E-Type is back; this time all-electric http://www.favething.com/a-green/electric-sports-cars/jaguar-e-type-concept-zero-e-type-is-back-this-time-all-electric/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/electric-sports-cars/jaguar-e-type-concept-zero-e-type-is-back-this-time-all-electric/ The Jaguar E-Type is one of the most iconic sports cars ever produced. I'm so excited to have learned that Jaguar is introducing a huge upgrade to the 57-year-old classic.. an all-electric powertrain from Jaguar's E-Pace crossover! That's right, the E-type is back with a zero-emission makeover! I think this is amazing. The battery pack and electric motor have been cleverly designed and weigh nearly as much as the original inline six and transmission. This will help preserve the handling dynamics while still making it even faster than the standard version! Jaguar Classic has also stated they will offer completely reversible conversions for existing E-Types, which is a very fitting update for an all-time classic. It's not slated for release until 2020, but I can't wait till I see them on the road. I'd love to take a drive in one.

It's fast as hell, practical and rare. The performance car is finally making its way to the U.S. If only I could afford it. The new station-wagon has a twin-turbo V8 engine that sends 603 horsepower to all four wheel via an all-wheel drive system. One of my favourite features is the AMG-exclusive system that has a variable torque split front-to-rear that is generally sending power to the front axle to get around corners quickly.. but it's got a Drift Mode that switches into pure rear-wheel drive. Imagine taking this out for a drive.. and experiencing the 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.4 seconds first hand. It's faster than even a Corvette Grand Sport! That would be a ride to remember. I love the sleek new look with beautiful interior and semi-autonomous tech in the new E-Classes. The Mercedes-Benz AMG E S Wagon is set to arrive in U.S. dealers in fall of 2018. I wish I could finance it one day. Afterall, what's not to like about a 603-hp station wagon with a Drift Mode? 2018-05-07 12:43:19 https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/model/class-E/model-E63S4S Quintessenza Electric Classic 911 http://www.favething.com/a-green/electric-sports-cars/quintessenza-electric-classic-911/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/electric-sports-cars/quintessenza-electric-classic-911/ The Dutch firm Voitures Extravert is converting old porsche 911s into electric cars. The project has been dubbed "Quintessenza", which will feature 1970s and 1980s models decked out with electric insides. The Quintessenza SE features a 70s look, a very rare view these days - with the original, narrow and chrome vibes. I really enjoy the old school looks, so I would prefer the SE over the TE(80s look). This is a very interesting concept, but has not yet been completed. The Quintessenza Electric Classic 911 is merely in reservations, with an estimated delivery of the first 10 cars in early 2019. The specs are pretty neat, too. A 60-kilowatt-hour battery pack that will provide a range of 400 kilometers, or roughly 250 miles, and enough power to reach 0-62 mph in 6.0 seconds. The Quintessenza SE will only be available in the EU, North America and Switzerland. I would definitely like to keep up with the development and see if it releases on time in 2019, and how it performs in the real world.

