Dodge viper 2013

As you've likely heard, the 2013 Viper now comes with federally mandated traction control, which is a change Leno likens to the fact that the second-gen machine bowed with air conditioning whereas the first car didn't. The comedian maintains the step is a natural progression, especially given that the tech can be switched off on command.SRT dropped off the same pilot car that debuted at this year's New York Auto Show, and SRT design head Mark Trostle throws in his insights on the snake's latest iteration as well.

BMW i8 Concept

After successful initial testing of the vehicle concept, the decision for a series-production vehicle was quickly made. The BMW i8 Concept is the next step in the evolution of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept. The result: The most progressive and innovative sports car of its time. Its innovative plug-in hybrid concept combines the modified electric drive system from the BMW i3 Concept – fitted over its front axle – with a high-performance three-cylinder combustion engine producing 164 kW/220 hp and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) at the rear. Working in tandem, they allow the two drive systems to display their respective talents to the full, delivering the performance of a sports car but the fuel consumption of a small car.

Bugatti

When you're ripping along at 253 mph, your mind is not drifting aimlessly. Your senses are cranked up to full volume to detect any hint of impending catastrophe in the maelstrom of wind rush, tire thrum, mechanical thrash, and exhaust roar that surrounds you.Is that slight shift in the whistling wind caused by a body panel coming loose? Does that vague vibration signal a tire starting to delaminate? Does that subtle new mechanical whine presage a failing bearing that's about to lock up the powertrain? No such problem developed on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, because it is not a half-baked aftermarket or boutique road burner. It is a production car developed and tested to the standards of Volkswagen, Bugatti's parent company. With a top speed of 253 mph, it is also the fastest production car ever built

Ferrari F50

there are two things you should know about the Fer­rari F50. First, no one we know in all of the world has measured its performance. Second, it doesn't matter if you're richer than Ted and Jane; you can't buy one.This is true. And to make sense of it, we slogged slowly through a ver­itable Ripley's fun house of politics, behind-the-scenes arm-wrestling, and lifestyles of the rich and famous. So why can't you buy an F50 out­right? Well, it isn't because all 55 of the U.S. allotment has been spoken ton. It's because the whole passel of F50s was offered only via a two-year lease whose various articles and cod­icils were fashioned by Ferrari North America (FNA). Even if you possess the requisite $240,000 down pay­ment for the lease (not to mention sales tax and luxury tax), and even if you also are sufficiently affluent to swing the 24 payments of $5600 per month, you'll still have to summon a $150,000 final payment—again, two years down the cash-littered road—before you can truthfully refer to yourself as an F50 owner.

Maclaren F1

The BMW engine is a 6.1 liter V12, not a 6 liter.The Koenigsegg CCR eclipsed the F1s top speed record first at 243 mph. Its hold on the title was short lived when it was quickly trounced by the Veyron going 10 mph faster.There were not 107 F1s produced. The 107th car some people count was actually a spare chassis used later to repair another damaged F1. The reason his broken down numbers add up to 107 is because he has counted the F1 GT prototype two times.Also the cars were produced from 1992 onwards, not 1994. If, however, he intended to only count production cars and not prototypes, the first one was completed December 23rd, 1993.

Zonda F

The Zonda F Clubsport represents the last hurrah for the Zonda line-up as Pagani is set to replace the model with a new supercar dubbed the 'C9' coming next year. As the final iteration of the first Pagani model, the Clubsport holds a special place in automotive history and was intended to be something special, something that would cement the Zonda name forever in the history books.Seeing a Zonda F Clubsport in the flesh is a strange experience. The cabin sits so far forward that it looks more like a jet-fighter than a car, and its low-slung stature and wide stance combine to give it a very aggressive appearance and great presence.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador

The 2012 Lamborghini Aventador is intimidating. It's not the wild paint or the razor-sharp styling. It's not the 690-horsepower V12 lurking behind your shoulder or the Lamborghini lore of punishing overzealous drivers. It's not even the sky-high price. No, it's the indisputably alien nature of the Aventador. One must maneuver around the scissor door into the low-slung cockpit. The windshield is raked to an absurd degree. The side windows are dominated by angular, wide mirrors mounted to tall stalks and the view rearward is like spying on someone through an air vent. The car is enormously wide, which makes the visibility all the more intimidating. The starter button is hidden under a little red panel as if it launches a bomb; the paddle shifters look like a ninja's weapon. The Aventador isn't so much a car as it is an alien spacecraft.
