Kartik Aaryan (born Kartik Tiwari on 22 November 1990) is an Indian actor who appears in Hindi films. Born and raised in Gwalior, he relocated to Navi Mumbai to pursue an engineering degree in biotechnology. He simultaneously dabbled in modelling and made attempts to start a career in film. After struggling for three years, Aaryan made his acting debut in 2011 with Pyaar Ka Punchnama, a buddy film about the romantic tribulations faced by three young men, which was directed by Luv Ranjan and co-starred Nushrat Bharucha. Aaryan went on to play the romantic interest of the lead female characters in Akaash Vani (2013) and Kaanchi: The Unbreakable (2014), but these films failed to propel his career forward. He subsequently collaborated with Ranjan and Bharucha in two more buddy films, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (2015) and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018), both of which were commercially successful but received criticism for their misogynistic themes. The latter proved to be a breakthrough for Aaryan, and he followed it by starring in the romantic comedy Luka Chuppi (2019). In addition to his acting career, Aaryan endorses several brands and products, and has co-hosted two award ceremonies.Kartik Tiwari (later Aaryan) was born on 22 November 1990 in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.Both his parents are doctors; his father is a paediatrician, and his mother, Mala, is a gynaecologist. He pursued an engineering degree in biotechnology from Navi Mumbai's D Y Patil College of Engineering, while secretly harbouring ambitions for a career in film.He has said that he would skip his classes and travel for two hours to attend auditions.Aaryan began a modelling career while in university and after three years of unsuccessfully auditioning for films, he did an acting course from the Kreating Charakters institute. He informed his parents of his desire to become an actor only after he signed his first film.Aaryan at an event for Kaanchi: The Unbreakable in 2014 While still in his third year of college, Aaryan made his acting debut with Luv Ranjan's buddy film Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011), co-starring Divyendu Sharma, Raayo S Bakhirta, and Nushrat Bharucha, which revolves around the romantic tribulations faced by three young men.He found a casting call for the film on Facebook and secured the role after auditioning for six months.As he had limited financial means at that point, he lived in an apartment with 12 other aspiring actors and earned money by cooking for them.In Pyaar Ka Punchnama, his character's four-minute monologue was one of the lengthiest single shots done for a Hindi film to that point.Reviewing it for Rediff.com, Shaikh Ayaz found Aaryan's "bursting soliloquy on why women are the way they are and can never be understood riotously funny".Namrata Joshi of Outlook criticised the film for portraying each of the female characters as a "hard-hearted bitch" but was appreciative of Aaryan's monologue and the chemistry between the three men.The film emerged as a sleeper hit and he received a nomination for the Producers Guild Film Award for Best Male Debut.After the release of Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Aaryan completed his engineering degree on the insistence of his mother.His next film release came two years later when he collaborated once again with Ranjan and Bharucha in the romance Akaash Vani (2013), which is about the titular lovers who are separated when Vani is married off to an abusive husband.Sudhish Kamath of The Hindu praised the film for exploring chauvinism in India, a rare concept for Hindi film, and praised the chemistry between the two stars, writing that "you can tell how much they are in love, even when they don't have any lines".Sudhir Chaudhary, the cinematographer in Aaryan's previous films, showed his work to Subhash Ghai, who was impressed by Aaryan and cast him in his directorial Kaanchi: The Unbreakable (2014).It is a drama about a woman's quest for justice when her husband is murdered by politicians, in which Aaryan played the love interest of the title character (played by Mishti). Despite a brief role, Aaryan agreed to the project to work with Ghai.Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV disliked the film but wrote that Aaryan "exudes strong screen presence and shows flashes of qualities needed to be a mainstream Bollywood lover boy".Both Akaash Vani and Kaanchi did not perform well commercially, leading Aaryan to question his career prospects

The German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, apologized to Poland for the Nazi "tyranny", 80 years after the start of World War II. Steinmeier and other world leaders are in Poland to commemorate the beginning of the conflict. This Sunday morning, a ceremony was held in the Polish city of Wielun, where the first German bombs fell. Steinmeier condemned the "desire to annihilate" that led to the attack. The Cold War spy technology we all use "I bow my head to the Polish victims of German tyranny and I apologize," Steinmeier said in German and in Polish. The president spoke with his Polish counterpart, Andrzej Duda, who considered the attack by Nazi Germany against Poland as "an act of barbarism." At the ceremony, which began shortly after four in the morning, a minute of silence was kept in memory of the victims. Wielun had to give an idea of the kind of war that was going to be. It was going to be a total war, a war without rules, a