New Fastest Car in the World.:Koenigsegg Agera R.




What's the fastest car in the world today? The ultra-exclusive Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg is releasing a new model called the Agera R, which will be the new fastest production car in the world setting five Guinness world records. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport still holds the overall top speed record at 268mph and is still the (world's most expensive car), but the Koenigsegg Agera R has triumphed in all other aspects of speed. Most importantly, it beat the Veyron Super Sport in the 0-186mph (0-300km/h) with a time of only 14.53 seconds compared to the Super Sport at 16.7 seconds.

New Fastest Car in the World: Koenigsegg Agera R.

·         0-186 mph = 14.53 sec
·         0-200 mph = 17.68 sec
·         186-0 mph = 6.66 sec
·         200-0 mph = 7.28 sec
·         0-186-0 mph = 21.19 sec
·         0-200-0 mph = 24.96 sec
The new Agera R is also among the world's most expensive cars, with a price tag of $1.7 million. The R model costs $200,000 more than the standard Agera. And when you're dropping that much cash, you might as well spring for the R. The big difference between the standard and the R isn't the jump from 940hp to 1110hp, it's that the standard Agera is a supercar and the Agera R is a "hypercar". A hypercar is a car that is made of ultra-light alloys and an environmentally friendly drive train to achieve it's high performance. This could mean a carbon fiber design with a hybrid engine super car.




In the Agera R's case, this hypercar runs on E85 biofuel instead of regular gasoline in the standard model. The car gets 16 mpg, which is pretty decent for 1110hp car that just broke a world speed record. The Agera R can run on normal 95 octane gas, but you loose 100hp and green bragging rights. The engine itself is a 5.0 liter V8 engine that is twin-turbocharged and weighs just 434 pounds and miraculously manages to meet required global emission standards. This gives the Agera R the unofficial world record of high power to low CO2 emissions and fuel consumption.
You can stow the carbon fiber roof neatly in the trunk in the front.
This green powerhouse of an engine is attached to new 7-speed gearbox to only the rear wheels and features the world's first dual clutch system for a single input shaft gearbox. The unique triple-damper suspension has the front wheels wider than the rear, with the most cutting-edge ABS system, electronic differential and traction control. It also has special Michelin tires, custom designed only for the Agera. Note the turbine-shaped wheels, which actually work as turbines to create more down-force and cool the massive breaks. The monocoque chassis is made completely of carbon fiber, keeping the car ultra-stiff, even with the detachable roof removed. It also has a sweet rear wing on the back that goes up when you drive real fast.
Inside, only the best of the best is used, following a Swedish minimalist aesthetic. Materials used include aircraft-grade aluminum, carbon fiber, precious metals and two types of leather. Even the steering wheel and seats are made of carbon fiber. The dashboard interface is customization, with central high-def touchscreen for audio, navigation, bluetooth and fancy performance meters and data displays.



The Agera has another claim-to-fame with the largest trunk space in the world (for a hypercar). It's big enough to store the removable roof or even a set of golf clubs. The model shown on ice above features the optional winter package with roof box. It includes specially designedMichelin snow tires and a separate roof with the fixed box for your skis. The roof box, made by Swedish company Thule, has been tested up to 186mph (300km/h). So yes, this makes it the fastest roof box in the world!! Perfect for the uber-rich owner to zip from their private Swiss bank to their chalet in the Swiss Alps in record time!

How To Control House With Your Phones

With the current global technological growth, people tend to move into what is termed as “call-smart-wall” where everything can be manipulated from the palm of the hand. The smart gadgets can be used to  automate a home  of an individual to the extent that all the smart appliances are controlled. This can be done from one’s palm using fingers from a safe distance without necessarily being present in the house. All the appliances are structured to operate from a centralized control unit situated upon actuators. The  control system  uses the principle of  12v actuators  to enable easy application of a command from a centralized point, in this case a smart phone.  A good example is the automated gate and security light. A person does not need to come out of the car or hoot for the gate to be opened, but can easily open the gate or switch on the security light by use of a phone. Similarly, the door can be automated in the sense that one does not ...

11 Changers in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare

source:  IGN The trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has dropped and it made one thing very apparent - Sledgehammer Games’ new first-person shooter is going to be a game changer. How so? Well, we collected 11 things from the trailer that have us more excited about Call of Duty than ever before. We still have a lot of questions like “will these be in multiplayer?” and “how will this affect balance?” but there’s no doubt about one thing: we cannot wait to find out. That said, here are 11 things to get excited about in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. 1 The Exo Suit The first thing you see in the trailer is an exo suit and it’s likely going to be a huge part of gameplay, both in terms of combat and mobility. Its basic function gives the player enhanced strength and the ability to jump extreme distances. Will you be able to do melee attacks from afar? Will we be able to re-create the freeway scene from The Matrix? We’re excited to discover the answer. 2 Wall Climbi...

Microsoft Develops a Keyboard with Kinect-Like Gesture Controls

Microsoft Research , the in-house research laboratory founded in 1991, has introduced its newest creation: a mechanical keyboard with imbedded IR sensors that allows for "rich and expressive motion gestures performed both on and directly above the device." "A low-resolution matrix of infrared proximity sensors is interspersed with the keys of a regular mechanical keyboard," Microsoft says of the device on its website. "This results in coarse but high frame-rate motion data. We extend a machine learning algorithm, traditionally used for static classification only, to robustly support dynamic, temporal gestures." What does that all mean? "Our goal is to enable fast, easy, and low-effort gestures allowing users to smoothly transition between text-entry and motion-based so that hands always remain in the home position on the keyboard," stated Microsoft Research in a video showing off their new product. Some of the uses shown include hover gestures to...
