FAST AND FURIOUS SIX!


FINALLY!!! The first trailer and preview for the upcoming film Fast and Furious Six has been released!!!

Everyone who loves cars MUST have seen all the previous Fast and Furious film, and now, even after the epic conclusion of Fast Five, there were 2 more movies just waiting to be revealed! And finally the first trailer for Fast and Furious Six is released! It is said that Fast 6 and 7 will be released in two parts (much like the final Harry Potter Movies) which is a bit of a shame, but either way it looks AWESOME! SO PUMPED!!! 
Not revealing too much, but the plot is generally about how Dom and his team need to take down a criminal organisation in return of full pardons of their own crimes so they can return to their home country...

New Rolls-Royce Wraith - preview sneak peak


Rolls Royce has revealed the new upcoming addition to to Rolls Royce family- the 'Wraith' (fitting in nicely with other Rolls-Royce names like Phantom and Ghost).
Although they revealed it, they only gave a picture that does not give away much at all
But of course what we can see is that it will be a large 2-door coupe, and Autoweek reports that it will have a 6.0 Litre V12 engine under the hood, which will generate around 600hp.
But come on Rolls-Royce, give us a little more!

Simplified Explanations: Turbo and Superchargers

Welcome to the very first Simplified Explanation. So without any further ado let's get down to business. First on the agenda: Turbochargers and Superchargers

Firstly, what is a turbo, or a supercharger?
We put fuel in our cars to make the car "go" . The engine works because the fuel is burnt with oxygen from the air in the cylinders, to drive the pistons. This is a combustion reaction. Therefore, the more air there is, the more combustion is possible, and therefore better efficiency. And that is exactly what turbochargers and superchargers do; feed more air into the cylinders.

SUPERCHARGER
TURBOCHARGER



What is the difference between a turbo and a supercharger?
A supercharger is driven mechanically which means that they are driven directly from the engine.
A turbocharger is driven from the pressure of exhaust gases.



Which is better?
Well, since a supercharger is driven from the engine, it respon as soon as the accelerator is pressed, whereas since a turbocharger is driven from the exhaust pressure, it needs time to spin up to speed while the pressure builds.
Therefore you'd think that superchargers are better, BUT don't forget that they do take out some power from the engine, and just makes more power than they loose so they are effective. Turbos use energy that would otherwise go to waste.
So to sum up, Superchargers are in effect straight away but use power from the engine, and turbochargers suffer from turbo lag but use energy that would go to waste.
