Guy Drives From UK to Italy in Classic Ferraris to Pick Up New LaFerrari

This man owns all the Ferraris. From the GTO to the

F40— heck, even the F50 and the Enzo. London

collector James Hunt has nearly every pony car you can

think of in his London garage. There was one, though,

that he didn’t have yet — the stunning LaFerrari.

So, being the wealthy collector that he is, Hunt decided

a prestigious road trip was in order to gather up the

latest addition to his collection. Thanks to the generosity

of some friends and family, they all traveled about 900

miles, from London, in his four iconic Ferraris to pick up

his fifth.

Other than the fact it must have been one glorious drive,

it makes for one insanely cool photo-shoot. Listen to

what Hunt has to say about Ferrari, and his collection,

below. (Jeff Perez)

Ferrari 330 P4 is a Stunning Red Bolide

There are many beautiful cars in the world, and then

there is the Ferrari 330 P4 that outdoes practically all

of them. Combining more curves than Christina

Hendricks and the singing voice of Adele, it might just

be one of the most aesthetically pleasing cars ever

made. In its latest video, Petrolicious takes a look at

the sole remaining original P4 in existence and talks to

the lucky man who gets to drive it.

Ferrari Corsa instructor Nick Longhi has the enviable

task about getting behind the wheel of the V12 racer in

this video, and he says it doesn't drive the way you

might think. The P4 isn't out to bite drivers who aren't

paying attention. Instead, he claims that the car just

does everything right and helps the person at the

controls be that much better.

Historically, the P4 was Ferrari's attempt in the 1967

season to take on the dominating Ford GT40. The

Prancing Horse's major achievement that year was a

1-2-3 finish in the 24 Hours of Daytona, but it couldn't

quite beat the Ford at the famous race at Le Mans.



Arguably, the later Ferrari 312PB that Petrolicious

highlighted a few weeks ago sounds better, but it's got

absolutely nothing on the voluptuously elegant design of

the P4. Scroll down to learn about this thoroughbred of a

Prancing Horse with some fantastic cinematography.

Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale Up for Grabs

RM Auctions is to offer the first of only three 1964 Ferrari

275 GTB/C Speciales, chassis number 06701, at its

Monterey sale in California.

Few cars possess such desirability than this rare

example, with its two sibling cars unlikely to ever

become available, 06701's offering is a historic and

unrepeatable opportunity to acquire one of the world's

most important cars when it goes under the hammer

during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance week.

The headline attraction for RM Auctions' flagship

Monterey sale is predicted to comfortably achieve eight-

figures when it crosses the podium in California next

month.

The 275 GTB/C is the first of only three Berlinetta

Competizione cars built by Ferrari for FIA

homologation and factory development to compete at

the highest levels in endurance racing. Each vehicle

was uniquely hand-built, and all three were fitted with

super-lightweight aluminum bodywork and powered by

a type 213/Comp dry-sump engine topped with six

Weber carburetors, as first seen in the 250 LM. While

one of its sibling cars, chassis 06885 won its class at

Le Mans, 06701 was actually used as a road car from

new.

"06701's almost unbelievable rarity and high

performance are matched only by its stunning good

looks. Simply put, this is one of the most important

Ferraris in the world, and absolutely one of the most

important motor cars ever to come to auction," says

Shelby Myers, Senior Specialist, RM Auctions. "These

cars were a clear evolution of the GTO concept, one of

which set a record at Le Mans that stands to this day.

06701's two sister cars are in highly respected private

collections, from which they will certainly not emerge

in the near future" comments Myers.

The cars first owner was a successful businessman

who used it as his road car before one of the

subsequent owners maintained the vehicle for a 25

years. It later passed onto Ferrari collector Brandon

Wang who drove the car competitively in various

historic events, including the International Festival at

Goodwood, Tutte Le Ferrari in Mugello, and later, the

1997 Tour Auto, where it was piloted by Derek Hill,

with his father, 1961 Formula One World Champion

Phil Hill, serving as navigator.



Following a restoration which saw the car refinished in

its current two-tone silver and grey color scheme which it

wore very early in its life, the Ferrari 275 GTB/C

Speciale came into the ownership of its current owner. It

has been occasionally displayed at selected events,

including the 2002 FCA National Concours and the 2005

Cavallino Classic and it also took to the track at Laguna

Seca in 2005 for the Monterey Historics.