destructive war, "Duda said. Other world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, will meet later in another ceremony to be held in the Polish capital, Warsaw. Poland was one of the countries that suffered most from the ravages of World War II: some 6 million of its citizens were killed. Eighty years later, the European nation continues to demand compensation from Germany for the death and destruction inflicted. Recent requests for redress by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, whose ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has been accused of fueling nationalist sentiments, have fueled tensions with Germany. A Polish parliamentary committee is still calculating the amount of compensation, but Germany argues that this is an issue already resolved. How did the Second World War begin? At dawn on September 1, 1939, the German Luftwaffe (air force) bombed the city of Wielun, a town that lacked military relevance. It is estimated that thousands of people died in the bombings, designed to sow terror among the civilian po[CENSORED]tion. After the attack ordered by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Britain gave Germany an ultimatum to cease military operations. When this ultimatum was ignored, Britain and France declared war on Germany on September 3, thus beginning a 6-year conflict that would kill millions of people. How is the anniversary commemorated? In addition to the ceremony in Wielun, memorial events are also scheduled in Warsaw and at the former Westerplatte military post. In Westerplatte, where German Nazi battleships attacked a Polish military base on September 1, 1939, Morawiecki and the Vice President of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans, attended a commemorative event at dawn. "The other D-Day": the important but forgotten battle of World War II that featured African soldiers Also this Sunday, Steinmeier, Duda and Pence will deliver speeches at the ceremony at the Pilsudski Square in Warsaw, where the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is located. Major world leaders such as the president of the United States, Donald Trump, who is busy dealing with preparations for Hurricane Dorian, Frenchman Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not be present. Around 40 foreign delegations will attend the commemorations, according to the Polish presidency.

The Koenigsegg CCX is a supercar developed by the Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg. It is a two-seater of advanced technology. It is the last vehicle incorporated into the Koenigsegg CC range. The CCX is practically a new car, since its engineering was completely redesigned in many respects to comply with US regulations. UU. This is due to high demand from that market. The acronym CCX stands for "Competition Coupe X". The Koenigsegg CCX commemorates the tenth anniversary of the first test drive of the first Koenigsegg prototype, the CC. Its predecessor model, the Koenigsegg CCR, enjoyed a Guiness record as the fastest production car in the world, reaching 395 km / h in 2005, later this record would be surpassed by the Bugatti Veyron. Design Both the body and the interior of the Koenigsegg CCX contain new parts. With a new front bumper design, designed to pass the rigorous bumper evaluation, the CCX incorporates other modifications that include brake cooling, fog lights and side position lights as required by US regulations. The headlights have been slightly redesigned to meet the new line of the bumper. Technology The Koenigsegg CCX offers optional ceramic disc brakes, 382 mm in diameter on the front wheels and 362 mm on the rear wheels. These brakes have jaws of 8 pistons in front and 6 behind. Each ceramic brake disc is 2 kilograms lighter than standard discs. Another innovation is the optional carbon fiber tires. Again, each carbon rim is 3 kilograms lighter than magnesium alloy. Thus, the CCX saves 5 kilograms per wheel, becoming the car with the lowest weight on the ground. This is a way to differentiate the suspended mass from making contact with the ground. The semi-monocoque chassis is built with pre-impregnated carbon fiber combined with honeycomb and Kevlar. This use of aerospace technology, increasingly applied in cars, allows to maintain low weight, reduce size while maintaining optimal structural rigidity for handling and high impact effectiveness. Engine Perhaps the most shocking of the work done on this engine, is that they managed to adapt it to 91 octane fuel and to the strict California pollution standards without sacrificing its original power. To do this, the cylinder heads were redesigned, adding more area for the actuation of the valves. Other modifications are the new camshafts and the use of smaller double fuel injectors. The fuel tank was also replaced by a new one. The Koenigsegg V8 engine has two superchargers. The block is made of aluminum and has four valves per cylinder plus double overhead camshaft. With 4.7 liters of displacement and a compression ratio of 8.2 to 1, the 806 hp engine accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.2 seconds and allows you to develop a maximum speed of 402 km / h. Koenigsegg CCXR Koenigsegg CCXR Koenigsegg CCXR. Manufacturer Koenigsegg 2007–2010 period Type Supercar car Two-door Coupé bodies Configuration V8 4.7L rear engine, 6-speed manual transmission Dimensions 4,293 / 1,996 / 1,120 / 2,660 mm Weight 1,180 kg Designer Christian von Koenigsegg [edit data in Wikidata] Turquoise blue CCXR of the Al-Thani family stationed in London. The Koenigsegg CCXR is an "environmentally friendly" version of the CCX, powered by basically the same V8 engine with two superchargers, but adapted for use with ethanol.2 The CCXR engine settings result in more power than in the CCX, producing 1018 hp (749 kW) at 7200 rpm and 1060 Nm (782 lb-ft) of torque at 6100 rpm, it has 25% more power than the CCX, making it the third most powerful production car in the world, after the SSC Ultimate Aero TT3 and the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

