Disney already knows where to build his next great theme park: Abu Dhabi. And he will not cost him a cent

by

Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates are immersed in a particular war: to become the focus of large investments to create structures that They seem like science fiction. When one announces a project, the other responds. An example is the battle to see Who builds the highest building. And that same war is in the world of attraction parks. Saudi Arabia It will have the ‘Dragon Ball’but Emirates has just won the fat prize: Disney has announced that its seventh large park will be in Abu Dabi. And the best thing for Disney is that it will be free. {“Videid”: “X9J5TW8”, “Autoplay”: True, “Title”: “Disney and Miral Announce New Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “150”} Short. It has rained a lot since Disney opened its last amusement park. Shanghai Disneyland It was its sixth Resort Park and opened in June 2016. It was a milestone of more than 90 hectares with some important changes (such as the typical American ‘main street’, but the ” the ”Mickey Avenue‘), And now Disney seems prepared to make the leap to a new territory. In a brief ad Yas Island. It is a site that is not alien to entertainment, since it is where the circuit of Formula 1 from Yas Marina, where is the theme park Ferrari World And where is also the Warner Bros Movie World. In Xataka The incredible history of marriage that lived 15 years in Disneyland without visitors realizing Plum. Disney will put the licenses and one eye on the project, but to give life to the park will take care of Miral. It is a group of Arab Emirates that is the same as Ferrari’s theme park operates and the truth is that it is not something alien to the mouse company. Tokyo Disneyland was the first outside the United States and already developed it with an external company, and the same happened with Shanghai’s. And something interesting is that it is a play that can leave the company very well. As we read in CNBCthis expansion in Abu Dabi is not part of the 60,000 million dollars that Disney will invest Through the next decade to improve their parks. Apparently, the entire cost of the project will be assumed by Miral and Disney will be in charge of what we commented: to yield the intellectual property of their creations and collect the benefits for royalties. Castles in the air. From the park, yes, it is known between little … and nothing. Beyond the conceptual image that leads these lines, everything else seems like a message too formal. That if it will combine the history, characters and iconic attractions of Disney with the vibrant culture of Abu Dhabi, that if it will be a world class destiny for entertainment and a path between the Middle East, Africa, India, Asia and Europe … and that will be on the coast (there is no other in Yas Island). It is expected that it is not very different from the other parks of the company, since in this Disney has a fairly clear policy and a iron control with which he can give his arm to twist in some elements (the aforementioned ‘Main Street’ absent in the Shanghai park), but with a very defined structure. Nor has there been talk of what attractions the park will have. In Xataka Eating in an amusement park is usually expensive. Then is this Michelin star restaurant by Disney World Parks War. What is clear is that the territory was very juicy for the Bob Iger company. The region is trying to separate itself from the oil business to focus on other sources of income, and there tourism plays a clear role. A brand as recognized as Disney is a caramel too juicy because it is known worldwide, and here it is something that the figures send. Despite the Challenges In parks such as Shanghai or Hong Kong, the company’s parks They generated 8,889 million dollars in the last fiscal quarter of this 2025. It is an interannual growth of 6% (and yes, they grow, but Not to the rhythm they want). It only remains to be expected that Miral, which also has the Warner Bros park of the island, begins with the construction. In the end, this new Disney park is one more piece in that particular war between Emirates and Saudi Arabia (with the imposing park Six flags of qiddiya), but also a strategic decision for a Sector of the Thematic Parks that is burning with Universal and its ‘Harry Potter’ or ‘Mario’ parks, and Warner’s to the other.

