Ferrari 360 Spider

Launched in 2000, the Ferrari 360 Spider is powered by a mid-mounted 3.6 liter V8 with 400 horsepower, shown off under a glass hood.
This engine allows the Spider to pull a 12.8 second quarter mile at 110.8 miles per hour.
And it gives the Spider a 0 to 60 time of about 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 185 mph.
The Ferrari's fuel economy is 10 mpg city, 16 mpg highway.

I actually found a place where you can rent one online.
How cool is that?

And if renting isn't your style, you can pick one up starting at around $221,720.00.

Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG

Comfort, style and speed.
The Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG is powered by a 6.0 litre V12 BiTurbo engine that puts out 612 horsepower and 737 foot pounds of torque.
That allows this beauty to go from 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds.
This also gives the CL65 an 11.8 second quarter mile time at 120.9 mph.
It's estimated top speed is 186 mph.
The downside of this car is that the CL65 AMG is made to order in very small numbers.
And for the mundane stuff, the MPG is 11 in the city, and 17 on the highway.
The base price is around $203,700.

Ferrari F430 F1

Another screamer from the Italian automaker Ferrari.
(What a surprise, Ferrari makes fast cars...LOL)
The Ferrari F430 F1 replaced the Ferrari 360 around 2004.
The engine is a Ferrari/Maserati designed 4.3 L V8 that puts out 483 hp and 343 pounds of torque.
This gives the F430 a top speed of 197 mph, and allows it to blast through the quarter mile at 122.8 mph in 11.7 seconds.
The F430 retails for anywhere from $186,925 to $257,456 in the US.
There have been a few special versions produced like the F430 Spider, the F430 Challenge, the F430 GT2, the F430 GT3, the 430 Scuderia and the Scuderia Spider 16M.
Fuel economy for the F430 is around 11 mpg city, and 16 mpg on the highway.

Hyundai cars make a mark.

HYUNDAI HYBRID IS SELECTED AS THE CAR OF THE YEAR.

It was high time the auto traders union pay more attention to cars like Hyundai Hybrid which is environmentally clean and is the future of any auto industry.There should be a consensus around Europe and America to only bailout such companies like Toyota and Hyundai who have not merely paid lip service to Environment conservation.The Hyundai Hybrid is the road to even more fuel efficient and clean cars.Even the second hand auto industry and auto spare part manufacturers are coming up with patent designs which will not only benefit environment but will save us lot of money.

SSC Ultimate Aero TT, Faster Than the Bugatti Veyron?

The SSC Ultimate Aero TT may be the only rival to the Bugatti Veyron.
In road tests, the SSC turned in a 254.88 mph top speed compared to the 253 mph of the Veyron.
But the Ultimate Aero accelerates from 0-60 mph in 2.78 seconds which is slower than the Veyron's 0-60 in 2.46 seconds.
The engine in the Ultimate Aero model is a supercharged 387.2 cu in (6.35 L) V8 engine rated at 1,183 bhp , with 1,094 ft·lb of torque.
Amazingly, the first production 2007 Ultimate Aero TT car was sold not in a show room, but on eBay for $431,100.
Yes eBay.
And I forgot to mention that the SSC Ultimate Aero TT is built by Shelby SuperCars.
And that NASA (yes NASA) put the car in a wind tunnel testing facility and proved that the SSC Aero could be aerodynamically stable enough to reach speeds up to 273 miles per hour.
And to be as Green as anyone else, this supercar will soon be available in an electrical version.
Of course this SSC will be the fastest electric car on the market, powered by a 500 horsepower electric motor. Yes I said a 500 horsepower ELECTRIC motor.