"06701 is a car whose appearance at auction will almost

certainly never happen again. One car, chassis 06885,

has been owned since 1970 by noted enthusiast Preston

Henn, who has clearly stated that he intends to continue

enjoying the jewel of his collection, which some

speculate may be the first motor car of any kind to sell

for the magic 'nine-figure' mark, should it ever become

available," adds auctioneer Max Girardo. "The third and

final car of the series, chassis 07185, is also part of a

prominent private collection and very unlikely to come up

for sale in the near future."

The Monterey sale takes place from 15-16 August.

For Sale: Four Ferraris for $30 million+

Another day, another multi-million dollar Ferrari auction.

Today it's the turn of the effortlessly graceful 250 GT

California Spider that headlines a spectacular line-up

of Prancing Horses.

Ah yes, the GT California Spider. Easily the prettiest

Ferrari ever made, no? This is a SWB version, with the

covered headlights that Scaglietti only applied to 37 of

the 56 Spiders built.

Not only that, but this particular car comes with a hard-

top as well, again one of few California drop-tops to

feature it. We're told it's lived a charmed life, including

ownership in the custody of Oscar-nominated actress

Barbara Hershey, as well as featuring at events like

the Concorso Italiano and Cavallino Classic.

And after a 14 year period, this car is now coming up

for sale at Gooding & Company's Pebble Beach sale

in August. The price estimate? A whopping $15

million, which is around £8.8 million. No surprise,

given that Chris Evans spent £5.5 million in 2008 on a

California Spider. Which he then grudgingly let James

May drive.

That's not all, though. There's a gorgeous 1962 Ferrari

250 GT SWB Berlinetta up for sale too (35k on the

clock, fully restored), along with a very cool 365 GTB/4

Daytona Competizione from 1969 (raced at Le Mans

by the North American Racing Team ub 1971, finished

5th, estimated to sell for $7 million), and a 1959 250

GT that's expected to go for around $6 million.

You suddenly want to get yourself to California next

month, don't you? (Vijay Pattni)



Sammy Hagar joins the LaFerrari club, vowing to never drive 55

Calif., nestled amid a series of industrial warehouses.

But the car parked in the driveway — a green Ferrari

456 GT — begins to give away the automotive plot.

Just past the non-descript front door, a hallway brims

with photos, gold records and other memorabilia from

the rocker’s tours of duty as a solo artist, Van Halen

front man and Chicken foot founder. But at the back of

the building, past an impressive recording studio, is a

cavernous room with a dozen sports cars. While

marques such as Aston Martin, Lotus and Ford take a

bow, this space is really all about one brand: Ferrari.

Hagar owns a half-dozen Prancing Horses, all of which

I’ve seen him drive routinely over the decade that I’ve

known him. Now he’s on the road to adding one more: a

$1.4 million LaFerrari, the company’s latest supercar

over which collectors the world over have been battling.

Only 499 will be built, and one is destined for Hagar’s

garage, a prospect that leaves the 66-year-old sounding

more like a giddy six-year-old.

“I couldn’t be more excited, and I’m buying it to drive

it,” says Hagar, whose passion for speed is neatly

summarized in his autobiographical 1984 hit, “I Can’t

Drive 55.”

“I suspect I might even have to take some more

driving courses to really be able to pilot this baby with

confidence,” he says. “From everything I’ve read about

the LaFerrari, you need to recalibrate your brain when

you get inside."

While the LaFerrari's 950 hp will push Hagar’s driving

skills to the limit, the musician is no stranger to fast

Maranello steeds. His first purchase dates back to the

late ‘70s and a four-headlight 330 GT 2+2. When his

solo album “Standing Hampton” raced up the charts a

few years later, it was time to upgrade to a 1982 512

BBi, a black beauty that starred in Hagar’s music video

for “I Can't Drive 55.”

That car remains in his stable today, alongside a 400i

automatic coupe, an iconic and increasingly valuable

Daytona, the aforementioned 456 2+2, and a custom-

painted (by Ferrari) black with red stripe 599 GTB.

Although he recently sold a prized 275 GTS to help

finance the pricey LaFerrari, Hagar says he has no

intention of letting any more cars go.

