What a beauty! Yes, it indeed is and this time, it is not a concept. Instead, it is a supercar called the Trident Iceni. After a launch date that didn’t quite take off, this time round, the Iceni is slated for launch on July 15, 2011, at UK’s Cholmondeley Pageant of Power. And that’s not all. In this day and age of rising gas prices, you will be a little relieved to know that the Trident Iceni is a biodiesel car. Iceni derives its name from a Norfolk region (where the car is proposed to commence production) tribe that is now extinct. Read the rest of this entry »

McLaren teased us with their MP4 sportscar 2 years ago & now finally they’ve revealed how much it’ll actually cost to buy one of these beauties.
The first high-performance sportscar went into production a couple days ago at the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC) in Woking, England. McLaren are planning on building 1,000 of the cars in 2011, with most of them made in a bespoke new £40m McLaren Production Centre that is due to be completed in May on a site adjacent to the MTC.
The MP4-12C uses an innovative carbon fiber monocoque chassis tub & has a 600 horsepower 3.8l V-8 engine that is turbocharged, so it takes just 10 seconds to get from zero to 124 mph & 3.5 seconds for 0-60mph, with McLaren chief (Ron Dennis) claiming that it’ll be the ‘fastest car money can buy’.

If you’re a Top Gear fan like I am, you will remember Jeremy Clarkson racing a a motorbike in a very fast little supercar & getting his face almost blown off by racing the same car around the track. Well, that car was the Ariel Atom & Top Gear’s James May has just reviewed the newest model in a similar fashion, by racing it against the fastest road bike in the world, around the Top Gear track. The Top Gear host puts the new Atom through its paces & if you’re like me, your heart will go faster without having even sat in the driver’s seat.
Ariel’s new offering of the Atom features a V8 engine that outputs 500 horsepower. Now, while that may not sound so impressive on its own (in comparison to other supercars) it’s important to note that the Atom only weighs just over 1,200 pounds! That’s about half of what the Bugatti Veyron Supersport weighs, which means that the power to weight ratio is double of the Veyron. In fact, the V8 500 has 900 brake horse power per tonne – the Ferrari Enzo has 434bhp per tonne & the Bugatti Veyron sits at 530bhp per tonne.

Aston Martin are stirring up a lot of excitement about their new hypercar the One-77 by releasing some seriously impressive stats about the car’s performance.
The hypercar produces 750 horsepower & 553 lb-ft of torque from its 7.3-liter V-12 engine. That makes it the most powerful naturally aspirated road car engine in existence!
Of course, the One-77′s impressive stats are equally matched by its luxury & exclusivity: only 77 cars will be produced & apparently one un-named buyer has already ordered 10 out of that 77.
