Berita Hebohnya Raja Arab Saudi Beli Jejaring Sosial Facebook, Palsu!

Berita Hebohnya Raja Arab Saudi Beli Jejaring Sosial Facebook, Palsu! - Facebook kembali diterpa kabar palsu sehingga membuat kehebohan. Kali ini, isu tersebut beredar di Timur Tengah yang menyebutkan bahwa Raja Arab Saudi berniat membeli Facebook dengan harga USD 150 miliar.

Disebutkan pula jika hal ini dilakukan untuk mengantisipasi kemungkinan Facebook jadi sarana bagi rakyat untuk merongrong kekuasaan pemerintah.

Memang, Facebook telah jadi salah satu media ampuh untuk menggalang aksi demo yang sekarang marak di wilayah Timur Tengah. Termasuk di Mesir yang telah berujung pada terjungkalnya pemerintahan presiden Hosni Mubarak.

Namun demikian, isu pembelian Facebook oleh raja Arab Saudi itu pastinya palsu dan berasal dari sumber tidak terpercaya.

Beberapa media setempat pun kena malu karena memberitakannya seolah-olah hal itu memang benar dan menimbulkan kehebohan di masyarakat.

Whael Ghonim, pejabat Google di Timur Tengah yang terkenal karena perannya dalam revolusi Mesir, sampai menulis tweet yang menyayangkan para media terkait kabar tersebut. Sebab, sumber berita diketahui hanya sebuah situs parodi.

Situs bersangkutan bernama Dawn Wires. Mereka mengabarkan berita tersebut, namun di bawahnya sudah tertulis jika tujuannya hanya untuk humor. Namun sepertinya banyak yang tak membaca keterangan ini dan menyangkanya sebagai berita sungguhan.

Belum lama ini, Facebook juga diterpa isu bakal ditutup oleh sang bos, Mark Zuckerberg. Padahal kabar yang juga sempat menggegerkan itu juga cuma hoax dari sebuah website iseng. Demikian seperti dilansir TheNextWeb dan dikutip detikINET, Selasa (1/3/2011).detik.com

Mercedes-Benz CLS by Carlsson


German tuner Carlsson has introduced its own edition of the Mercedes-Benz CLS ahead of its Geneva debut tomorrow.

Carlsson's chief designer Rolf Schlepp has created a new aerodynamic kit that accentuates the CLS's coupe styling. That includes a front spoiler, an RS front spoiler lip (also available in carbon), stainless-steel grille inserts, rear spoiler and a rear apron with integrated diffuser.

For the performance tuning, Carlsson offers power boosting kits for several CLS engine variants, including a boost on the twin-turbo V8 of the CLS 63 AMG that dials output from the series' 557 PS ( 410 kW / 550 bhp) up to 600 PS (441 kW / 592 bhp).

On the diesel-powered CLS 350 CDI, the Carlsson C-Tronic control unit boosts the power rating by 20 percent to a total of 320 PS (235 kW / 316 bhp) and 780 Nm of torque (575 lb-ft) from the series' 265 PS (195 kW / 261 bhp) 650 Nm (479 lb-ft). The 0 to 100 km/h sprint time is improved by 0.3 seconds over the standard 350 CDI to 5.9 seconds.

For the exhaust, there's a stainless steel rear silencer and double-oval tailpipes, with Carlsson offering stainless-steel tailpipes as an extra option.

Alloy wheels in 1/10 design (five simple and five double spokes) can be had in sizes up to 20 inches.

The C-Tronic SUSPENSION kit is adaptable to the AIRMATIC suspension from Mercedes and can lower the car 30 mm.

Things remain as elaborate, and then some, on the inside. Carlsson uses top-notch materials for the cabin finish in leather and Alcantara with carbon and wood trims (wood inlays with a piano black varnish). The seats and door panels are upholstered in Carlsson Nappa leather with contrasting stitching. There's also an Alcantara sports steering wheel, brushed aluminum pedals and foot rests, and floor and boot mats with the Carlsson logo. Carlsson even informs us that drinking-quality water is used in the tanning of the leather. That's how refined this tuning package is.