“I’m lucky because I can get this new car but keep the

rest of them,” says Hagar. And why so many of this

one marque? “I don’t know. I’ve eyed other supercars,

like the Bugatti Veyron, but in the end I have always

felt so connected to Ferraris.”



In truth, Hagar’s growing collection isn’t the result of his

rock star status. While his Van Halen years produced

some of the band’s best-selling albums (and an ongoing

debate as to which incarnation of the band — Hagar vs

original front man David Lee Roth — is best), the

singer’s entrepreneurial bent is responsible for most of

his lucre. Hagar’s tequila company, Cabo Wabo, named

after his bar in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, sold a few

years back to Gruppo Campari for nearly $100 million.

Not that Hagar is sitting on his liquid laurels. He

continues to record and tour; he and drummer Jason

Bonham, guitarist Vic Johnson and ex-Van Halen

bassist Michael Anthony are on tour this summer as

Sammy Hagar & Friends: A Journey through the History

of Rock. Hagar’s Beach Bar rum and Beach Bar and

Grill restaurants donates proceeds to a range of

children’s charities.

On a recent break in rehearsals for the summer tour,

Hagar immediately diverts the conversation back to his

LaFerrari, for which he recently plunked down a

$250,000 deposit at his local Ferrari of San Francisco

dealership. He laughs at the mention of the cost.

“When they first told me about the price, they said it

would be around $800,000. I thought, ‘OK, fine,’ and

then I found out they were talking euros not dollars and I

flipped,” he says, laughing. “I thought someone was

pulling my leg. I guess not.”

Truth is, a few years ago Hagar was desperately

searching for an Enzo, Ferrari’s 2002 supercar that had

initially left him cold.

“I saw it when it first came out at a racetrack, and I

don’t know why but I just didn’t get it at all,” he says.

“Then a few years ago I was at Quail Lodge (for their

annual summer motorsports gathering) and I fell in

love. Everyone I saw was around $1.7 million and now

I hear they’re even more because of the LaFerrari

coming out.”

When he couldn’t find the right Enzo, he approached a

few friends in Ferrari’s inner circle and expressed an

interest in getting the new supercar. “That wasn’t a

given, I soon learned,” he says. “There are plenty of

collectors who have far more than I do. But I was

committed and things worked out.” (Ferrari chairman

Luca di Montezemolo reportedly approves every

LaFerrari customer to weed out speculators, and

buyers typically must already own multiple Ferraris.)

The next step will be to fly to factory headquarters in

Maranello sometime this winter in order to be fitted for

the LaFerrari’s trademark custom driver’s seat, as well

as choose the car’s color palette and interior trim.

Although known for decades as the Red Rocker,

Hagar is sure of one thing: his LaFerrari won’t be

classic Rosso Ferrari, or even anything close.

“The way I see it, a car this radical doesn’t need to be

painted red, because it already screams red,” he says.

Although many of his cars are in fact black, “even that

color now seems too flashy to me. Early in my rock

and roll days, sure, I wanted to shock and impress, but

as I get older I really don’t like that. The color for my

car will say elegance.”



He thinks he knows what that will be, though he’s honing

in on a particular shade: white, along with a cream

leather interior accented by carbon fiber.

“Whatever I come up with has to feel timeless to me,” he

says. “I don’t ever plan to sell it, but if I wanted to or had

to one day, at least I won’t be one of the hundreds of red

ones out there.”

For Hagar, what is perhaps strangest of all about this

particular automotive experience is that it involves huge

money for a machine he has yet to see in the flesh. But,

he says, sometimes - as with a good riff, lyric or band

mate — you go with your gut. And if you’re ever in Marin

County in 2015 and see a white LaFerrari cruising

around, you can bet who’ll be at the wheel.

“I have no doubt this car will be amazing,” he says.

“Bring it on.” (Marco R. della Cava)

Is Advanced Microchip Implant in Michael Schumacher's Future?

While Michael Schumacher continues to recover from a

serious head injury suffered in a skiing accident on Dec.

29, his family may be considering a non-traditional

course of treatment. According to the London Daily Mail

in a published report on Tuesday, Croatian

Neurosurgeons have developed a microchip

implanting technique that may be able to help

Schumacher to walk and talk again. That microchip

technology has had some success in at least one

other case of paralysis, according to one of the

doctors in the report.

