Power comes from a 6.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged with dual intercoolers. The car has a full carbon fibre body and chassis. Further details remain sparse, but the automaker says it will sell the car for £360,000, which should translate to around $500,000

It looks like Buffalo hasn’t met a memory card it didn’t like, finding room for just about every format under the sun in it’s new MCR-C12H/U2 series card reader, although they sure know how to stretch the definition of individual card types. Still, marketing hype aside, the so-called “28-in-1″ reader packs support for most everything you could ask for, including seemingly every variation of SD, mini/microSD, xD, CompactFlash, and Memory Stick — and, with the aid of a fresh firmware update, SDHC cards up to 4GB as well (making it a 29-in-1 reader if you follow Buffalo’s logic). Our friends in Japan should be able to pick the reader up now, in their choice of four pretty tame colors, for 2,960 Yen (about 25 bucks).
