Pagani Huaryra

The Pagani Huaryra is the newest hyper car from the Italian company Pagani. The car is made manly of carbon fiber and aluminum which helps keep the weight down to 3,000 lbs. Also to save weight the used a sequential gear box instead of a dual clutch even though it shifts slower. That might seem heavy for a car mad out of carbon fiber and aluminum but is is caring around a twin-turbo Mercedes-AMG V12 in the back. The 6 Liter engine produces over 700 hp with a top speed of 230 mph. The Huaryra can do 0-60mph in just 3.3 seconds. Unfortunately like all Italian made cars the Huaryra will cost $1,150,000  when it comes out in 2013. Scary right.

Jensen Interceptor

The Jensen Interceptor was a sporty, United Kingdom, GT car hand made from 1966 to 1976. The body was made from steel instead of glass reinforced plastic. The Interceptor had a Chrysler V8 with a option of about 390hp. It was a expensive lightish car weighing in at 3,500 lbs but was built very poorly so it never really caught on.

Ascari A10

The Ascari A10 is built by a British company founded by a Dutch millionaire Klaas Zwart. The A10 was designed by a ex-formula one driver Paul Brown. The A10 is also the third car with the name intended to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the company. The engine in the A10 is a modified BMW 5.0 L V8 producing 625 hp. With a body made completely from carbon fiber  and no soundproofing or air conditioning the A10's weight is only 2,882. With its powerful engine and light weight the A10 can get up to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and all the way up to 220 mph. Unfortunately Ascari is going to hand assemble only 50 with prices starting at $650,000.

McLaren F1

The McLaren F1 was the super car from 1992-1998 with only 106 made. For about $970,000 you get three seats, luggage compartments, and a gold lined engine compartment because its the best insulator. Another thing you get is a car that can go from 0-60 in 3.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 243 mph. It does this with a curb weight of 2,513 lb and a BMW 6.1 L, V12 with 618 hp. One reason the car was so light is because the body panels where made of carbon fiber. Since the car was made of carbon fiber it needed a good insulator so about .8 ounces of gold foil was used on each car in the engine bay. As of today each .8 ounces of gold out of the engine compartment would cost $1363.84. Further more the McLaren F1 can get up to 23 mpg!

Gumpert Apollo

The Gumpert Apollo is one of the newest super cars out with production starting in 2005. The car prototype was funded by Audi and assist in making the car. Since the Apollo has carbon fiber body panels it only weighs about 2,400 lbs and with a 4.2L, 650 hp V8 it only takes the Apollo about 3 seconds to reach 60 mph and only 9 seconds to reach 120. With race car aerodynamics the car can reach over 223 mph and if driven at 190 mph can stay upside down in side a tunnel. Unfortunately like all fun toys the Apollo comes with a $400,000 but is offered in the US.
