Koenigsegg

koenigsegg According to the company's web site, Christian von Koenigsegg has been dreaming of building the perfect sports car since he was five. Along the road to making that dream a reality, he invented (and abandoned) a device called the Chip Player, a forefather of theiPod, and an early version of the Click! snap-together flooring system. Von Koenigsegg was bored with running his import/export company, though, and so in 1994, at the advanced age of 22, he set up Koenigsegg Automotive to funnel his supercarambitions into a real-world automobile. The emblem, a colorful shield, is a riff on the Koenigsegg family coat of arms. From Prototype to Production: Von Koenigsegg himself sketched and modeled the cars he wanted to build. In 1996, two years after he launched the company, a working prototype with full interior was completed. In 2002, the Koenigsegg CC8S was crash-tested and European-legal, and serial production of the company's first model began. Numbers are still small, th

PUMA

Puma Classification and Evolution: The Puma is a large, secretive Cat predominantly found in the mountains from southern Canada to thetip of South America. Also commonly knownas the Cougar and the Mountain Lion , Pumas are able to reach larger sizes than some'big' cat individuals butdespite their large sizethey are believed to bemore closely related tosmaller feline species. Due to their extensive distribution, there are 7 subspecies of Puma all of which share similar characteristics but tend to vary slightly in colour and occasionally size. The Puma is thought to be one of the most adaptable felines on the American continents as they are found in a variety of different habitats and unlike numerous Cat species, the Puma has no markings on it's furleading to it's scientific name Felis concolor which means 'cat of one colour'. Puma Anatomy and Appearance: Due to the fact that the majority of Pumas are found in more mountainous regions, they have a thick coat of

Black holes

imaging Black holes are the cold remnantsof former stars, so dense that no matter—not even light—is able to escape their powerful gravitational pull. While most stars end up as whitedwarfs or neutron stars , black holes are the last evolutionary stage in the lifetimes of enormous stars that had been at least 10 or 15 times as massive as our own sun. When giant stars reach the final stages of their lives they often detonate in cataclysms known as supernovae . Such an explosion scatters most of a star into the void of space but leaves behind alarge "cold" remnant on which fusion no longer takes place. In younger stars, nuclear fusion creates energy and a constant outward pressure that exists in balance with the inward pull of gravity caused by the star's own mass. But in the dead remnants of a massive supernova, no force opposes gravity—so the star begins to collapse in upon itself. With no force to check gravity, a budding black hole shrinks to zero volume—at which point i

Lamborghini

lamborghini Born in 1916, Ferruccio Lamborghini was a self made millionaire, he made a fortune by building tractors from army surplus left by the Allied Forces back in 1945. He started this business from a small garage but soon was able to move to larger buildings because demand for his very powerfull tractors rose. He also started manufactoring oil burners and airconditioning systems after his tractor plant started making lots of money, it turned out his second business also made big money so Ferruccio Lamborghini became one the wealthiest men in Italy. He could afford just about everything he wanted, including high speed GT cars like the Mercedes SL300 and Ferrari he owned alongside the Jaguar he liked very much. But his Ferrari started giving problems with the clutch, the localworkshop couldn't fix this problem so Ferruccio decided to drive to Modena and confront Enzo Ferrari himself. But Enzo, who was known for his arrogance, told this 'farmer' to take a walk, Ferruccio
