The teams are on their way to Britain for the next “grand” Grand Prix. The fact that Britain is the home to as many as half of the teams competing in this season’s Formula1 (namely McLaren, Red Bull, Force India, Brawn GP, Williams and Renault) had made the British weekend even more special ever since it started in 1948 and has been regular on the FIA’s Formula 1 calendar from 1987 onwards.
But The Queen’s Land’s capital city; yet remains deprived of a place in the world’s most technically advanced sport.… Read More…

Mercedes Benz Biome – Human Technology Finally One With Nature
The Ultimate Car is Finally here- Mercedes Benz Biome :
Get ready to have your concept of how a car is manufactured flipped upside-down and turned inside-out. Mercedes-Benz is taking “green” technology to a whole new level. No, we’re not talking about hybrids or low fuel emission models, we’re talking about a brand new concept in automotive design. Picture a production process that has plenty in common with agar jelly’s (used to culture organic materials in laboratories) and little in common with what we would normally think of as production-line automotive manufacturing.

And why would he anyone choose to stay inside his car in Switzerland, we hear you ask? The answer comes from Prokop: “When I’m tired or have drunk too much, I want to sleep in the car.”

Only One Aston Martin One-77 Left

put on sale its last One-77 supercar. That’s right; the last pre-built example of the One-77 is up for
sale, which means if you happen to have a spare £1,150,000 (approximately $1,850,000) sitting in
the bank then you may still have a chance of owning it by putting your name down for it.
This information was revealed by Mark J. Tillman, the manager at Aston Martin Tampa Bay, who
spoke recently with the duPont Registry.
This particular car is one of the 5 to 8… Read More…
