The Making of Lamborghini Aventador

Obama's limo is not invincible after all

This happened during Obama's visit to Dublin on 23rd May 2011. 

I am pretty sure the metal-hit-metal bam scared the heck out of not just the people inside the vehicle but crowd present in the vicinity too. Bytheway, this vehicle is referred to as THE BEAST (find its details here). Below is the picture of a secret service personal CLEANING the vehicle just before the incident. I never knew this is part of their Job Description.

Mercedes Concept A Class

I was rather thrilled to see this Concept model on Merc's website today and felt like sharing it here. Get the taste of its teaser introductory video before having a look at the pictures below.

Check out more details on its very own website and on TopGear.com.

Mercedes SLK 2011 - The New Roadster

I was too anxious to see how it looked like because I've been looking at how their design has changed over the years. My interest in SLK formed when I coincidently won a huge poster of the 2000 SLK model in my college days. Lets take a look at 2000 model first:

Every year, they try their best to evolve the new model to look even better than previous one while preserving the persona of original series. Take a look at 2011 model to see for your self:

The 2011 model will be available in UK from June 2011 for just around 30K pounds. Out of the three SLK series lines, the fastest is SLK-350 with 3.5Liter v6 engine thrusting up to 306bhp. It accelerates from zero to 62 in about 5.6seconds with a top speed of 155mph. More info can be found on TopGear.com and Merc's very own SLK site.
