bugatti VS porsche911

The sports cars are very fast and expensive. There are two cars which I will compare. The first one is the Bugatti and the second car is the Porsche 911 turbo. They are both famous.The super cars have some similarities and differences. The first similarity is they are coupes (two passengers only) and they are used for the race. The other thing is that have a nice balance in the street, and they have also comfortable seats so that the passenger can be more relaxed while he drives.There are some similarities as we know and there are also some differences. The first difference is the price. The Bugatti price is $1.6 M(www.rsportscars.com/bugatti) and the Porsche 911 price is $500,000. The second difference is the horse power. The Bugatti is 1001hp and the Porsche 911 is 480hp. Another difference is the top speed. The Bugatti top speed is 253 mph(www.rsportscars.com/bugatti/2009) and the Porsche 911 is 200mph. The final difference is the weight. The Porsche is lighter than the Bugatti which is 3750lb for the Porsche 911 and 5000lb for the Bugatti.There are some interesting points. One of the points is the Bugatti engine has carbon parts and they use special wheels to avoid blowing up of tyres. The interesting point about the Porsche is that they used a turbo for the gasoline engine(http:www.autos.aol.com/cars-Porsche-911-2009)and it’s something new for the Porsche to use it and it gives the same power of a petrol engine. Also they use a high performance brake which can stop in seconds from a high speed.The two supercars are made for the rich people who have money and can buy them. Not all of the sports cars are for races. Some of them are made for pride.

Natural paradise gets protection

Summary:
There are many tough places such as the Hajar Mountains. One team started to recognize the place and think how we can protect this beautiful area. Then,they found some problems. One of the main problems is how we can save the animals and plants. After that they started to develop the area after they received orders from the ruler but the drawback here is who will sponsor this project. As you know we need a lot of money to build the centre. At the end, this area is one of the best places in the UAE for tourists and visitors.
Main idea:
It is not easy to protect the natural paradise but if you have money you can do anything.
Comment:
It is a good article because I am from the UAE and I don't Know this place. I hope one day that I go to this area and see what's there.