HAMANN HAWK based on Mercedes SLS AMG

Based on the Mercedes SLS AMG the Hamann Hawk will be making its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

The bird of prey with its open wing doors has an Everose Gold exterior finish and features a wind tunnel tested body kit. Starting at the front there is a new front bumper fascia with LED lights and enlarged air inlets. Carbon fiber hood allows hot air to escape while the fender flairs provide an extra 60mm on each front side and 70mm on each rear side. Side skirts, rear bumper fascia with diffuser and carbon fiber wing round out the body kit.

Performance of the already potent 6.2-liter V8 engine is enhanced with high-performance titanium exhaust manifolds and sports catalysts while a sports air filter is used on the intake side. In concert with a remapped engine control unit, power output is raised to 636 PS (628 bhp / 468 kW) from the standard 571 PS (420 kW / 563 hp) for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph).

The coilover kit with four height-adjustable dampers and four progressively wound springs lower the center of gravity by up to 30 millimeters. Wheels are Hamann's own lightweight forged wheels in 9Jx21 with tires measuring 245/30 ZR 21 at the front and 12.5Jx21 with tires measuring 345/25 ZR 21 at the rear.

HPE700 Camaro Convertible by Hennessey


Hennessey Performance has unveiled the first details about the 2011 HPE700 Camaro Convertible.

Like the previous HPE700 coupe, the convertible features a 'CarbonAero' body kit (which includes a front splitter, a rear diffuser and revised side skirts), a painted hockey stick side strip, and 20-inch alloy wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires.

Power comes from a Corvette ZR1-sourced LS9 engine which has been outfitted with cold air induction system, upgraded pulleys, and high-flow fuel injectors. Thanks to these modifications, the 6.2-liter V8 produces 755 hp (563 kW / 765 PS) and 763 lb-ft (1,033 Nm) of torque - an increase of 117 hp (87 kW / 119 PS) and 159 lb-ft (215 Nm). This enables the coupe (convertible figures are still pending) to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and run the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds at 130 mph.

To ensure the chassis can handle the added power, engineers installed an adjustable coil-over suspension, upgraded sway bars and a Brembo braking system with 15-inch rotors.

Available as a coupe or convertible, HPE700 production will be limited to 24 units.

Corvette Z06 by Romeo Ferraris


The Italian tuner Romeo Ferraris is at it again. This time they're taking on the Corvette Z06.

Romeo Ferraris takes the American import and drops its own compressor onto the LS7 7.0 liter V8 engine. The Vortech kit used includes a centrifugal compressor, an air-to-air aluminum intercooler and high-flow injectors. Total output goes from the standard Z06's 512 PS (377 kW) and 637 Nm of torque to 677 PS (498 kW) and 823 Nm.

Those new power ratings also come as a benefit of a new sport exhaust system and the Z06-RF is held in check by larger performance disk-brakes featuring 380 mm, 6-piston calipers for the front and 345 mm, 4-piston calipers at the back.

Front and rear wheels also differ in dimensions, with Romeo Ferraris fitting this Z06-RF with 19-inch rims at the front and 20-inch at the back.

Performance numbers include a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 3.3 seconds and if you keep going you'll reach 200 km/h (124 mph) in under 10 seconds. Top speed is 340 km/h (211 mph).

Romeo Ferraris also provides a new interior finish to add a European touch to this American muscle car. That includes an in-house "Commando" sport steering wheel by Romeo Ferraris, Recaro Sportster seats and leather touches to replace outgoing plastic moldings.

Opel Corsa OPC by Dbilas Dynamic


German tuner Dbilas Dynamic has a tuning kit for the Opel Corsa OPC that adds more than few extra ponies to the hot little hatch.

The Opel Corsa OPC comes standard with 192 PS on its 1.6 liter turbo engine which Dbilas Dynamic offers to dial upward by more than 50 percent. After the tuning job is complete, the Opel OPC will have 320 PS (235 kW) and 400 Nm of torque at its disposal.

