2011 Hennessey Venom GT

Hennessey Performance Engineering is tops in modifying engines. They can take an ultra sleek super automobile, and push it towards perfection. With Hennessey you can experience the best of the best.
At first glance, the Venom GT looks like the Lotus Exige. The Venom is an explosive fusion of British flair and American power. The 2011 Hennessey Venom GT received a make-over.

Performance
The exterior design looks like it comes out of Bruce Wayne’s or Tony Starks garage, but the car’s road power makes it a superhero in itself. The Hennessey Venom GT has for an engine a 6.2-liter LS9 twin-turbo V-8, similar to the engine on the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 one of the fastest production cars released. Airflow management was initially done on CAD. They used it to simulate airflow to improve the engine and body design.
The hood of the car cannot be accessed, although it contains two radiators with fans that help maintain the engine cool. Hennessey stresses the idea that the cooler the engine, the more horsepower you get. The car is offered in a mid-engine rear drive power-train with horsepower ranging from 725 to 1200. The drive train is provided by a Ricardo 6 speed transmission. The shifter is patterned after the Lotus, but upcoming models will see a switch to the Ford GT styled shifter.
Rumors abound that the Hennessey Venom GT has either tied or broken the record of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sports record of 267 mph. We have yet to hear from reliable sources to make the record official.
Exterior & Interior
The size of the Venom GT is smidge bigger than the Lotus Exige. The Hennessey Venom GT retains the Exige’s lightweight stylings. The carbon fiber material used on the Venom GT contributes to its lightweight physique. The math is easy: less weight is equivalent to better performance. Founder John Hennessey said that what he wanted to make was a car that all about performance, he didn’t want to worry about interior styling’s. Most of the cars weight is the engine. The Hennessey Venom GT was built from scratch putting in the best components from brains to brawn of American engineering.
The adjustable rear wing provides added aerodynamic performance when needed. The body is built to withstand force produced by vehicles that produce 1500 horsepower or more. The wheels are equipped with brake calipers made by Brembo which provide excellent traction control. Test drivers have commented that the chassis is rigid but firm, making the ride smooth and easy on the body. The smooth response of the Venom after making turns make the transition easy on both the vehicle and driver, it just helps prove it to be just as advertised, a supercar.
Currently, the new Venom GT has yet to be given permission to be driven on US streets and highways. Most of the testing and showing of this car have been across the pond in the UK.
The simplicity of the interior is just that, it contains the necessary instrumentation accessories to ride the Venom GT with confidence. The Venom has a built-in roll cage providing protection to both driver and passenger. Alcantara leather lines the inside of this supercar, from the panels, seating, and the steering wheel. Giving it a more than a muscle car look. It does have AC, AM/FM radio, and yes even a docking station for those with iPods. An added feature is the removable steering wheel to aid taller folks easier access getting in and out of the car.
The Competition
The Hennessey Venom GT has few peers, some try to come close but few do. During a “shoot-out” in 2007 to find out who reached the 200 mph barrier the fastest, the predecessor of this current Venom, the Hennessey Venom 1000 twin turbo found itself stacked up against the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, Lamborghini Murcielago, Corvette Lingenfelter, the Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, and the Ruft RT12. Only four vehicles made the final attempt, and the Hennessey Venom 1000 had the best record at 20.3 seconds in reaching the 200 mph mark, followed by the Veyron at 24.2 seconds, then the Lingenfelter Corvette at 26.5 seconds, and finally the Ruft Rt12 at 35.5.
The 2011 Hennessey Venom GT with 725 horsepower is priced considerably less than the 1,200HP version. Total production of the car is limited to 29, with only 10 units made per year. For 2012, only 5 vehicles will be made, they require a lead time of six months to build one unit.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Super cars and sports cars have already been all too familiar to us that upon hearing one, a spark of interest is seldom raised. Yes, many different companies such as Ferrari and Porsche are still on the top of the super cars and sports cars manufacturing chain but as insatiable human beings we are in a constant search for something better. This year, super cars and sports cars are a thing of the past as hyper cars enter the scene. You heard that right, hyper cars are the new show stopper. Lamborghini has recently launched yet another hyper car. The 2012 lamborghini Aventador LP-700-4.
Performance
In terms of its performance, the company has already stated that the V12 engine will be the only thing to provide power into this hyper car but a newer, more legendary engine than the previous V12 engine. It now comes with AWD layout and 6.5 liter V12 engine which then produces 700 horsepower. This is the newest engine Lamborghini has made since they released the Countach.
It has a whopping 700 horsepower engine which can go from 0-62 mph in a matter of 2.9 seconds - faster than its predecessors and competitors which take about 3.6 seconds to reach that speed. The new Lamborghini Aventador LP-700 4 is the new attention grabbing, sleek model from Lamborghini that is sure to take the car industry by storm. This new model is named after the bull that entered a battle in 1993 in Saragossa Arena and earned the title of Trofeo de la Pena La Madronera due to its incomparable courage. Indeed, this new model will take the road with courage to go up and compete with the many super cars and sports cars already making a name in the industry.
Exterior & interior
The exterior of this model is designed with intricate aerodynamics calculations to make it move faster but retain handling and maneuverability. It has a 4-degree angle approach which is maximized on high speed and supports stability in moving in different directions upon reaching the top end of a spectrum. While the 11-degree tilts helps maximize stability and handling and at the same time carries on midrange speeds, significantly greater down force.
At the front part of this car, it gets better air guide further accentuated by frames that are glossy and black, and headlights that are bi-xenon made. These headlights spread starting from the middle and another set of LED lights operates the turn signals. Customers were happy to hear that they have options on the car’s exterior colors. There are 13 colors to choose from and different color effects such as pastel metallic, matte, and pearlescent.
Interior-wise, a hyper car cannot get more hi-tech than this. The new instrumentation gauges used in this model resembles those used on jet planes with LCD screens displaying instrumentations in your car while another independent system and LCD screen controls the navigation functions of this model and the stereo. The sleek leather material of the seats is made with a single color with contrasting stitching available in many different colors.
This car is the extreme when it comes to design, technology, performance and standards. Lamborghini is setting new highs in terms of standards and design in the industry of hyper cars.

