The Coolest Car Ever

Posted by: Adina in Cars


The Continental Supersports is the ultimate Bentley: the fastest and most powerful Bentley ever produced. It is a supercar with two seats, that provides the owner high performance and a extremely focused driving experience. The Supersports is able of running on petrol (gasoline) and biofuel (this being a first in Bentley’s history), revolutionizing the use of FlexFuel technology in the luxury sector. This is a step that the company considers necessary taking in order to make its whole model range compatible with renewable fuels by 2012.

The Continental Supersports is purchasable worldwide since autumn 2009, and it will be FlexFuel compatible in the greater part of markets from launch with North American cars. The Continental Supersports started as a somehow secret project, Bentley testing the possibilities of weight reduction on the Continental GT but with more power and torque. This project lasted about 24 months, when it finally came to an end, presenting a new car program, designed by a small group of passionate Bentley engineers.

The Supersports sets new performance standards for Bentley: 630PS (621 bhp) and new 'Quickshift' transmission that halves shift times, acceleration from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds) onto a top speed of 204 mph (329 km/h). The performance of this supercar is completed by some improvements of the chassis, including retuned steering and suspension, utilizing lighter weight components, retuned dampers and anti-roll bars. The Supersports’ quickness is further sharpened by the 40:60 rear-biased torque split for the all-wheel drive system, a wider rear track, bespoke lightweight 20-inch alloy wheels and a unique electronic stability program.

The Coolest Car Ever

Posted by: Adina in Cars


Ferrari's Gran Turismo is inspired by Formula One technology, and it already benefits from over fifty years of Ferrari success. Enzo is named in honor of the companies' founder, and it is one of a limited series of road cars including the 288GTO, F40 and F50. These cars are the proof that Ferrari follows its faith of producing the most exclusive and technologically advanced road car. Enzo’s goal was to bridge the gap that has ever been between everyday road cars and race cars. In order to achieve this goal, many improvements have been made in the production technology of the brand.

Enzo was built in Maranello, and tested around Fiorano by both Michael Schumacher and Dario Benuzzi. Inside the company, the project was known as the FX, and it has cost Ferrari 20 million euros to develop. The initial production number was set to 350 Enzos, but 400 were built in red, yellow or black, or a custom color if the customer's relationship with the firm was strong enough. The extra fifty cars brought in $28.8 million USD (24.4 million euros) for Ferrari, with each car being sold at a $554 00 USD (487,700 EU) profit, Ferrari proving this way that they can not only sell half million dollar cars, but they can yield a considerable profit margin from them too.

Shelby SuperCars' Ultimate Aero has received a number of refinements for the 2009 model year, after holding the "World’s Fastest Production Car" title for the year of 2008. The SSC engineering team equipped the 2009 Ultimate Aero with a 15% boost in horsepower, a revamped front fascia design, and a range of significant interior upgrades. A SSC-designed, 1-piece billet aluminum engine block is the most significant change for this model. SSC is able to boost the power output to 1287 horsepower while improving durability, thanks to the new block improves structural integrity and oiling capabilities.

Thanks to the more powerful new engine, the '09 Ultimate Aero will be able to reach world-record speeds of 270 MPH. SSC asked the American company Aeromotive to create a faultless system, in order to accommodate the '09 Ultimate Aero's unique fuel system requirements. Carbon fiber louvers on the side intakes draw in an additional 20% of air into the radiators for improved cooling. The '09 Ultimate Aero also features the AeroBrakeTM, a rear spoiler system that deploys under braking circumstances. The rear spoilers are finished in carbon fiber, and actuate up an additional 8" when the brake pedal is depressed. The speed of the spoiler actuation is set by the amount of brake pedal pressure. If you want to disable the entire AeroBrakeTM, you only have to push of a button, in cases such as town driving or situations where braking and downforce assistance are not necessary.

The Coolest Car Ever

Posted by: Adina in Cars


The Pagani Zonda F is among the fastest supercars ever built. Zonda F was released in 2005, at Geneva Auto Show. Due to Pagani's long-time experience in carbon fiber construction, the Zonda F is considered the leader concerning fit and finish. Pagani Automobili is an independent supercar manufacturer, one of few, which has the intention, and which made it possible with the production of this super sports car, to challenge more reputable competition such as Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Juan Manuel Fangio discussed with Horacio Pagani, and influenced him, on every aspect of the Zonda, until the outset of the Zonda project was finished. Thus, it is obvious that Pagani's latest work pays tribute to the late Fangio, a world champion five times over. Zonda F is lighter, more powerful and faster than the Pagani cars built before. It borrows the modifications made to the C12-S Monza and refines them into a more attractive package.

Aerodynamics has an important role in the shape of Zonda's new car. The new Zonda F features a one-piece fixed wing which now receives undisturbed air thanks to relocated mirrors. A larger front splitter and rear diffuser with twin stabilizing wings create even more downforce, helping airflow underneath. There is a much larger air intake at Zonda F’s front, which increases cooling effectiveness of the more potent V12 engine. A new induction system is used for giving Zonda F more power. This system replaces the standard Mercedes-Benz unit. It features larger intake apertures and, when combined with a larger, hydroformed exhaust, the 7.3 liter Mercedes-Benz engine reaches 620 bhp.

The chassis has also received some upgrades which lighten both the overall and unsprung weight of the Zonda. In combination with the titanium wheel nuts, and diverse trimmings of the carbon fiber tub, the Zonda F weighs 1230 kgs without liquids.
