Koenigsegg CCXR Edition
Price: $2,200,000 (est) | 0-62 mph: 2.9 secondsTop Speed: 254 mph | Mileage: N/A
The CCXR Edition from Swedish boutique automaker Koenigsegg gives the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 a run for its crown as the fastest, priciest production car in the world. Not only does its 4.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine produce a ridiculous 1,018 horsepower
President Obama’s New Ride Is Neato
I’m not sure where the above picture came from, but it’s most likely from somewhere deep in the mysterious jungles of the UK, judging by the extra vowels, use of Euro’s instead of dollars, and retarded spelling of the words “litres” and “tyres”, among other things. Still, I like it, Obama looks happy. This is the new super limo designed by Cadillac for the president. Starting January 20th, Obama will be hitting the streets in this 80 gagillion pound Super DTS lookalike. And even though it does bear a striking resemblance to the Caddy DTS, this thing was actually purpose built from the ground up, supposedly based on a heavy-duty 2500 truck chassis. Check out some more fun facts:
Nissan Skyline GT-R!!!
The Nissan Skyline became one of the most successful cars for street and motor racing (particularly in Japan). Its dominance was so great that people started calling it Godzilla.Design: Based on the standard Skyline coupe frame, the GT-R version packed several racing accessories, and it became famous world wide after its appearances on video games (ever played Gran Turismo?).
Performance: The R33 version used the same 2.6-litre engine of the R32, but it introduced several improvements, like a better oil pump and an advanced intake camshaft. The result? A potency of 450 horse power, a top speed of 200 mph (323 km/h) and an acceleration from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) of 4.0 seconds
Bugatti Veyron
Not a classic like the others on the list, but the Bugatti is the fastest accelerating street legal car in the world, so we felt like it should be included.Design: The car is, hhmm… rounded. The company decided to go with a new designer for this formerly concept car. Jozef Kaban from Wolkswagen is the man behind it (personally I think that he could have done a better job).
Performance: Packing a 16 cylinders engine with a displacement of 8 liters, the car is capable of producing 987 hp. The car holds the world acceleration record, going from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.46 seconds. Running at its top speed of 253.2 mph (407.5 km/h) a full tank runs dry in about 10 minutes.
Chick Factor: Medium. Someone buying a Bugatti is obsessed with speed. Girls will think that he should be done within 2 minutes or so, if you know what I mean.
