When you’re one of the world’s top Formula 1 drivers, what can you drive in your daily life that could even come close to that kind of rush? Well, Lewis Hamilton has himself a Pagani Zonda, specially ordered to his specifications and redubbed the 760 LH (replacing the 760 RS badges) in his honor. The car was recently spotted in Monaco, and we’re lucky enough that it was spotted by Melanie Meder, a professional photographer well versed in supercars.
Aston Martin Vanquish
The Aston Martin Vanquish is the legendary British marque's latest top-of-the-line sports car, supplanting the discontinued DBS. With more V12 power under the hood, more athleticism in the chassis, and a smattering of styling cues from the exotic One-77 supercar, the stunning Vanquish makes a strong play for that extra $300,000 you've got lying around.
Bugatti Quashes Super Veyron Rumors
Recent reports of a 1,500 horsepower, 280 mph, “super” Bugatti Veyron have finally been put to rest by the carmaker’s top dog. Bugatti President Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber has told Autoblog it will never happen. To date, Bugatti has delivered around 390 of its promised 450-unit run, which includes various Veyron special and limited editions. The remaining 60 or so models will come with the 1,200-hp variant of the W16 quad-turbo engine with no further engine enhancements made. Production of the current Veyron is expected to end in 2015.
2013 McLaren MP4-VX by Vorsteiner
Earlier this this Vorsteiner announced the McLaren-V Concept which seemed to preview the new MP4-VX tuning kit that was just announced. The kit was unveiled last night at the Vorsteiner headquarters in Garden Grove, California.
Of course that the new McLaren MP4-12C is a great car and we love the way it looks like, but it seems that the folks over Vorsteiner wanted to tweak its appearance just a little. And tweak it they certainly did! Too bad there’s no upgrades under the hood, but the standard 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine with its 616 horsepower 443 pound-feet of torque that launched the supercar to 60 mph in as little as 3 seconds seems good enough.
Vorsteiner’s new kit was built using the latest dry carbon fiber pre-preg autoclave technology and it transforms the MP4-12C into an even more aggressive-looking supercar. On top of that, the tuner even added a set of wheels top help round out the look.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS is Coming Next Year
Although the Porsche 911 GT3 just had its big debut, details are already beginning to emerge regarding the even more extreme GT3 RS. Due to arrive in US dealerships sometime later next year, the 911 GT3 RS will also ditch the traditional six-speed manual in favor of the PDK dual-clutch gearbox. More than likely, we can also expect to see it feature a carbon-fiber roof panel, as opposed to the base 911’s modular roof, along with plenty of other weight-reducing elements. -
It’ll also have the wide body treatment from the Carrera 4 and will be even wider than the GT3 thanks to using body panels from the 911 Turbo. An adjustable rear wing and stiffer, more race-focused suspension tuning are expected as well. Still unclear, however, is which engine Porsche will go with. The current rumor is a tweaked version of the GT3’s 3.8-liter flat-six, but a 4.0-liter unit is also not being ruled out. Output, despite which engine is chosen, will exceed 475 horsepower. -
