Power for the Saleen S5S Raptor comes from a 5.0L supercharged V8 running on ethanol producing 650-hp and 630lb-ft of torque. The car is capable of 0-60 in the low 3-second range.
Gumpert’s green electroic-petrol hybrid race cat will be taking part in Green Hell in the next 24-hour Nurburgring race this May. Ex-Formula 1 driver Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Dirk Muller will driving Gumpert’s Hybrid Apollo.
The Hybrid Apollow is powered by a 3.3 liter V8 bi-turbo engine that is mated to a 100 kW electric-motor. Producing a total of 630-hp, the Hybrid Apollo Concept will be taking on the Porsche 911 GT3, Dodge Viper Lamborghini Gallardo, BMW Z4 and Chevrolet Corvette.
Before tuner HPA Motorsports got its hands on this 2008 Audi TT, the car started its journey in Germany to be painted in custom Lamborghini Gallardo orange. Later the car was shipped to HPA Motosports who built the TT from the ground up.
Originally the 2008 Audi TT 3.2L V6 produces a total of 250-hp. But with HPA’s twin-turbo modification, along with a cast-aluminum short-runner intake manifold, dual air-to-air side-mount intercoolers, proprietary silicone boost plumbing and a high-flow fuel-supply system, this orange TT now produces an outstanding 565-hp. The result? 0-60mph comes in at 3.5 seconds while the 0-100mph takes just 8.4 seconds. Transferring the power to the wheels via the S-tronic transmission required some work as well. HPA threw in performance clutch packs and a reprogrammed mechatronic which increased launch control revs from 3000rpm to 5000.
All this will cost you about $60,000 in upgrades. However you can now take on that Nissan GT-R without any hesitation.
Not to say that the 512-hp that comes with the Z06 isn’t anything special Geigercars has managed to extract a total of 592-hp from the 7.0 liter V8.
The body has been all blacked-out including 18 or 19 inch black wheels. We believe this should of been the new Knight Rider KITT. At least they would’ve kept it under the GM umbrella rather than moving to Ford.
The Tesla Roadster is a fully electric sports car, and is the first car produced by electric car firm Tesla Motors. The car can travel 225 mi on a single 3.5 hour charge of its lithium-ion battery pack and accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. The Roadster's efficiency is reported as 133 W·h/km (4.7 mi/kW·h), equivalent to 135 mpg–U.S. (1.74 L/100 km / 162.1 mpg–imp).
Costs around 100k but is much faster than cars way more expensive. I wouldn't care what gas prices were if I had this thing. I never drive more than 200 miles in a day. When I got home I could just plug it in and it would be ready in the morning. Also been looking into some new engines that drive electrical generators using magnets that never need fuel. My electricity and gas bills are now non-existent.