Scottie Maurice Pippen (born September 25, 1965 in Hamburg, Arkansas) is a former American basketball player. Although his versatility allowed him to occupy different positions in the field, he played preferably in the eaves position. He was chosen by the Seattle Supersonics in the first round of the 1987 draft with number 5 but his rights were immediately transferred to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Olden Polynice and a subsequent conditional draft election. With the Bulls he spent two cycles, the first from 1987 to 1998 and the second between 2003 and 2004. In the middle he played at the Houston Rockets in the 1998-1999 season and at the Portland Trail Blazers from 1999 to 2003. He obtained six NBA rings (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998), was chosen 7 times in the best quintet in the league and 8 times chosen in the best defensive quintet. He is one of the 50 best players in NBA history, and participated in seven editions of the NBA Star Game. Scottie represented his national team, and won the gold medal in the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games. Career Chicago Bulls He grew up in Arkansas, where he attended college at the University of Central Arkansas. Attending a minor university, outside the NCAA circuit made some suspicions about his performance at the highest level, but his defensive ability and versatility played in his favor and a spectacular year at the University with averages of 26.3 points and 10 rebounds They led him to a good choice in the draft. He was chosen by the Seattle Supersonics in 5th place in the 1987 NBA Draft, but Jerry Krause, Bulls' Director of Operations had already noticed Pippen's young talent and soon agreed to a transfer that would lead to Arkansas to get to Chicago. The Bulls bet had an immediate response, leaving from the bench averaged 7.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists helping the Chicago team reach the second round of Playoff for the first time in the last decade. They fell 4-1 in their tie against the Pistons of Isiah Thomas but there were reasons to be happy, the future of Pippen and the Bulls was unbeatable with a young and talented team. In the following years Pippen continues its progression within the team and establishes itself as second player after Michael Jordan. In 1990 he recognized his worth being selected for the NBA All-Star Game for the first time and finally achieved his first title in 1991 against Los Angeles Lakers. Pippen and his great friend Jordan form an unstoppable couple that will lead the Bulls to win 3 consecutive championships between 1991 and 1993. Jordan's surprising withdrawal at the end of the 1993 season leaves Pippen with the possibility to prove that it is more than just a good complement for Jordan. Without the long shadow of "Air" on him, in the 93-94 season he displays his best game leading the Bulls in practically all offensive and defensive sections, he gets the MVP of the All-Star and is a serious candidate for the MVP of the regular season He led the Bulls to a mark in the 55-27 season, overcame the first round with ease against the Cleveland Cavaliers 3-0 and fell in a tight 4-3 against the New York Knicks that had the field factor at their favor. During this tie the most rocambolesque event of Pippen's professional life occurred. In the absence of 1.8 seconds for the end of the third game against the Knicks, with the score equal to 102 and 2-0 down in the series for the Bulls Phil Jackson, Chicago coach requests a timeout to prepare the play. To everyone's surprise, Pippen, the undisputed leader of the team, is not the one chosen to make this latest release but Jackson decides that Toni Kukoc is the one who throws. Pippen's anger is such that he refuses to enter the court for that last play, sits on the bench and with an upset presence the play. Kukoc receives the ball just over 6 meters from the basket, throws and scores. They are all faces of joy in the Bulls ... except in Pippen and Jackson. After this moment of tension Jerry Krause begins to consider the option of transferring Pippen to Seattle in exchange for Shawn Kemp but the mid-season return of Jordan 94-95 with the Bulls makes the waters return to their course. This season the Bulls fall again in the second round, this time against the Orlando Magic led by Shaquille O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway. Even with Jordan back, the Bulls and Pippen see each other for the second consecutive year out of the title fight. The following year the arrival of Dennis Rodman and with Pippen and Jordan in great shape achieve a historic milestone, a 72-10 mark in the regular phase that is the second best mark in the NBA (73-9 is the best mark, obtained on April 14, 2016 by Golden State Warriors). With this team as a base helped by players like Kukoc, Ron Harper and Luc Longley mainly, the Bulls get again 3 consecutive championships between 1996 and 1998.

