10. The Ascari A10

       















        The Ascari A10 let drivers enjoy the performance of a BMW V8 5.0 engine that is heavily modified. This engine has the capability to produce 625 horsepower that is delivered by a standard manual transmission and a six speed manual gearbox. The A10 has the capability to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in less than 3 seconds.
        It has the top speed of about 220 miles per hour. Aside from that, the Ascari A10 has a torque of about 413 pounds per feet at 5500 rpm and has a maximum rpm of about 7500.

9. The Noble M600















The Noble M600 has awesome interior and exterior looks. It has a V8 4.4 liter engine and two superchargers under the hood. This engine setup gives the M600 three variants of machine strength that range from 450 hp to a maximum of 650 hp. With these variants, the noble M600 can hit 60 miles per hour in only less than three seconds.
        This super car has the maximum speed of 225 miles per hour. it has a maximum rpm of 6800 and a torque of 604 pounds per feet at 3800 rpm. However, one of the things that may deter an individual from purchasing this car is the lack of brand name recognition. Aside from that, it is not the most fastest or most powerful super car available. It has a price tag of $324,680.

7. Pagani Huayra


        The Pagani Huayra is powered by a Twin Turbo charged v12 6.0 liter engine from Mercedes AMG. The result is a maximum output of 720 horsepower at a very low 5800 rpm. This also gives the Huayra the ability to go from 0-60 mph in only three seconds and reach a top speed of about 230 mph. At the same time, this burst of power is assisted by a seven-speed X-trac sequential transmission.
        This transmission helps the engine maintain carbon emissions that are pollution-friendly. It also makes the Huarya 5 compliant with Euro 5 standards. The starting price of this speed devil is $1,273,500.

7. Zenvo ST1



















        The Zenvo ST1 is powered by a 7.0 liter V8 twin-charged engine that allows the car to reach a maximum speed of about 233 mph and go from 0-60 in only 2.9 seconds.
        This car was created in order to give drivers a unique blend of perfection and speed. It has a base price of $1,225,000.

6. Mclaren F1













The Mclaren F1 is more than just a typical fast car. This is a vehicle that has made a constant mark in automobile history. It is powered by a BMW-designed V12 6.0 liter engine that generates 627 horsepower and only weights about 266 kilograms.
        This engine was chosen because it is reliable and makes it easy for the driver to manipulate the vehicle. This enables the F1 to reach a maximum speed of 240 mph and go from zero to 60 mph in only 3.2 seconds. The only drawback it has is that it costs more than some of the faster models out there. It has a base price of about $970,000.

5. Koenigsegg ccx



        This Koenigsegg CCX is made by the Swedish auto manufacturer Koenigsegg. It has been tested to reach 265 mph even though it is not the manufacturer's fastest car. The CCX is powered by a 806 horsepower V8 engine that is similar to the modular engines found in Ford models.
        However, this engine was thoroughly modified to the point that many car enthusiasts consider it a brand new engine. This is because it features a stronger yet lighter aluminium engine block that is heat treated. It is also equipped with two superchargers that have the capability to reach a maximum of 17.5 psi.
        The outstanding performance numbers of the CCX cannot be denied. It can go from zero to 100 in only 3.2 seconds and from zero to 200 in only 9.8 seconds. this indicates that the car is a force to be reckoned with. Reaching numbers that only the fastest cars in the world can achieve makes this a creation that is manufactured to obtain extreme speed with a price tag of $545,568.

4. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo















        The Saleen S7 is manufactured in U.S by Steve Saleen, a specialty car builder. It is certified to reach 248 mph and go from zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds. this car is powered by twin turbochargers aside from the already formidable V8 7000cc engine that boosted the horsepower to 750 from a mere 550 in the previous model. However, a number of changes have made it one of the fastest vehicles in the world.
        If people look closely, the car has modified front fenders as well as new spoilers and diffusers in order to improve aerodynamics. This ultimately results in a 60 percent increase in the car's downforce along with a 40 percent decrease in drag.
        Aside from that, what makes this car unique among its competitors is that it has a mid-engine layout. The S7 has a price tag of $655,000.

3. SSC Ultimate Aero















       Essentially a modified version of the SSC Aero, he Ultimate Aero is powered by a V8 Twin Turbo engine. The displacement has been increased to a maximum of 6.3 liters while the supercharger boost was increased to 14 psi. The outcome was simply unbelievable. It gives the car more than 1100 newton meters worth of torque and almost 1200 horsepower.
        Subsequent modifications such as a new engine block and twin turbos have allowed the Ultimate Aero's output to increase even furthur. Other modifications also result in a 20 percent increase in engine airflow. All of these modifications give this car a maximum speed of 257 mph, and it can go from zero to 60 in only 2.7 seconds. It also has a price tag of $654,400.

2. Hennessey Venom GT












        The Hennessy Venom GT is produced by Hennessy Engineering Performance. The second fastest car in the world is actually manufactures from a modified chassis of the lotis Exige and is powered by a 6.2 liter V8 twin turbo charged engine from General Motors.

1. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport











        The Fastest road-legal car in the world made it's debut in 2010. The Veyron Super sport obtains it's power from a W16 Narrow Angle eight liter engine that gives it the capability to accelerate from 0-60 mph in only 2.4 seconds.
        This engine is helped by four bi-turbochargers that have a total displacement of 487.8 cubic inches. Each of the car's cylinder has four valves to give the fastest vehicle on earth a total of 64 valves. This unique engine combination is the same as fusing a couple of V8 engines to make it a W instead of V.
        This generates a total of 1200 horsepower. That is nearly 200 HP more than last year's model. It also gives it a top speed of 267 mph. Unfortunately, this speed comes with a hefty price tag of $2,400,000.

Wow, Check out the new McLaren P1 GTR's interior

McLaren P1 GTR's interior


McLaren P1 GTR

       
        The new McLaren P1 GTR will feature a steering wheel inspired by the one on Lewis Hamilton's championship-winning 2008 MP4-23 Formula One car.
        First off, you should know that the P1 GTR is an even harder, more powerful version of the already quite powerful ‘standard' P1. It's combination of 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 and electric motor now produces a whopping 986bhp, 83bhp more than the ordinary P1. It looks like something from a Batman movie car.
        We also get a good look at the insides, and that wheel. As mentioned, it takes cues from the MP4-23, with the mode switches in the centre, DRS and IPAS buttons on the top corners, the engine start in the bottom right hand corner and a KITT-style ‘boost' button included too. All in, it looks bloody excellent.
        There are lightweight DTM-style seats with motorsport six-point harnesses - specially setup for each individual driver - with a HANS-approved carbon fibre seat shell. And though it's pretty sparse inside, there's still air-con, a sure necessity.
        Considering just 30 are expected to be built, each costing somewhere in the region of £2 million.

Check out this new Entertainment Hub 'Keecker'

Keecker - Robotic home entertainment system
This Egg type looking device is called 'Keecker', a robot home entertainment system. The functions it performs are pretty amazing. In addition to a veritable boatload of sensor technology, the robot is equipped with a self-adjusting HD projector and a 360-degree sound system under the hood, so it’s mostly intended for use as an entertainment hub.


        On top of that, Keecker sports over a terabyte of local storage for movies, music, and games; and can also connect to the Internet to play content from websites and streaming services. But it’s more than just an egg-shaped projector/media center. Keecker is also outfitted with a set of wheels, a camera, and special navigation software that allows it to follow you around the house. The idea is that, instead of you getting up and physically moving yourself to wherever your home theater might be, you can use your smartphone to summon Keecker to the spot you happen to be in.
Get a big bang of entertainment from this cool robot :)
