If you thought that the 1001PS of the Bugatti Veyron is insignificant, you can try the earth-shattering 1200PS producing Bugatti Veyron Supersports. The supercar can do 0-100 kmph in 2.3 seconds, and it just gets more incredible there on. The Bugatti Veyron Supersports accelerates 0-300 kmph in 15 seconds, and will burn the entire 100-litre fuel tank in less than eight minutes in seventh gear. The top speed of the supercar is 431 kmph. The Veyron Grand Sport convertible is $2 million and has been launched in India at Rs 16 crore.
The Ferrari 599 GTO is only the third Grand Touring Omologato Ferrari ever, and is based on the 599XX experimental track car. Powered by an excellent V12 engine, it can produce a maximum power of up to 680 PS. This extra-ordinary power of the car makes it the fastest, most powerful Ferrari road-car. The Ferrari 599 GTO boasts of supercool updates such as super-polished internals, diamond-like carbon coating, along with the engine, gearbox, chassis, brakes, aero and electronics. It laps the Ferrari's Fiorano race track in 1 minute 24 seconds. But if you want one, you will just have to keep pining for it because all 599 examples have been sold out.
Difficult to believe, but really, this car has no boot, doors, roof, or windscreen. And yet, it is totally road legal. The Ariel Atom 500 V8 gets its power from a 3.0-litre V8 engine built by grafting together two Suzuki motorcycle engines on a single crankshaft. The car boasts of a maximum power output of 507 PS and weighs a little more than a matchbox. The power to weight ratio of the Ariel Atom 500 V8 is 50 percent more than a Bugatti Veyron. An extremely fast vehicle, it does the 0-100 kmph stunt in 2.3 seconds and 320 kmph top speed. Only 25 units of this automobile marvel will be built, and it will cost just at $250,000 a piece.
The Lotus Type 125 is built with a carbon-fibre monocoque, body work and push rod suspension. The engine is provided by Cosworth, the same company that supplies engines to the Lotus, Williams, HRT and Virgin F1 teams. In line with the F1 theme, it costs a million dollars and only 25 units will be manufactured.
In Italian, Sesto Elemento means sixth element, and the sixth element in this car is the carbon fibre, which has been used extensively: body wheels, interiors and the monocoque. It is the result of five-year collaboration between Lamborghini, Boeing and the University of Washington. The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento manifests the company's new direction which emphasises on lightness rather than power. The car weighs as much as a Maruti Swift.
With a 570 PS V10 engine, it makes for a 0-100 kmph time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed over 320 kmph.
The Bentley Continental GT flaunts luxurious, hand-crafted and leather-swathed interiors, and is an epitome of sheer power. The car is equipped with a standard 6.0-liter, twin-turbo W12 engine that pumps out 552 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque and sends its power to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.