This is an amazing statement, especially since Forward Lab's solar roofing will still produce the same amount of electricity as Tesla's. I think this is really cool in technology. Elon Musk was originally the one who put solar roofs on the map with his reveal of the Tesla solar roof in 2016. According to Forward Labs, their standing-seam style of solar roofing uses monocrystalline solar cells, which is why it is able to have a higher energy density at 19W per square foot, compared to competitors' 11W per square foot. What really intrigues me is that this product is more than just a solar panel, but a layered system of tempered surface glass, solar cells, and a hidden racking system. There are even various colour options for the roof, and it blends in really well to seem like a normal metal roof. The cost effective nature of the solar roofing gives it a great chance at thriving. It not only looks great, but has optimized energy output and is great for the environment. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on Forward Labs and their first production roofs later in 2018. 2018-04-19 18:52:27 https://www.forwardsolarroofing.com/ 2019 Lincoln Aviator Production Preview http://www.favething.com/a-green/cars/2019-lincoln-aviator-production-preview/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/cars/2019-lincoln-aviator-production-preview/ The 2019 Lincoln Aviator is big, bold and even features a plug-in hybrid engine! With a bold, sleek style and high performance features, the Aviator is my luxury crossover dream. I was a fan of the 2003 model that was discontinued in 2005, and with this model becoming more than a concept vehicle but not quite a production vehicle has me very excited for the release and sale date. The 2019 Lincoln Aviator by the Lincoln Motor Company is a three-row midsize crossover utility vehicle with a rear-wheel drive platform. This SUV is a beast with a harmonious design. Both inside and out, the Aviator is equipped with the newest technology and safety features. The interior features a 12-inch digital display in the gauge cluster and has a wide infotainment screen that is the main hub of many of the controls. The cabin has a horizontal flow, and appealing aesthetics with two colour schemes of the Black Label trim level, Lunar Gray and Shearling Beige. The aluminium trim pieces and leather upholstery really give the SUV a luxurious feel. The front seats have a 30-way power adjustment and a massage feature. The rear seats can recline and slide for easier entry into the third row, which makes it much easier for a tall adult to get in. Under the hood is where the production preview really peaked my interest. Though the Lincoln Motor Company has not announced any horsepower number, it has been stated that the 2019 Lincoln Aviator will be powered by a twin-turbo and a plug-in hybrid engine. Despite featuring the new rear-wheel drive platform, AWD is still available. Rear-wheel will allow the Aviator to have good handling chops, and will be able to compete with the more athletic luxury crossovers. The new Suspension Preview Technology that scans the road with a radar to look for bumps and potholes, as well as adjusts the suspension for less impact is an amazing feature. All in all, there are a ton of new and alluring features of the 2019 Lincoln Aviator. I've just scratched the surface of the entirety. The release is 2019 or 2020, but has yet to be determined. I'll be waiting with baited breath to see the sale date. I would love to drive in a plug-in hybrid SUV. 2018-04-03 13:49:55 http://www.jdpower.com/cars/articles/new-car-previews/2019-lincoln-aviator-preview Bryce Canyon http://www.favething.com/a-green/natural-treasures/bryce-canyon/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/natural-treasures/bryce-canyon/ Bryce Canyon National Park,is a sprawling reserve in southern Utah, it is known for crimson-colored hoodoos, which are spire-shaped rock formations.

The RS Q3 uses the same engine has been used in the TT RS and RS 3 Sportback. All this efficient power pushes the new Audi RS Q3 from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds and up to a top speed of 155 mph. The RS Q3 can be distinguished from the Q3 by its bold and aggressive exterior look seen in all the recently announced RS models. 2013-02-24 04:20:28 http://www.topspeed.com/cars/audi/2014-audi-rs-q3-ar147699.html Volkswagen XL1 http://www.favething.com/a-green/cars/volkswagen-xl1/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/cars/volkswagen-xl1/ Sporting a super-futuristic body, it runs off both electric (27hp) and gas (a 47-hp two-cylinder TDI engine).

Boasting the most powerful production 4-cylinder in the world — a turbocharged, 2.0L inline four cranking out 360hp — this compact four-door hatchback sprints from 0-62 in just 4.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 155mph. 2013-02-15 15:04:28 http://ca.autoblog.com/2013/02/13/mercedes-benz-a45-amg-shows-up-to-fight-the-hottest-hatches/ Audi RS6 Avant http://www.favething.com/a-green/cars/audi-rs6-avant/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/cars/audi-rs6-avant/ The RS6’s body is now made of 20-percent aluminum and features numerous components made from high-strength steel - which results in the new Avant being 220 pounds lighter than its predecessor. RS6 Avant’s interior has been designed with the driver in mind. Under the hood the 2013 RS6 Avant drops its usual V-10 engine in favor of a new twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter TFSI V-8 engine. With two large twin-scroll turbochargers the RS6 Avant delivers a total of 560 horsepower between 5,700 and 6,700 rpm, and 516.29 pound-feet of torque between 1,750 and 5,500 rpm. All this power allows the 2013 RS6 Avant sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds and up to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. Get optional Dynamic Plus package, it can go up to a sphincter-clinching 189 mph. Because Audi's engine in the 2013 RS6 Avant is equipped with a standard start-stop system and innovative thermal management the fuel consumption has dropped 40 percent, to a miserly 24 mpg for an engine with this much power. 2013-02-04 01:55:57 http://www.topspeed.com/cars/audi/2013-audi-rs6-avant-ar123553.html LG 84 inch LED TV with 4K Resolution, Cinema 3D & Smart TV http://www.favething.com/a-green/what-s-cool-in-technology/lg-84-inch-led-tv-with-4k-resolution-cinema-3d-smart-tv/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/what-s-cool-in-technology/lg-84-inch-led-tv-with-4k-resolution-cinema-3d-smart-tv/ Maybe if I won the lottery I could afford the $20000 price tag.

