Lamborghini Aventador

 

The Lamborghini Aventador is Lamborghini's flagship car. It's full name is the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. The Aventador can go 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.9 seconds. To put this into comparison a 2013 Mustang take 4.6 seconds to do the same thing. It has a huge V12 engine that makes 700 hp stock; however, there are companies like Underground Racing that push these cars even more than that. Underground Racing has a package that gets 1200 hp out of this beast, and they haven't even released their "race version" yet. Considering that the Aventador was modeled after a stealth fighter jet this much power just seems fitting, but just like fighter jets this car is pretty pricey. The Aventador costs an astonishing $375,000+, so for many people this will just stay a "poster car". It does however do a very good job at looking good.

Nissan GT-R

The Nissan GT-R is the super car of the "Playstation age." While some super cars, like the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, don't even have radios the GT-R has a full computer in the dash. It is also powered by a V6 instead of the V10 or V12 you see in most super cars but, this does not hold the GT-R back. The GT-R can go 0-60 under 3 seconds and the 2013 is a 10 second car, Stock. With all of these specs I am sure you are expecting to hear that this is priced with the Lamborghini Aventador or Ferrari Enzo, but you can get the GT-R for under $100,000. This is one of the first daily driver super cars and with all of the modifications that owners have each one is unique.

Hennessey Venom GT

When people talk about the world most powerful car you may think Bugatti, but the worlds most powerful convertible is the Hennessey Venom GT. In fact the Bugatti Veyron takes 24.2 seconds to read 200 mph while the Venom GT takes only 15.3. The Venom GT is based off of a Lotus Elise/Exige. Here is a quote taken directly from the Venom GT's website (http://www.venomgt.com)

The Hennessey Venom GT design is based on the Lotus Elise / Exige. The Venom GT is created from a base Lotus Elise / Exige and utilizes components including but not limited to the roof, doors, side glass, windscreen, dash, cockpit, floorpan, HVAC system, wiper and head lamps. Hennessey Performance and the Venom GT are not associated with Lotus Cars.

The price of a Venom GT is $600,000 for the 750 horsepower version, but if you want the fast 1,200 horsepower version it will cost you 1 million dollars. For this price though you can guarantee that you will have one unique car. There is a production limit of 10 per year and only 6 have been made so fat (1 of which being a convertible). Of these cars some of the owners include Jay Lenno and Steven Tyler (has the convertible). This is a ridiculously fast car, but still nice enough to take to the beach with the top down.

Ferrari FXX

The Ferrari FXX is every kids dream car, being based of Ferrari's latest street legal super car, the Ferrari Enzo. The current FXX costs a little more at an astonishing is 1.8 million dollars. The only setback to this car is that the owners cannot drive their multimillion dollar car as they please. The FXX is not street legal and Ferrari only lets customers drive their car on approved track days. The wait might be worth it for people like Michael Schumacher (Formula 1 driver) who choose to purchase this car, because each FXX originally had 790 horsepower and weighed just over 2500 lb. There are only 29 of these cars in the world and being able to drive one would be truly special. The FXX was produced between 2005 and 2007; however, these cars were continuously developed through 2008/2009 with the Evoluzione kit. This kit increased performance to 850 horsepower, aerodynamical advancements, gearbox improvements and a better traction control system. The FXX truly is the fastest car that Ferrari has designed yet, but only time will tell what they have to replace this beast.

Dodge Viper

The Dodge Viper (recently renamed the SRT Viper), is the end result of Lamborghini coming together with Dodge. The fifth generation Viper (2012) has a V10 engine with 640 hp and is connected to a 6 speed manual transmission. Every Viper to date has followed this same format, a V10 engine with an excessive amount of horsepower and a 6 speed manual transmission to transfer all that power to the wheels. Over the years Dodge has continued to improve on their previous model and each new generation has had even more horsepower than the last. The base price for this car is $95,000. While this is not that much for a supercar that can go 0-60 in 3.3 seconds (with a manual transmission), bankrate.com named the Viper the most expensive car for repair costs in 2008.  So look at the pictures and decide, do you think its worth it?

Aston Martin DB9

The DB9 is a very significant car for Aston Martin. The DB9 first model Aston Martin to be produced in their Gaydon plant located in Warwickshire, England. The "DB" in DB9 stand for the initials of David Brown, who owned Aston Martin from 1947 until it had financial problems in the 1970s. The DB9 follows a long line of "DB" cars and it sure lives up to its name. It has 469 hp and can go from 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds. It also can achieve a top speed of nearly 190 mph. That is a lot of car for $170,000 ($190,000 if you want the convertible version know as the DB9 volatile). The DB9 has also entered many professional races and even when racing professionally they still use the same exact engine, but it has many performance upgrades and weight reductions. Do to these modifications the "race version" of the DB9 is now called the DBR9 (two bottom pictures).

Gumball 3000

The Gumball 3000 is a 3000 mile road rally that takes place every year. Since 1999 up to 120 exotic (and some more unusual) cars have lined the streets. Basically a bunch of rich people take all of their really expensive cars, including Bugatti Veyrons, Rolls Royce Phantoms and any other really expensive car you can think of, and then drive across the country together and just have a good time. This years Gumball left NYC the other day and is now in full swing.  I do not want to talk about it too much and instead I will let the pictures speak for themselves (there are a bunch).

P.S. - If you guys want me to upload daily pictures from the gumball I can do that plus the regular posts, but I am not going to do it unless I get a few comments asking me to.
