Bmw Hydrogen 7 a Perfect Match to Jay Leno?s Eco-garage

Jay Leno, the Emmy-award winning comedian and host of The Tonight Show is one of the first Americans to receive keys to a BMW Hydrogen 7 which is the world’s first ever hydrogen-powered luxury sedan. The Hydrogen luxury sedan was delivered to Mr. Leno at his famed automobile garage in Burbank, California deemed as a green garage since it is powered by steam.

The green garage of Mr. Leno makes use of a 19th century giant steam and natural gas engines that somewhat converts the garage into a self-sufficient power station. Mr. Leno explained there is simply no excuse why a garage that is full of old automobiles can’t be eco-worthy.

To create his eco-friendly garage Mr. Leno has worked with expert consultants in various fields to examine his garage’s energy use and at the same time devise some substitute energy systems. This is part of Mr. Leno’s plans of upgrading his 20,000 sq.ft.-garage with the latest environmentally friendly shop equipment and products. Driving a BMW Hydrogen 7 is just jives with his “green” objectives.

The Ferrari 328: The Perfect Exotic?

Los Angeles, CA–Ferrari is a world-renowned study as an Italian Sports Automobile manufacturer based out of Modena and Maranello, Italy. The company was founded in 1929 by Enzo Ferrari. The Ferrari line of automobiles are considered to be the most desired automobiles to both own and drive and are an eventual position symbol of wealth. Simply having one in your driveway changes the impression people will have of you. The Ferrari 328 is less about position for most enthusiasts and more about trouble free ownership.

The classic line of Ferrari GTB/GTS seems to be the most common choice for the first time buyer of a Ferrari. Currently there have been more than 10,000 sold and there is a solid supply of these vehicles. When it comes to affordability, having this need in place will bring the overall cost down and make this a more inexpensive exotic car. Commenting on the efficiency of a 328 would be remiss if we first did not discuss its predecessor – the 308 which was one of Ferarris most successful vehicles.

Many people have considered the 308 to be the Ferrari to own, and recommended the 328 had some huge shoes to fill after its success. The 308 after its debut in 1975 very swiftly became the meat and potatoes automobile for the company. Initially, the 308 was prefabricated of fiberglass, with a switch in 1977 to all metal construction. Currently the fiberglass models are in higher demand, simply because they make for lighter, faster vehicles. Further, their engines are not bothered by exhaust equipment sapping out the power. With the change to metal construction, the 308 began to decline. In 1985 came the first major redesign with the 328 GTB. The engine capacity was raised to 3185 cc, and the power went up to 270bhp making this the fastest automobile from this Ferrari series. In the ’80’s, the 328 became the super-car of the Ferrari and the single most successful selling automobile for the company.

As a successor of the 308, the 328 also brings a considerable boost in power in comparison to the 308. If you are considering the purchase of a 328, your main consideration is going to be whether to purchase a 328 or 308. The most substantial advantages to the 328 are its newness and its greater availability. These benefits are going to be offset by the higher cost of the vehicle. This automobile this day will run about $60,000. If you are a buyer wanting greater performance and a more modern design, the 328 will be the look you are going for. Rarity of this exotic automobile and a stiffer body are going to be its greatest advantages when you are considering the Ferrari line.

Peter Klamka, a Ferrari collector from Ann Arbor, Michigan, commented, “I regret selling my 1987 328. It was a very weak moment when I sold it. That automobile was bulletproof mechanically and incredibly fun to drive.”
