A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills -- if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat -- add your voice now!

The Porsche 917/30 is Literally Insane

1967.36 bhp/tonne in qualifying tune

After their successes with the 917 mainly in Europe, Porsche instead decided to focus on the North American markets and the Can-Am Challenge. For that series, larger and more powerful engines were needed. A 16-cylinder with about 750 hp (560 kW) was tested, but a turbocharged 12-cylinder had initially the same power, with more to come was used. The 917 chassis also had to be lengthened to accept the longer 16 cylinder engine, and drivers complained that this longer chassis did not handle as well.

The turbocharged 850 hp (630 kW) 917/10 entered by Penske Racing won the 1972 series with George Follmer, after a testing accident sidelined primary driver Mark Donohue. This broke the five-year stranglehold McLaren had on the series. The further evolution of the 917, the 917/30 with revised aerodynamics, a longer wheelbase and an even stronger 5.4 litre engine with up to 1,580 horsepower (1,180 kW) won the 1973 edition winning all races but one with Mark Donohue driving. Most of the opposition was made of private 917/10 as McLaren, unable to compete against the 917 turbos, had already left the series to concentrate on the Indy 500 and F1.

The 917’s domination, the oil crisis, and fiery tragedies like Roger Williamson’s in Zandvoort pushed the SCCA to introduce a 3 miles per US gallon maximum fuel consumption rule for 1974. Due to this change, the Penske 917/30 competed in only one race in 1974, and some customers retrofitted their 917/10 with naturally aspirated engines.

The 917/30 was the most powerful sports car racer ever built and raced. The 5.374 litre 12 cylinder (90.0 x 70.4 mm) twin-turbocharged engine could produce 1,580 bhp (1,180 kW) in qualifying tune, with twin turbochargers run up to full boost, 39 psi (2.7 bar), though it usually raced with around 1,100 bhp (820 kW) at 7,800 rpm to preserve the engine. Weighing 1,800 lb (820 kg), giving it a power to weight of 1967.36 bhp/tonne in qualifying tune and 1369.68 bhp/tonne in race tune. The 917/30 dominated the Can-Am series during the 1973 season. The 917/30 could go from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 1.9 seconds, 0-100 mph (160 km/h) in 3.9 seconds, 0-200 mph (320 km/h) in 10.9 seconds, and on to a top speed of more than 260 mph (420 km/h). The high-level of performance and attendant fuel consumption of the engines, and ever increasing risk, has led to the 917/30 sometimes being cited as the car that killed Can-Am racing.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Model More Expensive Than the Real Thing

How much would you pay for a car? Not just any car, mind you, a super car that you would not want to drive on the road every day. Lamborghini has long been a major player in the auto world, but they might just have been given a run for their money by model car maker Robert Gülpen.

Robert Gülpen has made a 1:8 scale replica of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, using carbon and platinum gold. If that were not enough, the model car maker added precious stones to his creation. “High-tech work of art” is indeed an apt description for what he has made. Take a closer look.

As you can see, the body of the miniature Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is made of carbon – not unlike the real car that you can drive. The steering wheel, seats, and headlights have diamonds embedded in them. Combined with the precious metals used in the miniature, the diamonds cost about 2 million euros! Now compare that to the price of the real car, which is 303,450 euros. But that is not the actual price of the miniature car. It is supposed to be auctioned off by Sotheby’s later this year, in December. The starting price is reported to be 3.5 million euros! With the auction going to be held in ether Dubai or New York, there certainly are going to be some takers. Oh, and in case you have little patience and tons of cash, you can get the miniature for a whopping 4.5 million euros without having to go through the auction.
