AC Cobra 212 S/C Sports Car 3506 cc V8 Twin Turbo (Lotus) Engine

AC Cobra 212 S/C

The AC Cobra 212 S/C used the ultra low weight of the advanced Formula One carbon fibre body technology pioneered on the AC Cobra MKIV CRS. High performance Avon tyres have been selected to create a special road/race package for the AC Cobra 212 S/C to ensure that the output of the Lotus V8 reaches the road.Powering the AC 212 S/C is a 350 bhp Lotus engineered 3.5 Litre, V8, Twin Turbo engine mated to a 6 speed gearbox all hidden under a carbon fiber body.
John Owen says,"With the AC 212 S/C we've been able to bring together three tremendous assets in the same package".
AC Car Group Limited's Chief Engineer and the man who earlier led the Lotus design team which conceived the V8 unit. "We've got the ultimate sports car looks of the iconic AC Cobra. We've developed the pioneering F1 carbon fibre technology from the CRS. And we've mated all of this to one of the most powerful engines available today - the Lotus V8."
The car develops 350 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 295 lb ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. It drives through a Tremec T56 six-speed manual gearbox and BTR Hydratrak final drive (ratio 3.73:1) to the rear axle. Power steering is standard together with AP Racing dual circuit servo-assisted ventilated discs all round.The specifications of the AC Cobra 212 S/C model reflects the power of the 3.5 litre Lotus engine with twin Garratt turbochargers.
"The AC Cobra 212 S/C is a hugely valuable addition to our line up of models which so proudly display their AC Cobra pedigree", said Mike Hall, AC Car Group Limited's Joint Chairman. "

You're next!

Do you see "this" in your garden or neighborhood? If your answer is YES, luck you! There is no air pollution around you!

Você vê "isto" em seu jardim ou redondezas? Se sua resposta for SIM, sorte sua! O ar está limpo e não há poluição!

Lichens are a successful alliance between a fungus and an alga. Each doing what it does best, and thriving as a result of a natural cooperation. They live as one organism, both inhabiting the same body. ""Many lichens are very sensitive to pollution in the air. When there are too many harmful things in the air, lichens die. If you live where there are many lichens it probably means the air is clean. But, if there are only a few lichens in your neighborhood, the air you are breathing is probably clogged with automobile fumes or industrial wastes.

Lichens are capable of inhabiting several ecosystems, due to their versatility, despite of the environmental conditions. They can live on rocks, ground, rind of trees, trunks and wood. Lichens are very good bio-indicators to survey the air pollution.

So, Lichens are important in many ways: Lichens are sensitive to pollution in the air and can tell us if the air is clear and clean; Drug companies make antibiotics from lichen substances; Some lichens make nitrogen in the air usable to plants; Lichens are homes for spiders, mites, lice and other insects; Lichens can be used as a natural dye to color wool; People eat lichens (careful - a few are poisonous, so don't experiment without adult help).

Os Líquens são seres vivos muito simples que se desenvolvem como lâminas ou placas de várias cores na superfície de árvores ou de pedras, expostas à umidade e ao sol. São geralmente estudados pelos botânicos, apesar de não serem verdadeiras plantas. Os líquens são uma simbiose – um organismo formado por um fungo (o micobionte) e uma alga ou cianobactéria (o fotobionte). Os líquens são muito sensíveis à poluição do ar. Quando há muitos poluentes no ar os líquens morrem. Se você mora num ambiente onde há muitos líquens, isso significa que o ar está limpo e não há poluição. Os líquens são indicadores biológicos importantes que permitem uma avaliação da qualidade do ambiente.

Os Líquens proliferam nos substractos mais variados: sobre rochas, solo, casca das árvores e madeira. Vivem em ambientes onde nem fungos nem as algas se desenvolveriam. Assim, toleram condições climáticas extremas. Os líquens, apesar de suportarem os rigores ambientais, são extremamente sensíveis aos agentes poluentes, podendo indicar a qualidade do ar e até a quantidade de metais pesados em áreas industriais, o que explica a não ocorrência destes seres vivos nas grandes cidades.

Outra utilidade dos líquens: eles são comestíveis, mas cuidado porque alguns são venenosos, assim não os experimente sem a ajuda de um expert no assunto. As indústrias farmacêuticas usam os líquens na fabricação de remédios e os líquens também podem ser usados para colorir lãs e tecidos.
