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!

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?

App developers receive 'Make in India' message

"Make apps in India," Flipkart co-founder Sachin Bansal has urged developers, lending weight to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' campaign. "It will generate so much value that nothing could match it if we get it right," he said at the first edition of Global Mobile Internet Conference (GMIC) Bangalore. Smartphone growth in India is expected to see a quantum jump, and apps developed for local use could potentially have a deep impact. InMobi co-founder Naveen Tewari underscored the point, saying the country should look at setting up mobile app villages focused on creating a new app economy here. Bansal noted that mobile devices had become affordable and cost of internet had come down. "A Rs 6,000 phone today is better than the iPhone 3. In fact, my driver completed three years and I asked him what gift he wanted. He said he wanted a smartphone," he said. A Flipkart survey estimates that 1 billion smartphones would be sold in India i...

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 ...
