Subaru BRZ

The joint sports car between Subaru and Toyota showed off its 2.0L Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine packing 200-hp and 151 lb-ft of torque with 17-inch wheels look fitting on the sports coupe, while the overall stance of the vehicle is definitely attractive to the eye.









Above is The First Subaru BRZ in Indonesia (according to newspaper & magazines), well for a high performance car, looks like BRZ focus an overall performance rather than power itself. With the ideal of weight distribution (54:46), BRZ is really stable on the road even when face to face with a tight angle.








On the cockpit, the smaller steering wheel is comfortable to hold and seems fitting for the coupe, while the seats were surprisingly more comfortable than we originally anticipated them to be.







Specifications :
Price in Indonesia : IDR 800 Million ( imagine that, almost 3 times than the US Price).

McLaren MP4-12C Spider


British supercar-makers McLaren reveals its second model of MP4-12C series called 12C Spider. The supercar is powered by a 3.8 liter V8 twin turbo engine that will catapult you from 0-62 in just 3.1 seconds, with a top speed of 204mph.









Thanks to the implementation of this compact design, the engineers from McLaren have managed to keep the glass engine cover seen on the coupe version. The roof needs 17 seconds to go up or down and this can be done at speeds of up to 19 mph by the simple push of a button installed on the center console.








There is the inclusion of a rear glass windscreen that doubles as a wind deflector when the top is down. This glass partition can also be lowered when the roof is up which can allow the drivers ears direct access to the sounds of the force feed V8. A final amazing feat in engineering would have to be fact that the MP4-12C Spider only weights 88 pounds more than its fixed roof counterpart.











There's certainly plenty to love about the MP4-12C Spider, but if you like it enough to make it yours, you'll need to lose US$265,750 from your pockets in coming November 2012.

Batmobile : The Tumbler Blueprints and Specification


The Batmobile appears in the Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008) directed by Christopher Nolan. The Vehicle itself looks like a Tank than a car, and without any wings like the previous generations of Batmobile.
This is the first time Batmobile named as "The Tumbler", its equipped with weaponry, and the ability to boost into a rampless jump. The armour on the Tumbler is strong enough to break through concrete barriers without sustaining significant damage.







Specification :
  • Length: 15 feet 2 inches (4.62 m)
  • Width: 9 feet 2 inches (2.79 m)
  • height 4 feet 11 inches (1.50 m)
  • Weight: 2.5 short tons (2.3 t)
  • Acceleration: 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.
  • Engine: 5.7 liter GM V8 engine capable of 500 horsepower (370 kW).
  • Fuel: The "jet engine" on the back of the car was fed by propane tanks.
  • Tires: 4 Interco "Super Swamper TSL" tires standing 44/18.5-16.5 in the rear, and two 94.0/15.0-15 Hoosier Checkerboard dirt tires on the front, with superior grip.









Special Features :
The Batman Begins Batmobile has a pair of autocannons mounted in the nose of the car between the front wheels. In "Attack" mode, the driver's seat moves to the center of the car, and the driver is repositioned to lie face-down with his head in the center section between the front wheels. This serves two main purposes: first, it provides more substantial protection with the driver shielded by multiple layers of armor plating. Second, the low-down, centralized driving position makes extreme precision maneuvers easier to perform, while lying prone reduces the risk of injury a driver faces when making these maneuvers. Other devices included:
  • Rear flaps to assist brakes
  • Dual front autocannons
  • Rocket launcher
  • Landing hook to Sprung landing stabilization
  • Integrated fire-extinguishing system
  • Integrated safety connection to gasoline control
  • Jet engine on back of car for quick boosts/"rampless" jumps
  • Stealth mode, which turns off the car's lights and cuts off the main engine. The vehicle is powered by an electric motor making the car very hard to find in dark places (which makes the mode most useful at night), and as demonstrated by the car chase in Batman Begins, can easily throw off pursuers.
  • Explosive caltrops are deployed from the rear of the vehicle, which can take out any cars that make contact with them. This is used during a car chase in Batman Begins, where Batman uses it to take out numerous police cars pursuing him.
  • Front of car is heavily armored, so the car can ram as a practical offensive attack, and also protects the driver (Batman) while in the prone driving position/"Attack" mode
  • Both front wheels can eject when the vehicle is damaged to form the Batpod, a motorcycle-like vehicle (the rest self-destructs).
