“On Twitter, no one knows you’re a car.”
The software behind AJ was an app called the “Auto”matic Blog.

Ok, as you know i have a passion for cars, supercars are a “modern men’s dream”, anyway, London downtown is not the best place to ride a 600 hp car, but even in rue du Rhône in Geneva (where supercars are at every road corner) you will never see so many supercars cruising in the same time. The guy who shot this video was really excited, i can understand, it seems that he cannot keep focused on one car at a time, this make this video hard to watch, you also can have a listen to it if you like to hear V12 engine. Who’s said we are in a world economic crisis ?
By now most car lovers are probably more than aware of the hypercar motorshow that is taking place in central London; specifically around Harrods in Knightsbridge.
This summer as ever there is a huge influx of some of the world’s most exclusive and rarest cars, for example this summer we have seen so far a Veyron Sang Noir, a Zonda Cinque Roadster, a Koenigsegg CCXR “Special One”, Novitec Rosso Ferrari 599 Fiorano, 5x Lamborghini LP670-4SVs, and countless other exotic cars.
However it is perhaps normal to spot a few of these cars driving around in any given evening in this area of the city, but I will not quickly forget this evening; Friday 16th July, when in just 2 hours between 7.30 and 9.30 pm all of the these clips were shot.
here is a non-complete list of the cars included:
Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir
Bugatti Veyron Chrome/Beige
McLaren Mercedes SLR Silver/Black
McLaren Mercedes SLR 772S Matt Black
Lamborghini LP670-4SV Matt Pink
Lamborghini LP670-4SV Matt Purple
Lamborghini LP670-4SV Yellow
Lamborghini LP670-4SV Red
Novitec Rosso Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
Koenigsegg CCXR “Special One”
FAB Design Porsche Panamera
FAB Design Mercedes SL Ultimate
Ferrari 458 Italia Rosso Corsa
Mercedes SLS Matt White
Lamborghini LP560-4 White
Ferrari F430 Scuderia
Maybach 62S Matt Orange
Lamborghini Diablo VT Purple
And almost countless Ferrari 599s, Rolls Royce Phantoms, Audi R8s and other luxury cars. I doubt it will be quite so crowded in such a short space of time again this year so I hope you enjoy the video; take a look at my YouTube channel too if you are interested in seeing more of these cars!

Sure, we all drive a 305-horsepower V-6 Mustang this way to achieved 48.5 miles per gallon !!!
“To reduce load, tires have to be inflated to the maximum to reduce rolling resistance, and turns have to be taken wide to avoid scrubbing. To avoid throttle movement, the driver has to lock his foot in position and avoid stopping or slowing as much as possible.”

Car sharing is changing. Sunil Paul, the clean-tech entrepreneur behind a new San Francisco service called Spride Share, looked at the numbers and decided that 10,000 shared cars in the United States was not likely to change the world (even if, as some sharing companies have said, each in-service vehicle takes 15 others off the road).

Aston Martin today releases (16th December 2009) the first official images of the ‘Cygnet’ – a new luxury commuter concept car.
The Cygnet concept represents a creative, environmentally conscious solution, being small, yet with presence – and highly fuel efficient, now combined with the prestige of Aston Martin’s luxury brand ownership.
Work on the concept is ongoing and will continue into 2010 when it is hoped that it will become a production reality initially available to Aston Martin customers in the UK and Europe.

Finally a luxury crisis solution: a Rolls for the poors !
A savoir absolument avant de commander (from Sport-Auto and bugatti.com):
- 4 pneus à changer tous les 4000 km, ou de suite à une session en mode high-speed (dépassement des 400 km/h – Topspeed key) = 28.000 Euro
- 4 jantes à changer tous les 12.000 km = 34.000 Euro
- 0 à 400 km/h en moin de 56 secondes, 400 à 0 km/h en moin de 10 secondes: je fais juste un p’tit 0-400, 400-0, j’en ai pour une minute…
