JAKARTA - Pasar mobil sport premium diyakini semakin membesar menyusul kehadiran McLaren di Tanah Air melalui PT Mega Performa Indonesia sebagai agen tunggal pemegang merek.

Ian Gorsuch, Regional Director Asia Pacific, McLaren Automotive Asia, mengungkapkan kehadiran pihaknya di Indonesia akan memberikan layanan lengkap sebagai importir dan penjual dari produk prinsipal asal Inggris tersebut.

"Kami berkomiten memberikan yang terbaik bagi konsumen kami, baik untuk penjualan maupun perawatan dari produk kami," ujarnya, Senin (26/11).

Indradjit Sardjono, Chief Executive Officer Mega Performa Indonesia, mengatakan saat ini pihaknya tengah membangun showroom di Mal Pacific Place dan workshop di jalan Arteri Pondok Indah, Jakarta Selatan.

Workshop tersebut, lanjutnya, akan dilengkapi dengan pusat layanan resmi dengan teknisi handal yang terdiri dari 2 teknisi power train dan 2 teknisi body repair serta dilatih khusus di kantor pusat McLaren di Woking, Inggris.

Keputusan McLaren merambah pasar mobil sport di dalam negeri, tuturnya, diambil karena melihat segmen tersebut tumbuh dengan baik yang terlihat dari meningkatnya penjualan para kompetitor, seperti Ferrari dan Lamborghini.

"Melihat pertumbuhan ekonomi yang sangat baik, kami yakin pasar mobil sport premium akan terus berkembang," katanya.

Dengan kehadiran McLaren, pihaknya memproyeksikan pasar mobil sport premium dapat mencapai 150-200 unit tahun depan dan mengincar sekitar 10% dari pangsa pasar di segmen tersebut.

Pihaknya mengungkapkan beberapa daerah yang memiliki pasar potensial di dalam negeri di antaranya adalah Jakarta, Surabaya, Bali, serta Balikpapan yang memiliki potensi sumber daya alam melimpah.

Namun, saat ini pihaknya masih fokus menjajal pasar di Jakarta dan menyempurnakan showroom dan workshop dengan nilai investasi mencapai US$3 juta -US$4 juta, belum termasuk biaya tanah dan nilai produk.

"Saat ini 2 unit produk kami telah terjual dan 2 konsumen lainnya memasuki tahap finalisasi pembelian," ujarnya.

McLaren Indonesia, lanjutnya, akan mendapat pasokan 20 unit yang terdiri dari berbagai model seperti Spider, Coupe, dan P1 dan direncanakan mulai dikirimkan pada kuartal I tahun depan.

Kehadiran McLaren ini, lanjutnya, merupakan peluncuran yang kedua setelah sebelumnya di Singapura dan selanjutnya akan diresmikan di Malaysia.

BMW i8 hybrid (BMW)

