For this concept, Lexus designers studied characteristics that are often considered contradictory and difficult to execute together,” said Kengo Matsumoto, general manager, Lexus Design Division, Toyota Motor Corporation. “The captivating design of the LF-Gh concept examines the possibility of balancing what are normally opposing qualities, such as style and functionality.”

Cadillac Ciel Concept

The Cadillac Ciel Concept - pronounced "C-L," the French translation for sky - is a four-seat convertible that opens a new chapter in Cadillac's design and product ascent, pushing the brand's Art & Science philosophy into a new stratum. Ciel is a new expression of Cadillac's historical grandeur, as well as a celebration of open-air motoring.
"Large, expressive luxury is innate to Cadillac and the Ciel recalls that heritage, while suggesting where the brand can go in the future," said Clay Dean, global design director for Cadillac. "Authentic luxury is driven by experiences, not just products, and Ciel is about the experience of the journey."
The spacious and elegant Cadillac Ciel Concept is a grand gesture that explores themes driving Cadillac's explorations into range-topping flagship luxury. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6-liter Direct Injection V-6 engine, paired with a hybrid system using lithium-ion battery technology.
Coastal inspiration



Driving California's Highway 1 in an open car while the sun sets, from Big Sur north to Monterey, is the type of journey the Ciel team envisioned during its design.
"The Ciel is about the romance of the drive," said Dean. "It emulates the great touring cars seen on the greens at Pebble Beach, but with a modern flair that projects Cadillac's vision for the future."



The four-door Cadillac Ciel Concept embraces the social aspects of a recreational journey, with generous room for two couples. It evokes the spirit of the classics with a long, low proportion. The doors are French-style, with the rear doors hinged at the rear - there is no B-pillar - to reveal a sweeping view of the dramatic interior. Distinguishing fender lines run from nose to tail, and nickel-plated bright work accents the body lines, enhancing the visual length of the car and honoring Cadillac touring cars of the past.

Use Powerful Forklift Parts In Your Truck

by: John Anthony

Forklifts are powered industrial trucks used in a number of industrial and warehousing applications. Forklifts are used in lifting and transporting huge loads and cargo. Important forklift truck accessories include rotators, roll clamps and carton clamps as standard attachments. Rotators help in handling skids and other speciality materials. Roll clamps are of two types: mechanical or hydraulic. These forklift truck attachments are used for handling barrels or paper rolls.

Today forklift truck attachments are available separately to meet the varying needs of a single user. The user can use these forklift truck accessories on a standard forklift by simply attaching the desired attachment on it. Forktruck attachments are available for lifting heavy loads and moving them in areas that are difficult to reach. Quick-tach truss boom is one such attachment that yields greater manoeuvrability during construction works. Hoppers and self dump buckets are used in cleaning the debris and unwanted materials from work sites. Carton clamps are another type of attachments that enable the lift operator to open and close the clamp around the load allowing it to pick it up smoothly.

Forklifts are hazardous machines, so they should be handled with care. Finding the right forklift truck accessories is therefore important. Before attaching any forklift truck attachments on the equipment, you should ensure that they meet the OSHA guidelines and are matching the specifications of the forklifts in use. It is dangerous to overload the forklifts. The allowable weight is labelled on every machine, so it is advised that you strictly follow those instructions. Overloading will result in skidding and overturning. This may bring huge damage to people and property, so care should be taken to avoid such mishaps. By using the best quality forklift truck accessories you can avoid accidents.

Selecting the right accessories and forklift truck attachments helps you save hugely on the cost of operation. If you are equipped with the right forklift, you can get the work done in an efficient manner. Forklifts are available in a variety of sizes and specifications. If you are buying forklift truck accessories, you must ensure that they suit the machine and are able to carry out the work effectively. Never overestimate the power of forklift parts and its accessories. All parts and accessories of the forklifts have to be maintained regularly so that they perform efficiently ensuring safety and satisfaction to workers.

If you are planning to buy or hire a forklift truck, go for good quality trucks from famous brands like Linde Material Handling, Raymond, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Hyster and Atlet. They are the leading manufacturers of http://www.tradepub.com/free-offer/global-finance/gf?sr=hicat&_t=hicat:1057  forklift trucks, so you can rely on their products confidently. Identify the authorised dealers of these companies and get the best quality product that suits your budget. If your budget is low, you may opt for used forklifts and fork truck attachments which are also available as fully functional.

Buying a used forklift will be a great deal for those who cannot afford for new ones.