There have been no recent official reports of

Schumacher's condition, but it is being reported in the

Daily Mail that the seven-time Formula One champion

is awake from his coma. However, Schumacher

remains paralyzed and is only able to communicate

through blinking. He is recovering in a Swiss clinic,

and doctors hope that Schumacher will soon be able

to sit in a wheelchair and control that chair with his

mouth.

Schumacher has been a the University Hospital

Lausanne in Switzerland since June 16.In recent

months, it is believed the Schumacher's wife, Corinna,

has transformed a part of the Schumacher estate into

a medical facility in the hopes that Schumacher will be

able to continue his recovery at home. (Autoweek)

Maserati Exceeds 2013 MEA Sales in First Half of 2014



Italian luxury car manufacturer Maserati continues its

global expansion strategy and reports that sales in the

Middle East and Africa (MEA) region have increased by

152 per cent in the first half of 2014 compared with last

year’s result of the same period.

In fact, the result of the first six months of 2014 exceeds

the sales of 2013 overall. Globally, Maserati aims to

achieve an annual sales volume of 50,000 units over the

coming years, primarily through new products and

entering new markets. Within the MEA region, the trident

brand reported its highest sales in the UAE.

The market grew by over 226 per cent since last year.

Second highest - in terms of vehicles delivered to

customers - is Saudi Arabia, registering 231 per cent

growth. Indeed, all countries of the Middle East are

growing in double and triple digits. Total numbers,

however, remain very exclusive.

The most successful model of the first half is the new

Maserati Ghibli, which was launched earlier in the year

and received a very warm welcome by customers

wanting to realize their dream of owning a Maserati.

Maserati’s flagship, the Quattroporte, grew by a further

79 per cent following its introduction in 2013. The

introduction of a further engine variant, a 330hp V6, is

expected in the third quarter of this year.

At the same time, the legendary GranTurismo and

GranCabrio will experience a revival with the arrival of

the limited Centennial Edition. The further

development of its network infrastructure, including a

new showroom in Lebanon among others, allows

Maserati to be closer to its exclusive clientele in the

region.

“The MEA region and the emerging markets in general

allow us to grow while maintaining our exclusivity in

the existing markets. With the new Quattroporte and

Ghibli we have a very strong product portfolio

complementing the GranTurismo and GranCabrio.

Over the coming years we look forward to a new

introduction in the SUV segment and the Maserati

Alfieri, which was first presented at the 2014 Geneva

Motor Show,” said Umberto Cini, managing director of

Maserati global overseas markets.

Maserati celebrates its centennial this year - an

auspicious occasion as Maserati is at a turning point in

its history. The luxury brand celebrates its centenary

with an event at its headquarters in Modena, Italy, in

September for which thousands of Maserati fans and

owners from around the world will gather for a

succession of races, exhibitions, parades, visits to the

two Maserati factories and a concours d'elegance.



Maserati Birthday Bash hits Silverstone

The Maserati marque will continue its 100th birthday

celebrations at this weekend’s Silverstone Classic event.

Maserati will be the official ‘Celebration Marque’ at this

year’s classic racing extravaganza, and as part of the

centenary celebrations the Northamptonshire circuit will

play hosts to one of the largest gatherings of Maserati’s

ever seen in the UK.

Peter Denton, Region Manager Maserati North Europe,

said: “The UK is a crucially important market for

Maserati and the level of support and enthusiasm for the

brand here is outstanding. With 2014 being our

Centenary and sales up 223 per cent year-on-year it is

an exciting time for us. The Silverstone Classic promises

to be a fantastic showcase of Maserati’s glorious racing

heritage and the arrival in showrooms of the company’s

new Ghibli and Quattroporte Diesel models heralds the

beginning of another exciting chapter in the Maserati

story.”

Maserati’s association with the home of British

motorsport goes back for more than half the marque’s

existence, with Luigi Villoresi piloting a Maserati to

victory in the first British Grand Prix to be held at

Silverstone in 1948.

A special parade of Maserati’s will be headed by Sir

Stirling Moss, reunited with the legendary 250F Grand

Prix car he drove to success in the 1950s. Also

representing the Maserati heritage will be special

guest Alfieri Maserati, son of company co-founder

Ernesto Maserati.