Anda tentu masih ingat dengan mobil sport canggih yang dipergunakan dalam film 'Mission Impossible 4 - Ghost Protocol' dan tak hanya dalam film, mobil garapan BMW ini juga dihadirkan pada ajang pameran terbesar Geneva Motor Show bulan Maret lalu.
Memang mobil ini masih hadir dalam versi konsep, tapi pihak BMW baru saja memutuskan akan memproduksi varian sedan sport coupe canggih i8. Pimpinan bagian Sales and Marketing BMW, Ian Robertson, mengabarkan bahwa BMW i8 plug-in hybrid ini akan dibanderol lebih dari 100 ribu Euro atau sekitar lebih dari Rp 1.1 miliaran.
"Ini adalah mobil super sport dan pasti akan memiliki harga tinggi. Keputusan final tentang harga memang belum diputuskan, namun yang pasti ada di kisaran 100 ribu Euro ke atas," jelas Ian Robertson, seperti yang dilansir inautonews, Kamis (14/06).
Mengingat kembali, sportcar dengan desain futuristik ini pertama kali diperkenalkan dalam bentuk konsep pada ajang Frankfurt Motor Show 2011. Bavarian Motor Works memang telah berjanji akan meluncurkan BMW i8 dengan menggunakan mesin bensin yang digabung dengan motor listrik.
Pihak BMW juga telah mengumumkan dalam minggu ini akan membuat mesin baru dengan konfigurasi 3 silinder untuk BMW i8. Dikabarkan juga kalau sedan sport ini akan dirakit secara eksklusif di pabrik Hams Hall, Birmingham, Inggris. Dan pada pabrik ini akan menjadi pusat BMW dalam memproduksi mesin 3 silindernya.
"Mesin bensin 3 silinder ini akan dipergunakan pada mobil sport BMW i8 plug-in hybrid dan akan menjadi standar untuk dynamic performance dalam sebuah kombinasi mesin untuk menghasilkan mesin yang lebih irit bahan bakar," tambahnya.
BMW i8 akan mampu menghasilkan total tenaga sebesar 393hp, dimana motor listrik menyumbang tenaga 170 hp ini ditempatkan di sistem penggerak roda depan. Sedangkan sisa tenaga akan disalurkan ke penggerak roda belakang melalui mesin bensin kapasitas 1.5 liter turbocharged tiga silinder dengan total torsi yang dihasilkan mencapai 550 Nm.
Dengan performa mesin ini, BMW i8 dapat melesat dari 0-100km/h dapat dicapai di bawah 5 detik. Sedangkan untuk konsumsi bahan bakar kombinasi teknologi mesin hybrid ini dapat mencapai angka 3 liter/100km. (kpl/vin)

BMW X9 Concept

BMW X9, did you ever think if the Caped Crusader ever gets sick and exhausted of his batmobile and want to have a contemporary car instead? What kind of car he’ll opt for? The one shown above has all that batman would absolutely tumble for. Confirmed as the BMW X9 Concept  the 18-year old developer from Egypt, Khalfi Oussama, might absolutely have believed of a contemporary car for batman before providing appearance to this car. Unfortunately we do not have all that specialized information and facts of the car or what was the creativity behind, but check out the images and you will rhyme with me that this unusual car is an suitable opera for the Black Darkish night.
BMW X9
BMW X9

We highly counsel you to source thinking until you have seen all the photos of BMW X9. At this factor, we’d like to say that after looking at the images for more than a instant, we started seeing destinations. And chaotic pigmies with a penchant for chicken scratchings moving around the sides of our face. Really. Most of time we are pleased with unofficial concept vehicles. Clearly, there is another, much angrier area to this questionable money.


BMW X9
BMW X9

Khalfi Oussama is an 18-year old developer from Egypt. By all records, Oussama’s a besides of a developer with a apparently good chance at his convenience. But as is the situation with youthful hotshots, Oussama’s thoughts sometimes goes into super speed and when that happens, you get something like this.

Looking less like a car BMW would actually generate and more like a device you would error for a world-mongering Decepticon, Oussama’s BMW X9 Idea certainly does not absence in attention-grabbing information. It’s innovative and stylistically extreme style is, well, a little too much for us to deal with. And justification us if we discover this X9 Idea a little too just like that mountaneous four-wheeled waste batman used in the Black Darkish night - this idea even creates a little referential push to the Caped Crusader with that Batmobile-esque set of part back lighting.


BMW X9

The BMW X9 not that we do not like it we actually do - but Oussama’s concept could use a little ab muscles down. The child's definitely got a community of prospective, it’s just a issue of improving his abilities and discovering that too much of something does not always mean something good.

5 Mobil Super Ultra Ringan

5 Mobil Super Ultra Ringanhttp://stwot.motortrend.com/files/2012/07/Mansory-Carbonado-Lamborghini-Aventador-rear-three-quarter-623x389.jpg


Jakarta - Pada banyak mobil sport, bahan serat karbon banyak digunakan. Bahan ini dipilih karena selain kuat, serat karbon juga memiliki bobot yang lebih ringan dibanding bahan lain seperti fiberglass, misalnya.
Karena itulah, banyak pabrikan menggunakan bahan ini untuk digunakan di mobil-mobilnya. Pecinta otomotif pun terkadang mengganti beberapa bagian mobil dengan bahan carbon fiber untuk mendapatkan kesan sporty.

