Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Versione Nardo 2008

Car Specifications & Information

INFO:
veni vidi vicit came, it saw, it conquered.
nardo, the epitome of high speed on the fastest oval track in the world.

october 21st, 2007. a 4am wake-up espresso has to suffice. the remaining drowsiness disappears as soon as the 6.5 ltr. v12, now with 663 hp, is fired up. re-torque the wheels once again. after checking the pressure of the new continental v-max tires the edo competition lp 640 versione nardo rolls onto the 12.6 km (7.8 miles) long oval.

each contestant has 3 laps: the first one as the warm-up lap, the second one as the high-speed lap and the third one as the cool down lap. by now it’s 6am, the sun is rising over the test track. it’s chilly with light winds, but above all -it’s dry. on this sunday morning the warm-up lap is driven at speeds between 280 and 300 km/h (174-186 mph). particular attention is paid to vibrations, oil-and water-temperatures. it feels good, the lp 640, and thanks to the newly developed rear wing it’s so fantastically stable, as if the tires were glued to the south-italian tarmac.

now it’s on. the second lap counts and the growl of the v12 is turning into an infernal shriek as the revs rise -similar to a chainsaw cutting through a giant sequoia tree. wide open throttle is the norm now and even at 280 km/h (174 mph) one is still being pushed into the seat.

meanwhile in 6th gear the raging bull comfortably eclipses the 340 km/h (211 mph) mark, but there’s more. 345.7 km/h (214.8 mph) is what tüv-rheinland’s meticulously accurate and incorruptible gps-based measuring system shows.

cool down lap – not without pride the engine is brought back into more sedate rev ranges, with the knowledge to have achieved the fastest ever recorded top speed of a lamborghini!

even the newly developed rear wing could prove itself in these extreme conditions. no drop in top speed -far from it, and absolutely stable driving behavior even at these high speeds.

with this result edo competition has clearly proven that even small modifications like an ecu recalibration, new high flow air filters and high performance catalytic converters specifically designed for the lp 640 can have a resounding effect.

our thanks go to continental, autobildsportscars, tüv-rheinland and mr. thomas budde, prof. m.d., who measured the heart rate of edo karabegovic and the other pilots during the runs.

while for some test drivers heart rates equaling those of top athletes were measured, our results were well within the comfort range with a peak of 150 beats per minute.

driven by this fantastic success the team of edo competition motorsport will field the lamborghini murciélago lp 640 with considerably more power next time. the goal is 700hp, which should allow for a top speed in excess of 360 km/h (224 mph).

Barabus TKR

Few people know this, but this is now the fastest car ever made, having dethroned the Bugatti beast. The name is not to be confused with the German tuner Brabus, as she's built by the British company Barabus Sportscars Ltd and will be produced in Italy. She has 1005 horsepower, it can do 0 to 60 mph (0-100 km/h) in...unbelievably...1.67 seconds (manufacturer's results). And, surprisingly, this power doesn't come from a huge engine, but rather from a "small" 6.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged with dual intercoolers.This declared speed is impressive and some people think that such a figure is not even possible: 270 mph (435km/h), nearly 20 more than the Veyron.

2006 Mosler

The emission test regulations have kept the wild Mosler MT900s supercar away from North America until now. The Corvette engined MT900s will go on sale in Anaheim, California starting in late fall 2006.
Althogh the Mosler only weighs 2,200 pounds, it packs a beefy 435 horsepower, 5.7 liter Corvette LS6 V8 engine. Once you light the fuse, the Mosler will speed from 0 to 60 miles/hour in 3.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 miles per hour. The body is made of carbon-aluminum honeycomb just like aircraft bulkheads and you can purchase one for $189,000.

2007 Ruf CTR-3

Exactly 20 years after the original CTR, German tuning house RUF has announced the introduction of its third generation CTR3 coinciding with the launch of its new plant in Bahrain. The latest version will be one of the fastest Porsches on offer when it’s released.
RUF has utilized racing technologies first seen on its 911-based RT12 offering. Powering the CTR3 is a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat six engine pumping out 700 bhp at 7,000 rpm with torque topping out at 657 lb-ft. To save weight its developers added several unique body panels made from lightweight carbon-fiber as well as a new lattice tubing spaceframe.