Modern classics bearing the Maserati Trident badge,

such as the GranTurismo MC Stradale, will also be

represented at the event.

Gallery: £2.1 Million Pininfarina Sergio Concept At Ferrari London



The gorgeous Pininfarina Sergio Concept is on display

at HR Owen in the Berkeley Hotel Ferrari showroom,

London. The concept was made to honor Sergio

Pinifarina, who contributed in striking the bond between

Ferrari and Pininfarina that propagated Ferraris such as

the 360, 328 and the legendary Ferrari F40.

Sergio passed away at the age of 85 in 2012 and in

2013, the Pininfarina Sergio Concept was built as a

tribute to him. It is based on the Ferrari 458 Italia and

carry’s the standard 458 drivetrain which is a 4.5-litre V8

that produces 570 hp, making the car sprint from 0-100

km/h in less than 3.4 seconds and reaching a top speed

of up to 320 km/h.

The attention to detail and design features on the

beautifully crafted car are phenomenal. The rear engine

cover is a masterpiece, the wheels are perfect and the

interior is opulent yet functional. Six examples have

been commissioned for productions for an astonishing

£2.1 million! We imagine the car, which has no front or

rear windshield, must be amazing to drive. Anyone have

a spare £2.1 million for us?

Stunning Hong Kong Mansion Has Room for Owner’s Ferrari!

Fascinating homes often come and go just like fashion

trends. One year, they can completely redefine our

ideas of practical, modern architecture and the next

year, something better comes along. However, the

following house in Sai Kung, Hong Kong courtesy of

Millimeter Interior Design is one we think could really

inspire similar designs in the future and for good

reason.

The house is rather narrow but considering the

booming population and small size of Hong Kong, this

is hardly surprising. What is impressive is just how the

space has been utilized. The house features a split-

level, three-story design with a two car garage

featuring massive glass windows being right next to

the kitchen and living room on the ground floor.



James Garner: Actor, Racer, Car Guy Dies at 86

James Garner, a lifelong racing enthusiast who might

have really gone places in motorsports if his acting

career hadn’t kept getting in the way, died in Los

Angeles July 19 at age 86. The cause of death is not

known, but Garner had suffered a stroke in 2008 and

had quintuple bypass surgery in 1988.

Garner is best-known to the public for two popular

roles: Jim Rockford, the wise-cracking private eye who

often used his gold Pontiac Firebird to nab (or escape

from) bad guys; and as Bret Maverick in the early-'60s

TV western. But he will always be best-known to race

fans as the talented American driver Pete Aron taking

on the Europeans in the movie "Grand Prix." In that

John Frankenheimer hit, one of the top-10 highest-

grossing movies of 1966, Garner got to work with the

best F1 drivers of the day, including Phil Hill, Graham

Hill, Fangio, Jim Clark, Jack Brabham, Dan Gurney,

Ritchie Ginther and Bruce McLaren.

"Grand Prix" has been hailed by many as the best

portrayal of real racing ever filmed, along with Steve

McQueen’s "Le Mans." Indeed, McQueen was

originally slotted to star in "Grand Prix," but an early

disagreement with producers led to his pulling out and

Garner getting the role. Unlike some of his co-stars

who couldn’t drive at all, Garner did much of his own

driving in the movie -- and fell in love with racing as a

result. Subsequently, some of the real drivers in the

film, including Graham Hill, reportedly told him he

could have done well as real driver.

"He is a fantastic gentleman," said Bob Bondurant,

one of the real Grand Prix drivers in the movie and the

one who trained the actors to be drivers. "We trained

at Willow Springs race track for five days. Trained with

several of the actors. Jim was the best guy by far. He

loved it. I looked over at him as we were going down

the straight there at Willow and he was laughing, he

was having such a great time."



A friendship with "Grand Prix" cast members Bondurant

and Dick Guldstrand lead to the creation of Garner’s

race team “American International Racing,” after the

movie wrapped. AIR fielded L88 Corvettes and Lola

T70s at Daytona and Sebring, with leading sports car

drivers of the day Scooter Patrick, Davey Jordan, Lothar

Mothschenbacher and Guldstrand. The team also

fielded a John Surtees Formula A/F5000 car in late 1969

that was featured in the documentary "The Racing

Scene" starring James Garner as himself.

