Bugatti Veyron used to be the fastest car on earth when it was officially launch before. But in 2007, SSC (Shelby SuperCars) Ultimate Aero snatch the title away from the mighty supercar when they manage to top Bugatti's top speed by 5 kph resulting to a top speed of 412 kph. But the VW company who now owns the Bugatti would not just going to sit back and relax. They have come up with a more powerful version of an already powerful car. They name this new mightier supercar as the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. With this car, they have improve the power output, aerodynamics, looks, weight reduction and many more which has caused the cost to own this car rise up to $2.48 mil excluding the tax. We can say that this a Limited Edition type's of Bugatti Veyron since they will only produce 30 units of these 1200hp, 430kph kind of car. But don't forget to bear in mind that you have to be super rich before you can own 1 of these since the cost for a set of tires which was developed specially by Michelin for this car alone is already more than the price of a new 2010 Nissan 370Z. Now I am going to provide some picture and footage for you to witness the miracle in the automotive industry. Enjoy.

top 10 Most High Revving Road Legal Car.
In order for a car to become a powerful car, they have to squeeze every potential out of their engine. Doesn't matter if it is a big engine or just a small one, we have to get as much efficiency as possible. By doing so, we have to stress the engine to the limit, to the highest "rotation per minute" (rpm) the engine could bear. So here is the list of car that the rotation of the engine could go up to more than 8000 times of rotation every minute.
1. LEXUS LF-A : 9500 RPM
The new Japanese monster which producing 560hp out of it's V10 at 8700 rpm while having 300 more rpm spared before reaching to it's redlining. But even so the redlining is at 9000 rpm, the LF-A actually can rev up to 9500 rpm before the ecu will cut off the fuel supplied to the engine.
2. FERRARI 458 ITALIA : 9000 RPM
The perfect combination between Ferrari and Maserati has produced something magical in the 2009 automotive industry when the Ferrari 458 Italia was first launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The direct fuel injection featured in this 4.5 liter V8 has allow it to rev up to 9000 rpm in just a quick moment and producing 560hp at 9000 rpm.
4. FERRARI F430 : 8500 RPM
This can be considered as the oldest car in this list. But that does not mean that it can't do what the other car in this list can do. Matter fact ranking fourth against the other new comer can be considered as quite an achievement already. This 4.3 liter V8 will produce 483hp at 8500 rpm. What a superb effort.
5. BMW M3 E92 : 8300 RPM
The fourth generation of BMW M3 which turn out to be a really good locking car. The BMW M-Division have done a real impressive job inside and out with this new M3. They have fitted a 4.0 liter V8 engine that capable of revving up to 8300 rpm and making an enormous power output. 414hp to be exact.
6. HONDA S2000 : 8300 RPM
The car with the smallest engine among all. The least powerful car as well. Does not have a mighty V8 or V10 like the others. But it sure can rev up to 8300 rpm and producing 237hp from it's 2.0 liter motor.
7. BMW M5 E60 : 8250 RPM
Who would have thought that BMW will stress their family car this much. Even some of the supercar manufacture nowadays has restricting their engine only up to 8000 rpm. But BMW has take a brave step by allowing their 5 liter V10 engine that will need to carry a minimum weight of 1.8 tons to rev up to 8250 rpm. But like people always believe,"no guts no glory". And since BMW has shown some guts, so glory is theirs. This super saloon come up with a mighty 500hp under it's hood. Pretty impressive.
8. PAGANI ZONDA CLUBSPORT : 8000 RPM
Asking a 6 liter V12 engine to work 8000 times per minute is quite suicidal actually. But that was what that makes Pagani Zonda Clubsport is such a powerful car. Unlike the other Zonda, this one actually producing 739hp under it's hood. A figure that we can't get out of the ordinary 6000 rpm 6 liter V12.
9. AUDI R8 : 8000 RPM
This car is said to be having the same engine as the Gallardo's engine since the merger between those 2 big corporate. But of course Audi now will Tuned the power output up a little. They manage to squeeze 520hp out of this 5.2 liter FSI V10 engine. But for me 520hp still is not enough from a 5.2 liter motor. It should be more really.
10. PORSCHE CARRERA GT : 8000 RPM
The last entry for this segment is the Porsche Carrera GT 5.5 liter V10 that produces 612hp at 8000 rpm. Which make this car can be called as a high revving vehicle.
1. LEXUS LF-A : 9500 RPM
The new Japanese monster which producing 560hp out of it's V10 at 8700 rpm while having 300 more rpm spared before reaching to it's redlining. But even so the redlining is at 9000 rpm, the LF-A actually can rev up to 9500 rpm before the ecu will cut off the fuel supplied to the engine.

