The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Another VERY quick car, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is powered by a 6.0 L (5999 cc, hence the 599 in the name) V12 engine that produces a maximum of 612 horsepower and 448 pounds of torque.
This gives the Ferrari an 11.3 second quarter mile time at 126.4 mph.
Ferrari say's the cars top speed is in excess of 205 mph.
And they list a 0-160 time of 19 seconds.
Mileage?
11 mpg in the city, 15 mpg on the highway.
I wonder if thats at 205 mph?
And on the Tech side, the 599 GTB is the first Ferrari to come with an iPod connection as standard.

SSC Ultimate Aero TT, Faster Than the Bugatti Veyron?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

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.
