Ferrari 599 Project Megalith

Canadian tuner, SR Auto Group, is no stranger to redefining sports cars from a number of high end automakers. The difference with their latest project is that the vehicle in question is on its last leg, and oh what a beautiful leg it is. Called Project Megalith, this tuning kit is based on a Ferrari 599 GTB and its transformation is subtle and sweet.

Gone is the original dark shade found on the Italian sports car. In its place is a matte white frosted hue with two contrasting black stripes running cleanly through the center of the hood and upward towards a blacked out roof. The black accent is also present in a set of Novitec NF3 wheels with a matte black face and polished lip.

 No engine upgrades were provided for the Ferrari 599 GTB, so the sports car is still thundering out 611 HP at 7600 rpm and 448 lb-ft at 5600 rpm out of its 5,999cc V12 engine. The difference with the Megalith is that SR Auto Group has opted for an RSC exhaust system to hone in on the Ferrari’s menacing roar.

Hybrid Bugatti Galibier

Buggati's President  (CEO) has revealed to CAR magazine something very interesting about the future Galibier, whose development is frozen in the autumn. Due to social issues and because they could be facing restrictions on urban centers, there will be a hybrid option for this model.

This hybrid option won't be available in all markets because in places like the Middle East contamination is still somewhat disturbing. However, initiatives such as the London Congestion Charge threaten the free movement of this type of cars, supercars and supergastones.
Solution: hybridization.

Definitely there's no need for 800 odd horses to go by city, or even escape from the police. Therefore, one or more electric motors associated with the W16 will cut Bugatti Galibier´s power consumption, something more acceptable within the exaggeration. They hope to sell 3,000 units of this car.

What about the price increase? Given the type of customers they have, I doubt that's a problem. On the other hand having the world's most powerful hybrid is certainly a convincing sales argument for the wealthy.

Ferrari Enzo Inspired On Veyron's design

 What do a Ferrari Enzo and Bugatti Veyron share? Well so far not much, in fact they were rivals. But recent rumors suggest that the next generation of Enzo will possibly be inspired by the design of the Bugatti Veyron. Why?

So far we've heard that The new Enzo, which will be submitted in 2012, will have a new generation of aerodynamic technology, including the new "active aerodynamics" that revolutionized the flow of air through the model surfaces and below it.

Rumors suggest that Ferrari will use a V8 twin-turbo direct injection power under the hood. But it is also believed to use the same hybrid technology found in the laboratory vettura HY-KERS concept.

"The world is very different now than it was when the Enzo was launched," Ferrari officials said in an interview with AutoCar.

Ferrari 458 Italia

The Ferrari 458 is an Italian sports car designed by Pininfarina and produced by Italian automaker Ferrari since 2010 as a replacement for the Ferrari F430. It was revealed to the press on 28 July 2009 and presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009. 

Features

This is a two seats car with an 8 cylinder engine and a design largely benefited from the company's experience in Formula 1. Despite being billed as the replacement for the F430 and have some similarities in design, as claimed by Ferrari in the press release, is a completely new car from a technical standpoint.

Engine

The V8 4.5 liter (4499 cc) disburses 570 hp (419 kW) at 9000 rpm and yields a peak torque of 540 Nm at 6000 rpm, with 80% of it available at 3250 rpm. The engine has direct fuel injection for the first time in a Ferrari mid-engine configuration.

Transmission

The transmission is a Getrag dual-clutch semi-automatic 7-speed F1, similar to that of the Ferrari California, which can operate in either manual or automatic.

Management

The car suspension is double A-arm front and multilink system in back, along with electronic differential and traction control also known as Formula 1 F1-Trac [1], designed to improve cornering performance and longitudinal acceleration by 32% compared to its predecessors.

The brakes are a function of preload that reduces delays in its implementation. This, along with ABS has reduced the braking distance of 458 Italy 100 to 0 km / ha 32.5 meters.

Performance

The official acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h is 3.4 seconds while top speed is 325 km / h, with fuel consumption of 13.7 l/100 km combined cycle and 320g/km production CO 2.

Design

The 458 Italy was designed by Pininfarina, as the latest models of Ferrari. The style and characteristics of the car were designed for aerodynamic efficiency, producing a load of 140 kg to 200 km / h. The 458's interior has been designed using input from former Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher in Formula 1, including a new steering wheel that incorporates many of the features and controls facing the driver and not on the board, similar to race cars.

According to Autocar, the 458 was inspired by the Ferrari Enzo and its concept car Mille Chile concept car is designed to be the sportier model with a V8 Ferrari to be distinguished from the Ferrari California launched recently.

This beautiful car might be the dream of a very high percentage of our population, it´s exotic design can make a lot of faces turn back. We don´t exactly what the price would be that amazing car that you see on the pictures.  It´s supposed to be expected to start at 150, 000.

I hope you´ve enjoyed this review and I hope God gives you the opportunity not just to drive this car, but to have it and love it as we must do.  If you have any comments or question…any car that you would like us to review, please don´t hesitate in contacting us. Thank you for reading and have a wonderful rest of the year!

