For the designers, Concept Camaro Coupe is a benchmark that could only be described by three words dynamic, strong and memorable. Its design carries influence of the classic Camaros (1967- 1969). With a lean proportion, short deck, long hood and dominant fender shape it offers excellent proficiency. The concept car with V8 engine has a complete fetish look overwhelmed by an angular package.

With a 40 years research behind the product, the performance of the coupe is reflected in its sound and drive. The interiors of the sedan accommodates four-pack auxiliary gauge that lends it a dynamic look. It has the fuel, battery and the temperature gauges placed on the center console. Focusing on the steadfast performance, the car has a bright instrument panel with speedometer and white-faced tachometer embedded in the smoked satin metallic bezels. However, it still blends the past with the contemporary technology highlighted through its analog gauges with some digital readouts. Adding to the glamour, the Camaro has platinum and black seats with firm side boosters.

For those who can afford the Camaro Coupe just an imagination of the car gets you racing.

Not too many people know about the versatile engine for road, race and sports – Alfa Romeo 8C reigning through the 1930s. On deciphering the extended nomenclature 8C, it refers to the Alfa Romeo’s straight 8-cylinder engine. Designed by Vittorio Jano the 8C racing engine was one of the incomparable pieces by Alfa Romeo from 1931 to its desertion in 1939. With further enhancements, the engine powered vehicles like the 1935 3.8 litre Monoposto 8C 35 Type C, the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Mille Miglia Roadster and twin engined 1935 6.3 litre Bimotore.

Earlier in 1931, Jano’s P3 8C engine featured a common crankcase with two-alloy four cylinder blocks, with integrated heads. It had no separate heads neither did it have head gasket to fail. The central gear tower drove the superchargers, ancillaries and overhead camshafts. This led to first model produced in 1931, the 8C 2300. Alfa Romeo now introduced the first single seater racing car, the Monoposto Tipo B P3 for the 1932 Grand Prix season. In 1939, the 6C engined models took over more expensive the 8C engines and the trend continued until WWII.

While the more expensive 8C engine ceased production in 1939, production of 6C engined models continued till after WWII. Improvements continued with Alfa Romeo engines with the racing cars appearing in production models the following years.

Lately, Alfa Romeo renovated the 8C into V8-engined concept car in 2004. This was made into production in 2007 as Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.

Here is a unique innovation by an American, in the world of fuel and energy. An elderly retired T.V. Station owner and broadcast engineer, John Kanzins has enigmatically invented a machine that could actually burn salt water. He claimed that his radio frequency generator could flare up the salt water by releasing the oxygen and hydrogen from it, thereby creating an intense flame that could be used as an effective fuel in running cars and for other purposes.

Kanzins, an innovator at heart, has long been on the quest to find a permanent remedy for the cancer patients. For that, he is in the process of discovering the way the radio waves effectively treat the cancer cells. It is indeed an achievement for him to be in the process of healing the cancer cells. Adding a feather to his cap is his latest discovery of igniting the salt water, that has left the engineers around the globe totally spellbound and wondered.

Tested accordingly by the some of the top scientists in the APV company laboratory, the invention has come out with excellence. Water being the most abundant element on earth, if can be utilized in such a pollution-free process then the days are not too far off when we all shall breathe in fresh air and ride in vehicles running on the much reasonable harmless fuel of salt water.

Despite its immaculate engineering, Vanquish was dragged to criticism for a number of drawbacks in its design. More so, the interior materials were deemed unfit in comparison to the car’s price and prestige. Before the launch of Vanquish S, the critics held that Vanquish was not appropriately differentiated from DB9, a $160,000 Aston Martin with nearly the same power and a bespoke interior, and being far lighter and less expensive than Vanquish. There were others with concerns over the unreliability of the gearbox’s performance while going for high-speed circuit laps and touchy response especially on hills.
