Both the bikes have Unitary Construction Engine and fuel injection. The Classic 500 and 350 will be the first Royal Enfield bikes in India to have this feature. In the previous bikes, the engine and transmission were separate, but Unitary construction of the engine means that the engine and transmission have been combined into a single unit.

Many Royal Enfield Bullet fans that didn’t like the wheels on previous motorcycles will be happy to know that the new Classic 500 as well as the Classic 350 have 18-inch wheels. Both look equally awesome and classy.

Royal Enfield Bullet Classic 500 is able to produce around 27.2 BHP at 5250 RPM and a maximum torque of 41.3 NM at 4,000 RPM whileas the 350cc sibling produces 19.8 BHP at 5250 rpm and a maximum torque of 24 NM at 4000 RPM.  Both the motorcyles feature electronic fuel injection as well as electronic start.

On the launch event, Royal Enfield said, “blending yesteryear’s charm and today’s technology, the Classic is a tribute to the glorious machines of the past and is ready to roar into the future.” However charm and technology don’t come cheap. Both the bikes are pretty expensive. The cheaper and lesser powerful Bullet Classic 350 comes at a price of Rupees Rs.98,800 ex-showroom Delhi while the more expensive Bullet Classic 500 EFI is priced at Rs. 124000 in Delhi.

We see hundreds, if not thousands, of cars every day. Cheap cars and Ferraris, sedans and SUVS, we have see them all. However, there are cars we get to see very rarely. These cars, although very few in the world, are something no one wants to sit in except, of course, their makers. Ranging from bizzare to awkward, you will see all these weird cars on this page. Some are, no doubt, very-very unique – that doesn’t make them less sucky. Without further ado, let us list them:

TotallyTubular was presented in 2008′s Houstan art parade. This care is plastered all over with tubes.

2) Bug Car

Probably inspired by Starship Troopers, this car is made into the shape of an ugly bug.

3) Art Car

This car, named the Art Car by its uploader on Flick looks like some sort of bird cage.

4) Star Car

Shaped as a star, this car’s engine lies on the rear wheel. However it is impossible to say whether there is a steering wheel or not.

5) Jawa Sand Crawler

This might be the reason why Tuskens from time to time succeeded in raiding a Jawa sand crawler.

There has been some buzz going along from quite some time now about the Porsche Panamera which will be released to the world in 2010. It is called by some as the most enthusiastic car by Porsche. The Porsche Panamera sedan will start at $89,800 when it is unleashed in the U.S. on October 17, 2010. The 2010 Porsche Panamera comes with a 400-hp, 4.8-liter V-8 and PDK dual-clutch automated manual gearbox. The PDK will be the only tranny available on U.S.-spec Panameras initially. The Porsche has defined this can as “The symbiosis of sports-car DNA derived from the looks of a coupe, the unique interpretation of the classical sedan body and the benefits of a variable space concept give the new Porsche a truly unmistakable appearance.”
It’s true that the appearance of a Porsche is indeed unmistakable. They are the most recognizable machines on the market, and whether you’re using the web to read about the latest models from the manufacturer or you’re browsing for a new Porsche in between free poker games , it’s hard not to spot it for what it is. This particular sedan is a great example of the manufacturer’s signature design.
Porsche says the S version of this Car which costs a little more than $90K—plus destination fees and a likely gas-guzzler tax, will sprint to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and top out at 175 mph. It will come with a 400-hp, 4.8-liter V-8 and PDK dual-clutch automated manual gearbox. The Mid-Range Model of this series, Panamera 4S, will start at $93,800 and is estimated to got to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 175 mph. The range-topping, 500-hp Panamera Turbo will have a pre-fee price of $132,600. Also equipped with all-wheel drive and the PDK transmission, the Turbo should give the rear-drive, 518-hp Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG a run for its $135,225 sticker price. Porsche says the Turbo will run to 60 mph in four seconds flat and have a top speed of 188 mph. We have clocked the S63 to 60 only as quick as 4.5 seconds. Now for the images, here are some of the latest interior images of the 2010 Porsche Panamera.