Saleen S7 Twin Turbo

Making it to 248 mph and from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds – This super fast car is powered by an 100% aluminum V8 engine packing with 750 horsepower. This twin-turbo charged monster went on sale for $585,296 USD in 2005 , replacing standard non turbo S7 production. Saleen offers an optional competition package with 33% increase in power.

True, Saleen hasn't campaigned his S7 Twin Turbo car in Formula 1, nor has he racked up umpteen wins at Le Mans, as have Ferrari, Mercedes, and Porsche. But despite the sterling racing heritages of their companies, the Enzo, the Carrera GT, and the SLR haven't raced at all. Meanwhile, a racing version of the S7, the S7R, has won seven various GT championships and will be entered again this June at Le Mans. Moreover, that S7R, and the roadgoing S7 Twin Turbo, are virtually identical, built side by side using the same technology — with the exception that the street car, with its pair of turbos, is much more powerful.

Pagani Zonda Tricolore

2011 Pagani Zonda Tricolore takes on center stage on the occasion of the 50th anniversary celebration of the "Frecce Tricolori", Italy's world renowned national aerobatic team. The Zonda Tricolore is the fitting tribute to the demonstration team of Italian Air Force by this hyper-exotic Modenese automaker. While the regular Pagani Zonda takes the general configuration of a jet fighter, the latest special Zonda edition bears a color scheme commonly associated with the aeronauts, and these include the distinctive carbon fiber elements and the pairs of white, green and red flarings that run through its hood.

This first car was built as a one-of for the Spanish importer Guarnieri. Like the Cinque editions that were built for a Hong Kong dealership, the Tricolore has numerous special features including the flappy-paddle gearbox from X-trac. The car uses tinted carbon fibre much like the Veyron Grand Sport ‘Sang Bleu’ released in 2009. This new Zonda also has upgrades from both the Cinque and Zonda R.

My Favorite One

The Best of the Best!

     

The Bugatti EB16.4 Veyron, known as the Veyron supercar is a car produced by Italia automaker Bugatti - French since 2005.  After many tests in magazines and TV programs, it has been considered by many specialists as the best car drivers in the world. And not only for its power and speed, but tis traction and luxurious  interior. Its performance and its high price (1,300,000 €) make this a very exclusive car. 

The Veyron shows a luxury interior, starting with a frameless window. The Veyron has only 4 moons: the front, sides and rear. The steering wheel is leather, flattened at the bottom. The entire center console and door side moldings are finished machined aluminum. In the console has an analog clock, screen CD player, air conditioning controls, and already in the area of the gear lever, the button (Start-Stop Engine) and the "Launch Control", which ensures maximum engine response during acceleration, the 4 turbochargers acting simultaneously. In the control panel, chaired by the tachometer and speedometer adjacent to it, a power meter, the indicator of the deposit and the thermometer. Highlighted, as detailed display, which at the end of the speedometer insert a one carat diamond weight. The entire dashboard is finished in hand stitched leather and the fabric roof. The seats are two-tone leather banquets, with the EB logo (the initials of Ettore Bugatti, founder of the company) to head height. Behind the seats is a small hollow slide. Fabric belts are traditional. The shifter is leather and aluminum and the transmission is sequential, 7 gears. On the sides of the door are the electric controls adjusting seat position, and below is taking away all boundaries lock electric lock motor to reach 407.8 km / h. At the top of the moon just takes a rearview mirror and interior light controls.

The engine is a W16 (16 cylinders in W) and 64 valves (4 valves per cylinder), with cylinder capacity 7993 ml (approx. 499 ml per cylinder) and 4 turbochargers, which yields a power of 1001 hp at 6000 rpm. The torque is 1250 Nm between 2200 and 5500 rpm. It measures 712 mm long and 767 wide. The angle is 90 degrees. To ensure optimum engine performance at all times, this is accompanied by a team of ten radiators. 

The vehicle's top speed is 407 km / h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds. These figures have been found in high-speed tracks the drivers Nicolas Moretti and Juan Francisco Larreyna, by testing the car in line. The 4-wheel drive and rear main engine will provide more stability and a balanced distribution of power.

During 2010, the most powerful version of the Veyron, the Super Sport, which has a Veyron engine similar to the current one that is capable of developing 1200 hp, and worked hard on your weight loss using a lot of carbon fiber , set a Guinness world record speed of 431.072 km / h. Thus, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has the speed record for production cars.

The previous model, 16.4 Veyron only has some aerodynamic modifications to correct some deficiencies in the handling at high speeds as well as an increase in the wheelbase by 5 cm. The back was also arranged with 2 air vents.

The vehicle won the record fastest car in the world in 2007, but was displaced by the SSC Ultimate Aero, with a top speed of 412.217 km / h (256.14 mph), but in June 2010, its more powerful version, the Super Sport broke the record again with a top speed of 431.072 km / h, official Guinness record. Similarly, also bore the mark of the world's most expensive car, according to a list published by Forbes magazine, but was then overtaken by models like the Ferrari FXX and the Maybach Exelero. The Veyron 16.4 will cost approximately 1.3 million euros before tax.

However, it is considered by many media as the best car in the world. One reason is that the brand is dedicated to building Alsatian this model and other models produced no other vehicle manufacturers. The firm planned a limited production of 300 units, before starting to develop another model.
