BMW has one of their 2007 cars with driver Graham Rahal at the wheel. The course that’s set up is a straightaway with a circle at each where Graham gets to demonstrate that traditional driving skill known as the donut.
CES 2008- Graham Rahal
Aside from the ear piercing shriek of an F1 engine, perhaps the most impressive feat here was the way Rahal was able to keep the car off the guard-rails in this confined space. Very cool! Follow the jump for a video of the demonstration.
2008 Ducati 848 it not only shares the lovely shape of the wildly successful 1098, it also shames the legendary 916 in terms of hp output.
In general terms, this new Italian scalpel is little more than an all-new engine in the impressive 1098’s structure.
2008 Ducati 848
The noteworthy addition to this platform is a bespoke powerplant that uses a new vacuum die-casting method called Vacural which results in an engine that weighs about 7 lbs less than the old 749. The “Testastretta Evoluzione” motor uses a 94.0 x 61.2 mm bore and stroke to yield 849cc. No, that’s not a typo - this continues Ducati’s disregard for its nomenclature matching the engine’s displacement: the old 749 displaced 748cc; the standard 999 was 998cc; and the 1098 has a 1099cc engine. Suspension is provided by fully adjustable Showa components at each end. The beefy 43 mm fork does without any fancy titanium-nitride or DLC coating, but its responsiveness is quite good, as is its adjustability.
The 848 has the sporting prowess to back up its mouth-watering good looks.
