Can you guess this car?⁠ ⁠ Hint: This car was its manufacturer's first front-engined car. One of this vehicle's distinctive features was its pop-up headlights, which became a signature element of the car's design. While often criticized for not being as performance-oriented as other models of its era, this car did have success in motorsport, particularly in the SCCA racing series.⁠ ⁠ Let us know what you think it is in the comments 👇️

Ultra-Rare 1957 Jaguar XKSS Poised To Fetch $14 Million https://lnkd.in/ejYnVdv3 One of the rarest Jaguars in existence, it'll be worth every penny. A stunning example of the hallowed 1957 Jaguar XKSS, considered one of the most beautiful cars ever made, will be auctioned by RM Sotheby's at its 2023 Monterey Car Week Auction on August 19. Possibly one of the rarest cars to grace the auction, RM Sotheby's describes the car as "one of the absolute most original and best-preserved of the fabled XKSS examples." But what makes the XKSS so special? Well, at the end of the 1956 racing season, Jaguar withdrew from racing, retaining a number of unsold D-Type race cars. The remaining models were converted to roadgoing specification to be sold in the US, with a planned production run of 25 cars cut short by a fire that destroyed nine cars. The 1-of-16 XKSS you see here, then, is not only rare but is one of the earliest examples of a real race car for the road. That's why it is expected to fetch $12,000,000-14,000,000 - roughly equivalent to buying 116 modern Jaguar F-Type R coupes.

Harley-Davidson produced the V-Rod, also known as the V-Twin Racing Street Custom (VRSC), from 2001 to 2017. At its launch, the V-Rod introduced a more aggressive and sporty look, setting it apart from other Harley models and competing motorcycles. The design of the V-Rod was inspired by Harley-Davidson's drag-racing bikes, featuring an extended wheelbase of 67.5 inches and front forks angled at 38 degrees. In collaboration with Porsche Engineering, Harley-Davidson developed the first motorcycle in its lineup equipped with a liquid-cooled DOHC four-valve V-twin engine, dual overhead cams, and fuel injection. This engine, based on the VR 1000 racing engine architecture and dubbed the Revolution, had a 60-degree V configuration, differing from the traditional 45-degree angle of Harley’s air-cooled pushrod engines. The V-Rod's radical design marked a significant shift from Harley-Davidson's usual practice of making incremental changes with new models. It featured a larger engine with a displacement of 1130cc (68.95 cubic inches), producing 115 hp at 8250 rpm and 64.9 lb-ft of torque at 6300 rpm. Although the engine maintained the uneven firing order typical of a V-twin, its exhaust sound was distinct from more traditional Harley models. Another unique feature was its fuel tank design: the bike had a dummy fuel tank without a filler cap in the usual position, with the actual fuel stored in a tank beneath the seat. To refuel, riders had to lift the seat to access the filler cap.

🚩 Mr Stroll & the God Odin In Norse mythology, the Valkyrie were a group of maidens who served the god Odin and were sent by him to the battlefields to choose the slain worthy of a place in Valhalla. Aston Martin and Heart of Racing will enter two Valkyrie hypercars in the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans. Their objective is an overall victory in the Hypercar class. A bit of history: 2016 Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing partnered to develop a hypercar, initially codenamed AM-RB 001. Also, a way of stopping Adrian Newey from leaving to join Ferrari by allowing him to be the 'Lead Designer.' (ref: Previous article). The brief was to create a road-legal car with Formula 1 performance. The name, the Aston Martin Valkyrie, was announced in 2017. Cosworth built the V12 engine, and Rimac provided the hybrid battery system. In 2018, prototype testing began with a focus on aerodynamics. In 2019, the 6.5-litre V12 engine was announced, claiming 1,000 bhp plus an electric motor for a combined 1,160 bhp. Also, the Valkyrie appeared at events like the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Production plans were limited to 150 road cars and 25 track-only versions (Valkyrie AMR Pro). During 2020, Covid inevitably slowed development. In 2021, final rigorous testing and first deliveries planned. Ten cars, fewer than planned, were delivered in the last quarter of 2021, causing the company to miss its profit target. In 2022, full-scale production starts at Aston Martin's Gaydon facility. However, there are drawbacks to owning a vehicle designed like a Formula One racing car. According to a Bloomberg report, servicing the Valkyrie could cost £355,000 over three years. Returning to the opening paragraph, if you replace maidens with sales ladies, the God Odin with the God Stroll, and Aston Martin in front of Valhalla, it kinda makes sense.

The Pomeroy Index is a way of measuring the relative speed of cars from different eras. The index effectively gives an idea of the advantage in the lap time that a car would have over another car racing in an entirely different era. It can also be used to compare cars that have not competed against each other. #PomeroyIndex

🚀 Breaking Boundaries: Suzuki Hayabusa Shatters 270-MPH Barrier! 🏍️💥 If you're an adrenaline junkie with a need for speed, chances are the Suzuki Hayabusa holds a special place in your heart. This hyperbike has long held the title of the "world's fastest motorcycle," and its legacy continues to race ahead. The latest feat in this saga comes all the way from the United Kingdom, where Jack Frost, the visionary behind Holeshot Racing, pushed the limits of velocity aboard his @Hayabusa. 🇬🇧🏁 In an exhilarating display of power and precision, Frost achieved a jaw-dropping top speed of 274.926mph on his meticulously modified Hayabusa. The pulse-pounding pursuit took center stage at the Elvington Airfield, where he soared past the previous record set by none other than the legendary Isle Of Man TT racer, Guy Martin. Martin's own Hayabusa hit an impressive 270.9mph on the same stretch just last year. Intriguingly, it was Jack Frost himself who assisted Martin in fine-tuning his 'Busa for that groundbreaking endeavor. 🌬️⚡ The quest for speed is an art of meticulous craftsmanship. Frost's Hayabusa has been reborn with ingenious enhancements, shedding weight with Blackstone TEK carbon wheels and bespoke aerodynamic fairings. The carbon fiber masterpiece is crowned with a GSX-R1000R top cowl, featuring dynamic aerodynamic wings that defy wind resistance. And yes, these wings actually do their job splendidly. Not just the surface, the very core of this machine has undergone a transformation. A precision-engineered Öhlins Racing AB suspension system graces both front and rear, harmonizing with an extended, custom-made swingarm and cutting-edge Brembo S.p.A. RX calipers. 🛠️🔧🏎️ But let's pause and consider the technological marvels that lie ahead. Imagine a world where intricate metal components, such as the rear suspension rocker link, are forged not in traditional metal, but through the groundbreaking innovation of 9T Labs' Additive Fusion Technology (AFT)™. The future of speed and design beckons, with limitless possibilities to explore. 🔮🌌 So here's to Jack Frost and his indomitable Hayabusa, rewriting the laws of velocity and inspiring us all to dream beyond the boundaries of possibility. Let's accelerate into the future, fueled by innovation and passion! 🌐💨 #Hayabusa270MPH #InnovationInMotion #SpeedUnleashed #aft #9tlabs
