Porsche 918 RSR Hybrid - Drivetrain Technology
Hi, Everyone!Hartmut Kristen of Porsche shares details about the Porsche 918 RSR Hybrid in this video. Porsche unveiled the RSR racing variant of their 918 Spyder at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). The RSR is powered by a 563- horsepower gasoline V8-engine driving the rear wheels, with dual electric motors driving the front, instead of being a plug-in hybrid. Power to the electric motors is provided by a fly-wheel accumulator Kinectic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) that sits beside the driver in the passenger area, and boosts the total power to 767-horsepower for up to eight seconds when fully charged!

Wow! This a powerful and beautiful automobile! Isn't that what we expect of a Porsche? I like the overall appearance of the car, a lot. However, a creamy pearl color is what I'd choose for the exterior of my own. I appreciate the view of the top of the car and the view of it when it spins on the platform. No matter which angle you view it from, it gorgeous. I think this may be the most exquisite Porsche I've seen, to-date; really outstanding car design!

The Bugatti

Hello, Everyone! In this video Bugatti's Engineering Chief, Wolfgang Schreiber shares details about the Bugatti Veyron. The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a rear mid-engined supercar. It is priced at $2,600,000, which makes it the most expensive modern car in the world . With a top speed of 267.85 mph  (431.07 km/h), the Super Sport version is the fastest, road-legal car in the world! The original version has a top speed of 253.52 mph (408.00 km/h).

The Veyron was designed and developed by the German Volkswagen Group and produced by Bugatti Automobiles SAS at their headquarters at Château St. Jean in Alsace, France. The Veyron's Chief Designer was Hartmut Warkuss, the exterior was designed by Jozef Kabaň of Volkswagen, and a lot of the engineering work was done under the guidance of Wolfgang Schreiber.

More Interesting Bugatti Facts
This Bugatti is named after the French race-driver Pierre Veyron.  He's the one that won the 24-hours Le Mans in 1939, while racing for the original Bugatti company. Also, the Bugatti was named "Car of the Decade" (2000–2009) by the BBC television program 'Top Gear'.

Two targa tops are part of a number of special variants that have been produced for this car. In December 2010, Bugatti began offering prospective buyers the ability to customize exterior and interior colors by using the Veyron 16.4 Configurator application on Bugatti's official website.  With the Configurator set for 'Exterior Colours' you can choose from a large range of colors for: 'Single Tone', 'A/B Split', 'Horizontal Split' and 'Pur Sang'. My favorite color is 'Polar M' for 'Single Tone'. My choice for 'A/B Split' is 'Bronze M' with 'Light Gold M'. For 'PurSang', I like the same combination of 'Bronze M' and 'Light Gold M', as well as 'Light Gold M' with 'Chocolate M'.  With the Configurator set for 'Interior Colours' there are four categories to choose from, 'Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3', and 'Option 4':

• With 'Option 1' there's one row of many colors to choose from; the interior will be one color that you select. 
• With 'Option 2' there are two rows of numerous colors to choose from; the steering wheel and dashboard will be one color and the door panels another color (your choice). 
• With 'Option 3' there are two rows of numerous colors to choose from; the Bugatti's steering wheel and dashboard will be one color, and the door panels and back seats will change to the other color you choose.
• With 'Option 4' there are two rows of several colors to choose from; you can watch the Bugatti in the Configurator to see what changes colors.

After trying the Veyron 16.4 Configurator out with several color combinations, I can tell you it has become another one of my favorite applications.  It is a very nice tool for customizing the color(s) of your future Bugatti.  If you've already tried it out, you know how nice it is.  If you haven't tried it, you should go on over to the Configurator and select the colors of your Bugatti!  I imagine you will really like using it.  Also, while there, you can check out the ingenious innovations and technology of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport and Super Sport.
