McLaren’s new F1 car




















McLaren has finally unveiled its contender for the 2011 Formula One season. By building it in front of a live audience.
In the most dramatic - and bizarre - F1 launches so far, Vodafone competition winners carried in bits of the MP4-26 and handed them over to Important Men from McLaren. Messrs Hamilton and Button were the last to arrive, carrying the steering wheel and headrest.
Unveiled on the site of the old Berlin wall in, err, Berlin, the MP4-26 features KERS and an adjustable rear wing, as per the new rules. Don't forget, McLaren were the first team to win an F1 race with KERS when Lewis snatched a win in Hungary 2009.
The MP4-26 also features an unusual ‘U'-shaped sidepod arrangement which McLaren says is to direct air to the rear of the car more efficiently.

2012 Ferrari FF






















The long-anticipated successor to the 612 Scaglietti takes the stage as Ferrari's flagship grand tourer. It carries four seats like its predecessor, but elongates the roofline for a shooting brake/hatchback body-style that offers plenty of cabin space and – with those rear seats folded down – as much cargo capacity as a small wagon.
0-62 in 3.7 seconds (a third quicker than the 612) and a top speed of 208 mph (about nine mph faster than the 612). Credit that bit to the all-new, direct-injection, 6.3-liter V12 and its 651 horsepower and 504 lb-ft of torque, which you can read about – together with the other technical details – in the press release after the jump. Ferrari's also launched a dedicated microsite for the new flagship.                                                         


PSP2 (NGP, Next Generation Portable)


Sony has unveiled its new hand held. The Sony NGP, Next Generation Portable, will have a 5-inch OLED screen, capacitive multitouch, a rear multitouch surface, motion control, 3G, 2 full control sticks, PlayStation Suite support, a quad-core CPU, a quad-core GPU, and be capable of playing full PS3 games.
After weeks of rampant speculation over the future of the PlayStation Portable brand, Sony has unveiled the next evolution of its handheld lineup: the Sony NGP, or “Next Generation Portable.” The new handheld is not the device we saw the other day, either. Sony claims the new device is as powerful as a PlayStation 3 and has software to back it up. At the unveiling, Konami’s Hideo Kojima came on stage to show off a version of Metal Gear Solid 4 running smoothly on the handheld.

At the unveiling, Sony president Kaz Hirai says the new handheld was conceived with five core principles in mind, reports PC World. NGP was built around social connectivity, location-awareness, a “revolutionary” user interface, augmented reality, and PlayStation Suite compatibility.

NGP full feature list:

Quad-core processor: Smartphones may have just breached dual-core processing, but Sony is including a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor in NGP along with a SGX543 quad-core graphics processor. Sony claims the device is about four times as powerful as any portable device we’ve seen. It will need that power too if it hopes to run full PS3 games. Sony expects battery life to be 4-5 hours.



The NGP is scheduled for Holiday 2011 launch.