Material yang super ringan ini pun telah digunakan di hampir seluruh bagian mobil mulai dari panel body hingga jok. Bobotnya yang ringan membuat mobil menjadi lebih enteng yang pada akhirnya mampu membuatnya berlari lebih cepat.

Berikut kami tampilkan 5 mobil super dengan tubuh super ringan dikutip dari Carbuzz, Jumat (27/7/2012).

1. Carbonado Aventador

Mobil ini dimodifikasi oleh rumah tuning Mansory yang membuatkan tubuh carbon fiber baru untuk banteng Lamborghini Aventador. Penggunaan carbon fiber sekilas pandang saja sudah dapat diketahui karena hampir ada di semua bagian luar mobil.

Lihat saja bagian depan, samping hingga buritan mobil yang sudah berselimut carbon fiber.


Dengan penggunaan bahan ultra ringan ini, Carbonado Aventador ini pun mampu berlari hingga kecepatan 354 km/jam dan berakselerasi dari diam sampai 100 km/jam hanya dalam waktu 2,8 detik saja atau lebih cepat 0,1 detik dari Aventador standar.


2. Pagani Huayra Carbon Edition


Mobil ini pertama kali mencuri perhatian di Geneva Motor Show 2012 yang baru saja digelar beberapa waktu lalu. Tubuh supercar Italia ini tidak lagi berlabur cat biasa, namun sudah diganti dengan serat karbon.


Penggunaan bahan yang bagai anyaman tersebut dapat terlihat tidak hanya di eksterior, tapi juga di interiornya mulai dari dashboard hingga aksen di jok.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qALGWQRfhyA/T1Yuj8Y-kTI/AAAAAAAG6Rw/lsw5vzgAHE0/s1600/Pagani-Huayra-2.jpg
3. 458 Carbon Edition


Apa jadinya kalau tuner Jerman menggarap mobil Italia? Ya, inilah jadinya, sebuah Ferrari 458 Italia yang makin sporty dari versi standarnya.


Adalah Anderson yang merupakan tuner asal Jerman yang memberi makeover pada 458 Italia untuk kemudian memberinya nama baru, 458 Carbon Edition. Mobil ini sudah dilengkapi dengan beragam paket untuk menambah aerodinamika kendaraan.


Serat karbon dapat terlihat di spoiler depan dan belakang, side sills yang lebar, intake grille, grid ventilation hingga atap, diffuser, dan handle pintu.

http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop/201111/ferrari-458-carbon-e-3_800x0w.jpg
4. PPI Design Audi R8 Razor GTR


Mobil ini sebenarnya dibuat untuk atlet ski asal Swedia bernama Jon Olsson. Diberi nama PPI Design Audi R8 Razor GTR, mobil ini sudah memiliki body kit serat karbon yang komplit.


Sebab, hampir semua panel yang ada di mobil ini sudah diganti dengan panel yang masing-masing rata-rata hanya memiliki berat 600 gram saja yang kemudian dilindungi 10 lapisan pernis dan diberi aksen emas.


Audi sendiri di 2014 mengumumkan akan mengeluarkan versi terbaru dari R8 yang tubuhnya dibalut serat karbon dan beberapa bagian berbahan aluminium

http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/PPI-GTR-10-OLSSON-1.jpg
5. 458 Black Carbon Edition


Sebenarnya ketika diteliti, tidak ada perbedaan yang terlalu signifikan antara Anderson 458 Carbon Edition dan 458 Black Carbon Edition di atas.


Sebab serat karbon juga digunakan pada air intakes, konsol tengah, pegangan pintu dan sills, shift paddles dan seat levers.


Warna hitam yang dominan terlihat cukup berhasil membangkitkan kesan sangar dari mobil si kuda jingkrak tersebut.