Drive is sent to the wheels via a six-speed sequential manual gearbox that allows the CTR3 to hit 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 235 mph. Braking is done through 15-inch discs and 6-piston calipers front and rear. When the original CTR was released in 1987, it out-performed many of the supercars of its era including cars like the Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Countach and even Porsche’s own 959. The CTR3 is set to do the same but won”t come cheap as pricing is expected to fall at just over $500,000.

Epsilon 2

The Buick guys did it right, moving the 2010 LaCrosse over to this 'bad boy'. Available all-wheel-drive and a direct injection V6? Yes, please. This is the kind of thinking that will turn Buick into the Lexus-fighter it wants to be.
If Pontiac adopted the Epsilon II, it could beef up the suspension and then we have a performance-minded AWD midsize with good fuel economy (What's that? Focused and fuel efficient?). Eventually they could even offer it with a stick, and maybe even a hybrid. Insanity! Pontiac breaking the rules and providing a fun-to-drive hybrid would really put them on the map again, giving the G8 an appropriate little brother. Now that's exciting.
While we're putting good cars on modern platforms, could we maybe stretch out Epsilon 2 for the next Impala? Absolutely. Chevy would lose its V8 options, but sacrifices must be made. The SS could even return one day in turbo V6 guise, a la the Taurus SHO. Hey, if GM wants the V8, they should use the damn Zeta platform as originally planned. This brings me to my next point.

Lamborghini Diablo

Diablo means “Devil” in Spanish, and the car stands true for its name. Introduced in 1990 by the Italian manufacturer, it became famous all around the world, mainly due to celebrities that acquired one (what a waste…).
Design: Just like the Ferrari F40, the initial versions of the Diablo were pretty spartan and focused on performance alone. Late in the 1990s, however, the car gained some softer lines and better interiors.

Performance: The first Diablo packed a 5.7-litre engine, capable of an output of 492 bhp. It could go It goes from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4,1 seconds, and had a maximum speed of 202 mhp (325 km/h).

Chick Factor: High. Let’s be honest here, if you can afford a Lambordhini Diablo you won’t have much trouble getting chicks around

the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

In a bit of old news, the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder has been proclaimed the World’s Most Beautiful Car for 2005, in the sports car category. The Spyder beat out the Aston Martin V8 Vantage by a mere 2 points…should’ve been more.
The L’automobile pi?la del mondo award, as it’s called in Italian, is organized and run by Automobilia. Winners in other categories are listed.
The Spyder is heavy at 3461 lbs; it’s 5L V10 engine produces 520 hp, for a PWR of 6.7 lbs per hp…good, but not great.

Toyota Prius

Auto Express has learned that Toyota is considering naming an entire range after its hi-tech hybrid car - in the same way as it created the Lexus badge for its most expensive machines. Sources say the company is planning to launch three new dual-power models, starting in 2009. Currently, Toyota engineers call these cars the Prius A, B and C. The A will be a Yaris-sized supermini and the B is planned to be a compact hatchback similar to the current Auris. Meanwhile, the C will be a family model in the same class as the Avensis. Although Toyota cars will continue to have their trademark conservative styling, launching a new Prius range would allow top brass at the firm to give their petrol-electric vehicles a more adventurous look. The new family's styling is likely to be heavily influenced by the Hybrid X concept car, which was unveiled for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

A company insider confirmed: "The exterior design won't be as controversial as that of the first-generation Prius. However, the intention is for these cars to stand out from the crowd. We need to strike a balance between a shape that's attractive and has room under the floor for the hybrid system's batteries, plus space for five people and their luggage." Engineers have apparently ruled out making a hybrid people carrier for now because they have been unable to accommodate the batteries in a design that buyers would expect to feature a flat floor. This could change with the use of new compact lithium-ion battery technology.

