CannonBall Club Bangalore launched

The launch of the CannonBall club happened on the Sunday, 17th March 2013. The launch witnessed hundreds of supercar fans throng the venue ITC Gardenia Bangalore, from the morning to get a glimpse of their favorite supercar. The officials at the venue had a tough time managing the crowed along with guiding the owners to park their rides.

The cars expected to attend the event was 20+, however when the day began the venue almost could not accommodate the cars and the number had increased to 30+ supercars.  The owners had a pleasant time together, as this was a forum for them to unite and talk about each other’s cars, talk about automotive and enjoy great food and hot beverages. The owners were taken through a briefed session of CannonBall club’s rules, member details, drive and future plans. The next plan was to flag-off the event and take the supercars for a drive across the city.


The flag-off happened at 3pm, the crowed could not resist their excitement to spot their favorite supercar, it was vice-a-versa, the city cheered the cars and the owners cheered back at them by revving their Audi R8’s, Porsche’s and Maserati’s.

Take a look at the video below to see the city cheer at them at flag-off.


This is one of an event Bangalore has ever seen, or will ever see. We wished other owners also took part at the event. This is not the end of the world, CannonBall Club (CBC) Bangalore has 4+ more drives which will happen similarly this year and hopefully we catch up with you soon.

AUDI UNLEASHES THE R8 AND TURNS A BLIP INTO A ROAR


YouTube and Blippar app showcase high-performance Audi R8 engine

§  Audi R8 V10 plus rear stripped down to reveal 550PS power plant
§  Video already viewed over 200,000 times on YouTube
§  Intense aural and visual experience captured up close
§  0-62mph in 3.5 seconds and 197mph top speed (S tronic)
§  New generation R8 V10 plus priced from £124,675 OTR

Audi has taken the back off its new R8 V10 plus supercar for a new video which allows viewers to see its high-performance 550PS engine in action - and hear it roar.
The film, which captures the excitement of the R8 accelerating at full throttle, is available on YouTube 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpB1yR9Sz9Y  and has already been viewed over 200,000 times since it first went live.


Thanks to augmented-reality technology - used for the first time by Audi – users of the free image-recognition app Blippar are able to view this video by simply pointing their phone at print and poster advertisements of the car, instantly bringing 2D photographs to life.

"The new Audi R8 V10 plus pushes boundaries in terms of performance and innovation. The use of Blippar technology allows people to interact immediately with the car, and get under its bonnet in a way they simply would not be able to do with a 2D advertisement alone. The new video content gives car enthusiasts the opportunity to hear the R8 V10 plus being taken to the red line," explains Kristian Dean, National Communications Manager for Audi UK.

"Augmented reality opens up a whole new world of marketing potential, and will only become more exciting as more brands embrace apps such as Blippar. Audi is proud to be one of the first major brands to utilise this new technology - an approach in keeping with the company philosophy of Vorsprung durch Technik."

Exotic Cars in Bangalore


An exotic car is described as a beauty of automotive art, a mean machine or a collectible and it is exclusively different from regular cars. The performance is considered to be higher than to the usual sports cars that we know.

Exotic cars are known for their brutish look, which is, and performs like a beast. You definitely will change the way you think of cars, if you are behind one of these. They are Automotive Miracle!

An exotic car is a vision of our dream and few are there and for the rest, vision continues.
-->

The following is a pictorial identity of Exotic cars in Bangalore.


The Ferrari 458 Italia is a replacement of the Ferrari F430 which was produced during 2004-2009. The 458 Italia was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Though the 458 Italia is said to be the successor of the F430, the 458 Italia possesses an entirely new design, incorporating technologies developed from the company's experience in Formula 1.












The Lamborghini Aventador is a two-door, two-seater sports car from Lamborghini which was unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The Aventador is a replacement of the ten-year-old Murciélago. The Aventador LP700-4 is mated with a 6.5 liter V12 engine which unleashes uncensored power of 700bhp at 8250rpm. The bull is capable of reaching 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and can cruise at a top speed of around 350 km/h making the Aventador stand among the fastest street-legal cars in the world.







A serious performance machine you can call it, since it is the most responsive, powerful, agile, and driver-focused production car. It is built on the regular XKR, adding massive power and other upgrades to the interior and exterior.






It exudes a sinister appearance, while maintaining its elegant profile, thanks to the combination of its flared rear fenders and smoked trim. The Supersports is wickedly fast as it can zip from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds flat, according to Bentley.











The Aston Martin V8 Vantage coupe is a series of hand-built sports cars from the British manufacturer Aston Martin. The V8 Vantage is the leanest and most agile car in Aston's lineup. With a 4.7-litre V8 sounds exhilarating, doesn't it? Yes, the roar of the V8 Vantage could stir your soul.






The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder was unveiled at 2008 LA Auto Show, it is the convertible version of the Gallardo LP 560-4, Lamborghini's entry-level offering and best-selling vehicle ever. The beast possesses 5.2 L V10 engine pumping out a fiery 552 hp at 8,000 rpm and 398 ft-lbs of torque at 6,500 rpm. With an improved E-gear transmission and 20 kg weight reduction the performance has been improved to 0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 0-200 km/h of 13.1 and a top speed of 324 km/h.





The SLS AMG Roadster is with the same genes of the SLS AMG Coupé but with character all of its own, it perfectly blends the strength of Mercedes-Benz and AMG.




The Audi R8 is equipped with a 4.2 litre V8 engine using Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), which displays 4,163CC. It develops a power output of 420 hp and generates 317 ft·lbf of torque. This is a highly reworked, high-revving variant of the existing 4.2 litre V8 engine, but includes cylinder-direct fuel injection (Fuel Stratified Injection), and four valves per cylinder, instead of five (as used on the previous non-FSI variants). The R8 is capable of sprinting to 100 km/h from standstill in a just 4.6 seconds and hit a top speed of 300 km/h.











The Audi R8 is powered by a 5.2 litre FSI V10 engine, based on the unit in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, producing out 525 hp and generates 530 nm of torque. The R8 V10 can rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 315 km/h.




The Bentley Continental GT Speed is packed with enormous power under its hood with a twin turbo 6.0-litre W-12 producing 600 hp (447 kW) and 553 lb·ft (750 N·m). With sufficient howling to showcase its power, this monster travels 0-60 in just 4.5 seconds. Those who require speed in the same league can also opt for a Lamborghini Murcielago with 571hp, Porsche 911 GT2 with 530hp, Ferrari F430 Scuderia with 503hp.











I was standing before a beautiful monster (I guess that's what Neyo was singing about), whose howl is so loud that you can hear it crystal clear all the way down the street! If you put a stethoscope on this beast's chest you will hear the heart of a lion. A 5935cc V12 that can pump 510bhp at 6500rpm and 570Nm of torque @5750rpm. This beast is of the gorgeous breed - just looking at it will put a silly "I'm-in-love" smile on your face! Also, it's a cabriolet with an electronically-controlled roof. How do you move it? Just press the button in the centre console - it's down in 14 seconds. You can do this trick while you drive - just make sure you aren't racing above 48km/h.
