490 Ferrari sport cars have set a new Guinness World Record at the Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka, Japan, on May 11, for the largest parade of Ferrari cars.
The Italian cars were required to parade for two miles while keeping the distance between each car for no more than two car-lengths apart to set the record.
The previous record was 385 at the Silverstone circuit, UK, in June 2007.
India’s Tata Motors has unveiled the world’s cheapest car on January 10 in New Delhi. The vehicle, called the Tata Nano, will sell for 100,000 rupees (USD2,500)…
Company chairman Ratan Tata said that Nano is “a safe, affordable and all weather transport; a people’s car designed to meet all safety standards and emissions laws and accessible to all.”
Some environmentalist, as expected, are concerned that the vehicle will lead to more air pollution from traffic congestions. Sounds true, but who are us to deny others the leisure to own their cars when we are driving one of our own? I bet that most of those environmental critics are car owners too.
Three Transformers fans in Nanjing, China, have taken three months to build their own robot out of a Citroen C2 car. Sui Lulu, Zhang Yiming and Li Wei have named the Transformer X2.
“We are huge Transformers fans, and grew up with them on TV and in comic books. We always wanted to have our own transformer, a real one,” says graphic designer Sui Lulu.
He says they picked the Citroen C2 because it’s small: “We originally wanted to make the figure of Optimus Prime, who is transformed from a truck.
“But we calculated that the final figure would be around seven storeys high, and we couldn’t find room for it. So we went with the Citroen C2.” [via Spluch]