The Benidorm of North Korea is about to open. Your problem is how to fill the crazy number of rooms

by

In October 2024 confirmed the plan that had Pyonyang in hands. Benidorm is only one, but if tourism has become the Economic engine Of so many nations, they did not want to stay in the saga. Thus, North Korea announced that the ambitious project to turn Wonsan into a kind of Benidorm to the Korean There was a stern wind. The idea is now about to become a reality, it is called Wonsan-Kalma, and the number of rooms has gone hand in hand. An unparalleled resort. As we have gone countingKim Jong’s ambitious tourism project on the Kalma Peninsula, on the east coast of North Korea, seeks to position itself as one of the world’s greatest holiday complexes. A fact exposes the intentions: it has an estimated capacity between 7,000 and 20,000 rooms. Conceived as a tourist city from scratch, the resort Wonsan Kalma is described by analysts as the most huge tourism project ever driven by the regime. Announced Back in 2014the complex suffered multiple delays attributable to international sanctions and then at the closure of borders during the pandemic. However, its opening is already planned for June, and the regime has rehearsed a shy reopening to international tourism, although the economic viability of the resort remains deeply uncertain. Tourism as a strategy. Kim conceives the resort not only as a source of income in foreign currency, but as showcase of power and the modernity of your regime. However, the attractiveness of the enclave is in question: experts like Bruce W. Bennett and Marcus Noland They explained this week The doubts that foreign visitors attract in sufficient quantity to justify their huge investment. The logical basis of the project, which presumably aspired to capture South Korean tourists for its proximity and purchasing power, collides with the diplomatic impossibility of allowing them to enter. Meanwhile, and as We explain weeks agoRussian agencies have begun Offer tour packets for Citizens of Vladivostokbut even there the enthusiasm is doubtful. Russian travelers, According to the operators themselvesThey continue to prefer traditional destinations such as Thailand or Dubai. Oasis restricted to internal consumption. Thus, another plausible strategy of the regime would be to take advantage of the resort as an internal control and reward mechanism. They counted in Insider that the facilities could be used as an incentive for loyal citizens or exemplary workers, and the complex is designed with areas reserved for presidential delegations and suites. The problem? As Bennett points outaccess will be rigorously segregated, mainly to prevent North Korean citizens from entering foreign visitors. This structure reinforces the propaganda nature of the resort that, a priori, would serve more as a political showcase than as a real tourism center (something similar To “little manhattan” They raised recently). Structural limitations. Despite the monumental effort, the project drags many of the endemic problems of the regime. The Lack of experience North Korean in the hotel industry and the rigid state censorship are important obstacles to offer a credible tourist experience. In addition, recent history of the Ryugyong Hotel (That unfinished skyscraper for decades and symbol of North Korean failed excess) remains a latent warning. Plus: Kim’s fear of the free flow of information is incompatible with the logic of contemporary tourism. Therefore, although it is seen of modernity and luxury, it is likely to end up being Another monumental decorationwithout sufficient and useful tourists only as a propaganda tool. There is several examples similar A “diplomatic” letter. If you want, in parallel, the complex can be seen as a piece on the diplomatic board. In 2018, Trump had suggested Kim towill help your “big beaches” For economic development, and it is not ruled out that the resort is used precisely as a symbolic gesture in future negotiations, especially if Pyongyang seeks recognition as a nuclear power. Remember that the nation already has made “resort” For Russian soldiers. In that context, Kalma can always fluctuate, like promise or threat: It can be used to show openness or reinforce the cult of the leader. If so, Kim Jong Un, determined to differentiate himself from his predecessors, could see in “his Benidorm” not only a tourist destination, but a political statement to the world.

