How often have V12 engines changed to supercharged turbodiesel ?
Well there have been made impressive improvement in the ratio of Horse Power and Carbon emission for supercars and not only.
People do seem to care about the environment at all, but there are exceptions:
the Hummer series (H1,H2 and H3).
+James Clarkson from Top Gear made a joke about this: a hummer polute more then an entire farm of cows.
And to be shure there will be a geater polluter and annoing car, another street legal car is :
THE MARAUDER (probably the most useless and unpractical, dangerous and uncomfortable "legal street car")
and it goes like this:
Here are some interesesting facts, that can be nominated for more guiness records:
[From Paramount Press Release]:
1. Marauder is actually three vehicles in one. It can be produced as an infantry patrol vehicle, a command centre and even an ambulance!
2. With long range fuel tanks added it can travel an extra 500km – making it ideal for long range patrols.
3. Marauder can survive explosions of 14kg of TNT under its wheels and 7kg under its hull – making it one of the world’s toughest vehicles.
4. Whether sitting in the boiling heat of +55°C or the freezing temperatures of -32°C, occupants can stay cool or warm with the ultra modern climate control system.
5. Marauder can literally swim! It has a fording depth of half the vehicle – making it ideal for rugged and wet terrain.
6. It has special ‘run flat’ tyre inserts which means that the tyres can be perforated by 12.7mm bullet rounds and still keep rolling for at least another 50km!
7. Marauder weighs around 15 tons but can be loaded up to 18 tons when fully laden!
8. The vehicle can be fitted with an IED jammer – making it the enemy of terrorists worldwide.
9. Anti blast seats protect troops from roadside bombs and rocket attack – keeping them safe from the huge force of explosions, without just protecting the vehicle.
10. With a maximum speed of 120 Km/h the Marauder is no slow coach.
Who would even buy something like that, shure has an inferiority syndrom or wants to SCARE PEOPLE OFF, or simply are mad like Hammond
Compare to it`s little H2 cousin, it looks frightening, exactly to intimidate your traffic enemies !
When will the military stop selling high specialisized trucks like these to the population ?
