Hydraulic – Low Riders!!!

April 27, 2009 :: Posted by - Laura :: Category - Accessories, Cars From TV, Performance

Low-riders are taking the world by storm! ! !

And we can see why with their new found rage!

Whilst attempting to protect the low-riders from dragging over bumps and damaging rough roads, they have found a solution that helps raise the riders up and completely off the road, even whilst in motion – ‘Hydraulics!’

But who in their right mind could come up with an idea like car-hopping!!!

Well, In Southern California where this all began, they certainly know their stuff!

These enthusiasts install ‘Hydraulic Lift Kits’ that thrust the vehicles in an up and down motion using hydraulic cylinders with electric hydraulic pumps, allowing a completely adjustable vehicle height. This itself is a major attraction! But as if that wasn’t enough, somewhere along the way of exploration – this evolutionary process has evolved an unpredictable and amazing break-through!

At some point, someone has realised that with the right power ratio mixed with 1 mega Hydraulic pump – it will make the car hop! And to great heights!!

At the touch of a button you can literally ‘bunny-hop’ the car 6 feet off the ground!
Just like the movies!!

Now that’s Awesome! And so much fun!! Believe Me!!!

The Q7, was first rolled out the shed around 3 years ago as it rocketed to the top shelf of our 4×4 stores on a grand scale as one of the most, if not the most, comfortable, sporty, high performance, business and recreational use vehicle ever to hit our market!

Now, in 2010, were set to see a bigger, better, new improved Q7 that’s more elegant in style and more efficient in all the best areas.

This version is to comprise much lower emissions. The Q7 3.0L TDI will consume only 9.1litres of fuel per 100 kilometres!

And if that wasn’t good enough for you, there’s an even better option – introducing the world’s cleanest diesel technology with fuel consumption even lower still! A mere 8.9 Lt consumption to every 100 km!

This will ensure Audi a leadership position!….

Built in Austria and due for release in 2010, this car will cost around £100,000 and will be a derivative of the brotherly DB9 boasting ultimate driving dynamics and capabilities.

Its body  silhouette is still very familiar just more practical as a family or everyday car.It still has strong characteristics witha full length glass roof and  ‘Swan Wing’ doors which rise outwards and upwards, and powered by a 6.0ltr V12 engine and touch-tronic gearbox, this Aston will easily breach the 0-60 sprint at 470 bhp!!

This car will be loved by all!!!…