TOP 10 Modern Supercars

Ferrari Enzo
ferrari enzo 1 300x225 Top 10 modern Supercars

Ferrari Enzo specifications
Top Speed: 362 km/h
Power: 660 HP
Engine: V12 6.0 litre
The legendary Ferrari Enzo was named in the name of the racing car company founder Enzo Ferrari. The front section of this Ferrari supercar has derived directly from Formula 1, the entire body shape was tweaked for optimal airflow and cooling of the engine and the brakes. It is equipped with an ultra-light, 6.0-litre V-12 engine, that is capable of producing 110 bhp per litre of gas. Ferrari has promised to come out with a new version of a supercar based on the Enzo every four years. It is really interesting to see what kind of improvements can be made on such supercar, which is already nearly perfect. Ferrari Enzo (at its time) was the fastest and best performing supercar ever built. The doors of Ferrari Enzo, like in many other exotic supercars, open upwards making this powerful car even more distinctive.
Porsche Carrera GT
2007 Gemballa Porsche Carrera Mirage GT 300x225 Top 10 modern Supercars
The Porsche Carrera GT (Project Code 980) is a mid-engined sports car that was manufactured by Porsche in Leipzig, Germany.
The Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7 litre V10 engine producing 612 DIN (605 SAE) horsepower (450 kW), whereas the original concept car featured a 5.5 litre version rated at 558 hp (416 kW). Porsche claims it will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds and has a maximum speed of 330 km/h (205 mph), although road tests indicated that in reality the car can accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.5 seconds and 0-100 mph (160 km/h) in 6.8 seconds, while 0-125 mph (201 km/h) in 9.9 seconds.
The Carrera GT has a basic five colour paint scheme which includes Guards Red, Fayence Yellow, Basalt Black, GT Silver and Seal Grey. Custom colours were also available from the factory. A traditional six-speed manual transmission is the only available transmission. Attached to this gearbox is a beechwood gearknob which pays homage to the wooden gearknob used in the Porsche 917 Le Mans racers. In its second year of production, a limited edition carbon fibre knob was also made available.
The Carrera GT has large side inlets and air dams that help cool the large V10 engine that had 612 bhp (456 kW; 620 PS)  framed by the carbon fibre rear hood. Fitted with Porsche’s latest Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite brake system, the 15-inch (380 mm) SGL Carbon disc brakes make an impressive appearance underneath the 19 inch front and 20 inch rear wheels. Similar to other Porsche models, such as the 911, the GT includes an automated rear wing spoiler which deploys above 70 mph (110 km/h).
The interior is fitted with soft leather. Bose audio system and navigation systems are available as options. In typical Porsche fashion, the ignition is to the left of the steering wheel. This placement dates back to the early days of Le Mans racing when drivers were required to make a running start, hop into their cars, start them and begin the race. The placement of the ignition enabled the driver to start the car with his left hand and put it in gear with his right. Notable technology includes a pure carbon fiber monocoque and subframe, dry sump lubrication and inboard suspension. The carbon fiber monocoque and subframe were produced and assembled by ATR Composites Group of Italy. The spoiler of the Carrera GT extends into the air when the car reaches about 60 miles (97 km) an hour and evens out the air flow, which causes less drag. The Carrera GT radiator is about five times the size of a 911 Turbo’s.
Maserati MC12
Maserati MC12 Blue FA Top 1280x960 300x225 Top 10 modern Supercars
Unveiled at the 2004 Geneva motor show, it was a very exclusive mid-engine model originally intended to be hand-built in just 25 units, all of which sold-out before its launch. Due to the MC12’s considerable success, immediately followed up with numerous victories in the FIA’s GT1 class, a second batch of 25 cars was built in 2005.
Designed for high level road use, the MC12 exceeded 330 kmh at full throttle, sprinting from 0 to 100 kmh in just 3.8 seconds. The MC12 benefited from the Ferrari-Maserati Group’s most advanced technologies and competition experience. Its naturally aspirated 6 litre V12 punched out 465 kW at 7500 rpm, yet offered absolutely excellent drivability, remaining exceptionally lively and fluid even at low engine speeds. An aluminium crankcase, titanium con-rods and extremely efficient fourvalve cylinder heads were all part of its design. Four gear-driven overhead camshafts provided perfect timing control. The unit was mated to Maserati’s proven six-speed Cambiocorsa transmission, offering computerised gear selection. In Race mode, the system was mapped to deliver much faster gear changes and to activate the ASR.
