Pagani Zonda F

The Pagani Zonda is a pretty awesome mid engine, real wheel drive, super car they is both fast and furious. The Zonda has been out since 1999 with only 207 units produced until 2011 when it stopped after three special editions with the Huayra replacing it. The last special edition is being produced up through 2012. The car was originally designed by a F1 driver and was going to be named after him but when he died in 1995 Pagani changed the name to an air current above there home country of Italy. The were two different body styles: Berlinetta or coupe and Roadster which where both 2 seater. There where nine normal models and 14 special editions over its 13 year rain. The one I'm ma going to cover is the Zonda F which is the most known Zonda. The F like all Zonda was made out of carbon fiber with a massive engine in the back. The F had a Mercedes-Benz AMG, 7.3 L, V12 with 602 hp and 560 ft-lb of torque. That massive engine plus the light weight of the F, weighing in at 2,700 lbs and the dual clutch sequential gear box made it possible for lighting  fast shifts and a 0-60 mph time of only 3.6 seconds. The thing that sets the Zonda F apart from most cars in the world is its top speed 214 MPH and its price tag of $1,388,270.94, yes it does cost almost 1.5 million.

Honda S2000

Im going to start by saying that this is my dad's favorite car even though he has never driving on in his life. The S2000 has a FMR or  front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout which means that the engine is in the front but is behind the front wheels and the rest is self explanatory. One of the most interesting reasons why they built the car was because it was Honda's 50th university in 1995 when the S2000 came out as a prototype at the Tokyo Motor Show and was on the road four years later. The S2000 came in a convertible version only, but Honda used some awesome technology to keep the car light. Since the car only weighed 2840 lbs, its 2 L inline 4 cylinder engine and its 240 Hp with 162 ft-lb of torque could propel the S2000 up to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 149 mph. It was also a handling monster with a 50:50 weight distribution. Unfortunately the S2000 was canceled when the stock market crashed in 2009 with 110,637 units sold over all 10 years. The S2000 base price cost $34,995 and the top of the line CR at $36,695with a EPA city mileage of 23 mpg whoa a affordable fun car that got canceled, what a surprise.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

In 2010 The Mercedes-Benze SLR McLaren was canceled leaving a open spot for Mercedes' own super car, the SLS AMG a partially new super car. The SLS is actually classified as a Grand tourer which means a very fast car that is luxurious.Its not short on the luxury with leather seats and a sat. nav. display. To go along with the luxury you also have to talk about safety which involves the SLS' gullwing doors. Ten to fifteen milliseconds after a detected rollover, explosive bolts situated at the top of the door frame fire and bell cranks separate the doors from the car for easy exit during a serious accident. On the other hand it does not lack on the performance part either. The SLS has a 6.2 L V8 with 563 hp and 480 ft-lb of torque. The car itself weighs 3,600 lbs which for a performance luxury car is pretty good. The SLS' 0-60 mph time is 3.8 seconds with an electronically limited 197 mph. Car and Driver drove the SLS in a quarter mile race witch it timed in at 11.7 seconds which is very good. The SLS AMG cost $189,600 with MPG of  14 city/20 highwy.

 

Audi R8

In 2006 Audi brought out a really awesome car, the Audi R8. First off its mid engine with Audi's amazing quattro all-wheel drive system, so it handles like a champ even though the car is pretty heavy. It also comes in either a coupe or a convertible also referred to as spyder body style. The coupe weighs 3,439-3,583 lbs and the spyder weighs 3,792-3,803 lbs. There are also GT models both body styles which are just insane. For both body styles there are also two engine options a 4.2 L V8 with 414 hp and a 5.2 L with 518 hp. The V8 can do a 0-60 time in just 4.8 seconds and go all the way up to 185. The V10 can do a 0-60 mph time in just 3.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 197 mph. The coupe base model cost $114,200 with the spyder base model costing $127,700. 

Lancia Stratos

The Lancia Stratos is one of kind car that rained its dominance form 1972-74. Since it was of course Italian it had to be two things: fast and beautiful. It filled both those categories quite well with a mid-mounted Ferrari V6 with 192 hp in a car that weighed 2,161 lbs. In the looks category I will let the pictures describe its magnificence. Back to its performance since it was so light and also had a very short wheelbase at only 85.83 inches it made its name in the racing world both on and off the dirt. With almost 200 hp and a cerb weight of just over 2,000 lbs the Stratos could go from 0-60 mph in just under 5 seconds and get all the way up to 144 mph. The Stratos had about 18 World Rally Championship viceroys roughly from 1974 to 1981 which is pretty impressive because there where only 492 ever made. Long live the Lancia Stratos.

The Legendary Rally Version

Audi RS6

The Audi RS6 lived and died a legend. It was first put into production in 2002 as a sedan and estate layout which was put out of production in 2004. Now that model was pretty cool with 444hp but in 2008 when Audi brought back the RS it became something of a multi personality monster. It was also offered in an estate and sedan layout but instead of a mer 444hp its 5.0 L V10 produced 571 hp with 479 ft-lb-torque and thats a lot for a sedan/estate car. The car itself only weighed 4,464 lbs with a 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds and a optional unlimited top speed of 170 mph. There where only 8,000 sold from '08 to'10 when they stopped production. Unfortunately there was not a signal one sent to the US manly because the base price was $160,000.

There fun to drive, expensive, and very comfortable. Rolls Royce offers 44,000 different colors to chose from and almost any leather color you can think of. To also add on to the luxury the rear doors henge opposite of the front getting there name suicide doors. There are buttons mounted on the door pillars on the in-side so you don't have to reach out and pull the door in your self. The whole car is assembled by hand and The Phantom does not lake on power ether. The BMW V12 has 435hp with 530 ft-lb of torque. Even though the car weighs 5,600 lbs it can still go from 0-60 mph in just 5.6 seconds and will eventually get up to 186 mph. Do keep in mind the the Rolls-Roycs Phantom does cost $398,970.
