BMW X9 Concept

Amazing BMW X9 Concept. this cool concept of BMW X9 was made by 18-year old designer from Tunisia, Khalfi Oussama, might surely have thought of a modern vehicle for Batman before giving shape to this vehicle. Unfortunately we don’t have all that technical info of the vehicle or what was the inspiration behind, but checkout the images and you will rhyme with me that this weird vehicle is an ideal safari for the Dark Knight.

Well i wonder about the specification of this BMW X9. is this vehicle could be as fast as Bugatti Veyron?

3D home movies: A new dimension in camcorders

New dimension: Panasonic has launched the world's first 3D camcorder

So far, the 3D revolution has been all about Hollywood blockbusters and major sporting events. Now the cutting-edge technology is coming a little closer to home.

Treasured moments such as a child’s first steps or a university graduation can be captured in 3D with the arrival of the first camcorder capable of filming in more than two dimensions.

Unveiled by Panasonic today, the HDC-SDT750 3D model works using a sophisticated double lens.

Company spokesman Barnaby Sykes said: ‘Just as we have two eyes, so the 3D camcorder has two lenses side by side.

‘The camcorder itself acts like the human brain in converging the two images together to create one picture in 3D.’

The images can be played back on 3D television sets. They are watched through so-called active shutter glasses, which open and close over each eye in an alternating pattern 60 times a second.

This means that each eye sees a slightly different view of the same scene, so the brain is tricked into thinking it is seeing a single image in 3D.

Mr Sykes said: ‘One of the prob-lems with 3D technology so far has been the relative lack of content – the films and TV programmes that ‘Our research indicates that people will want 3D to record important family moments. That offers a huge emotional pull.'

Many of the world’s technology giants have launched 3D TV sets in recent months. Sony also offers a camera to create 3D still images.

A model shows off the world's first 3-D home video camera system at a press preview in Tokyo. The removable 3-D lens system fits on the new full HD TM750 and TM650 video camera models and goes on sale in early August

The camcorder has a slot for memory cards to store the footage and create a 3D library of a family’s most important moments.This can be slotted into a 3D television set for viewing.

Customers can also buy a 3D burner to copy the film footage on to DVDs to be stored and viewed later through a Blu-ray DVD player.

In the future, the lens system could be used to allow people to make 3D video calls over the internet, making this sort of communication much more like real life.

Other functions on the 3D camcorder include face recognition, where the camera seeks out a particular person in a group shot and ensures it is focused on them.

A ‘smile shot’ function means it automatically captures a still image during recording when it detects a smiling face on the subject.

There is also a stabilisation function to smooth out camera shake. And the camcorder can operate as a traditional 2D model if the 3D lens is removed. - www.dailymail.co.uk

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport smashes fastest car record

The production model of the car is able to generate 1,200-hp with a maximum torque of 1,500 Newton metres and a limited top speed of 258mph - to protect the tyres

The land speed world record for a production car has been smashed by a Bugatti sports car.

In a flash of orange and black, the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport achieved an incredible average top speed of 267.8mph - far exceeding the expectations of Bugatti's engineering team.

Bugatti’s chief engineer Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber said: 'We took it that we would reach an average value of 264mph but the conditions today were perfect and allowed even more.'

It was accepted into the Guinness World Book of Records by officials.

The previous top speed for a production car had been 256.1mph which was set by a SSC Ultimate Aero in 2007.

Driven by Pierre-Henri Raphanel, the redesigned Veyron 16.4 Super Sport hit 265.9mph when driven against the wind and 269.8mph with the wind at a racetrack in Ehra-Lessien, Germany.

The production model of the car is able to generate 1,200-hp with a maximum torque of 1,500 Newton metres and a limited top speed of 258mph - to protect the tyres.

The twin-clutch, seven-speed gearbox allows for precision turning and braking and accelerating stability.

Overall control of the car has improved with the raised main-spring travel, stronger stabilisers and new shock absorbers.

The skin is made entirely of carbon-fibre composites to reduce its weight and body modifications include expanded and reshaped front air intakes and a re-shaped rear.

The new all-carbon fibre structure also provides maximum torsion rigidity, crucial when hitting extremely high speeds.

Four enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers have been used to boost the power of the 16-cylinder engine

The first five Super Sports to come off the production line will constitute a special series with the same set-up as the land speed record car.

The Super Sport will begin production this autumn at Molsheim along with the Veyron and the Grand Sport.

The first five cars – known as the World Record Edition – are in a special black exposed carbon and orange finish and have already been sold.

The remaining production models will feature enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers for the 16-cylinder engine. Bugatti has sold 260 Veyron and 35 Grand Sport.- www.dailymail.co.uk

Fancy a ride in my Lambor-teeny?

Owning a Lamborghini supercar is the stuff of dreams for most young men, wherever they live.

And if you happen to be a twentysomething lorry driver from rural China, that dream would seem all the more unattainable.

But that fact only served to spur on 25-year-old Chen Jinmiao.

Realising he would never earn enough money to buy the real thing, Chen decided to build his own.

Chen's replica Lambo even has the Italian marque's distinctive scissor doors... although it doesn't have the speed

A year and the equivalent of £2,000 building later, he had his very own 'Lamborghini'.

And Chen is more than happy with his replica of the famous Italian sports marque - even if its 60 mph top speed is some 150mph behind the real thing.

Chen, of Binzhou in Hunan province, said: 'I downloaded the drawings from the internet, then bought the materials from the market.'

His bright yellow car even has the original's signature scissor doors.

But Chen, who has no formal engineering training, has yet to hear whether he will be allowed to drive his 'baby Lambo' on public roads.

On the road: Chen is waiting to see whether he can get a full licence to drive the car on every road in China

Chen was inspired to build his car after falling in love with cars like this Lamborghini Diablo pictured above
