2011:2012 Dodge Charger SRT8

      Power for the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 comes from 6.4L HEMI V8 engine making an estimated 465-hp and 465 lb-ft of torque, including an estimated additional 80 lb-ft at 2,900 rpm. That allows the 2012 Charger SRT8 to go from 0-60 mph in the high 4-second range and to run the quarter mile in the high 12-second range. Estimated top speed comes in at 175 mph. Now those numbers might change, but Dodge says it will release the specific horsepower, torque and fuel economy numbers closer to launch date.
The engine is mated a W5A580 5-speed automatic with standard paddle-shifters, the first for a Chrysler Group LLC SRT product. The 2012 Charger SRT8 also features an advanced Fuel Saver (4-cylinder mode) technology with an active valve exhaust system  that allows engagement of a wider rpm range.
The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 will be produced at the Brampton Assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario, Canada and will go on sale later this year. Prices will be announced closer to launch date.

Is This the Future of the Cameraphone?

Imagine a phone with a camera that's better and a body that's than any other phone currently available. And imagine that instead of a single camera, the module carried an array of 25 micro-cameras. Pelican Imaging promises just that with their camera module, and they think they have what it takes to revolutionize cameraphones.
GigaOM says the secret behind Pelican's technology isn't unlike the HDR feature found on the iPhone. the hardware captures multiple images (or sets of data), and then uses post-processing software to assemble it all into one high-quality photograph. Pelican is less obsessed with cramming more megapixels into the phone, and more interested in finding the best way to pair a sensor with a lens (or lenses, in this case).
Pelican plans to license their technology component manufacturerers and handset makers, similar to what ARM does with their processors. Can't wait to see this pop up in an actual phone.

Al Qaeda Steals Crashed Drone Wreckage

Whoops! A Predator drone cruising over Yemen took a spill, nosediving into a heap inside a small village. Police then secured the debris – sort of. On the way out, their convoy was hijacked by Al Qaeda goons. Debris snatched. It’s not as if Al Qaeda is about to reverse engineer and manufacture their own drones, but the incident underscores Yemen’s own problems with counter-terrorism. Mainly, that they’re piss poor at it.

2011 Ducati Diavel

   A scant few photos and a quick hit of information about the all-new Ducati Diavel have slipped out ahead of the bike's unveil at EICMA. According to the crew at Hell for Leather, the sculpture you see above packs a full 162 horsepower, 94 pound-feet of torque and tips the scales at a feathery 456 pounds. And that's just the base version. Apparently the Italian moto-maker is also offering a Diavel Carbon version that makes use of plenty of carbon fiber to shed an additional seven pounds from the recipe.

Aside from the pants-soiling power, the Diavel also comes loaded with more technology than ought to be possible. There's a ride-by-wire throttle system, traction control, anti-lock brakes, a keyless ignition and a tank-mounted, light-sensing TFT display packed into the beast you see above. Sounds fun, but we can hardly look at the bike without getting our eyeballs stuck on that epic 240 millimeter-wide tire. Hey, all that power has to get to the pavement somehow.

If you want one, and let's face it, you probably do, you'll have to shell out around $16,995 for the base model and $19,995 for the Carbon iteration.

2011 Yamaha YZF-R1 Unveiled

     Yamaha has unveiled the 2011 YZF-R1 which is the only production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. It is fitted with a 998 cc, DOHC, 4-valve, in-line 4 engine that can deliver 182 hp at 12500 rpm, torque of 85 lb. ft. at 10,000 rpm, a top speed of 174 mph with a fuel consumption of 40 mpg.
The engine features forged aluminum pistons, titanium intake valves and adopts a forced-air intake system. Also, the new YZF-R1 uses a compact close-ratio 6-speed transmission that has optimized gear ratios, a multi plate clutch as well as a 4 into 2 into 1 into 2 titanium exhaust system with dual under seat mufflers.
     In keeping with this machine’s exceptional cornering ability and crisp handling, the aluminum frame has been designed to offer exceptional rigidity balance. The rear frame is lightweight Controlled-Fill die-cast magnesium, contributing the optimum mass centralization. Suspension includes SOQI front forks which use one of the tricks developed for our winning MotoGP® bikes: independent damping. The left fork handles compression damping and the right side handles the rebound damping. And the rear shock adopts bottom linkage for optimum suspension characteristics.

                        
In addition, the new R1 has only two projector-type bulbs mounted closer to the nose of the bike that positions ram air ducts closer contributing to a more compact, smooth look. Another novel feature is the rounded lenses.
Lightweight instrumentation includes an analog tachometer, digital speedo, dual tripmeters, clock, coolant temperature and fuel trip meter. This console also features adjustable back lighting, adjustable shift light and a low fuel warning light.
The 2011 Yamaha YZF-R1 also features a gear position indicator, accelerator opening angle indicator, engine mode indicator integrated stop watch, lap timer with split time mode and an air intake temperature display.
Footrests can be raised 15mm upward and 3mm backward, the windshield has a “screw less” design and the 4.8 gallons fuel tank provides excellent knee grip.
The 2011 Yamaha YZF-R1 is priced at $13,590.