Garner also famously drove a wild Vic Hickey-built Olds

442 4x4 in the NORRA Baja 1000 in 1969. That car was

aptly dubbed “The Grabber.” Garner’s co-driver in that

epic was Scooter Patrick.

Garner stayed interested in racing his whole life, driving

the pace car at the Indy 500 three times, in 1975, ’77

and ’85. He also appeared in TV commercials for Mazda

and Chevrolet.

His marriage to Lois Fleishman Clarke in 1956 was one

of Hollywood’s longest unions. (Mark Vaughn)

This Is A One-Owner 1964 Ferrari 250 GT/L 'Lusso' Barn Find

It's amazing to see a one-owner Ferrari 250 Lusso in

2014, let alone a barn find. Patina has never looked

better and you only need around $1,400,000 -

$1,800,000 to call it yours.

This image of a "running" 250 Lusso barn find

surfaced on DK Engineering's Facebook, and guess

what - RM Auctions will have the car at Monterey next

month. Here's what they know about this very special

find:

According to Ferrari, the car offered here, chassis

number 5233 GT, was originally delivered to the

Roman dealer in November of 1963, finished in

Azzuro (Italiver 19278M) with Nuvola interior. It is

believed that it was purchased as a new car four

months later by a Pakistani businessman involved in

onyx mining. The gentleman was a frequent visitor to

the Mediterranean area on business trips and, during

one of those trips, acquired his new Ferrari in Rome.

After the journey to Pakistan, the car arrived in its new

home and was registered in Karachi on May 5, 1964.

The Lusso has remained in the same family until now

and therefore for nearly 50 years! During that time it is

believed to have covered only 26,000 kilometers. The

Lusso only left Pakistan for the first time in 50 years in

2014 when it was sent to a marque specialist for an

inspection. As such it has been confirmed that the

car's engine, gearbox, and rear axle are all matching-

numbers components to this chassis. During the

family's ownership, the body was refinished in

traditional Rosso Corsa, but the interior remains intact

and appears to be the car's original trim. (Mate’

AUTOMOTIVE TECH

Drag Coefficient

In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly

denoted as: cd, cx or cw) is a dimensionless quantity

that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an

object in a fluid environment, such as air or water. It is

used in the drag equation, where a lower drag

coefficient indicates the object will have less

aerodynamic or hydrodynamic drag. The drag

coefficient is always associated with a particular

surface area.[1]

The drag coefficient of any object comprises the

effects of the two basic contributors to fluid dynamic

drag: skin friction and form drag. The drag coefficient

of a lifting airfoil or hydrofoil also includes the effects of

lift-induced drag.[2][3] The drag coefficient of a

complete structure such as an aircraft also includes

the effects of interference drag.



The drag coefficient is defined as:

where: is the drag force, which is by definition the force

component in the direction of the flow velocity,[6] is the

mass density of the fluid,[7] is the speed of the object

relative to the fluid and is the reference area.

The reference area depends on what type of drag

coefficient is being measured. For automobiles and

many other objects, the reference area is the projected

frontal area of the vehicle. This may not necessarily be

the cross sectional area of the vehicle, depending on

where the cross section is taken. For example, for a

sphere (note this is not the surface area = ).

For airfoils, the reference area is the planform area.

Since this tends to be a rather large area compared to

the projected frontal area, the resulting drag coefficients

tend to be low: much lower than for a car with the same

drag and frontal area, and at the same speed.

Airships and some bodies of revolution use the

volumetric drag coefficient, in which the reference area

is the square of the cube root of the airship volume.

Submerged streamlined bodies use the wetted surface

area.

Two objects having the same reference area moving at

the same speed through a fluid will experience a drag

force proportional to their respective drag coefficients.

Coefficients for unstreamlined objects can be 1 or more,

for streamlined objects much less.

The drag equation: is essentially a statement that the

drag force on any object is proportional to the density

of the fluid and proportional to the square of the

relative speed between the object and the fluid.

