Of Racing Queen Anne dining table and motorized Sofa

A Queen Anne dining table (set with silver) had been turned into a 130 mph vehicle. Perry Watkins, a British inventor, recently drove the table around a track last weekend to set the record for the world's fastest piece of furniture. Guinness has not yet accepted the record, but he easily eclipsed the 92 mph sofa that previously held the record.

While driving a motorized sofa, designed and built by Edd China (UK) for sofa.com, at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome, Leicestershire, UK, on May 11, 2007 Marek Turowski (UK) achieved a speed of 148 km/h (92 mph). Turowsk's feat had been included in the 2008 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records

the GTV-6

such a pretty car

The Alfetta GT came to the U.S. in 1975 with the 1962-cc engine, but was offered in Europe with a choice of 1.6-, 1.8-, and 2.0-liter engines. The designation became GTV in 1976, then changed to Sprint Veloce in 1978. Later in the same year, the GTV-6, a version of the GTV with the SOHC V6 2.5 L engine from the Alfa6 luxury sedan, was released. As a result the hood received a bulge to clear the top of the intake and became its most pronounced feature. With Bosch fuel injection instead of the six downdraught Dell' Orto carburettors in the early Alfa 6 installation, the V6 was much easier to start and retained its state of tune much better. The V6 received rave reviews from the motoring press, which had previously lambasted the same engine in the Alfa 6 because of the carburettor problems.

Alfa's reputation for building the world's best V6's started in 1979 with the introduction of the Alfetta GTV. It sported a beautiful body styled by Giugiaro, true 4 seat seating capacity and a rear transaxle gearbox that improved front-to-rear weight distribution to 50/50. The DeDion rear suspension made for great handling.

Handling was impressive, but performance was so-so when powered by the 1.8-litre and 2.0-litre twin-cam four-cylinder derived from 1750GTV and 2000 GTVs . The solution was to create an all-new V6, displacing 2492cc, capable of 160 hp and 157 lb. ft (117 kW @ 5600 rpm).

It enabled the new Alfetta GTV, now simply called "GTV6", to top 130 mph and clock 0-60 mph in slightly over 8 seconds. That GTV6 was the outright winner of the1982 and 1983 European Touring Car Championships.

James Bond drove a grey GTV-6 in the 1983 movieOctopussy. A grey GTV6 is featured for a short period in theJames Bond movie Octopussy. Bond steals the parked car while its owner uses a pay phone booth and makes haste towards Octopussy's Circus.

In 1981, this car took on a new image and a new powerplant to become the Alfa Romeo GTV-6. Exterior sheetmetal and appearance remained much as before, but structure, suspension, brakes, transaxle, wheels, and tires were all upgraded to cope with a bigger and more potent engine. It turned out to be a sterling new 60-degree V-6, with a single overhead camshaft on each bank, driven by toothed belt, plus Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection (specified for both the American and European versions).

Inclined valves above hemispherical chambers were retained, but were now actuated by a rather complicated arrangement. The camshafts were directly over the intake valves, but worked the exhaust valves via tappets, transverse pushrods, and rocker arms. Displacement was 2492 cc from a bore of 88 mm and a stroke of 68.3 mm, a far cry from Alfa’s long-stroke engines of old. Rated horsepower was 154 (SAE) at 5500 rpm with 152 lbs-ft torque at 3200 rpm, enough (SAE) at 5500 rpm with 152 lbs-ft torque at 3200 rpm, enough to propel the 2840-pound GTV-6 from 0 to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 125 mph.

What is GT?
The FIA defined the GT car as "an open or closed automobile which has no more than one door on each side and a minimum of two seats situated one on each side of the longitudinal centre line of the car; these two seats must be crossed by the same transversal plane. This car must be able to be used perfectly legally on the open road, and adapted for racing on circuits or closed courses." GT cars are divided, from most powerful to least powerful, into GT1 (formerly GTS and GT) and GT2 (formerly GT and N-GT) in most championships, also GT3 and GT4.

The abbreviation GT, traces its root to the Italian tradition of referring to their luxury performance cars as gran turismo. The GT path had been initiated and led by Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Lancia starting from 1920s.

"Tree Frog"

The new Tree Frog




1925 - Worldwide Premieres

OPEL 4 / 12 CV
OPEL 4/12 bhp - "Tree Frog"
Exhibited at the Show of 1925, the Opel 4/12 bhp "Laubfrosch" (German for tree frog) was first produced in 1924. Its 4-cylinder pressure-lubricated engine could reach speeds of 45 mph. It had an electric starter and a 3-speed gearbox with reverse gear. Opel launched it on to the market at a price of DM 3000.
The age of automobile production began at Opel in 1899 with the legendary "Lutzmann patent motor car". During the subsequent period, the car manufacturer enhanced its popularity with a number of new attractive models and its exciting involvement in motor sports.

Historic Entrance of the Ruesselsheim Plant
When it launched the "Doktorwagen" 4/8 hp in 1909, Opel took the first step towards providing an affordable car for broader sections of the population. In 1913, Opel began building Grand Prix racing cars with pioneering engine technology: the 4-liter, four-cylinder units used the four-valve system with an overhead cam to drive a vertical drive shaft.

Pioneer in German Assembly-Line Production
In 1924 in Rüsselsheim, Opel became the first car manufacturer in Germany to install an assembly line. At the same time, the company updated its entire machinery and imported the very latest tooling machines from the USA. It all involved an enormous capital expenditure of one million gold marks. The first car to come off the production line was another history-maker: a new 4/12 hp model that was popularly called the "Laubfrosch" (or Tree-frog) because of its characteristic green paintwork. By 1926, all the production areas were linked to the production line and by 1927, a "Tree-frog" was coming off the line every 4.5 minutes.

A Malaysian Car in Geneva

Malaysia produces cars, does she? Yes but there is a wishy washy-ness attitude in their effort. They should go all out and push onward with a never say die gallop.

Italdesign Giugiaro together with Malaysian manufacturer Proton introduced Emas, a family of low environmental impact cars that is supposed to revolutionise traditional segmentation in the car market.

“We have created a family of models in different configurations but all offering the passenger room of a medium-category car while maintaining the exterior dimensions of a compact mini. The architecture has been designed in such a way as to allow us to outfit an infinite number of variants without compromising the car's great comfort and extensive interior space” explained Giorgetto Giugiaro, Chairman of Italdesign Giugiaro.

Italdesign Giugiaro is exhibiting three configurations of the compact car family produced with PROTON at the Geneva Auto Show:
Emas Comfort: hatchback saloon, five doors, four seats, length of 3550 mm, hybrid drivetrain in Comfort
Emas Country: hatchback saloon, three doors, five seats, length of 3550 mm, hybrid drivetrain in a Country
Emas3 City: hatchback saloon, three doors, 3+1 Plus seats, 3 metres in length in City outfit with plug-in electric drive

“Developing a car based on a hybrid system allows the designer to maximise all the opportunities and advantages offered by the combination of engines, motors (internal combustion and electric) and batteries in terms of box and bulk arrangement” continued Giugiaro.

The cars are powered by a hybrid plug-in developed by Lotus Engineering, a Proton Group company, and includes a 1.2 liter engine that develops 38 kW (51 hp) and can run on petrol, ethanol or methanol. This engine is coupled to a generator and is meant to recharge the 11.5 kWh capacity lithium ion batteries.
