The 2013 Harley-Davidson Sportster SuperLow XL883L has all the
motorcycle features you want for easy handling. This easy to ride
motorcycle offered at an affordable price makes this all new motorcycle
one to try. The Harley SuperLow features: Sportster tank, longer travel

The Evolution® engine—known in certain crowds as the Blockhead—was first
bolted to the frame of a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle back in 1984. Born
from legendary Shovelhead and Ironhead engines, the Evolution® engine
broke new ground in displacement innovation while maintaining the hunger
for power, durability and proven reliability that The Motor Company was
built on.
The factory installed next-generation security system features a
hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicle
electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the
bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the
work. It’s this attention to details and security that make
Harley-Davidson® motorcycles unique.

2014 Rolls Royce Wraith
The new Wraith features the company’s usual V-12 engine, but the output has been considerably improved to 624 horsepower and a peak torque of 590 pound-feet.
The engine is
mated to an eight-speed automatic ZF transmission and sprints the car
from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds - a 0.3 seconds improvement over
the Ghost.
Rolls Royce also made a series of changes to the suspension and steering
system. The suspension has been tuned to minimize body roll and offer
improved handling. The steering system has also been improved to be
heavier at high speeds and lighter at low speeds.
The new Rolls Royce Wraith will be put on sale in the final quarter of
2013 and in Europe prices will start from €245,000 (about $320,000 at
the current exchange rates).

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
The beast under the hood is an all new direct-injection 6.2-liter small-block V-8 engine dubbed the LT1. It produces 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful standard Corvette ever launched.
Engine Specifications:
Displacement | 6.2-liters |
Bore & stroke | 4.06 in. x 3.62 in. |
Block material | Cast aluminum |
Cylinder head material | Cast aluminum |
Valvetrain | Overhead valve, two valves per cylinder |
Fuel delivery | Direct injection |
Compression ratio | 11.5:1 |
Horsepower | 450 (est.) |
Torque (lb-ft) | 450 (est.) |
To cope with stringent carbon emissions and fuel
efficiency regulations , the Corvette Stingray sports an Active Fuel
Management system that will shut down four cylinders, leaving the`Vette
with a 3.1-liter 4-pot engine, for unmatched fuel efficiency when V-8
power isn’t needed . The engine will also feature direct injection and
variable valve timing to help it use less fuel. In fact, GM anticipates
greater than a 26 mpg highway city rating for the 2014 Corvette, which
is quite spectacular when compared to its petrol-chugging rivals.
While
the engine has a dual personality, where one sips fuel
and the other fires all eight cylinders like a madman, which — thanks to
the weight savings of the new aluminum chassis, and a carbon-fiber hood
and roof — warps the ’Vette Stingray from 0 to 60 mph in under four
seconds and to an anticipated top speed of 180 to 190 mph.courtesy @ topspeed.com
