Radical Performance Engines
Radical Performance Engines (RPE) are an engine manufacturer of performance engines from the United Kingdom. The company mainly works with Suzuki motorcycle based engines, and they are the sole engine manufacturer for Radical Sportscars. Engines RPE GSX-R Series Suzuki's acclaimed GSX-R series of engines are the basic building blocks of all RPE's racing engines, incorporating state-of-the-art technology with an unrivalled power-to-weight ratio. The GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa was widely recognised as the world’s fastest production motorcycle, before the Kawasaki Ninja H2R came out, with a top speed of 194 mph (312 km/h.) Distinctive features of the Hayabusa engine are its abundance of low-end torque and strength of the components, making it the ideal powerplant for four-wheel applications. RP-V8 Series RPE RP-V8 (see Powertec RPA) is the name of a V8 engine series developed by RPE. The design is loosely based on the 1.3 litres (79.3 cu in) inline-four engine produced b ...

The city is north of London, on the River Nene which flows into the North Sea to the north-east. In 2020 the built-up area subdivision had an estimated population of 179,349. In 2021 the Unitary Authority area had a population of 215,671. The local topography is flat, and in some places, the land lies below sea level, for example in parts of the Fens to the east and to the south of Peterborough. Human settlement in the area began before the Bronze Age, as can be seen at the Flag Fen archaeological site to the east of the current city centre, also with evidence of Roman occupation. The Anglo-Saxon period saw the establishment of a monastery, Medeshams ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A performance is an act of staging or presenting a play, concert, or other form of entertainment. It is also defined as the action or process of carrying out or accomplishing an action, task, or function. Management science In the work place, job performance is the hypothesized conception or requirements of a role. There are two types of job performances: contextual and task. Task performance is dependent on cognitive ability, while contextual performance is dependent on personality. Task performance relates to behavioral roles that are recognized in job descriptions and remuneration systems. They are directly related to organizational performance, whereas contextual performances are value-based and add additional behavioral roles that are not recognized in job descriptions and covered by compensation; these are extra roles that are indirectly related to organizational performance. Citizenship performance, like contextual performance, relates to a set of individual activity/co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Nürburgring Nordschleife Lap Times
This is a list of lap times achieved by various vehicles on the Nürburgring (Nordschleife). The list itself is broken down into categories. The Nordschleife The Nürburgring Nordschleife ''(North Loop)'' in Germany, with its remaining long old section dating from 1927, is used by various motoring media outlets and vehicle manufacturers for testing. Manufacturers publish times for promotional purposes while automotive media outlets usually publish times for comparison and reporting purposes. According to ''Car and Driver'', Nürburgring Nordschleife "record-chasing runs are a universally accepted, objective measure of a car’s performance, and shaving seconds gives automakers reasons to grab some headlines." Compared to the current version, the original Nürburgring track was longer and split into three configurations. The entire track, the Gesamtstrecke (see map above) was 28.3 kilometres in length, composed of the Nordschleife (22.8 km), the Südschleife (7.7 ...

Ford EcoBoost Engine
EcoBoost is a series of turbocharged, direct-injection gasoline engines produced by Ford and originally co-developed by FEV Inc. (now named FEV North America Inc.). EcoBoost engines are designed to deliver power and torque consistent with those of larger- displacement (cylinder volume), naturally aspirated engines, while achieving about 30% better fuel efficiency and 15% fewer greenhouse emissions, according to Ford. The manufacturer sees the EcoBoost technology as less costly and more versatile than further developing or expanding the use of hybrid and diesel engine technologies. EcoBoost engines are broadly available across the Ford vehicle lineup. Global production EcoBoost gasoline direct-injection turbocharged engine technology adds 128 patents and patent applications to Ford's 4,618 active and thousands of pending US patents. Some of the costs of US development and production were assisted by the $5.9 billion Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program b ...