New love in the House of Alba: Carlos Fitz-James Stuart and a Corsini heiress] And no, we are not talking about the wedding of Fernando Fitz-James Stuart and Sofia Palazuelo. Not this time. After the media hurricane aroused from the request until his return after the honeymoon, now, in the heat of the aristocratic bond, his brother Carlos has promised us that there will be a second part. Well, or at least as far as the part about being in love is concerned. And is that the youngest of the Duke of Alba, Count of Osorno, has been photographed through the streets of Madrid in affectionate attitude with Belén Corsini, one of the golden bachelors of the capital's jet, of which barely 24 hours after knowing her New and aristocratic kinship we know more details about his life. Heir to one of the fortunes of Spain Daughter of Juan Carlos Corsini Muñoz de Rivera, can claim to be the heir of one of the great fortunes of Spain. The employer holds 16 positions in seven different organizations. None of them in the Corsán Corviam construction company, founded by his great-grandfather in 1928 and whose sale 14 years ago accounted for much of the family's fortune since then. The young Belén, after studying E2 (administration and direction of companies) in ICADE, has followed the footsteps of her father in the family business. Together with him he has taken the first steps in the sector, in which, incidentally, his new boyfriend, Carlos, also develops his career. He studied at Mater Salvatoris From Madrid of all the life, Bethlehem has had a vital experience parallel to the small son of Matilde Solís. Raised in a good family, since childhood she went to a private Catholic school. Specifically, the Mater Salvatoris, a school in its day only for girls (now shares ground with his male version, Stella Maris) in which he shared recreation and facilities with other familiar faces, such as the nuptial designer Claudia Llagostera or the businesswoman and chef Cristina Oria, also married to a Corsini, by the way.

We do not know when he's dating Carlos and we probably will not start seeing him more often until he promises (if that happens). Meanwhile, it has already begun to clean up its social networks. Facebook has closed it to lime and song and on Instagram has erased all those with whom he did not maintain a close relationship. Something that Palazuelo did in his day, closing his circle of friends to the most intimate to avoid leaks of any kind. Along the same lines, Carlos and his older brother, Fernando, have always stayed, whom we have never seen at parties or social events as we have done with some of their cousins, such as Brianda or Cayetano's twins, Luis and Amina, who they debuted in society at Le Bal in Paris. Known premiums Laura Corsini is one of her best-known relatives. Distant Primas (her parents are cousins), Laura has become one of the most followed designers in Madrid. Its brand, Bimani 13 (before Biombo 13), does nothing but grow, until it becomes one of the reference firms of young women like her. It is not the only one known. Another of her second cousins, Amparo Corsini, is the daughter of the Marquis of Griñón and therefore Tamara's sister-in-law. Almost 20 years ago he married Manuel Falcó, Carlos's eldest son and heir of the nobility titles (Marquis de Castel-Moncayo and de Griñón, great of Spain). Therefore, he would follow in his footsteps to become part of the aristocratic Alba family. Sofía Palazuelo stood out again for her elegance with this glitter midi dress

PlayStation (プ レ イ ス テ ー シ ョ ン Pureisutēshon, officially abbreviated as PS1) is a 32-bit desktop video game console launched by Sony Computer Entertainment on December 3, 1994 in Japan. It is considered the most successful game console of the fifth generation in both sales and po[CENSORED]rity. In addition to the original, the PSone was launched. He had great success implanting the CD-ROM within his hardware despite the fact that other companies such as SEGA (Sega CD), Panasonic (3DO), Phillips (CD-i), SNK (Neo Geo CD), NEC (Super CD ROM ) and Atari (Atari Jaguar) had already employed him. These companies had little success using the CD-ROM as a support for storing games. It is estimated that Sony was able to sell 105,500,000 units of its game console in 10 years. The console disappeared from the market on March 23, 200 History The PlayStation was released for sale on December 3, 1994 in Japan, 5 on