La vettura rossa
Hey everyone!!!
I'm super sorry for such a long break between my posts! It just happened that I didn't do almost anything at home just for myself starting from April (!!!). This actually never happened before & I hope it won't happen again,- I'll try to update my blog more often from now!
;-)))
I should say that a lot of things happened during these months: I finally found time to visit Kyoto and Nara, climbed Mt.Fuji together with my friends from Nissan/Renault, went home for summer vacation. & apart of that: two of my best friends got married, Spain became the winner of the World Cup (congratzzz Carlos & Aitor!), FC Zenit managed not to lose a single game in the Russian Premiere League and a super interesting F1 season has almost finished with only 4 GP's left to go!..
So the sketch that ends up these 5 (!) months of silence is a sketch of the red car which I did just for fun and relaxation!.. Nothing seriuos, guyzzz!!
;-P

Aston Martin 2010 New Cars
This is Aston Martin’s new One-77, an ultra-exclusive £1.2m supercar-cum-work-of-art. A maximum 77 of these bespoke creations will be produced, hence the name, each one underpinned by an all-new carbonfibre chassis that supports a 7.0-litre V12 and handcrafted aluminium bodywork. One-77 is merely the project’s working title – the fastest, most exclusive Aston supercar ever will have a snappier name by 2009, when deliveries begin.
Hang on, £1.2m for this Aston Martin One-77?
Well, £1m plus local taxes. That means any UK customer wanting a One-77 will have to cough up £300k more than it costs to own a Bugatti Veyron. The Aston Martin One-77 should be worth it though. Aston promises the car will be totally bespoke, and speaks of having its discerning clientele involved in every stage of their car’s development.

Nissan Sentra New Cars 2010
The just-introduced sixth-generation Nissan Sentra has grown up. It's larger, especially inside, very well-equipped, yet still reasonably priced and offers a more upscale experience than expected from a compact sedan.
The debut of the smaller and less-expensive Versa as the new entry-level Nissan has allowed the Sentra's increased stature and status. Underneath its recognizably Nissan styling lies the company's new "C" front-engine, front-wheel drive platform. With a 5.9-inch increase in wheelbase but only a 2.3-inch growth in overall length, and greater height and width, the new Sentra emphasizes passenger space.
Power is from a new 140 horsepower, 2.0-liter engine, which, unusually, is matched to either a six-speed manual or optional continuously-variable (CVT) transmission. The chassis is standard for the class, a front-engine, front-wheel drive unibody with independent strut front suspension and a torsion beam axle in the rear, but the suspension tuning is better than average, providing both a comfortable ride and good handling.
There are three trim levels, base, S, and SL. The base model is well-equipped, with power windows and door locks, microfilter air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD audio system with an auxiliary input jack for external audio players, a 60/40 split flip and fold rear seat, and side-curtain airbags among its standard features. The S adds to that with larger, 16-inch, wheels, power outside mirrors, an upgraded audio system, interior upgrades, and available options. The SL is almost a pocket luxury cruiser, with leather-trimmed seats and most of the options available in the lesser models as standard equipment. These include the CVT, antilock brakes, the "Intelligent Key" keyless ignition and entry system, hands-free wiring for Bluetooth¨-equipped cell phones, and convenient touches like a CD holder behind the driver's sun visor and the "Divide-N-Hide" trunk partition system. Either XM or Sirius satellite radio systems are available in the S and SL trim levels.
Entry level it is not, but with prices ranging from $14,750 for the base model through $15,650 for the S and $18,400 for the SL, the 2007 Nissan Sentra is not a budget-killer, either. I've just spent a week with a well-equipped S model with the manual transmission. It was a spacious and comfortable car with a sporty personality.

FERRARI ENZO XX
The Ferrari Enzo XX is the latest work from car tuning specialists Edo Competition
The new tuning kit gives the Ferrari a complete engine makeover by adding new steel cylinders, pistons, camshafts, valve springs, and Titan connecting rods. Naming it the XX, the Ferrari Enzo by Edo Competition also features new oil cooling piston pipes, oil pump, exhaust manifolds, aftermarket clutch, and an air-ram system with carbon fiber air intake and new filter.
Additional modifications include a carbon-ceramic braking system and new fuel cooling system. The Ferrari Enzo XX rides on black racing wheels with large Michelin high performance tires.
An exciting change for the Ferrari is a stainless steel catalytic converter that allows the driver to choose between two different exhaust notes, and it is controlled by a switch mounted on the dashboard.