Asian algae are becoming a huge problem

by

In 2019, someone from the Tarifa City Council had The idea of ​​moving Asian algae (Rugulopterix Okamurae) that accumulated on their beaches to a landfill near the water treatment plant. It was an effective idea. Until it ceased to be. Today, They recognize that “they no longer know what to do.” They have a problem of more than five million euros that does not stop becoming more and bigger. And rate is just the best known example. Only “15,000 tons are collected in Ceuta. Antonio Vegara Jiménez said in Newtral. Despite all efforts, last year invading algae They started arriving in Galicia. That is, the thing gets serious. An ecological, economic and social problem. Every summer, millions of people approach the coast looking for sun, good weather, crystalline waters and clean sands. And it is increasingly difficult to find it. Instead of a beautiful Mediterranean beach, which are usually increasingly tourists and locals is that brown, viscous and smelly mass left by the “invading algae” when dying. In Spain, it is not necessary or remember, the beaches are A huge economic resource. At the tourist level, but also at the fishing level. Algae are threatening Some of the country’s main industries And the truth is that the coordinated response shines for its absence. For more than a decade, each town hall has made the war on their own and, let’s be honest, they are losing it. But why they are so dangerous. By its extraodinarily aggressive behavior. This species grows very fast, is very versatile and has almost no native predator. Therefore, it displaces native algae, drastically reduces biodiversity and cause innumerable problems for artisanal fishing, aquaculture, tourism, the funding of vessels and municipal management (that brown mass has urban waste consideration). How have you get there? In 2002 they began to see in France and for 2015, they were located in Ceuta. Possibly, it was due to merchandise ships, a well -known vector of invasive species. From there, its expansion has been rapid: first the Gibraltar field, then Málaga, Granada, and now other coastal regions. And what can we do? That is the worst: there are no miraculous solutions. Marine biologists warn that, once an invasive species is established and finds favorable conditions, eradicating it is almost impossible. Therefore, many researchers and businessmen They are starting to make the need virtue and seek to turn it into a resource (something that would help finance its management). But for now the situation leaves much to be desired. It is not the end of the story. Because what we are seeing with the Rugulopteryx Okamurae It is not exactly an isolated phenomenon. Em Mediterranean is changing and we don’t know where it will take that. Every year, driven by climate change, maritime traffic and alteration of marine ecosystemsS, more invasive species find a new home on the Spanish coast. With the economic and ecological future of our coastline, the most desperate thing is that the evidence tells us that we have no administrative instruments to face this problem. And when we decide to take action on the matter, it will probably be late. The safest thing is that it is already.

130 meters with batteries equivalent to 550 model and

by

The transport network electrification To reduce emissions as much as possible is one of the challenges that companies and countries are facing. He electric car It is what catches us more closely, but where we also see progress is in the electric plane and in him maritime transport sector. And, in this sense, Latin America has taken a giant step with its new 100% electric ferry: the ‘China Zorrilla’. So much that it is already the largest electric ferry on the planet. Enormous. The ferry is a good starting point to start the electrification of the sea. Among its advantages is the Reduction of direct emissionsbut also lower maintenance costs (in theory) and a significant reduction in Submarine noisebeneficial for life in that environment. According to estimates, electrifying the 50 -meter length ferris to cover 100 -kilometer routes would save 50% fossil fuel in this segment, but what the ‘China Zorrilla’ has done is, as we see in MotorpasionDemential. And it is because of its dimensions. It measures 130 meters long, 32 wide and has capacity for 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles. The ship has just been thrown into the Hobart shipyard in Australia, where it has been built, and the idea is to communicate the Argentine cities of Buenos Aires and Colonia de Sacramento, in Uruguay. It is a journey of about 55 kilometers that will cover three times a day. To batteries. The electrification problem is the same, whatever the vehicle: batteries. The larger and more capacity need, the larger and more heavy the batteries will be. In the case of ‘China Zorrilla’, these batteries have about 5,000 modules with a weight of about 280 tons. It is an absolute barbarity and, to put this in context, its creators They affirmed which is equivalent to batteries of 850 electric cars. It is the largest battery installed on a boat and its total capacity is 40 MWh. Let’s put the battery of the Tesla Model and Long Range with its 78.4 kWh. They are 0.0784, and the rapid calculations is that the ‘China Zorrilla’ has the capacity of almost 550 model and long rage. It is crazy for a 55 -kilometer journey, but in the end it is the ‘price’ of moving such a monster. And the load? Another mocked. It is the big question that may arise. If, despite the advances in speed, loading an electric car already has a considerable amount of time, what happens if we have to load a 40 MWh battery? The answer is simple: High power electroles. Specifically, giant ‘plugs’ that will admit 15 MW charges. The idea is that these loaders are in both ports, being able to recharge during the eviction and shipping of passengers with 24 MWh capacity. In theorythe 20% to 80% recharge will take about forty minutes and it is estimated that the night load pulls renewable energy, especially in the Uruguayan port. Without rival. Due to the type of controlled journeys that make this type of ships, their electrification is a very interesting idea that is already being explored in other parts of the world. In Spain, we have the ‘Barbarian Cap‘, a ferry that joins Ibiza with Formentera and has a battery of just 1 MWh. Is owned by Balearia, a company that is already shaping A much more ambitious project: Unite rate and tangier. There will be two 100% electric ferries with a total capacity of up to 39 MWh that is also provided that are loaded in 40 minutes in the ports and that will have something very interesting to reduce times: arms in the ports that will replace batteries. It will also have diesel support engines in case things are twisted and capacity for 804 passengers and 225 cars. In this sense, the ‘China Zorilla’ seems to continue reigning in the limited segment of electric ferries. And, in case you are wondering, the name of the ship pays tribute to the Uruguayan actress Concepción Matilde Zorrilla.

