Novelty


A quality of being new or in other words NOVELTY. That was Mr. Radzi taught us for last week. No doubt about it, I agree with his explanation.
Although some may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g a new style of art
coming into being , such as abstract art or impressionism ) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals. - source

If I were about to define the words novelty, I'll put this way - a adaptation or amendment of an invention that already been recognized by the
society into a better version of it. For instance, those old school MINI compared to nowadays MINI Cooper.

This car was produced on 1959 but you still can see it works on the road today. During back then this car was manufactured by British Motor Cooperation ( BMC). It was 4 speed manual or 4 speed automatic transmission. As time passed by, the world getting advanced and develop BMW has took over and somehow upgrade those car and turn it into MINI Cooper.

This is MINI Cooper S, it can go about 0-100 km/h in 7.1 seconds. Top speed up to 225km/h. Obviously it's way faster than Mini which the max torque can go up to 240 Nm at 1600-5000 rpm (260 at 1700-4500 rpm with Overboost) It's been upgraded to the max but it's still look like older version of MINI. The originality is still there. This is what I mean by novelty.