Natalia SLS 2

DiMora Motorcar has created the world’s first hand-built sports luxury sedan - the Natalia SLS 2. The $2million marvel takes the credit of being the world’s most luxurious, expensive and technologically advanced car, which is loaded with features that most of us have never heard of.
The Natalia has a variable cylinder, aluminum DiMora Volcano V16 engine with 120 hp. It has a lightweight body and chassis, and over 50 computer systems to monitor every facet of the sedan.

The computer talks to the driver, when it detects signs of drowsiness in him. The Natalia senses the emotional state of the driver and thus adjusts the interior temperature and lighting of the car, and the music accordingly.

It has unique beverage holders, which heat or cool the drinks, as desired. If you happen to be on the rear seat, you can enjoy a high-tech luxury massage while you sip your favorite drink.
The amazing beauty makes use of the color change technology, as Natalia’s color transforms from black to blue in cool exteriors whereas from black to white when it is hot outside

Honda Jazz Best Supermini

The Jazz continues to hit all the right notes in the supermini category. It has now won four consecutive titles in this

Compact dimensions and great visibility make it a fine town car, while the large cabin and tall roofline mean it’s an ideal family runaround
sector, and our judges couldn’t look beyond last year’s overall winner because the model simply gets better with age.

You can now snap up the practical five-door with average miles from around £4,500, and as every year passes, there are more cars to pick from. Better still, the solid build quality, hard-wearing cabin and excellent reliability we’ve come to expect from the brand haven’t diminished.Compact dimensions and great visibility combine to make this a fine car around town, while the Tardis-like interior and tall roofline mean it’s ideal as a family runaround. The smart rear seats can also take large loads without having to be folded flat. And while the Jazz’s chunky good looks aren’t the most exciting on the forecourts, they’ve barely changed since its introduction in 2001 and haven’t dated at all.Critics will argue there’s no diesel option, but the original 1.4-litre petrol unit can hit 48mpg, while the 1.2-litre engine – which arrived in 2004 – can touch 51mpg, so the need for an oil-burner is questionable. With three trim levels (S, SE and Sport) and only two engines, it’s hard to buy the wrong Jazz, because they’re all good. There’s even a CVT automatic if you prefer, although there’s nothing wrong with the snappy five-speed manual that comes as standard. The self-shifter commands a healthy premium of around £500 second-hand. However, watch out on entry-level S models, as they’ll only have air-con if it was specified as an extra. Compared with rival superminis, the Honda Jazz can appear expensive, but you can bet the Japanese car will be worth more when you come to part with it. Factor in an excellent dealer network, and you’ll understand precisely why our judges’ decision to pick the Jazz was one of the quickest and easiest of the entire awards.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4

Driving and riding in a classy and expensive vehicle is usually taken as a status symbol. Super luxury cars have been here after Karl Benz got that first patent for a motorwagen in Germany in January 1886. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the car that currently holds the title of being the fastest, most powerful and most expensive production car in the world with a price tag of $1,700,000. But, the scenario is going to change (in terms of pricing, not speed) as DiMora Motors have announced the production of a US $2 million luxury car. Here, I have compiled a list of top 10 luxury cars coming your way. Check them out.