The launch of this aerodynamic-looking, sporty, yet rusty mobike is going to please one and all bike lovers like you and me! While I say sporty, believe me I also meant that Yamaha FZ 16 is also designed by Bike manufacturing Giant Yamaha Motors keeping in mind the rugged and crater-filled Indian roads. The motorbike is believed to shake the entire two-wheeler segment market of the Indian automobile industry. With its launch Yamaha as a company will in no time get synonymous with the youth of the country and will mark the beginning of a new era. The premium bike maker is all set to roll the dice in its favor posing tough competition to Apache, Pulsars and Hunks.

Yamaha FZ-16 mobike is set to take the generation next by storm with several unique features, while the basic design is adopted from earlier series of FZ, though. With its diamond-shaped frame, this mobike is different with its killer-like looks and originality. It can really snatch away second glance from every person on the road.

The craftsmanship and engineering feat of Yamaha is revealed as you take a close look at the minute details of the vehicle, if I have to say it’s crafted to perfection.

If you are the one who would first give vote for style, look and color, well let me tell you that FZ16 is rightly branded as the ‘Lord of the Street.’ The motorcycle reflects power, strength and dynamism from any angle of view.

This Lord of Street is available in bold colors of flaming orange, midnight black and lava red. The kerb weight of the vehicle is 126kg, with a length of 1975 mm, height of 1045 mm and a width of 770 mm.

The engine of Yamaha FZ-16 is a bi-valved 153 CC, air-cooled, Single Overhead Camshaft Engine (SOCE). It gives an envious output of 14 PS and the peak torque it can generate is about 13.6 Nm. The pickup speed of this toy is mindboggling and an electric starter will only be a kicker (I didn’t mean you need to kick start this). Yamaha FZ-16 breathes through a BS26 carburetor and is neither fuel injected nor oil cooled; but working under negative pressure.

Fuel tank: The 12-liter fuel tank is built of stainless steel but has an outside plastic cover to give that molded look and reflect the perfect dynamic and muscular image of the vehicle. The tank has integrated shrouds and an eye-catching exhaust.

Brakes: Who likes those ol’ brakes? Well my vote is for disc brakes and there is a large disc brake on the front side of the vehicle that helps with great braking power and high-end balance to ride it. If you ask me if any downside, I would say that there is no rear-end disc brake in the Yamaha FZ-16.

Suspension: Suspension is the thing that impressed me like hell. The Mono-cross suspension at the rear, inner tubes in the front, hydraulic forks of diameter 41 mm provide excellent shock absorption typical of Yamaha craftsmanship and gives all the riding pleasure during those long drives for the rider and the pillion. Not to mention adding stability to the bike as well.

Tyres: Both, rear and front end tyres are tubeless with rear-end tyre having aspect ratio of 60 per cent. The advantage of tubeless tyres are, on being punctured it is less susceptible on getting flattened (I assume you know it also reduces the kerb weight of the bike as well). Yamaha FZ-16 has the fattest rear-end tyre with specifications as 140/60-R17, while that of the front tyre is 100/60-17. Which means the balance is perfect!

Headlight: The multi-reflector headlight with transparent lens on the front side provides with perfect illumination.

Dashboard: Yamaha FZ-16 sports fully digital speedometer and all other measuring indicators including the odometer, fuel gauge and the tachometer that have a characteristic of Liquid Crystal Display for clearer vision.

Performance: It’s from the Yamaha portfolio, so you can expect a performance par excellence with respect to the start-up speed (the company says 0-60 this bike gives the best time. The running speed of Yamaha FZ-16 overtakes all with its unprecedented torque. What more? it comes priced at Rs. 65000 (ex-showroom). Additionally, the gear ratio provides with awesome agility and optimum performance on the Indian roads. It’s gotten a spacious seat, so you don’t have to worry off your over-sized butts!

The new Yamaha FZ 16 is going to rock the streets! Are you game for it?