The R�dermark-based tuner achieves that figure with a very comprehensive engine overhaul which includes fitting the tuner's own steel connecting rods, forged pistons and turbocharger as well as adding a sport exhaust system. The tuning also involves ECU-mapping, new sport air filter and new air induction system.

320 PS on the 1,100 kg Corsa OPC makes for a pretty zippy 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 5.1 seconds and provides the car with a weight to power ratio of 3.44 kg per PS. Top speed is a German autobahn-appropriate 264 km/h (164 mph).

The Corsa OPC also gets an Eibach suspension kit that lowers the car by 20 mm. Als

o helping to improve traction are 19-inch rims wrapped in 215/35ZR19 85Y Hankook tires.

Ferrari 599 GTO by Novitec Rosso

The Ferrari aficionados at Novitec Rosso have unveiled a new tuning program for the 599 GTO.

While the car certainly wasn't lacking in performance, the tuner outfitted the 6.0-liter V12 with twin superchargers, a new intake manifold, enlarged fuel injectors, high-flow air filters, a massive intercooler, and stainless-steel sport exhaust system with 90mm tailpipes. Thanks to these tweaks, output climbs to 888 PS (653 kW / 876 hp) and 862 Nm (636 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 218 PS (160 kW / 215 hp) and 242 Nm (178 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, 0- 200 km/h in 9.1 seconds, and onto a top speed in excess of 340 km/h (211 mph).

On the styling front, the car features a silver and yellow paint scheme which is reminiscent of the Ferrari 250 GTO that won the 1964 Tour de France. Additionally, Novitec Rosso installed lowering springs, a front-axle lift up system, and lightweight wheels (which measure 21-inches front and 22-inches rear) with Pirelli PZero tires.

The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG by Wheelsandmore

German tuner Wheelsandmore has a performance package for the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG that is modest enough to sound like a reasonable option against the SL 65 AMG Black Series.

For the power ugrade, Wheelsandmore does some ECU-remapping and adds a handmade exhaust system to bump the 6.0 liter twin-turbo V12 engine up to 697 PS (513 kW) and 1,150 Nm of torque from the production model's 612 PS (450 kW) and 1,000 Nm. The SL 65 AMG Black Series comes with 670 PS (493 kW) but with an electronically-limited torque of 1,000 Nm (a feature Wheelsandmore removes for its tuning of the standard SL 65 AMG).

Also on hand are, of course, Wheelsandmore's 3-piece forged rims (6Sportz) in 10 x 20-inch and 12 x 20-inch dimensions for the front and rear, respectively, wrapped in 255/30/20 (front) and 305/25/20 (back) Dunlop tires.

A suspension kit is also part of the package - Wheelsandmore�s "LowMaXX" electronic lowering module that maintains serial settings and raises the car at around the 72 km/h (45 mph) mark to provide a more comfortable ride.

Mercedes SLS AMG widebody by FAB Design

Fab Design first showed us their Mercedes SLS AMG body styling kit back in October. Now some fans have tipped us off to an example sitting in the Al-ain Class Motors showroom in Dubai. But this SLS kit isn't the same as the first design. This one is a wide body version.

The fenders have been completely resculpted and the sides skirts and quarter panels are one seemless panel that fit over the existing panels. At the rear, the redesigned bumper fascia meets up precisely with the widened quarter panels giving the tailamps a sunken look.

We've received no details on any performance modifications under the hood, but we do know that Fab offers a sport exhaust system which helps increase output from 571 PS (420 kW / 563 hp) to 611 PS (449 kW / 603 hp). Additionally, a sport suspension can be fitted.

There's no denying that Fab designs aren't for everyone, but one thing for certain is that they provoke a strong response, and just for that reason alone they get our nod of approval.

Ferrari 458 Italia by Novitec Rosso

It was just last week Novitec Rosso showed us their Race 606 tuning package for the Ferrari California. Now in preparation for the Geneva Motor Show next week the German tuner of the prancing horse has revealed early their program for latest model from Maranello, the Ferrari 458 Italia.

