MERCEDES CLK-GTR = 617 BHP
BUGATTI VEYRON = 1000BHP (IE 0-300kph (0-182 mph) in 8.6 secs!!!!!!)
I like the M3 and M5 BMW's but who in their right mind would spen £150 |
FYI 3 of those 5 cars have VOLKSWAGEN engines in them. Including the Veyron.... 1001 horsepower with 4 turbos!!


I don't really care for that first BMW, but i like the BMW biznology posted... the GTR spec racecars... now THOSE are bad-ass!

But here is my dream car:
Volkswagen W12


the race version used to set the 24 hour top-speed record of the world:

On October 14, 2001, the black carbon-fiber-body W12 Coupe was used to set the world speed record for distance covered in 24 hours. The car covered 4,402.8 miles at an average speed of 183.45 mph. In this quest, Volkswagen says two other world speed records and six international vehicle class records were broken.
The W12 displaces 6.0 liters and makes 600 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 458 lb-ft of torque. Power is then applied to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential-shifting manual gearbox.
Oh yeah and i forgot to mention the production version has a Carbon Fiber body, 600 hp, weighs 2600 lbs., and has 19" Lightweight wheels. Top speed is 217 mph. Price is expected to be around $150,000. Sales begin last quarter of 2002.
latest iteration:

McLaren what? 
I gotta get me one of THESE bad-boys!! Faster than the previous-fastest production car (McLaren), and costs less than 1/7th as much, and IMO looks better.
(also got a pic of my next to it, gotta dig it up somewhere...)
