Charger R/T. Enjoy! :D

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700–4 (aka "CHECKMATE")


A new era of supremacy begins...

The landscape of this super car will never be the same. With it luxurious and sleek colors imagine being taken to a whole new level. This bad boy is the chick magnet of all cars.

Without further ado…



This 2 seater for me is a must have as it will smoke any car around these days.

The Aventador LP 700–4 uses the Lamborghini's new 700 PS (510-5 kW; 690 bhp) 6.5 litre 60° V12 engine. It is the first all-new V12 since the 3.5 litre powerplant found in the 350GT.




With a CRAZY a top speed of 350 km/h and acceleration 0-100 km/h in 2.9 s. INSANE!

For this once in a lifetime experience, you might wanna consider its hefty price.

Toyota 86

This car has got to be the worse when it comes to buying it! The waiting list for you to have this beautiful thing is 6 months in Australia!! Unbelievable! I guess its understandable considering how cheap the price is for what it has installed but really!?! 6 months is a long time.
