Posted by at 5:30 AM
In 2011 a Red Bull Chris Pfeiffer India Tura, four-time world champion Chris Pfeiffer stuntriding paved the way for the fire in Jaipur, where he played on his BMW F 800 R in front of a roaring crowd and joy to MNIT (Malaviya National Institute Knowledge) reasons.

Despite the fact that there is an India vs Australia Cricket World Cup quarterfinals in time, a show was packed. The MNIT learned even arranged the installation of a screen near the arena of performance, so they are not to be missed by the performances of CP because of the fight. Three times his bike came to life, however, everything stopped. There were people in trees, people on roofs, in each place.

After an emotional performance in Jaipur, Chris has already arrived in Delhi and was perched on Indian motocross champion Prince around Delhi. When you visit the India Gate, Red Fort and Parliament Street, ended his day after having tasted the famous local specialty breads paranthasa Paranthe Waali Galia, across the road stands offering culinary delights of India.

Besides the aerobatic demonstration, CP enjoyed the cuisine of Rajasthan and fun in a rickshaw through the streets of Jaipur. The fun-filled day ended when he spent the evening watching the sunset on the horizon of Nahargarh Fort, a fort belonging to the ring of defense around the old city.

Spotted! Scion FR S Prototype Hits the Road for Testing

Posted by at 5:30 AM

Thanks to the concept that was shown at the New York auto show earlier this year, we already had a pretty good idea of what the finalized Scion FR-S will look like. Now, our friends at Motor Trend have managed to snap a production version of the new sports car undergoing testing in Germany near the famed Nürburgring race track.

The car spotted is covered head-to-toe in camouflage, but the spot-patterned wrap doesn’t completely obscure many of the car’s details. As expected, the design has been toned down from the original FT-86 concept, but it has not lost its edge. Gone are the flared ducts on the front valance, replaced with fog lights and turn indicators, while the rear has inherited a subtle diffuser with dual exhaust ports. Both head- and taillight treatments are less aggressive and more rounded, as was the case with the concept shown at New York.

Although less revolutionary than Toyota’s original FT-86 design, we’re happy with what we can see in this pre-production vehicle. The essence of the three concepts leading to the production vehicle (the FT-86 Concept from the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, the FT-86 II Concept at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, and the aforementioned FR-S Concept) remains largely intact. Check out all the shots of this tester over at Motor Trend.

Stay cold for the Volvo C30 Electric

Posted by at 5:30 AM

There are those predicting doom and gloom for electric cars when temperatures drop, and those steadfastedly saying that frigid batteries will not be the end of the road when it comes to fuel-free transportation. The reality lies somewhere in between, but Volvo's at least doing the right thing: testing the frozen snot out of its C30 Electric way up north of the Arctic Circle. When things get really cold the car can use an ethanol-powered heater to keep things comfortable for both drivers and batteries and, at temperatures down to -30C (that's -22F), the car has proven to manage a range of 80km, which is just a tick under 50 miles. Given the hatchback is rated for 100 miles of range when warmer that's not exactly good news for Eskimo environmentalists who love Swedish cars. Still, it also must be said those are rather extreme conditions, as shown in the video below, which also includes footage of some extreme elk herding.
