Jaguar F-Type Coupe, something to think about

     Jaguar, a brand that we’d probably associate with the rich, old and luxury-seeking homo sapiens. That fact remained until the F-Type was launched. It’s actually the convertible version that came out first followed by the hard top F-Type Coupe. Jaguar makes incredibly powerful engines except that there hasn’t been a proper chassis to prove it until they built the F-Type which is reasonably small compared to other cars Jaguar produces. It has rigid aluminium body structure which makes it a great platform for a light-weight and good handling sports car. It uses the front engine rear drive layout which makes it an absolute kick to drive especially after you see the power-train variants. 

     The variants are; a 3.0 litre supercharged V6 producing 340hp(450Nm), 3.0 litre V6 supercharged V6 producing 380hp(460Nm), and a 5.0 litre supercharged V8 producing 550hp(680Nm) which is available of the F-Type R version. The V8 engine used is the AJ133 torque-monster which is used in many other Jaguars but I think now it has finally found a chassis it can really excel in. All the engines are mated to an 8speed ZF gearbox which is arguably one of the best transmissions out there although a proper set of manual gearbox would make it such an occasion to have it in a car which profiled like the F-Type. Aside from the technical specs of the car, I must say that it is a very good looking one too. It has that beautiful and muscular look at the same time. Jaguar claims its state-of-the-art reduces lift up to 120kg when its rear-spoiler is automatically deployed at high speed. Some may dislike the rear ¾ look of the coupe but I think its absolutely fine in its own way and the shape somewhat reminds me of the Nissan 240Z which I absolutely adore.

The first great rule in life is to put up with things; the second is to refuse to put up with things; and the third and hardest, is to be able to distinguish between the first two.

Farewell Baby Lambo!

     The best selling supercar of Lamborghini has finally come to an end in production. The Gallardo has been around since 2003 and has always been a great success to Lamborghini. They marked the ending of the production with a last Red Spyder Performante edition model. The baby Lambo has been around for 10 years now and its always a great sight to see it around, even better the noise it makes from the screaming V10 engine. Other car makers have leaped forward with much sophistication and technologies in their cars that it makes the Gallardo feel a little bit old. Despite so, you’d never have a Gallardo in any other way aside from the way it is, certainly not me. It is sad to see its production ending but all good things has to come to an end. The replacement of the Gallardo is probably going to be called the Cabrera and might feature in next year’s Geneva Motor Show.  

     We will miss you baby Lambo!

A great man's legacy will never die - Paul Walker (1973-2013)

    Little did I realize how much of an impact someone made in my life, until that person is gone. And that person doesn’t even know of my existence, probably. And I know for sure, many of you out there feel the same. The man I’m talking about is Paul Walker, star of my favourite movie franchise of all time, Fast & Furious. He died in a car crash driven by Roger Rodas, who also died in the crash. They were in a Porsche Carrera GT which hit a lamp post and exploded. They were actually taking part in a charity event to raise money to help the victims of the Phillipines typhoon. Paul wasn’t just a great actor, but such a humble, kind and caring person. The Fast & Furious movies have deepened my enthusiasm towards cars and Paul Walker was quite frankly my role model/idol. He is the reason I love the Skyline GTR, when I first saw him driving it in 2 Fast 2 Furious. He also is a co-owner of AE Performance, a tuning company which manufactures car performance parts and race-preps. I’ve always had the dream to open my own tuning company and knowing that he has one of his own just pushes me harder to motivate myself and achieve my dreams. I feel like I can associate with him in many ways possible. It was really devastating to hear the news of his departure from our world but I’m sure and I quote this from Vin Diesel that “heaven has just gained another angel”. He went too soon but thats life, purely unexpected things happen. In some ways, I’m happy he left in a Carrera GT, which he did mention before as one of his top favourite cars. There so much more to him but little I have left to say. The world really lost a great man and I wish to thank him for what he has done in the film industry as well as his great help and donations for charity. I pray for his soul to rest in peace. Amen.