The direct fuel injection featured in this 4.5 liter V8 has allow it to rev up to 9000 rpm in just a quick moment and producing 560hp at 9000 rpm.
3. MCLAREN MP4-12C : 8500 RPM
Can anyone tell me who is the driver behind those wheels. It is the first two men ever driving the Mclaren MP3-12C, the 2008 Formula 1 Champion Lewis Hamilton and the 2009 Formula 1 champion Jenson Button. Just look at how happy they are. It is because this 8500 rpm car has just given them the 592hp excitement just at the tip of their feet. The kind of excitement even a 1001hp car at 6000 rpm can't give to them. 4. FERRARI F430 : 8500 RPM
This can be considered as the oldest car in this list. But that does not mean that it can't do what the other car in this list can do. Matter fact ranking fourth against the other new comer can be considered as quite an achievement already. This 4.3 liter V8 will produce 483hp at 8500 rpm. What a superb effort.

Ferrari 458 Italia The New Gallardo Killer.
It's predecessor used to get beaten quite frequently by the Lamborghini LP570-2. But with this new Ferrari, that is not the case anymore. It is build with one purpose, and one purpose only. To make all The Lamborghini's owner looks ridiculous. This car is developed mostly by using all the feedback and knowledge which has been gain in the past couple of years in the F1 industry by Ferrari Scuderia F1 team. The 4.5 liter V8 engine in this car produces a mighty 560hp at 9000rpm. 9000rpm, can you believe that. All the power then will be directed to the Getrag dual cllutch 7-speed Transmission that goes through a paddle shifter. So the result is, 0 to 60 mph only takes only 3.35 seconds and it will keep on going until 202 mph. A perfect device if you are planning to run away from your wife.

Next Japanese Supercar.
It is said that Honda and Acura will responded to the Nissan Skyline GTR and The Lexus LF-A. And the product they come up with is said to be called the 2011 Honda NSX. Of course there is still no official photo and all, but we have got the "spy shot photo" of that car. And god it is so beautiful.
But what we really want to know is whether this high revving 4.5 liter V10 with 450hp under the hood can stack up against the gozilla of Japan automotive which is the Skyline R35, or it is just going to be "just another Japanese supercar". But considering it will be powered by such a mighty V10 but only produces 450hp is not that great of a news since it's Toyota aka Lexus rival can produces up to 560hp with only 0.3 liter differences between the engine capacity. But performance of a car cannot just be based on the engine only although the engine output is the key factor. Let just wait and see what this beautiful looking V10 capable of doing in the near future

BMW X6M Become The New Rival For Mercedes And Porsche.
There's a new rival to the Mercedes Benz ML63 AMG and Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. Based on my previous article, Range Rover Sport Supercharger used to be the challenger. But not anymore. I'm not going to say much. Just let the Clip do all the talking. Enjoy.

Gigantic SUV
The battle between the 3 strongest SUV. The Range Rover Sport Supercharge, The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S and The Mercedes Benz ML63 AMG. What a great match up between these 3 car. We will try to cover as much angle as possible as possible.
It is quite difficult for us to just simply decide who is the winner and who is the loser between these 3 vehicle. They all do have a V8 as their power plant, they all have more than 500hp and carrying over 2 tons of weight. So lets go through the check list 1 by 1.
1) Looks: As for me, I would rather looking at the Merc for the entire of my life rather than to even been seen by other people standing next to the cayenne. The cayenne can be labeled as the most ugly expensive car I think. Range Rover looks quite astonishing for me but it still can't match up with the ML63 looks. Even a 70-year old will look good in this car due to it's superb outfit.
2) Engines: As we all know, all 3 contestants have the same amount of cylinder in their engine. But each and every one of them have different amount of cubic capacity. The Mercedes has the largest engine with its tuned by AMG 6.3 liter engine. But it is the only 1 here that has no power induction. Like the Cayenne is using the turbo system while the Range Rover in the other hand is using the supercharge system. The cayenne only uses a 4.5 liter engine which produce 520hp, 10 more hp than the ML63 AMG. The Range Rover power remain like the Mercedes despite the use of supercharger. Put the 3 of them side by side for a drag race, the Mercedes will finish first in front of the Porsche followed by the Range Rover. But if you are looking for a SUV to go into the wild, Range Rover will be the best package because it has the best Low Range gearbox in the world.
3) Interior: I can't decide which is the better interior between the Merc and the Range Rover. But what I can decide is that I will never want to be inside the Porsche. Just by staring at it alone already can make a pregnant mum starting to puke.
So after all, it is not up for me to decide which is the best or which is the worst. But if i have the buying power, I will go for the Range Rover Sport because it is value for the money.

