The Barabus TKR (also known as the TKR) is a supercar designed by the British company, Barabus Sportscars Ltd. The vehicle was designed to compete with other high-powered supercars, like the Bugatti Veyron and the ultimate aim of the car's creators was to achieve superior performance versus the competition, as well as suitability on public roads. At the time of its official release in mid-2006, the Barabus, Italian-built exotic car with twin-turbo 6.0-liter V8 produces 1005 bhp. The motor will propel the all carbon-fiber car (body and chassis) to 60 mph in a mare 1.67 seconds, and on to a top speed of 270 mph. The TKR is designed to compete with world's fastest, quickest, best handling, most luxurious grand touring cars in the world.

The TKR uses an eight cylinder engine with 6.0 litres (1.6 USgal) capacity and is equipped with two turbochargers. The engine produces 1005 horsepower, which classifies it among the most powerful production cars in the world, including the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, Bristol Fighter T and SSC Ultimate Aero. An additional, unique feature is a camera and monitor in place of the conventional rearview mirror (a small camera is mounted in the rear of the car for the purpose of feeding a monitor located where the rearview mirror traditionally sits). The interior of the TKR is made from a combination of fine leather and suede, while the accents are provided by super light construction materials (such as brushed aluminium or carbon fiber) combined with painted highlights.

The Bugatti Veyron may no longer be the world's fastest car. Barabus has 1005 horsepower supercar that is capable of doing zero to 60 mph in 1.67 seconds. What's more, the car has a top speed of 270 mph (nearly 20 more than the Veyron). Power comes from a 6.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged with dual intercoolers. The car has a full carbon fibre body and chassis.

A Very Human-Like Robot Invented by Japanese Engineers




Actroid-F Robot Female Nurse

 Actroid-F Robot-Male Version

I couldn't believe! This is really amazing! Two human look-a-like robots invented by Japanese engineers. They can talk to each other! 

The Japanese engineers often get asked why they made a female robot, so they decided to come out with male version as well. Mechanically, the two robots, are the same, and if the wigs off, their faces are the same too. They have created the male appearance using a wig and cosmetics. This makes Actroid-F (Actroid is a type of android (humanoid robot) with strong visual human-likeness developed by Osaka University and manufactured by Kokoro Company Ltd.

Because these robots look human, they have a very strong presence.  Their psychological impact on people is much bigger than with robots that are simply shaped likes people, or animal shaped robots. In their research, when they use these robots in the field, the robots match their surroundings and do not look out of places.