September 9, 1995 in the US. UU. and on September 29, 1995 in Europe. It all started with a broken contract with Nintendo in the late 1980s. Nintendo agreed with Sony, in the late 1980s, to develop for its successful Super Nintendo an appendix to incorporate games on disk, in addition to the traditional cartridge.5 The firm of video games, however, broke with the Japanese technology, neophyte then in the industry, because he considered that he gave a lot in the control and benefits derived from the sale of games on CD. Ken Kutaragi, who at that time was a Sony computer engineer passionate about video games, proposed a console that combined the graphics capabilities of a workstation and the Sony CD-ROM drive. For 2 years, Ken Kutaragi unsuccessfully sought someone somewhere in the Sony audiovisual group to support his project. He moved, along with his research, from one laboratory to another, until Teruo Tokunaka took him to see then President Norio Ohga to present his idea. The dome of Sony, remade from the beginning to enter the video game market, tried to end the adventure here. However, Kutaragi's stubbornness made the company move on. The company derived the project with Kutaragi by Sony Music so as not to take responsibility for the unpredictable consequences of the bet. The collaboration, in the end, was essential for the production of records. Until 1993, the company would not have its own videogames section, Sony Computer Entertaiment. Sony launched the PlayStation in Japan on December 3, 1994. The success was immediate. The key was in the facilities offered by the company to video game developers, excited about the great technical possibilities, the three dimensions and the disc. The developers took several economic risks by creating cartridges for Sega or Nintendo; On the contrary, Sony offered all the facilities in order to have a varied catalog of games. Soon the greats of the sector joined. Titles such as Gran Turismo, Metal Gear or Final Fantasy are fundamental history of video games. The jump to Europe and the United States was also successful. Sony chose to lower the price of its console below cost. The launch in the United States was priced at $ 299, well below the 399 of its main enemy, the Sega Saturn, completely swept. Contrary to the industry trend, Sony tried to obtain benefits derived from software and not just hardware. And he did: Sony Computer Entertaiment earnings accounted for 90% of the company. The first version of the PlayStation exceeded 100 million units sold nine years after launching it.6 Description Shape: It has the shape of a rectangular gray prism and stands out for its compact and lightweight design. With the launch of the PSOne, the PlayStation further reduced its size and weight, the extreme edges curved more and the color was a lighter gray compared to the original. The PlayStation One was the second version of the PlayStation. Top: There is the disc reader, the on / off and reset buttons are located, finally there is the button to open the CD player cover. In the PlayStation One version, the reset button is corrected as it was known in the original PlayStation and this button is relocated to the power part. Front: On the front of the console, there are a couple of gaps to connect the controls and at the top there are two slots to insert the Memory Cards (Memory Cards in English). In the fifth generation of video games, many long games appeared; It was already a requirement to have the memory cards to save the progress of the games or any customization of a game. Backside: In that place is a parallel port (which Sony removed in the latest versions of the console, allegedly to combat piracy of its games because there are accessories that, once connected to it, allow you to bypass the system protections and run games not originals), a serial port, the power input and the A / V output. By removing it, they thought they managed to combat piracy, which did not work and could be fought by other systems (by implanting chips or connecting internal cables, that in case the chip was compatible with all pirate games). Side parts: The console has small vents that allow heat dissipation. It was recommended to leave the side parts free of any object that obstructs ventilation to avoid overheating. Bottom: On the bottom there are vents; the screws that hold the housing are also located and finally, there are the information labels of the console.