The idea of ​​”a house for a lifetime” without fear of move

by

In the Barcelona of the 21st century, the houses are no longer taken in which one is born, raised, pushes roots and even ends up founding a new family that takes over. Send the change. The horizons for a handful of years seen. That is one of the main conclusions of the report of the Economic and Social Consell of Barcelona (CESB) On the city’s residential park, its area and the Metropolitan Region. It reveals that more or less half Of the neighbors of the Catalan capital they have changed residence or will do so throughout the decade between 2018 and 2027. The big question is: why? Houses for life. The concept of “house for a lifetime” is falling in Barcelona. He last report On its residential park presented yesterday by CESB, it shows that the removals are the order of the day in the Catalan capital and many of its neighbors have changed their house or will do so over the next few years. “An important part of the population expects that it will change housing in the five years after the survey,” Clarify the report of CESB, which is based on a survey made in 2022. Although the survey was conducted several years ago their conclusions are interesting because they show an increase in moving plans among the Barcelona population. Specifically, it has detected an increase of 12.6% compared to the 2017 data. “The Condal city especially records a high change in housing,” They slide Its authors. And what does the report reveal? Thanks to the combination of several sources, the study of CESB provides an “radiography” of residential mobility in Barcelona, ​​the rest of the area and the whole of the Metropolitan Region, a wide territory by which they are distributed 2.2 million homes. The most interesting data is those of the Ciudad Ciudad, where 35.5%of the population provided for changing housing during the five years of the survey, conducted in 2022. In the rest of the Barcelona area they had move plans around a third (29%) of the neighbors and in the region 25.8%. That is the short -term forecast, between 2022 and 2027. The other great question that the report answers is … How many people have already changed residence in recent years? According to its calculations, during the five years prior to the survey, 30.4% of the population of the city. In the rest of the conurbation it was made by 23.1% and in the external crown that completes the Metropolitan Region 25.1%. And what is the general photo? “If changes are combined in the last five years and the forecast of the next five shows how about half of the population of each of the areas has changed housing or plans to do so during the 2018-2027 period,” collect the report Sector published yesterday by CESB. “The city is especially suffering from a high change, being the only area where more than half of the population (50.7%) is expected to change housing throughout that period.” Subscribers to the removals. That the specific case of Barcelona has caught the attention of the technicians is not explained so much for the number of people who have already moved or plan to do so as for those who fit both profiles. That is, Barcelona who have changed home in recent years and plan to do it again. In the Catalan capital They represent 14.9% of the population, compared to 9.1% of the conurbation and 8.5% of the rest of the region. “In conclusion, a high rate of housing is observed throughout the Metropolitan Region, with especially high figures in Barcelona, ​​where more than half of the people are expected during the period analyzed,” The report concludes. “Especially serious is the situation of that 15% of Barcelona who plan to change housing twice in just ten years, with the difficulties that this can behave when it comes to vital stability or roots in the territory.” Why do they move? CESB also answers that doubt. And its conclusion is striking: the main reason that leads the population to change home is “to improve housing or the environment.” That is the reason behind 34.7% of the removals counted in Barcelona and about 40% of those registered in the metropolitan area and the region. The second reason (28.2% in the Catalan capital) is the desire to form a home or other family reasons. Interestingly, the report itself indicates that in a significant part (and also growing) of homes reside only one or two people. And prices? The economic factor is also behind not a few moves, although it motivates less than the search for better locations or family motifs. The study indicates that almost a quarter (24.5%) of the changes registered in the city in recent years respond to “economic reasons” or “forced” reasons and alien to the will of those who reside in housing, such as a demolition, an expulsion or the end of a contract. That reason is far superior to that of moving for labor reasons, which explain between 5 and 10% of residences changes. “Regarding the forecasts for the next five years, about half of the people who plan to change floor plan to do so to improve their own home or environment,” They abound. The economic or force majeure reasons are maintained in third place in the ranking, behind the relatives, although they lose strength: it is estimated that they will go from 24.5% to 14.7%. What is the context? CESB has presented the study in a complex context, marked by The increase of housing (both in the lease market and in the sale) and The pressure exercised by holiday rental, which has even taken Barcelona to Declare war to tourist floors. Such is the situation that housing has become The main concern of its neighbors, tied with insecurity. The CESB report also provides other interesting data that help complete the radiography of the Barcelona Residential Park and its area, such as 15.9% of … Read more

