During my visit to copenhagen i spotted a beautiful Tesla roadster. For those of you who are not familiar with the brand it is a small company that manufactures high performance electric cars.
The AC induction motor and single speed gear box create instant torque from 0 rpm. Up to 295 lbs/ft of torque and 288 horsepower are produced as the car smoothly accelerates from 0 to 97 kph in 3.7 seconds.
The first production electric car that doesnt look like an ipod, the future of cars doesnt seem ass dark if more cars like this are made, tho biggest problem for me is the lack of sound.
A rare 1952 Ferrari 340 has sold at auction for a quite astonishing £2.6 million.
Nestled in those classic lines is a 4.1-litre V12 with 280bhp, mated to a five-speed gearbox. A fierce bidding war pushed the price half a million up from its £2 million estimate.
crazy or a good investment?
sorry for the lack of updates lately but i have been incredibly bussy these days, i just got back from copenhagen today. Beautiful city by the way. :)
i have been off for a couple of days, ill try to keep the blog more active from now on, i hope you enjoy the video.

The Alfa Romeo 4C will be the new Alfa Romeo sports car and is intended to revive the glory of the Italian sports brand from the 60s and 70s.
It is said that the Alfa Romeo 4C GTA will be based on the KTM X-Bow, with power coming from either a 1.7 TBi engine producing 265hp or a four-cylinder engine developing 250hp. The frame is made of carbon fiber and designed by Dallara Automobili.
The Alfa’s total weight is expected to be just over 800kg, which means it will have a power-to weight ratio of around 3.2 kg/hp. This in turn means the Alfa Romeo 4C GTA will offer a healthy does of performance and will be quite fun to drive. The power will be pushed to the rear wheels through a manual transmission.
A top speed of about 250km/h and a sprint from zero to 100km/h in five seconds are expected.
The Alfa Romeo 4C GTA price is expected to be around € 42,000.
Aston Martin Virage will be presented on the Geneva motorshow.
Aston calls it a car that splits the DB9 and the DBS. The Virage is meant to get pretty much the V12 performance and cornering of the DBS with the subtler looks and GT ability of the DB9. The chassis is calibrated to be as capable as a DBS's, but more comfortable and easier to push hard.
The V12 has 490bhp
thankfully you can get it in many different colors
Today i will show a more "classy" car compared to the ones in my previous posts.
This is the new Bentley Continental GT
The new Continental GT is even faster than its predecessor. With its power output raised to an immense 575PS (567bhp/423kW) and 700Nm (516lb ft) of torque. In tandem with a new six-speed Quickshift transmission, gear change times are reduced by 50 per cent, it will launch from standstill to 60mph in just 4.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 197mph (318km/h).
