Pedal Powered Ferrari FXX (Fahrradi Farfall FXX)

From the outside, it looks quite majestic. The outline truly resembles, a Ferrari FXX. However, from the rear the slim tyres gives it away almost immediately. Featuring something like 12/45/R17 rims, and has a 0-100km/h sprint that is TBA, the Ferrari FXX pedal power / Fahrradi Farfall FXX cost a whopping 1.2m pounds, which is something like 6 million Malaysian ringgit. You could probably buy yourself 3-4 real Ferrari. Definitely not as economical as kit cars! Check out the Honda NSX converted to a Ferrari F50 ! Will probably cost you about RM200k. Much cheaper!

Proton Saga FL R3 Custom Bodykit

Check out this sweet R3 custom made body kit! Front bumper has its design from a Satria Neo R3 lower bumper. Very good workmanship and well integrated, no signs of Ah Beng (rice) detected. I would have believed it if you told me this came stock from the factory!

Check out the R3 rims! This rims actually remind me of Nissan GTR's rim! The design is almost similar. The offset and stance suits the Proton Saga FL / FLX very well.

One little quirk; the bumper isn't aligned properly at the number plate area, you can see there is a slight curve and gap on the right. Could be an angle problem though. Overall this is a very sporty bumper! Hope they have PU versions for sale soon :).

Google's Driver-less Car

The state of Nevada has given Google the green light for its test driverless car to travel on public roads. The car is a modified Toyota Prius, featuring sophisticated onboard electronics that drives itself in auto-pilot mode. 

The modified Toyota Prius was issued a license bearing an infinity sign  next to the left of number “001” after demonstrating its auto-pilot  capabilities on highways, neighborhood streets and even the hectic “strip” in  Las Vegas.

How it works:
The system combines information gathered from Google Street View with artificial intelligence software that combines input from video cameras inside the car, a LIDAR sensor on top of the vehicle, radar sensors on the front of the vehicle and a position sensor attached to one of the rear wheels that helps locate the car's position on the map.

Interesting Fact:The only crash that has occurred during so far was when it was being driven manually!

Proton Preve CFE Dyno Chart! 159bhp / 232Nm torque

This is the new Proton Preve CFE's dyno chart, as tested by RS Dyno in Puchong. If I remember correctly, their dyno machine converts the on wheel figure to on crank. The figures claimed by Proton is 140bhp and 205 Nm of torque. The dyno tested figure seems to show otherwise. Perhaps this particular unit was extra power?