10 Supercar Should Be Inside Our Garage If We Are A Millionaire
Summer is the best season ever. But too bad it only comes for 4 months every year. In order for us to have an even longer summer, or even better an eternity summer, we have to be the person responsible for the climate change. The perfect way in doing so is by having plenty of supercar in our garage an emit as much CO2 as possible. so here are some list of car that can help us achieving our goal.
1. If supercar is the topic to be discussed about, we cannot simply eliminate the presence of the mighty 16.4 liter W16 1001hp that was developed by the VW. Up until today, this car still hold the record for the top speed, 407 km/h to be precise. Luckily it don't come in the convertible version because i'm afraid we could have lost our head somewhere on the way to our destinations with that kind of speed.
PAGANI ZONDA F
2. The Italian born supercar that was first developed by Juan Manuel Fangio is a great car to continue our global warming with its 7.3 liter V12 Mercedes built engine that produces up to 640 hp. Handling for this Italian is quite great due to its light weight which allow it to round the Nurburgring in just 7.24.7.
FERRARI ENZO
3. The Italian Horse is the name given. It is once said that this car is the most ideal match up for the Pagani Zonda. So if the Zonda can be in the list, why can't this Enzo be in the list too. The Enzo have same amount of cylinder like the Zonda does. But the Enzo engine's is slightly smaller than the Zonda. But don't look down on it because it's 6.0 liter V12 produces 11hp more compare with what produces by the Zonda. But since it weigh more than the Zonda, it only managed to round the 1 second slower.MERCEDES-BENZ SLR MCLAREN
4. Unlike any other that was shown before, this one is front mounted and got an automatic gearbox which for me kind of a disadvantages really. If only it has a Paddle Shifter, this car can be as good as a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti I reckon. But that does not mean the car is slow or anything. It still is fast as hell. The only thing lack by this vehicle is the feel. But that all can be solve when Mercedes produce the limited edition SLR Mclaren 722 edition. The other enormous thing about this car is the 8-pot gigantic ceramic brake that was made by the AMG. All that I know, this brake could even stop the earth from rotating I think.
PORSCHE CARRERA GT
5. Call me old fashion but I always know that the V8, V10 and V12 engine is almost better in any way than the weird Flat Six engine. And this is proven when Porsche decide not to use the Flat engine layout and instead just put a big 5.7 liter V10 engine inside this beautiful looking Carrera GT. The result it came up with 612hp which is a little under the SLR but it had the weight advantage. 240kg lighter than the SLR which for me quite enough to shut all the SLR owners up.
LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO
6. It wouldn't be a list of supercars if we did not mention about this Italian Bull. The big brother to the Gallardo. The 6.2 liter powered engine that consist of 12 cylinders. just by mentioning the engine itself we can already get a picture about what this car can do to the mother earth. Over the year, Lamborghini has made many improvement to this car. The base model just came with 580hp while the latest model even came up with 670hp. Since Lamborghini has announce that the production for the Murcielago will be stop this year, everyone who is following the news of motor industry start to wondering what the successor for this great car will came up to be.
MCLAREN MP4-12C
7. Come to think of it, deriving nearly 600hp from just a 3.8 liter engine can be consider as a huge achievement. But for this all cannot been done without the help from the twin-turbo charged system. The major performance for this new comer however is not the speed actually. But instead its capability to brake from 200 to 0 in just 5 seconds. Isn't that great.
FORD GT40
8. The Americans must be pretty pissed at me if I didn't put their beloved supercharged V8 GT40 inside this list as well. This is the replica of the car which trash Ferrari for 4 consecutive year at Le mans. Going at 200 mph is just like taking a breeze in the park. But you have to be very rich to own one of this because it is really a heavy drinker. Flat out you could empty your tank in just 12 minutes.
LEXUS LF-A
9) If you are someone who have a lot of money, and I mean really a lot of money and you don't know what to get for your son for his 17th birthday, this could be your solution. A Japanese car which will make your son think that he's playing with a video game instead of driving a real car. In fact this is the only Japanese car so far that deserve to be called as a supercar. the project to start build this miracle LF-A has start since 2001 and it took Lexus almost a decade to actually launch it. But when the car was first shown to the public, every knows this car is worth the wait.
CORVETTE Z06
10. Since the title says 10 supercar, I really had to think hard enough before I could came up with this one. I don't really wants to know how fast it can do from 0 to 60 because there are plenty of other car above can do it even faster i believe. But one thing I really like to know about this car is, how long can it do a burnout. Because that is what I think it will be best for. And to tell you the truth, I do think burnout can also help making our world a warmer place. You can't get any better than 7.0 liter V8 to make a mark on the road for you. So that is the reason why I provide the footage below just for everyone to witness the real capability of this American Muscle.