I had been there for 30,000 years

by

It is no secret since some of the species that preceded the Homo sapiens They were able not only to use tools but also capable of molding and manufacturing them. And this not only refers to our “close relatives” of the genre Homolike Neanderthals or H. erectus: Millions of years ago that our ancestors already carved stones in their African habitat. A Neanderthal tool. However, it has not been until now that we have realized that a spearhead made with bone, the oldest found in Europe, It had been manufactured by a group of Neanderthals. The dating has placed its manufacture at a point between 80,000 and 70,000 years ago, before the arrival of our species to the continent. Although we knew that Neanderthals (like other previous species) were able to manufacture and use tools, to date we used to consider that Neanderthals only used stones as the main element of their utensils. The use of bones as a raw material was created a subsequent “invention”, of the sapiens. 2003. The protagonist of this story is a bone spearhead found in 2003 in the Russian cave of Mezmaiskaya, located in the northern Caucasus. The bone I could have belonged to an animal of considerable size, such as a bison. Before arrival. He study of this artifact He took the team responsible for the new study to conclude that European Neanderthals managed to develop this “technology”, before coming into contact with our species during the upper Paleolithic. Of course, the team indicates that the use of bone tip weapons was at a “nascent level” if compared to those introduced in Eurasia by the Homo sapiens. Bituminous residue. In addition to the bone, the team also lent Attention to adhesive Employee to join the tip to the body of the spear. Through various methodologies, including infrared and spectroscopy microscopy, the team studied the bituminous residue of what would have been the adherent used in the weapon and determined that it would have been linked to a body made of wood. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Journal of Archaeological Science. A key transition. Although the idea that Neanderthals were a species that in a matter of reasoning had little to envy ours, the notion that they always went “a rebufo” of the sapiens is difficult to eliminate. While the arrival of modern humans meant important changes in prehistoric Europe, It is difficult to determine In what instances were a transfer of knowledge and techniques and in what instances the Neanderthals were able to develop certain technologies. An example of this we have in The glue. Today we know that Neanderthals were able to develop compound glue that they used in their tools instead of simple glue (such as bituminous). This is not limited to the case of Neanderthals. A recent study Made in one of the oldest known African deposits, Olduvai’s, showed evidence of the use of bone tools more than one million years ago in time, even before the appearance of the first Homo sapiens.