Mitsuoka Orochi

It looks as though it’s from another planet, but this outrageous supercar is Japan’s answer to Ferrari’s finest! If you want to really stand out from the crowd, nothing comes close to the Mitsuoka Orochi.Believe it or not, the two-door uses both Honda and Lexus parts, but its bespoke bodywork makes it unlike anything else on the road. Mitsuoka started life as a replica car builder, converting big Nissans to resemble Daimlers, and tiny Daihatsus to look like Rileys. Now, it is regarded as Japan’s 10th official motor manufacturer – and the hand-built Orochi is its wildest model ever!The Honda NSX-inspired coupé is being billed as a supercar, and even though it made its official debut at the Tokyo Motor Show back in 2001, it has only just landed in Japanese showrooms. It’s already making quite an impact, as pedestrians couldn’t take their eyes off the stunning two-seater during our exclusive drive along the streets of Tokyo.It’s easy to see why, because the distinctive grille, twin headlamps and swooping bodywork are all designed to grab your attention. The circular light clusters and vertical window at the back are clearly inspired by old Ferraris, and the attention the Orochi attracts puts it on a par with any of Italy’s legendary marques.Open the door, however, and that impression quickly begins to fade. As with supercars of old, climbing aboard requires the flexibility of a gymnast, thanks to its wide sills and low ride height, and once inside, the cabin is a disappointment. There’s plenty of leather, and build quality is impressive, but it fails to match the drama and excitement of the exterior. The gear selector for the five-speed automatic box is sourced from a Lexus RX off-roader – and provides the first hint that outright performance has been sacrificed for comfort.The Orochi is powered by a Lexus 3.3-litre V6 engine where you would hope to find something with at least an extra pair of cylinders. So although its mid-engined layout and outrageous styling scream to you supercar, the Mitsuoka’s 231bhp powerplant does anything but. Its modest output and 327Nm of torque result in frustrating performance.The Orochi is the brainchild of company founder Susumu Mitsuoka. It’s the result of his desire to build a vehicle that anyone can drive – and this idea has been followed to the letter. Where you expect the car to be a bruiser, it’s actually a cruiser. The benchmark 0-60mph sprint takes a rather lengthy 7.0 seconds, and the exhaust note is also short on drama.
That’s a shame because the newcomer’s spaceframe chassis sits on race-style double wishbone suspension, and has been tuned by a for­mer Mazda chief test driver.As a result, the Orochi rides excep­tionally well, and while it won’t win any awards for its ultimate cornering ability, it strikes a fine balance bet­ween comfort and handling. It feels superbly planted through fast bends, but lacks the involvement of an out-and-out sports car.Brakes borrowed from the Honda Legend deliver confidence-inspiring stopping ability, and they are more than up to the task. The trouble is, the Mitsuoka is heavier, slower and less practical than the Honda NSX, even though the Orochi boasts its own unique underpinnings. Yet in spite of this, the machine has still proved an enormous success in Japan, where standing out from the crowd is what really matters.The company is already selling all the cars it can build, and is preparing to boost output to six models a week in the months ahead. It’s just a shame there isn’t a more extreme version that delivers the performance capable of matching its sensational looks.Rival: Porsche 911germany’s best-known supercar sets the class standard for driver involvement, and despite its familiar looks, the 911 trumps the Mitsuoka from behind the wheel. With a broad line-up, it’s also likely to hold its value better than the unknown Orochi – but is far more expensive

Audi Max4

The Audi A1 by Jacek Peplowski (Poland) is a mix between an urban coupe and a compact crossover. The clean side shapes are crossed by sloped lines that add a dynamic and sporty look. Among the design cues are the muscular wheelarches, the minimal overhangs, the panoramic windshield and the door handles, integrated in the upper side of the high waistline.
The Concept by Jay Wen-Chieh Wen (New Zealand) makes use of tense lines and acute angles - for instance in the headlights and the glass surfaces contours. The design language is characterized by strong chromatic contrasts and by the new double-framed grille. The result is a dynamic car for young and individualist drivers.

Mercedes

CAR Online has obtained the best info yet on Mercedes’ new AMG ‘Gullwing’ supercar. Depicted in our artist’s impression, the super coupe is codenamed C197 and will make its debut at the 2010 Geneva motor show; a roadster tagged R197 follows a year later. The new two-seater will be badged an AMG, not as a Mercedes (our artist’s impression still displays the Merc star). It’s thus the first standalone product of the go-faster department – and it probably won’t be the last.The coupe and roadster will cost around the same as a well-equipped Porsche 911 Turbo – the target is €150,000 (£105,000) – and in size they are closer to the SLR than the SL.

How big’s the new Gullwing, then?
CAR Online has seen documents spelling out the pair’s dimensions:• Length 4650mm• Width 1950mm• Height 1250mm• Wheelbase 2700mm• Luggage capacity 200 litres (coupe), 175 litres (roadster)That’s quite a big car, then, but it will, intriguingly, be even lighter than the SLR. The target weight for the engineers is 1650kg – 45 kilos less than an SLR and 235kg less than an SL55.How do they do it? By introducing a brand-new advanced aluminium spaceframe technology which is allegedly even more rigid than that carbon fibre tub designed in Woking.