Being able to lay down so much power, it’s no surprise that Mercedes-Benz is claiming the SLS AMG Electric Drive as the world’s fastest production electric sports car. Mercedes says this version of it's gull-winged supercar will do 0 to 62 mph (o-100 kph) in 3.9 seconds, and reach a limited top speed of 155 mph. Replacing the SLS AMG’s 6.2-liter V8 enhine are four electric motors. Each electric motor is connected to an “axially-arranged” transmission and a 60-kWh lithium ion battery pack. The transmission in the Electric Drive SLS, which Mercedes calls AMG Torque Dynamics, makes the electric AMG all-wheel drive and can power or brake wheels individually depending on conditions. With more and more awe inspiring super cars going electric my confidence grows that the electric car is not dead. 2012-09-29 14:15:09 http://www.gizmag.com/mercedes-benz-sls-amg-coupe-electric-drive/24320/ BMW i8 Spyder Concept http://www.favething.com/a-green/electric-sports-cars/bmw-i8-spyder-concept-1/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/electric-sports-cars/bmw-i8-spyder-concept-1/ The i8 has a plug-in powertrain the combines a 129bhp electric motor driving the front wheels and three-cylinder turbo petrol engine sending 220bhp to the rear tires. That's 349bhp in total in a hybrid that is claimed to achieve 100mpg and is able to be charged in less that 2 hours from a regular socket. Just look at it. look at it.

It has an HD screen and a slightly faster processor, otherwise the specs are very much the same. Personally I'm starting to have trouble diving much difference between one tablet and the next. I guess what they say is true 'it's all in the apps'. The Nook HD + seems to be not a huge upgrade over it's smaller companion. Bigger screen, and slightly more impressive specs. You have the option of getting up to 32GB of storage on this model. Meh. The one thing I'll say about these two devices is that he price seems about right. $200 and $300 respectively. 2012-10-01 12:51:11 http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/nook/379003208 ION Audio iLP Digital Conversion Turntable for iPad, iPhone, & iPod touch http://www.favething.com/a-green/what-s-cool-in-technology/ion-audio-ilp-digital-conversion-turntable-for-ipad-iphone-ipod-touch/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/what-s-cool-in-technology/ion-audio-ilp-digital-conversion-turntable-for-ipad-iphone-ipod-touch/ I purchased something similar for a friend of mine as a wedding present recently.

The Allroad is based on the A4 Avant (aka wagon), which is rumored to not be returning to the US for 2013. The Audi Allroad is similar to the Avant, but adds a beefed-up exterior, a taller ride height, larger wheels, recalibrated suspension for off-roading and different interior packages. Under the hood of the A4 Allroad will be Audi's 2.0-litre turbocharged four – the same engine as the 2012 Avant – which delivers 211 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a very smooth and efficient eight-speed automatic transmission, the car will be quick off the line with little turbo lag. With the Audi start-stop system the Allroad saves energy and reduces CO² emissions by automatically switching the engine off when the car comes to a standstill - which is the best way to make an already efficient engine even more economical. 2012-06-25 18:35:11 http://www.lincah.com/2013-audi-a4/2013-audi-a4-allroad-quattro-front-angle-top Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR http://www.favething.com/a-green/digital-cameras-comparison/nikon-af-s-dx-nikkor-18-300mm-f-3-5-5-6g-ed-vr/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/digital-cameras-comparison/nikon-af-s-dx-nikkor-18-300mm-f-3-5-5-6g-ed-vr/ The latest telephoto zoom lens from Nikon packs in the highest zoom ratio we've seen on a DX lens - a 16.7x superzoom. The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm is geared for travel shooters and others who are willing to sacrifice a little bit optical quality for a whole lot of versatility. Those who take their photography very seriously will tell you that a prime lens is better than a zoom every time — and they're correct. Problem is, carrying around a bag of specific lenses isn't exactly convenient for the average shooter - not to mention the expense of multiple lenses. The Nikon 18-300mm VR super zoom lens is a flexible all-in-one lens that covers most of the bases. 2012-06-15 14:06:07 http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-18-300mm-3-5-5-6G-AF-S-Nikkor/dp/B008B14VAK Phoenix Coyotes http://www.favething.com/a-green/hockey/phoenix-coyotes/ http://www.favething.com/a-green/hockey/phoenix-coyotes/ I bet on the Phoenix Coyotes to take the cup.