The MC12’s independent wishbone front and rear suspension with anti-dive and anti-squat geometries and push-rod set-up offered an extremely progressive suspension response for exceptionally precise handling in all conditions. The stress-bearing chassis was made from a carbon fibre and Nomex honeycomb sandwich, while the two-seater coupé/spyder bodywork was constructed entirely from carbon fibre, and featured a removable hard top. The car’s styling was developed in the wind tunnel from an idealoriginally from Giugiaro by Maserati’s own technicians with the invaluable contribution of Frank Stephenson, then in charge of the Ferrari Maserati Group’s Concept Design and Development department. Intensive wind tunnel testing and advanced mathematical computations, combined with work on the track and on the road resulted in an extraordinarily efficient shape that exudes power and personality. All air intakes, vents and other aerodynamic components had been designed to optimise the car’s internal fluid dynamics and air flows to ensure optimal downforce (vertical load) and aerodynamic efficiency values. The whole underside of the car had been faired in and sealed with the fitting of two generous diffusers for maximum ground effect.
The MC12 was Maserati’s first mid-engine road-legal GT since 1982. In June 2004, Maserati’s CEO Martin Leach personally demonstrated the car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Among the lucky few worldwide clients was Jason Kay, lead singer of British pop band Jamiroquai.
Saleen S7 Twin Turbo
saleen s7 twin turbo 300x200 Top 10 modern Supercars
Saleen S7 Twin Turbo specs
Top Speed: 248 mph / 399.1 km/h
0-60 mph: 2.8 seconds
0-100 mph: 6 seconds
0 – 1/4 Mile: 10.7 secs. @ 136 mph
Engine: V8, 7-liter 750 HP Twin-Turbo
Saleen’s S7 is America’s first and up to date the only exotic supercar with mid-engine configuration. When in 2002 S7 went on sale, it was the only street-legal car in the United States that has more than 500 horse power output and 500 lb-ft of torque. S7 Twin-Turbo is the successor of the already legendary supercar S7. Like in any other true supercar, the doors of Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo open upward and away from the body. It features an even more powerful all-aluminum V8 engine, which produces 750 horse power @ 6300 rpm and 700 lb-ft of torque. Redline is at 6500 rpm. 2006 version of Saleen exotic car also has one unique interior feature – a video rear-view mirror. There actually is a small video camera mounted in the rear of the fast car, which transmits the view to the driver. The main idea here was not to use standard rear-view mirrors in favour of aerodynamics, thus reducing aero drag and increasing down force.
Pagani Zonda C12 F
paganizonda 300x225 Top 10 modern Supercars
The Zonda C12 F debuted at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. It is the most extensive reengineering of the Pagani car yet, though it shares much with its predecessors including the 7.3 L V12. Power is increased to 602 PS (443 kW/594 hp) with a special clubsport model producing 650 PS (478 kW/641 hp). The company promises a 3.2 second sprint to 60 mph (97 km/h, a top speed over 374 km/h (225 mph) and it will be the queen in braking from 300 km/h to 0 (186 mph to 0). The Zonda F clubsport has a power to weight ratio of 521 bhp/ton (384 W/kg) . Compare, for example, the Enzo Ferrari which has a power to weight ratio of 483 bhp/ton (356 W/kg).
Koenigsegg CCX
koenigccx06 300x164 Top 10 modern Supercars
The Koenigsegg CCX is the latest supercar from Koenigsegg. CCX is an abbreviation for Competition Coupe X. The X commemorates the 10th anniversary of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle in 1996. The CCX is intended to be more suitable for the U.S. market and thus engineered to comply with US regulations. The CCX is powered by a Koenigsegg designed and assembled, all aluminium, 4700 cm³ DOHC 32-valve V8 based on the Ford Modular engine architecture enhanced with twin Rotrex centrifugal superchargers with response system, 1.2 bar boost pressure and an 8.2:1 compression ratio.

Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR SS
Mercedes Benz CLK GTR  300x225 Top 10 modern Supercars

The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR is a grand tourer and race car that was built by Mercedes-AMG, performance and motorsports arm of Mercedes-Benz. Intended for racing in the new FIA GT Championship series in 1997, the CLK GTR was designed primarily as a race car, with the road cars necessary in order to meethomologation standards being secondary in the car’s design. Thus the limited production road-going cars were considered racing cars for the road.
After competing successfully in 1997, the race car was upgraded in 1998 for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and renamed the CLK LM. Following the construction of the CLK LMs and the CLK GTR road cars, the project would end in 1999 by being replaced by the Mercedes-Benz CLR Le Mans prototype.
After the completion of the 20 original CLK GTRs, AMG’s specialist group H.W.A., who had assisted in the construction of the CLK GTRs, began construction of a roadster version of the CLK GTR. Built either by modifying an existing CLK GTR or by building a new car from spare chassis and parts, these cars were modified with the removal of their roofs as well as a reconstruction of their engine covers. Also the rearwing was replaced by a separate black wing, close to the one on the race CLK-GTR. Further the Roadster can be recognized by its different grille, which had a large star in it instead of a small version above it. Two rollbars integrating the cockpit headrests were used not only for structural integrity, but also rollover protection. A total of six CLK GTR Roadsters were built by the company.
H.W.A. also constructed a second variant, known as the CLK GTR Super Sport. These cars were similar to CLK GTRs, yet were powered instead by the newerMercedes-AMG 7.3L V12 which had been in use in the Pagani Zonda and Mercedes-Benz SL73 AMG. The car also gained an additional front splitter for better stability at high speeds. Only five were built with the 7.3L engine: prototype #2, chassis #01, #03, #13, and #17. Only one of them was badged as the SuperSport (#17).
In total, 26 CLK-GTR production road versions were constructed. Of these 26, 20 are coupes and six are roadsters. Two of these were equipped with RHD steering: one coupe (silver exterior/tartan interior) and one roadster (dark silver exterior/magenta interior). These were constructed for Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei.Both RHD cars were auctioned on 28 October 2009 by RM Auctions in London.
Bugatti 16/4 Veyron

The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a mid-engine grand tourer developed by the German car-manufacturer Volkswagen and produced by the Volkswagen-brand Bugatti Automobiles SAS at their headquarters in Château St. Jean in Molsheim (Alsace, France), and whose production and development is often credited to Ferdinand Karl Piech. It is named after French racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti company.
Two hundred Veyrons are known to have been built and delivered since production began through late 2008. Veyron editions include the Veyron, Veyron 16.4, Pur Sang, Hermes Edition, Sang Noir, Targa, Vincero, and the Bleu Centenaire. It will be replaced with the Grand Sport, which is essentially a Veyron convertible.
According to Volkswagen Group, the DIN rated motive power output, approved by TÜV Süddeutschland, of the final production Veyron engine produces 736 kilowatts (1,001 PS; 987 bhp), and generates 1,250 newton metres (922 ft·lbf) of torque.The figure has been confirmed by Bugatti officials to actually be conservative, with the real total being 753 kilowatts (1,024 PS; 1,010 bhp) or more.
The top speed was verified by James May on Top Gear for the November 2006 issue, again at Volkswagen Group’s private Ehra-Lessien test track, where the final-production car hit 407.9 km/h, which equated to almost one-third of the speed of sound at sea level. As the Bugatti Veyron approached the top speed during the test, May said that “the tires will only last for about fifteen minutes, but it’s okay because the fuel runs out in twelve minutes”. He also gave an indication of the power requirements, at a constant 250 km/h, the Veyron is using approximately 600 to 1001 horsepower with a 0 to 60 time of 2.5 seconds putting it at the fastest street legal car on earth, but to get to its rated 408 km/h top speed required far more from the engine. Once back in the Top Gear studio, James was asked by co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson what the Veyron felt like to drive at 407 km/h (253mph) , James replied that it was “totally undramatic”, and very stable at speed.[
German inspection officials recorded an average top speed of 408.47 km/h  during test sessions on the Ehra Lessien test track on 2005-04-19. The Bugatti website still refers to the Veyron as the fastest production vehicle of all time.
The car's everyday top speed is listed at 350 km/h. When the car reaches 220 km/h, hydraulics lower the car until it has a ground clearance of about 9 cm. At the same time, the wing and spoiler deploy. This is the "handling mode", in which the wing helps provide 3,425 newtons (770 lbf) of downforce, holding the car to the road.The driver must, using a special key (the "Top Speed Key"), toggle the lock to the left of his seat in order to attain the maximum (average) speed of 408 km/h. The key functions only when the vehicle is at a stop, when a checklist then establishes whether the car—and its driver—are ready to enable 'top speed' mode. If all systems are go, the rear spoiler retracts, the front air diffusers shut and the ground clearance, normally 12.5 cm, drops to 6.5 cm.
Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

