Bugatti Veyron versus Porsche 911 turbo





Introductory.

Nowadays there are many new cars in the world that work with gas or petrol. There are also cars that work with electricity. Many people like to have a sport car that has a nice shape and speed. There are many sport cars. Some of them are good and others are bad. In this essay I am going to talk about the similarities and differences between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo.

The similarities
There are only a few similarities between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo. The first similarity is they are both sport cars. The Second similarity is that both of them are popular. Many people like to have these two cars because they are so beautiful and have a nice look.

The Differences.

There are many differences between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo. We begin with the difference in prices. The Bugatti is more expensive than the Porsche 911 Turbo. It costs $1.6 million but the Porsche 991 Turbo costs between $137,360- 140,780 ( http://www.bugatti.com/).The Second thing is the difference in speed. The Bugatti is faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo by 61 mph only (http://www.porsche-design.com/). After that the speed from 0-60 mph and the horse power. The Bugatti is 1001 HP horse power but the Porsche is 480 Hp only and that means the Bugatti is better. There is also the torque. The Bugatti is 952 IB-FT, but the Porsche 911 Turbo is 457 pound feet only. Finally the weight. The Bugatti is 5000 lb but the Porsche 911 Turbo is from 3650-3750 lb (http://paultan.org/2006/07/05/2009-porsche-gt1.)

My Opinion

In my opinion I won’t buy any of these cars because I’m not a big fan of sport cars.
I’m not a 4 wheel driver and I never thought of getting into the world of driving sport cars.
Sport cars give me a headache and they are expensive.

FOUND after 23 years

This is a true story that took place in NewYork city that made people more careful with their children .The incident was about kidnapping a 19 days old girl Carlina ,while her parents took their infant daughter to what was then called Harlem Hospital to be treated for high fever ; the newborn disappeared from the pediatric ward .When Carlina grew up she began to have doubts about whether the woman she grew up with was her real mother , so she called the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC),and with their help soon confirmed her true origins through DNA testing.

 The kidnapper is now facing a federal kidnapping charge -and the prospect of spending the rest of her life behind bars. But Carlina continued her life with her real parents and models for photography students and is raising her daughter .Which makes this reunion not quite the simple fairy tale many people imagine."Her story struck a chord with a lot of people ,"says Ernie Allen, president of NCMEC ,whose switchboard has been overwhelmed by new callers."Many of them are calls from people who question who they are  ,whether they're in the right place."But finding her way into a new family is going to present challenges for Carlina and her biological parents.