Novitec Rosso has kept engine modifications basic for the brand new model. They've added a new carbon-fiber airbox, a high-performance exhaust system made from nickel-chromium-based superalloy Inconel, which weighs 21 kg (46 lbs) less, as well as sport exhaust manifolds, sport catalysts and a rear muffler with a sound control flap that can be activated by a button on the steering wheel. Lastly, a remapped engine management system for optimized ignition and injection was added resulting in an additional 39 PS (28.7 kW / 39 bhp) from the 4.5-liter V8 for a total of 609 PS (448 kW / 600 bhp) at 9,100 rpm. Simultaneously peak torque has grown from 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) to 569 Nm (420 lb-ft) at 5,400 rpm.

For a top speed in excess of 330 km/h (205 mph) Novitec Rosso fine-tuned the body components using the wind tunnel at the University of Stuttgart. Made of carbon fiber the aerodynamic-enhanced kit consists of a lower spoiler, right/left wing flaps and ventilation louvers attached to the original bumper fascia. Also in carbon fiber are the fenders, side skirts, carbon-fiber mirror housings, rear spoiler and diffuser. And last but not least the roof panel and engine hood are also made from carbon fiber.

Custom-tailored versions of the three-piece Novitec Rosso NF3 wheels were developed for the 458 Italia. Novitec Rosso chose a staggered combination of size 9Jx21 wheels in front and size 12Jx22 on the rear. Custom-manufactured Pirelli PZero tires are mounted in size 255/30 ZR 21 and 335/25 ZR 22 front to rear, respectively.

NOVITEC ROSSO sport springs lower the ride height of the Ferrari by 35 millimeters while the hydraulic front lift system can raise the front lip of the car by 40 millimeters to help clear speed bumps or parking garage ramps.

BMW M5 G-Power Hurricane RS Touring

German tuner G-Power doesn't like to come in second. At least, not with regard to horsepower figures.

So here is the full set of specs and photos of the G-Power M5 Hurricane RS Touring based on the E61 BMW M5 Touring following the recent high speed jaunt on a German autobahn.

The 5.0 liter V10 twin-supercharged power plant churns out a remarkable 750 PS (551 kW / 740 bhp) and 750 Nm of torque (553 lb-ft). 0 to 100 km/h clocks in at 4.5 seconds while top speed is electronically limited to a record-setting 360 km/h for a wagon/estate model.

With that much power on tap G-Power sees fit to provide acceleration figures for the 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) sprint (9.7 seconds) as well as the 0 to 300 km/h (186 mph) one, which comes in at 26 seconds flat.

Most of that power comes courtesy of the G-Power SK IIII RS twin-supercharger system with a twin-scroll, water-cooled intercooler. G-Power also replaces the pistons with forged Mahle units and does an ECU remap.

For the ride are 20-inch G-Power Silverstone Diamond wheels wrapped with MICHELIN Pilot Sport tires in 255/35 ZR 20 and 285/30 ZR 20 dimensions, front and back, respectively.

SV12 R Biturbo 800 by Brabus


Brabus has unveiled the fastest and most powerful sedan in the world - the SV12 R Biturbo 800.

Essentially a revised SV12 R, the Biturbo features a 5.5-liter V12 engine which has been bored to 6.3-liters. Besides the extra displacement, engineers added a new crankshaft, larger pistons, high-performance camshafts and optimized cylinder heads. Furthermore, the company installed a carbon fiber air intake, new turbochargers, four intercoolers, a sport exhaust, and a recalibrated ECU.

Thanks to all these changes, the V12 produces a staggering 800 PS (788 bhp / 588 kW) and 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) of torque. Sadly, the latter figure is electronically limited to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) for "technical reasons." Despite this, the �ber sedan accelerates from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds and 0-200 km/h (124 mph) in 10.3 seconds. If that isn't fast enough, keep your foot planted and the Biturbo will eventually top out at an electronically limited 350 km/h (217 mph).

To ensure the car remains stable at speed, Brabus equipped it with an aerodynamic body kit, high-performance tires (from Pirelli or YOKOHAMA), a revised suspension module (which lowers the ride height by 15mm), beefier brakes, and a limited-slip differential.