As if the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 wasn't exclusive or expensive enough, the Italian luxury sports car has decided to partner with design house Versace once again for a designer luxury supercar.
Featuring exclusive Versace logos plastered in all the right places, the 2009 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 Roadster Versace is by special order only. Lamborghini touts the Versace edition Murcielago as a partnership between two exclusive Italian luxury brands.
The open-top Lambo has all the standard features of the screaming-fast Murcielago LP 640, decked out in white with white-and-black leather and a new clear casing for the engine cover. More photos on the way as they are released.
In March 2006, Lamborghini presented a new version of its halo car at the Geneva Motor Show; the Murciélago LP640. The new designation accompanying the car's name indicated the engine's position and orientation within the car (Longitudinale Posteriore, or "Rear Longitudinal"), and referenced the V12 engine's uprated power output; with its displacement increased to 6.5 litres, the engine in the new car made 640 PS (470 kW; 630 hp) at 8000 rpm. The Murciélago's exterior received a minor facelift, with revised front and rear fascias and side air intakes. A new exhaust system is shaped into the rear diffuser, and the left-hand side air intake is enlarged to accommodate the oil cooler. A revised suspension , alaunch control system, and an all-wheel drive system round out the performance modifications. A new 6-speed "E-gear" sequential automatic transmission became available as well. The LP640 wears 335/30 tires on its rear wheels. Interior seating was reshaped to provide greater headroom, and an improved stereo system forms part of the updateddashboard. The U.S. MSRP was set at $318,800.[citation needed] Optional equipment included Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite brakes, chromepaddle shifters and a glass engine cover. The 2008 car’s estimated fuel economy for the 6-speed manual is 8 miles per US gallon (29 L/100 km; 9.6 mpg-imp) city and 13 miles per US gallon (18 L/100 km; 16 mpg-imp) freeway, making it the least efficient 2008 car for city and highway driving, according to the EPA. At the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show, Lamborghini announced that the Murciélago roadster had also been updated to LP640 trim.
Mercedes-Benz SLR 722

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is an Anglo-German supercar jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive, built in Portsmouth and theMcLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey, England. Daimler AG, owner of Mercedes-Benz, also owns 40% of the McLaren Group.
Due to the presence of the automatic gear box, front mid-engined arrangement and its driving characteristics lead some commentators to classify the SLR McLaren as a GT whose rivals can be considered to be vehicles like the Aston Martin DBS V12 and Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. Mercedes decided to drop the SLR due to lack of sales in late 2007.
SLR stands for “Sport, Leicht, Rennsport” (sport, light, racing). Mercedes-Benz has stated that they will build 3500 SLRs in a span of 7 years, with an annual production of 500 cars. The car’s base price is GB£300,000 (approx. US$495,000 or €346,000, c. 2009). However demand was insufficient to meet targeted sales numbers, production came to an end in 2009 as planned.