2011 Singer Porsche 911 White

The latest trend in sports car production is for shops to take classic car designs and turn them into modern versions by using the latest technology in engine and car body manufacturing. The 2011 Singer Porsche 911 White uses the pre-1994 Porsche 911 Coupes and transforms them into new creations loaded with modern features and amenities. The transformed cars are not registered as new cars but retain their licenses and Vehicle Identification Numbers.
The old cars are completely dismantled and blasted to bear metal treating all parts with rust prevention solutions. All body parts are inspected for structural defects and are reinforced by welding in preparation for the transformation works. Wipers are replaced with the centrally located units similar to those of the Porsche 993 series. The fenders and bumpers, hood and engine deck are replaced with new carbon fiber body parts to make the unit light and strongly fitted.
The car color is set as immaculately white accented only by the spoiler, lower rockers and rear valances which are made of flexible and heat resistant Urethane. The air cooled 3.6L engines are meticulously stripped, blue printed and reconstructed to provide more power and efficiency. The entire car interior is completely refurbished and the suspension, tire and break systems are all altered to conform to modern standards.

2011 Brabus Mercedes-Benz 800 E V12 Cabriolet

The 2011 BRABUS Mercedes-Benz 800 E V12 Cabriolet is a big and powerful Sports Car known for its stability at high speeds and powered by the twelve-cylinder engine mounted in the body of the open top Mercedes E-Class BRABUS. The BRABUS Mercedes 800 E V12 Cabriolet is considered as the fastest and most powerful four-seater cabriolet with a top speed of three hundred seventy (370) miles per hour. In building this car, advanced engineering techniques were employed to fit into the car’s engine compartment the 12-cylinder, 3-valve engine and its automatic five speed transmission.
Engine modifications were also made making the crankshaft longer and the pistons larger to match the increase in cylinder bore displacement from 5.5 to 6.3 liters. Much of the changes were done in the engine to maximize performance and at the same time keep the car operating at temperatures ideal for high speed driving. Even the tail pipes were redesigned to accommodate increase in the turbochargers’ capacity.
Only modern technology can create a great sports car like the BRABUS Mercedes Benz 800E Cabriolet. Carbon fiber parts were used to extend the fenders and accommodate the wider tires. The dashboard, center console and side trims were all replaced with carbon fiber to accommodate the modern amenities, gadgets and gauges like the 400 km speedometer, evidence of the larger speed capacity that the car can attain.