Why we get eating spaghetti

by

The physics of little things is an expression that surely brings us atoms and subatomic particles, or takes us to the field of quantum physics. But we could also for refer to everyday lifewhich is also the object of the interest of this science. And in this everyday, we could say that spaghetti dishes score very high. A few weeks ago, the British chain BBC I reviewed Of the multiple times that this pasta dish had been the protagonist in some scientific research. From how to create ultrafine spaghetti to its viscoelastic capacity, through the problem of Feynman spaghetti, and without forgetting the science of their sauces. The list is not short. But among all these brave analyzes, perhaps the most daily is the one who tried to answer the question: why is it so difficult to eat spaghetti without staining? A little over 75 years ago, George F. Carrier set out to answer this question. Brown University mathematician enunciated the details of his solution through a Article published in 1949 In the magazine The American Mathematical Monthly Under the title “The problem of spaghetti”(The Spaghetti Problem). “There are two problems concerning with the lateral vibrations of the strings that should be of considerable popular and academic interest: (the first is) the problem of describing the motion of a rope in finite length that is vertically ocekerly through a hole (this is obviously related to the title (of the academic article)),” Carrier introduced. The second of the problems refers to a problem related to the oscillation of the guitar strings. In its section dedicated to the “problem of spaghetti”, Carrier formalized through equations the movement of these strings, a movement that we can apply to The lashes given by the spaghetti When they are absorbed, whipping that in turn are capable of spreading the sauce that bathes this pasta leaving everything lost around. Including, of course, the diner (and possibly its companions). The other food science As little ones, they probably teach us not to play with food, but it is not uncommon for scientists of very varied disciplines to experience it and do so in a way that might seem banal. Or even hilarious. From Convert an apple In the unexpected symbol of gravity until a certain obsession In trying things of the strangest, the history of science is full of examples that illustrate this obsession with food. For example, we have the collaborative effort that was unleashed when a microbiologist found that this soup that had forgotten in the fridge had become blue. The curiosity to know which organism had dyed that broth He unleashed a soap opera of several weeks in which different laboratories in different geographical areas collaborated to answer the question. An accurate formula for find experiments Rocambolescos is attending to the palmarés of the Awards Nobel IGthat every year they reward absurd and funny science, which “first makes people laugh, and then make them think”, according to the promoters themselves, the magazine Annals of improbable researcch. We found one of these examples at the 2004 ceremony, in which the Public Health Award was taken an analysis of the “Five second rule”That is, a study on whether the time elapsed between the fall of a food to the ground and the moment in which we collect it affects its health. Ten years later, the award would be for an IRTA-Food Safety Program team, which study If some gastric bacteria isolated from baby feces could serve as a crop to obtain probiotics. One of the most recent examples is found in 2023, with the Award to A study dedicated to the viability of enhance the taste of food through slight electric shocks. Because the science that answers the big doubts also serves to answer the small questions. In Xataka | We have found “spaghetti” on Mars.

Three methods to do it with few clicks

by

Let’s tell you three methods to release space in Windows 11 with few clicksso that you can delete a lot of leftover files. In the end, just using the computer you end up accumulating various types of temporary files that are useless, but occupy space. In Xataka Basics we have already told you How to clean Windows in depthbut now we are going to focus on faster methods. Thus, if you do not have time for thorough cleaning, you will be able to perform a quick eliminating a lot of leftover files and accumulated garbage. Access temporary files One of the fastest methods is to open the Windows start menu and write Execute. When you do, In the written dialog box %TMP% and click on Accept. This will open the file explorer in the folder where all the temporary files that you have compiled since the last time you clean. Once you are in this folder, you just have to select and delete all files temporal. Before doing, be sure to have all closed programs and applications to avoid problems. And do not worry, because in the case of erasing something that a program needs, the temporary file will be lowered. Use storage settings Another option is to resort to the tool designed by Windows for this task. To do so, enter the Windows configuration, click on Systemand then Storage. In it, you can see immediately The space you are using on your hard drivesalso indicating what things are going to you.

