Bentley AERO ACE Sports Car Concept Next-Gen Speed VI

The Bentley Aero Ace Speed VI is the brainchild of auto designer Gabriel Tam and has been inspired by the original Speed 6 driven to victory by the Bentley Boys of the ’20s at Le Mans. The next-generation Speed VI is an overtly sporting vehicle with the raw aggression of a pure blood racer, while retaining the refined elegance of past Bentleys.

The design was inspired to signify the raw aggression of a sporting vehicle, while paying close attention to the aerodynamic properties of each element of the vehicle. The adjustable aerofoil / spoiler feature double wishbone suspension to maximize the efficiency.

Close attention during the designing period to refine the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle has resulted in enhanced efficiency and increased speed. Additionally, a double wishbone suspension has been incorporated within the adjustable spoiler to further better its efficiency.

The twin rear heat exhaust-ducts of this zero-emission concept car are fed by the air intake used to keep electric motors cool. Electric motors are located towards the rear of the vehicle, while the battery cells are located towards the front in an even arrangement to balance the weight. The electric motor cooling system features air intake and incorporates diffusers that help air flow to create down-force.

The wheels are semi enclosed that improves aerodynamics, while the 1+1 seating arrangement offers focused driving experience. Also, the diffusers aid air flow in this vehicle creates the down-force, the battery pack is equally distributed and the vehicle has a 1+1 seating layout for finest weight distribution.

Chevrolet CORVETTE Racing at Sebring 2010

Back in August when General Motors introduced the all-new GT2 class Corvette C6.R, it ran downsized 6.0-liter version of the 7.0-liter V8 from the long-dominant GT1 car. At the launch, Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan told us the 6.0-liter was just an interim engine. With revised GT rules on tap for 2010, GM was already planning a brand-new engine for its race Vette.

Unlike the 6.0/7.0, which is a ground-up race engine that only shares basic architectural dimensions with the production small block, the 2010 C6.R's V8 is a new 5.5-liter unit that will indeed be derived from the production engine found in roadgoing Corvettes. In fact, the 5.5-liter race engine will be built at GM's Performance Build Center alongside ZR1 and Z06 V8s.

Fehan has confirmed that the 5.5 is running on the dyno and will make its race debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March. We don't have any additional details on the new engine yet, although we were told earlier that it is based on the next-generation production small-block, which we expect to see in the Corvette soon

Corvette Racing is preparing for the season-opening round of the 2010 American Le Mans Series, the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, to be held in Sebring, Fla., on March 20. Forty years ago, Sebring set the stage for some highly competitive racing among Cobras, Ferraris, and Corvettes.

Difficult weather and trying mechanical situations added a challenging dimension to an exciting event. In light of recent C5-R successes and the impending start of yet another season of American Le Mans Series competition, a look back at the effort put forth by the privateer Corvette camp lends amazing perspective.

Corvette Racing will compete in the GT (formerly GT2) class against entries representing Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Jaguar, and Ford. Corvette Racing drivers Johnny O'Connell, Jan Magnussen, and Antonio Garcia are testing the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R. Oliver Gavin, Olivier Beretta, and Emmanuel Collard are testing the No. 4 Compuware Corvette C6.R.

Seharusnya yang dibail-out itu mobnas seperti bail-out GM oleh Obama

Seharusnya yang dibail-out itu proyek mobnas seperti yang dilakukan Obama dengan mobnas mereka GM. Proyek ini menyediakan lapangan kerja bagi jutaan orang yang juga industri turunanya. Satu lagi yang perlu di bail-out adalah IPTN dipecah menjadi PT Di dan 5 perusahaan sejenis lainnya. Utang negara dan pajak rakyat dibuat untuk mengganti rugi sebuah bank yang dirampok sendiri oleh pemilik dan para nasabah fiktifnya.

I am Responsible For Century: Yudhoyono

TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said on Thursday (25/2) that responsibility on Bank Century scandal lies heavily on himself as head of the state and announced to make an official speech, after his meeting with chairmen of the upper house.

Upon starting a second meeting in the day with his cabinet members Yudhoyono said “I as the head of state of certainly the most responsible person, I will make my official speech.”

The official address reportedly will be made soon but the president stopped short on disclosing the time.
Yudhoyono said further “I will construct the speech directly before the public.”

The conclusions from each party in the parliamentary inquiry presented on Wednesday (24/2) absolutely no mention of Yudhoyono's name as the official that should be held accountable for the scandal, focusing their attack instead on Vice President Boediono, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, Board of Governors of Bank Indonesia, State Deposit Insurance Company, and other officials including one presidential staff.

But the conclusion was not presented before the inquiry committee went to consult the scandal with chairman of the Golkar Party Aburizal Bakrie.

Yudhoyono also advised Vice President Boediono, who is celebrating his 67th birthday today to be prepared and tough.

Indonesia's made Solid Ceramics Battery (SCB) Lithium

Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) berhasil membuat produk baterai baru yang diklaim kali pertama di dunia.

LIPI telah mengembangkan baterai lithium berbahan keramik padat yang disebut sebagai Solid Ceramics Battery (SCB) Lithium. SCB Lithium ini menggunakan komposit material gelas keramik.

Baterai model baru itu, sebagaimana dikutip dari www.lipi.go.id, disebutkan dapat digunakan pada mobil hibrida. Bambang Prihandoko, peneliti Material dan Komposit Pusat Penelitian Fisika LIPI, menyatakan dengan bahan tersebut sistem fuel tidak lagi memerlukan sistem pendingin.

Pasalnya, baterai lithium dari keramik ini dapat menahan panas hingga 200 derajat Celcius. Selama ini, mobil hibrida sendiri masih menggunakan baterai berbahan polimer padat yang tidak tahan panas. Sehingga masih memerlukan sistem pendingin.

LIPI, lanjut Bambang Prihandoko, telah mengembangkan baterai dari polimer padat berbentuk prototipe. Baterai ini telah dipatenkan oleh LIPI, sehingga sudah bisa diproduksi secara massal.

Namun, sambung dia, baterai lithium buatan LIPI memang belum diujicobakan pada kendaraan listrik fuel cell buatan LIPI yang masih menggunakan lead acid atau aki konvensional.

‘Penemuan ini adalah kali pertama di dunia. Apabila dibandingkan dengan polimer padat, kelebihan SCB Lithium ini mampu menahan panas sampai 200 derajat Celcius, sehingga tidak diperlukan lagi sistem pendingin,’ jelas Bambang Prihandoko di Jakarta, awal bulan ini.Sementara, mobil hibrida saat ini yang berhasil dikembangkan oleh pabrikan di dunia, masih banyak menggunakan Solid Polymer Battery (SPB) Lithium. Dengan begitu, setiap jamnya harus di-charge ulang.Sedangkan SCB Lithium yang dikembangkan oleh LIPI, pengisian fuel cell-nya dapat dilakukan setelah dua jam untuk penggunaan tiap 100 km per jam. SCB memiliki tegangan sebesar 3,3 volt dan 200 miliAmpere, yang dapat diserikan ataupun diparalelkan pemasangannya. Dengan begitu kemampuannya bisa meningkat.

Bambang Prihandoko menambahkan kendaraan listrik produk LIPI, yaitu Marmut LIPI (Marlip), juga akan dimodifikasi menjadi Fuell Cell Vehicle dari SCB Lithium. ‘Saat ini masih dalam taraf pengujian dan prototipe untuk Marlip, yang akan disempurnakan pada tahun 2014.’
