Lamborghini Motorbike 1000cc

The Lamborghini Motorbike was designed in 1984-85 as a result of a close collaboration between Lamborghini and the French leading-edge racing bike constructor Boxer-Bike. Boxer Bike has been famous since the seventies for their sophisticated racing bikes: hand-built in Toulouse (the French Aircraft and Aerospace Valley) with extensive use of aerospace-technology, ultra lightweight frames theses motorbikes offered the highest performance. In 1986, in search of expansion and diversity, Lamborghini decided that a motorbike would bear their name. Boxer was the only partner capable of building the ambitious, ultra-expensive Lamborghini Design 90, powered by a state-of-the-art, 4-cam, 4 valve per cylinder straight-4 Kawasaki engine. The price was twice as high as the most famous high-end motorbike of the period. This outrageous price factor, in addition to the extremely limited series - Lamborghini announced that 20 to 25 would be built, but only a handful were actually completed - contributed to establish the myth of the Lamborghini bike. Chief Engineer for this bike was Claude Fior, famous for his unique high-tech racing bikes. Fior unfortunately died young a few years ago in aircraft accident. With an estimated 130 HP for 170 kg, and with its radical shapes, this bike was a dream for millions of enthusiasts. Five to possibly six of these exclusive motorbikes were ever built with the complete fiberglass dramatically aerodynamic bodywork, inspired by the world-famous "25th Anniversary" Countach. One is still owned by one of the founders of Boxer-Bikes.

鈥淚t is, and will remain, an important propulsion technology,鈥?said Porsche CEO Oliver Blume. The share of diesel-powered cars in the Porsche fleet currently stands at 12% worldwide. The company has not had a diesel vehicle in its portfolio since February of this year, but it waited until this month to end the manufacturing of diesel vehicles an official policy. The company said it will now focus its efforts and money formerly spent on diesel on electric vehicles. Porsche is set to introduce its first fully-electric car next year, called the Taycan. By 2022, Porsche plans to have invested more than 6 billion euros in electrifying its vehicles. 鈥淥ur aim is to occupy the technical vanguard - we are intensifying our focus on the core of our brand while consistently aligning our company with the mobility of the future,鈥?said Blume. The company also said that like other automakers, it has seen demand for diesel models dropping. On the other hand, interest in hybrid models is increasing.

With the release of the new seventh-generation 3 Series, performance enthusiasts the world over have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new M3. And we鈥檒l have to wait a little longer. But this ought to fill the void in the meantime. It鈥檚 the new M340i, and it鈥檚 the most powerful non-M 3 Series that BMW has ever made. It鈥檚 set to debut at the LA Auto Show later this month, but the Bavarian automaker has spilled the beans ahead of time to give us more than just a faint idea of what to expect. At its heart sits a 3.0-liter straight six with a single twin-scroll turbocharger that helps it kick out 382 hp and 500 Nm of torque. That鈥檚 more power than all but the two most recent iterations of the M3, and more torque than all but the outgoing model. Full performance specs are still to be released, but BMW says the new M340i xDrive will be capable of rocketing from a standstill to 96 km/h in just 4.2 seconds. Top speed remains electronically limited to 249 km/h. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels (or all four in the xDrive version) through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The M340i has also been visually upgraded both inside and out. All this on top of the features that set the latest 3 Series on which it鈥檚 based apart from previous iterations of the benchmark sports sedan. Pricing has yet to be announced, but the new top performance version of the BMW 3 is set to launch next summer.

In the real world, Volvo has a very clear vision with regards to where they want to get. Their current cars are stylish, smart, safe and comfortable, and the ones in the pipeline should build on those attributes while adding improved efficiency and on-board tech. Now, if you want something fast and Swedish and can鈥檛 afford a Koenigsegg, you can always rely on Polestar, Volvo鈥檚 standalone performance electrification brand. Their first model, the Polestar 1, will go into production next year, while Polestar 2 and 3 are said to already be in advanced stages of development. Two, or even a Porsche 918 Spyder, from the Swedes. With that in mind, check out this pretty interesting sketch by Joe Croker showing a hypothetical Volvo hypercar, either all-electric or a plug-in hybrid, with certain styling cues that have been borrowed from the automaker鈥檚 current range of production cars. The overall design is of course unlike anything else Volvo has out there. However, you can see that the render features the brand鈥檚 Thor鈥檚 Hammer headlights, as well as a taillight aesthetic that鈥檚 partially C-shaped, like on their latest saloons.