by

For car lovers, Supercars They are admiration articles. They suppose the culmination of aesthetics (Sometimes questionable) and the power at the service of a single purpose: The speed. We are accustomed to certain brands that Mark the guideline In the segment of this type of sports, but sometimes there are those who skip the ‘rules’ to create His own sports. It was the case of the extravagant ASVE AREX SUPER COUPE, a car created by a Disney retired actor. And the craziest is not that, but redefined brands like Toyota and that that unique sports in the world has been auctioned by what a dacia costs. Change of airs. The name of David John Stollery III It may not sound to you at all. He was born in 1941 and was a child actor who starred in Disney films in the 50 and some series in later times. However, there was something that did Tilín more than the performance: mechanics and cars design. That is why he retired from the Disney factory to study Art Center College of Design And, later, he joined the ranks of General Motors. There he worked as a designer, but it was not where he flourished. Something had to see Toyota in the young designer, who hired him to work in his center in California, where he also allowed him to open the first design center of the Japanese brand in US territory: the Calty Design Research. Toyota Celica ’78. It was in 1973 when he began working with Noritsuna Watanabe and the goal was not simple: redefine the future of the brand’s vehicles, with an eye on the tastes of the Americans, very different from those of the Japanese. Stollery and his team began to work and, after a couple of concepts, the Californian division gave birth to the new generation of the mythical celica that so many so many We have driven in video games. He Toyota Celica of 1978 remained that approach to Mustang of Ford, but now with 2.2 -liter engines for the US market and two finishes models depending on the buyer’s pocket. From there, generation after generation was improved to become a banner of Japanese consumption sports. The Celica del 78 Restless rear. In total, Stollery directed the design of 22 models of the Japanese firm between commercial and conceptual models, but the designer wanted something else. Thus, in 1983, Stollery founded his own design and prototyped cars study: the Industrial Design Research with which he could accept orders of external signatures, but also give free rein to his creative vision. Among those clients was Toyota, but also Subaru, Chrysler, Mazma, Renault or General Motors. And among the projects were the Foreaeroa rare mixture between 750cc car and motorcycle with three wheels of which only 30 and its great work were built: the Asve Arex. ASVE AREX SUPER COUPE. We are facing a supercar that Stollery perfected for almost two decades and had brutal benefits. With a tip speed of 320 km/Hy, an acceleration of 0-100 in three seconds, the 400 hp V8 engine of an LT1 Corvette with central location and rear traction should be like an indomitable horse. ASVE AREX has a double fork suspension on the four wheels, butterfly doors, very pointed lines and a strange nose inspired by the aviation segment. It was a unique unit, literally, since it was conceived as a sample of his company’s creative and technological potential. A bargain. It was never manufactured in series and Stollery, who used it until 2019 decided to donate it to the museum Zimmerman Automobile Driving That same year. However, things did not go too well and, with the closing of the museum, this juicy piece has been auctioned. There was no minimal price and … How much would you say that a work can achieve so unique created by a team that you knew what you did? Surely, think about the figure you think, it is too high for which it has ended up. Because, as we read in Car and DriverThe World Worldwide Auctiques House closed the bid at $ 25,000. It is an extremely curious price for what this car means and for what we say: it is a unique piece in the world. But well, the auctions sometimes have these things, as a rarity goes so unnoticed. And, speaking of rare things, IDR has also designed during these years … Towers for beach guards. It is curious and we can see the Designs on a website to which, Stollery, if you allow me the advice … we would have to take a walk as far as design is concerned.
