CAFÉ RACER 76: MID-ENGINED 1963 CHEVROLET CORVETTE


Quote:
The Corvette you see here is a design study of sorts, the creators wanted to create what they thought*
Chevrolet would have built if they’d chosen to compete with the Ferraris and Ford GT40 in the mid-1960s.
*It’s been designed to closely resemble the styling of the C2 Corvette, with the passenger compartment*
moved forward and the engine now housed just in front of the rear wheels.
Rather than sticking to ’60s era engineering under the surface, it was decided that the car would be built*
to modern specifications – including a twin turbo*Chevrolet LS V8 capable of 1000hp and 982ft lbs*
of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a*custom built Mendeola transaxle and shifting is achieved*
using steering wheel mounted Master Shift paddles.

Ford EcoSport facelift caught testing, India launch later 2017
Ford EcoSport facelift caught testing, India launch later 2017 -


Quote:
To add to the aggressive stance the compact SUV comes with revised bumpers and will retain the tailgate-mounted spare wheel similar to the models in China and Brazil (European models donot get a tailgate-mounted spare wheel).................

Ecosport will face more competition from the likes of Tata Motors Nexon and Hyundai compact SUV in addition to Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Mahindra TUV300.
What a Raptor's egg looks like.

Ducati launches Scrambler Café Racer in India
Ducati launches Scrambler Café Racer in India -



Quote:
The motorcycle is powered by the air and oil-cooled EURO 4-compliant 803 cc twin-cylinder Desmodue engine which delivers 73 hp at 8,250 rpm* and a torque of 67 Nm at 5,750 rpm* and comes with black-trimmed covers and machined cooling fins................................

“This motorcycle is a modern interpretation of the legendary Café Racer scene from the 1960s that triggered a motorcycling revolution. It represents the expression of free spirit and is an icon of style for enthusiasts. We’re very confident that with the Ducati Scrambler Café Racer, we will successfully bring the global cultural phenomenon to India as well.”
The rider is going to get mud, dirt and kicked up rocks on their backside unless a rear tire splash guard is offered.

They could give it the same color and texture of the rear wheel and I bet most people would never notice.
