Lexus LF-A

One-eyed Willie — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:23:46 +0000

While most cars like the Lexus LF-A will never make it out of the concept stage, we are definitely glad that this one actually did. This thing will have a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph. Only 500 of them will be produced, and it will cost a pretty penny, but definitely be worth it. $375,000.

This isn’t an old roadster as what you think but the next Benz supercar powered by a 6.3-liter AMG V8 engine that amps up to 563-hp. Its gullwing doors make an impressive entrance to a rocket-inspired-vintage-looking coupe. The next time you park, the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will absolutely make an attraction. $TBA.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2: Ready In The Bull Pen

Peg Leg Larry — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:24:32 +0000

No other test driver will have the same legacy as Lamborghini’s Valentino Balboni. The man was hired by Ferruccio Lamborghini himself and has tested all of the modern-day prototypes and some production models. In gratitude, Lamborghini is celebrating Valentino’s retirement by releasing the Gallardo LP 550-2. It’s the kind of bull that Valentino wants to ride, with a powerful V10 engine spinning the rear wheels exclusively. Veering away from the new all-wheel drive Lambos, Valentino’s version will guarantee a more spirited drive since it will have a tendency to stick its rear out. The 550hp engine is less powerful by 10hp from the other Gallardo but has a lighter curb weight so achieving great speed is all but certain. Only 250 of this ultra-special version will be made. $220,000.

Ariel Atom 500: Raw Power

Peg Leg Larry — Sat, 30 May 2009 17:02:58 +0000

Introducing the latest in face-removal technology – the Ariel Atom 500. Powered by an RS Development supercharged V8 generating 500 horsepower, this latest iteration from Ariel promises a whole new way of coaching your facial tissues into giving out your widest and silliest smile. Weighing at a feather-light 500 kilograms, the car translates to a 1000+ horsepower per ton ratio. What does that mean? Well, the previous Atoms have a sub-3 second 0-60 time so you can safely assume that the 500 will go even quicker. The 500 hp engine is coupled to a Sadev six-speed gearbox and the car will be stopped by Alcon brakes. No word on pricing yet but it will definitely be cheaper than the Porsches, Ferraris, and Lambos. Only this car will be double the fun. Wait for the Atom 500 but don’t say we didn’t warn you. $TBA.

GTA Spano: Iberian Wolf

Peg Leg Larry — Fri, 01 May 2009 18:20:15 +0000

Spain has become one of the last bastions of the European wolf. And now, there’s a new breed of howling beast that comes out of the country. Fifteen years of experience and five years of development gave birth to the GTA Spano, Spain’s answer to the other European supercars. At the heart of this road-going wolf is a GTA V10, able to produce 780 horsepower on regular gasoline, capable of running to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds from a standing start, onward to a top speed of 219 mph. Feed it with bioethanol and it becomes an alpha male with 840 horses. Shifting gears is a three-way choice between a 7-speed manual sequential, an automatic sequential paddle shift, or a traditional gated manual. Stopping the Spano are 6-piston AP Racing carbon ceramic brakes. So seek the wolf in thyself, and good luck in hunting one from the pack of 99 GTA Spanos. $670,000.

Mastretta MXT

Calico Jack — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:05:33 +0000

Mastretta MXT

Despite what these visuals would tell you, this car isn’t Italian, nor is it German, not British either, it’s not even French, Japanese, or American. The Mastretta MXT is Mexico’s first native-designed production car. Not a bad start for the land of Mariachi music, spicy food, and of course tequila; all of which can do various things to your stomach. Well, so can this awesome car if you turn fast enough! It comes turbocharged with a 2.0L engine that produces 240hp with a 0-60 of only five seconds. Those days of Mexico producing only ‘old’ Volkwagen Beetles are over. Viva Mexico! £33,000.

Great things come from Italy; pizza, women, fashion, and exotic cars. The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is one of the best examples of what Italian engineering has to offer. It comes equipped with a 5.2-Liter V10 engine that provides 552hp. More importantly, this supercar will get you more ass than you’ll know what to do with, and that’s a lot.