Sports career Monument dedicated to Larry Bird in Boston. college The three years he was a university were about to spend at the prestigious University of Indiana, which at that time had the best basketball program in the country, led by the legendary Bobby Knight, but the magnitude of the institution overwhelmed Bird (not it was easy to move from a town with 2,000 inhabitants to a university campus with more than 33,000 students) who returned to his hometown where he worked in various trades, until he finally joined the ranks of the smaller Indiana State University.17 His career was spectacular: he led his team to the NCAA final against the University of Michigan State, where at that time a young man named Magic Johnson shone with his own light.18 At the individual level, he won several awards, such as the prestigious Naismith Award, 19 was chosen Player of the Year by the well-known sports magazine Sporting News, chosen twice as a component of the best national quintet, and averaging 30.3 points (fifth best mark in the history of the NCAA), 13.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists. Professional 1979-1981: Immediate Impact Bird got 14 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in his NBA debut against Houston Rockets on October 12, 1979. He was chosen by the Boston Celtics in the 1978 NBA Draft in sixth place, in what was a new Red Auerbach master move, taking advantage of his short time at the University of Indiana made him eligible a year before finishing his tour in Indiana State, and drafting it well ahead of the other teams. In return, Auerbach had to wait a year to count on the player, since his attempts to convince him to leave the university were immediately unsuccessful. Bird then signed a contract for $ 650,000 annually, a record number for a rookie. Shortly after, the rules would change so that the teams could not choose players who were not prepared to make the leap to the professional league. The impact of Larry Bird on the Celtics was immediate: the team, which came from a negative record of 29 wins and 53 losses in the 1978-79,22 season the following year achieved 61 wins and 21 losses, finishing as the team with Best percentage of games won. His great rival at the university, Magic Johnson, went on to professionals that same year with Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he had a tremendous rivalry to win the Rookie prize of the year, which he would eventually receive from Indiana.23 He was also chosen for the All-Star Game of the season (something that would be repeated in his 12 years as a professional). He led the Celtics in scoring (21.3 points per game), rebounds (10.4), number of steals (143) and minutes played (2,955), being second in assists (4.5) and three-point shots ( 58) .24 Although his team was defeated in the Eastern Conference finals by Philadelphia 76ers, it was confirmed that the Boston team had a space reserved for future glory days. The following year the Celtics would take over the services of center Robert Parish and the third election of the 1980 draft, in a transaction with Golden State Warriors, who in return received the option of the first and the 13th draft election.25 After the Warriors chose Joe Barry Carroll and the Utah Jazz to Darrell Griffith in second place, the Celtics chose Minnesota University power forward Kevin McHale.26 With Bird as a forward, the additions of Parish and McHale they allowed Boston to have one of the best frontcourts in the league. The three would form the basis of some Celtics destined for high levels.

The Ferrari 308 GTB is a sports car manufactured by the Italian company Ferrari in the 1970s and 1980s. It occupied the lower end of the manufacturer's range. This car replaced the Ferrari Dino 246 in 1975 and was replaced in 1985 by the Ferrari 328. Design The design of the 308 GTB was made by Pininfarina1 and was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 as a complement to Bertone of the Dino 308 GT4 and substitute for the Dino 246. Unlike the 2 front seats plus 2 rear seats of the GT4, the GTB It was two seats, with an aggressive line that has been rated as one of the most beautiful lines of all Ferraris. The 308 GTS (detachable roof) were introduced in 1977 and became famous on television with the Magnum P.I. Several cars were used in this series, specifically, a new one every season, of which most were auctioned after the recording. Mechanics The mechanics are similar to Dino's. Both sit on tubular chassis, with 2300 mm (90.6 in) 308 GTB wheelbase (the 308 GT4 has a longer wheelbase, because it is a 2 + 2). The V8 is a design DOHC engine, with four Weber 40DCNF carburetors. The European versions produced 255 hp (188 kW) at 7000 rpm (7700 rpm red line), but the American version was reduced to 240 hp (177 kW) and at 6600 rpm due to emission control devices. Bodywork A highlight of the first 308 GTB was that, although still built by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, the body was completely made of fiberglass reinforced plastic (or GRP), allowing a very light weight of only 1050 kg (2315 lb ). The engine borrowed its dry sump lubrication from the experience of Ferrari racing cars. This lasted until June 1977, when the body of the 308 began to be constructed in steel, which resulted in an alleged additional overweight of 150 kg (331 lb). However, the truth is that a GTB with body steel body weighed only 12 kg (26 lb) more than its fiberglass counterpart. All steel fabricated versions of the 308 GTS have conventional wet sump lubrication, while GTB models maintain dry sump lubrication until 1981. Data The 308 models are the most common among Ferrari historical models, with more than 12,000 cars manufactured. However, only 712 units of the first fiberglass version (1975-1977) were manufactured, with dry sump lubrication, for which the demand is now very high by collectors. The Ferrari 308 models are well received by today's fans and critics. In 2004, Sports Car Internacional magazine placed this car at number five on the list of the best sports cars of the 1970s.