Cd is not a constant but varies as a function of speed,

flow direction, object position, object size, fluid density

and fluid viscosity. Speed, kinematic viscosity and a

characteristic length scale of the object are

incorporated into a dimensionless quantity called the

Reynolds number or. is thus a function of . In

compressible flow, the speed of sound is relevant and

is also a function of Mach number.



For a certain body shape, the drag coefficient only

depends on the Reynolds number, Mach number and

the direction of the flow. For low Mach number, the drag

coefficient is independent of Mach number. Also, the

variation with Reynolds number within a practical range

of interest is usually small, while for cars at highway

speed and aircraft at cruising speed the incoming flow

direction is also more-or-less the same. So the drag

coefficient can often be treated as a constant.[8]

For a streamlined body to achieve a low drag coefficient,

the boundary layer around the body must remain

attached to the surface of the body for as long as

possible, causing the wake to be narrow. A high form

drag results in a broad wake. The boundary layer will

transition from laminar to turbulent providing the

Reynolds number of the flow around the body is high

enough. Larger velocities, larger objects, and lower

viscosities contribute to larger Reynolds numbers.[9]

Drag coefficient Cd for a sphere as a function of

Reynolds number Re, as obtained from laboratory

experiments. The solid line is for a sphere with a smooth

surface, while the dashed line is for the case of a rough

surface. The numbers along the line indicate several

flow regimes and associated changes in the drag

coefficient:

•2: attached flow (Stokes flow) and steady separated

flow,

•3: separated unsteady flow, having a laminar flow

boundary layer upstream of the separation, and

producing a vortex street,

•4: separated unsteady flow with a laminar boundary

layer at the upstream side, before flow separation, with

downstream of the sphere a chaotic turbulent wake,

•5: post-critical separated flow, with a turbulent

boundary layer.

For other objects, such as small particles, one can no

longer consider that the drag coefficient is constant,

but certainly is a function of Reynolds

number.[10][11][12] At a low Reynolds number, the

flow around the object does not transition to turbulent

but remains laminar, even up to the point at which it

separates from the surface of the object. At very low

Reynolds numbers, without flow separation, the drag

force is proportional to instead of ; for a sphere this is

known as Stokes law. Reynolds number will be low for

small objects, low velocities, and high viscosity

fluids.[9]

A equal to 1 would be obtained in a case where all of

the fluid approaching the object is brought to rest,

building up stagnation pressure over the whole front

surface. The top figure shows a flat plate with the fluid

coming from the right and stopping at the plate. The

graph to the left of it shows equal pressure across the

surface. In a real flat plate, the fluid must turn around

the sides, and full stagnation pressure is found only at

the center, dropping off toward the edges as in the

lower figure and graph. Only considering the front

side, the of a real flat plate would be less than 1;

except that there will be suction on the back side: a

negative pressure (relative to ambient). The overall of

a real square flat plate perpendicular to the flow is

often given as 1.17.[citation needed] Flow patterns

and therefore for some shapes can change with the

Reynolds number and the roughness of the surfaces.

Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari Ferrari Titanium Yellow Watch Hands-On

It should not come as a major surprise that a year after

the successful debut of the original limited edition

Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari watch, Hublot returns with two

more versions. When I last checked (early July of

2014), the aBlogtoWatch video of the original Hublot

LaFerrari watch had over 450,000 views on our

YouTube channel. Say that you will about Hublot

timepieces, but the brand "still has it" when it comes to

creating ultra-high-end timepieces that demand

attention.

In order to full understand the story of the MP-05

LaFerrari watch, I recommend you begin with our 2013

article debuting and discussing the original model.

There, I talk about the competition that Hublot is trying

to beat with the watch, and what it meant for the brand

to release such a timepiece.



Nevertheless, I should recap some of the major talking

points of the piece (as there are many), and discuss

what is new about this 2014 version of the Hublot MP-05

LaFerrari watch.

If you are into luxury then the most important thing to

know about the Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari watch is that it is

the most expensive and high-end timepiece (so far) to

come as a result of the Hublot + Ferrari relationship.

Hublot continues to be the official high-end watchmaking

partner of Ferrari, and the Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari

watch, with its $300,000 plus price sits at the apex of

that product family. I have a feeling that the LaFerrari

watch will retain this title for some years to come.

