Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita
The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined sports car built by Koenigsegg Automotive AB. The project began with the aim of making a global car, designed and engineered to comply with global safety and environment regulations, particularly to enter the United States car market. To sell cars in the US many alterations were made to the design of the CCR; the previously used Ford Modular engine was replaced by a Koenigsegg engine designed to run on 91 octane fuel, readily available in the United States, and to meet the Californian emission standards.

The name CCX is an abbreviation for Competition Coupé X, the X commemorating the 10th anniversary (X being the Roman numeral for ten) of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle in 1996.

Zenvo Automotive ST1 at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show

Zenvo or Zenvo Automotive is a Danish sports car company located in Præstø on the Danish island of Zealand. It is managed by Jesper Jensen, who is also the founder of the Jensen car maker, and founded and financed by Troels Vollertsen. The name 'Zenvo' is derived from a combination of their names.
Zenvo Automotive was founded in 2004. The first prototype of what became the Zenvo ST1 was completed in December 2008 and production began in 2009. Only 15 cars were built: they were sold to approved customers. The car was sold in the United States through the California based company Red Sea Distribution; The cost of the U.S. based model was estimated at 1.8 million USD, which included a free watch valued at $50,000.
The Zenvo ST1 was critically panned by the British motoring program Top Gear after a series of unfortunate accidents during filming of a segment for the show, including the car catching fire after a cooling unit failure. Another car from the company eventually finished a complete timed lap of the Top Gear Test Track, which was very wet at the time due to the extreme weather that plagued England at the time, the resulting time was worse than the time a BMW M5 costing nearly a tenth of the price had reached. Zenvo responded to Top Gear with a statement published on the Danish website Pro Street.

Best Dodge Challenger & Top Women

Listen to the women rumble of a twin supercharged, 440 strong Dodge Challenger. A modern and retro design, the twin supercharged setup is taking late pony car performance to the next level. Thanks to a custom built hood to expose the twin pulleys, a powerful whine can be heard constantly. Mechanical symphony emitted by the superchargers breathing openly creates an excellent combination of cooling performance and curb appeal.
Supercharger for each cylinder bank, the friction created during compression will produce ample amounts of heat. With a custom setup such as twin supercharging, it's a good idea to take cooling into consideration.
Heavy modification and talented mechanical skill is what it takes to build a Challenger as well as Remote Desktop Protocol Motorsports. The innovation put into this vehicle in order to get twin superchargers to work is mind boggling! The next level would be to add turbochargers to the equation.
A Nissan GT-R built in Japan featured a twin turbo twin supercharged system that made use of a similar yet more powerful setup. Imagine the GT-R setup on a 440 strong! These high power forced induction builds are quickly spreading trend. What will be the next step for forced induction technology? If this Dodge Challenger and Nissan GT-R are any evidence of what is to come, maybe we can see original equipment manufacturer take part. For now, we will have to build it ourselves!

Best Smart Radiator Maintenance

Best Smart Radiator Maintenance
Taking care of your car radiator is important and its timely maintenance will help you keep the radiator performing well with greater efficiency and effort. Also proper maintenance of car radiator will keep the engine cooler and it avoids the overheating of car’s engine making it run flawlessly. The proper up-keeping will also assist you in eliminating future repair costs required to fix radiator troubles. So below are some smart tips for maintenance of car radiator to follow and carry out.
Best Smart Radiator Maintenance
Firstly make use of appropriate radiator fluid as this is the basic important point for maintaining your car’s radiator. A correct antifreeze coolant is critical so better use glycol based antifreeze and make sure you mix it with appropriate amount of water. If the region you are living in is warmer and hot then equal amount of water is required to be mixed with glycol based antifreeze. Also remember not to use the antifreeze alone for the cooling system.

Secondly, from time to time change the coolant and water mixture in your radiator in order to make your vehicle run smoothly. Overtime the car’s radiator attracts dirt and debris that actually hampers the effort and makes it difficult for the radiator to allow antifreeze coolant and water spread across the cooling system. Therefore draining and flushing comes into action and as per schedule, you need to change the coolant and water mixture present in the radiator. So all you require is to completely drain the

and fill it with new antifreeze and water. Also keep in mind that with time antifreeze becomes acidic and needs to be replaced timely. So, change the antifreeze coolant every year and according to what is recommended in the owner’s manual.
Best Smart Radiator Maintenance
Thirdly, when you are changing the antifreeze coolant of your car's cooling system make sure to replace the radiator cap as well. This is essential because with time even the radiator cap tends to become dry and damaged and due to this it will allow the coolant to escape from your car's cooling system, so better replace it.
Best Smart Radiator Maintenance
Fourthly, check the hoses and fittings of your radiator because overtime after couple of years, they become less moist and lose their elasticity and hence needed to be replaced. Also, due to brittleness the older hoses develop small holes or type of puncture because of the pressure produced in the cooling system and so you need to replace them. Inspecting these small holes in the hoses is a crucial step in maintenance of car radiator because it can lead to engine overheating.
Best Smart Radiator Maintenance
Last but not the least, perform a radiator pressure test whenever you take your vehicle for servicing as the pressure test is the best way to tell you, whether your car's cooling system is functioning properly or not. It will also make you aware if it is cooling your car engine in an adequate manner.
