Bugatti Vs Porsche 911

Cars became an important utility especially in the UAE. Some people like to have big cars while the others like to have small cars. Sport cars became almost the most wanted even if they are expensive. For example the Porsche 911 is expensive but people buy it while the Bugatti is another famous car but cannot be owned by everybody. In this essay I will compare and contrast between these two cars.


Both of these cars are the super sport cars which have only two seats and are very powerful. They are famous and have very good slippery design. They have the same size of wheels which is 17-inch and they are stable on the street during high and low speeds. The driver feels confident while driving. During driving both of them are quiet and have very high performance.
The differences between them are more than the similarities. For example the horse power of the Bugatti is 1001 hp while the Porsche 911 is 500 hp. The torque of the Bugatti is 922 n and on the other hand the Porsche 911 is 700 only. This means that the Bugaati is much more powerful and that is what makes its speed reach around 407 km/hour. The Porsche 911 can run up to 312 kph maximum. With its reduced weight, the 911 offers better fuel efficiency, managing 24.1 to 24.8mpg, while emitting less carbon dioxide - 18 per cent less, in fact. This attempts to further widen the gap between Porsche and its competitors in the green approach to sports car construction (Gulf News, August 2008). The Porsche casts $ 130,000 which makes it easier to be bought by many people. “On this basis, I’d be similarly dismissive of the Bugatti Veyron. I mean it’s on sale now at £840,000. And, for that money, you could buy a house” said Jeremy Clarkson.
In my opinion the Bugatti is faster and more powerful. Hennessey Performance Company thinks this ungodly power will make the Bugatti Veyron GT crack the 0-62mph dash in just 2.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 262mph. Although it is very expensive, it is nice to dream to own a Bugatti Veyron one day.

Mercedes-Benz SLS

Mercedes-Benz is one of the fabulous automobiles which combine luxury and quality. It also keeps on challenging the best automobiles in the market.

Mercedes-Binz SLS is a project where AMG is challenging the market and for the first time in its history, AMG takes responsibility for developing a whole vehicle from scratch, the all aluminum SLS. It is a result of 37 months of development programme. Volker Mornhinweg the head of AMG said “this is a big name for us, in the eyes of our customers and also for my team”.

Design took the priority after performance and safety during manufacturing the SLS. It is almost totally fabricated by hand and 4% of its body is made of steel, while the rest is made of aluminum to make it as light as possible. Christopher Jung said “the aluminum spaceframe is the best compromise between light weight and cost”. The tools and materials are preheated up to 500 degrees Celsius to aid deep drawing. The SLS is made for the track. Moreover it is made to be enjoyable with the luxury.

The AMG development director Tobias Mores said “the most important thing is to have a car which always feels secure”. He also said “some competitors have spherical bearings, but we don’t because they are not up to our standards. Moreover we say that corrosion after 10 years is simply unacceptable“. AMG worked with 2 companies for the tyres Michelin Pilot and Continental Sport for wheels which are cheaper and lighter. The brake discs are made by SGL Carbon which is better in terms of thermal conductivity.

The SLS has more than 40 prototype vehicles around the world since the summer of 2008. By the time the development programme concludes in January 2010, these cars will have clocked up more than 1.25 million kms at proving grounds and on public roads.

Britain sucking resources

Summary

Britain is living off the rest of the world according to the New Economics Foundation, which illustrates how Britain's way of life now depends on sucking in resources from the rest of the world. The UK became a net importer of energy in 2004. If every country consumes as much as Britain does the world needs to be 3.1 worlds to cope with the demand. At just 22 weeks old an average British citizen will be responsible for the equivalent emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide that someone in Tanzania will generate in a lifetime.

Back in 1961 according to the NEF calculations the UK could manage until the second half of the year under its own steam. The end of national self sufficiency came up to May 14; the date this year falls on April 16-one of the earliest in the developed world.

Nowadays the UK is abusing its place in the international scheme of things and setting a standard that is fundamentally unsustainable and cannot be copied without disastrous consequences. The NEF study shows how poor countries are subsidizing the lifestyle of countries such as Britain by exporting not just food and now materials for industry but people.


Main idea

The UK depends on sucking the resources from the rest of the world. However the poor countries are subsidizing food, raw materials and people.


Opinion

Britain has to increase the resources inside instead of sucking the resources from other countries especially the poor countries.