Now, if you are a watch lover and the mechanics and

design of the Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari watch are more

interesting than Hublot's business relationship with

Ferrari, then what you'll want to know is that the Hublot

MP-05 LaFerrari watch has the longest power reserve of

any mechanical watch on the planet. See that stack of

barrels in the center of the movement? Between 11

mainspring barrels, the in-house made and designed

Hublot caliber HUB9005.H1.6 movement has 50 days of

power reserve. That is about 1,200 hours. Just for

comparison purposes, a standard mechanical movement

has about 42 hours of power reserve.

The Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari watch remains one of the

coolest ultra-luxury-watches on the planet and

represents the apex of what Hublot is able to achieve. Of

course, timepieces such as this exist as halo products

with very few being sold and being of negligible value to

a brand's overall bottom line despite their high price.

Nevertheless, it is a good day at Hublot when any

$300,000 plus timepiece is sold - but imagine the

production and design costs of a watch like this.

On the wrist, the Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari sits more

snugly than one might imagine with the rubber strap,

but of course the oddly-shaped case with its generous

dimensions sits differently than most watches. The

case is 45.8mm tall by 39.5mm wide and 15.3mm

thick. It does seem to be bigger than it is actually is,

but what else would you expect with a timepiece

specifically intended to be larger than life. The 2014

titanium and yellow version of the Hublot MP-05

LaFerrari watch is limited to 50 pieces with a price of

$345,000.

The COOLEST is So Much Better Than Your Standard Cooler

A cooler is a mighty big item to serve only one

purpose. Yes we want cold drinks, but toting around a

giant ice chest makes us question if we could just get

by with some warm brews.



The COOLEST takes your average cooler and makes it

so much more useful. Included is an 18v battery

powered blender for making some frozen drinks, a

removable Bluetooth speaker, a USB charger, storage

for plates and knives, and a good bit more. Of course all

that stuff would kinda suck if it was all shooting out the

sides, but everything is integrated into the frame so it

isn’t adding extra bulk. It’s a mobile party on beach

wheels. $185 (Mike Newman)

Flir One Thermal Imager

Hardcore handymen can tell you that thermal imaging is

a lifesaver for finding water and air leaks, spotting

overloaded electrical connections, and many other

household issues. The Flir One Thermal Imager brings

this power to your iPhone 5 or 5S. This advanced add-

on combines the thermal image with the photo from a

military-grade night vision camera to provide outstanding

picture clarity, letting you see what's hiding in plain sight,

whether it be a problem in the house, an animal in the

dark, or just who's putting off the most heat at the

gym.$350

Zepp Golf Sensor

Golf sensors aren't a new idea — we've written about

a couple of them before — but we've never seen one

that didn't need to attach to your club. Until now. The

Zepp Golf Sensor hooks onto your glove and

communicates with your phone or tablet over

Bluetooth, letting you see your swing in 360 degrees,

and analyze your club plane, hand path, speed,

tempo, backswing position, and, if you put your phone

in your pocket, hip rotation. You can also compare

your swing with that of a pro, and track your progress

over time with every club in your bag. And if you

happen to be a multi-sport star, don't worry — the

same sensor can be mounted onto a tennis racket or

baseball bat so you can track your stats there,

too.$150

Petit Le Mans October 1-4

The Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda (French for little

Le Mans) is a sports car endurance race held annually

at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, USA. It uses the

rules established for the 24 hours of Le Mans by the

Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), which are slightly

modified if necessary, mainly to allow additional cars to

compete.

The race was founded by Road Atlanta owner Don

Panoz and first run on October 10, 1998 as part of the

IMSA season. The 1999 edition was one of the original

events of the American Le Mans Series. This year will

mark the 2nd Annual Intercontinental Le Mans Cup,

which connects the races in North America, Europe and

Asia.

The Petit Le Mans covers a maximum of 1,000 miles

(1,600 km) (which is approximately 394 laps) or a

maximum of 10 hours, whichever comes first; only

once, in the rain-stopped 2009 race, has the leading

team failed to complete 1,000 miles (1,600 km). In

addition to the overall race, teams of two or three

drivers per car compete for class victories in four

different classes of cars, two for Le Mans prototypes

and two for grand tourer cars. Class winners of this

event receive an automatic invitation to the following

year's 24 Hours of Le Mans.
