03 Jul 11 MP4-12C GT3 by McLaren will be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival
McLaren is set to debut their reworked McLaren MP4 12C GT3 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed over the weekend. The vehicle is their first racing car of McLaren outside of the Formula 1 circuit ever since the F1 GTR.
The GT3 traces its origin to the new MP4 12C supercar by McLaren only it is revised to even make it perform better.
The McLaren engineers and designers changed the radiator and gearbox cooler setup of the MP4 12 C to give the GT3 more margin of temperature to achieve its peak performance. They also upgraded its aerodynamic components and gave the new race car louvers and diffusers on the front bumper, rear wing, door blade, and front splitter. All of the aerodynamic components were fabricated from carbon fiber.
Just like its sibling road car, the MP4 12C GT3 also has a chassis made from carbon fiber. McLaren also equipped the car with the same steering wheel as the MP4-24 F1 car. The team will be tweaking the GT3 during the 2011 season while twenty cars are set to be delivered for privateer teams by next year.
The supercar will still depend on its M838T McLaren 3.8L V8 twin turbo engine but it will be detuned to output 500 PS. They are also using a lighter gear box to improve the weight of the car by eighty kilos and give it a more optimal power balanced with its all over performance.

01 Mar 11 Lamborghini Gallardo’s Invidia Edition by Amari Design
In the fast-paced world of hefty-priced super cars, Amari Supercars has enjoyed the perks of being one of United Kingdom’s biggest dealers when it comes to second-hand super toys. But Amari Supercar’s vision doesn’t stop there. Recently, the company has ventured into the fine art of car tuning with Amari Design. For the new arm’s debut conversion, they have chosen the Lamborghini Gallardo and called the revamp project “Invidia Edition.”
The newly restyled Lamborghini Gallardo has a new design for the front grille, a complete set of fenders, smashing side skirts, new exhaust system made of stainless steel and a whole lot more that would make any Lamborghini enthusiast marvel. The interiors were also given an ego boost with its set of Alcantara racing seats made in carbon fiber that are just what every super car fan is after.
Of course, the new super car won’t get left behind in terms of power under the hood. Amari Design increased the initial 513BHP of the 5.10L V-10 engine to 740BHP. Nothing has been reported yet about Invidia Edition’s performance ratings but Amari Design has stated that their in-house engine tuning arm, the Amari Service garage, is overseeing the performance test for project Invidia Edition. Amari Service is headed by John Greatorex , who is one of the top five mechanics for supercars in UK.
The Lamborghini Gallardo’s Invidia Edition is expected to roll into UK’s showrooms sometime in April 2011. At present, a great deal of development work has already been finished for the initial prototype.

04 Nov 10 Purple Zonda 750 supercar from Pagani
Before it ends its run, Pagani released a one of a kind supercar Pagani 750 in all its purple glory. The supercar maker will soon terminate the Zonda to give way to their new release the C9.
The purple Pagani was based on the Zonda Cinque and tagged it with 750 to come with its name. Pagani injected some exclusive features to this special production making it the crème de la crème of their garage. The details of its performance have not yet been revealed but everyone is speculating that its name denotes the power of its powerplant.
If we are guessing it right then this purple Zonda 750 will be the most powerful ever of the road-going supercar brood. The top power rating of the Pagani garage so far is the track only version of the Zonda which makes use of the 6.0L engine supplied by the AMG division of Mercedes-Benz which blasts out 750 horsepower and a torque of 710 Nm.
The owner of the purple Zonda has not been named but has personally expressed his inkling for the loud, special color of the supercar. There were also two prior incarnations of the Zonda before, the Uno and the HH. The HH now belongs to the collection of David Heinemeier Hansson, the software mogul. This Zonda creation made use of a 687 horsepower V12 AMG engine.

28 Nov 09 Come See The Brand New G-Power Typhoon X6 M!
This is one car that does not look like a BMW. To me — BMW is a very status type of car and in general, they look old. This is anything but old and you are probably wondering exactly what this car is. Well, it is the G-Power Typhoon X6 M. This beautiful car is not only awesome looking but it is actually one car that can go super fast — thanks to the design of it.
The G-Power Typhoon X6 M was designed with 15% increased airflow to the intercoolers, so that means that this little car’s torque is absolutely incredible. It can get up to about 62 miles per hour in about four and a half seconds. That is saying something right there!
If you want a fast car that also has the BMW stamp of approval on it, the G-Power Typhoon X6 M is definitely the car for you peeps!
