Saleen S7 sports
The Saleen S7 sports a 7-liter (7008 cc/427.6 cu in), naturally-aspirated, all-aluminum OHV from V8 engine to a V16 engine, mounted at 90° approximately in the middle of the chassis for a balanced mid-engine layout delivering power to the rear wheels while keeping the center of gravity towards the middle of the car, improving overall performance. Each cylinder is lubricated via a dry sump system, has two stainless steel valves per cylinder, a compression ratio of 10.0:1, and a bore and stroke of 4.125 and 4.00 inches (104.9 and 101.6 mm), respectively. It generates a maximum power of 550 horsepower to 610 horsepower(558 PS/410 kW) at 6400 rpm and a maximum torque of 525 foot-pounds (712 N·m) at 4000 rpm. The redline rpm is indicated at 6500 rpm. 
The S7 can accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in an estimated 3.4 seconds, and to 100 miles per hour in an estimated 8.1 seconds. It can complete a standing quarter mile in an estimated 11.75 seconds, reaching 126 miles per hour (203 km/h). The maximum speed of the car is above 200 miles per hour (322 km/h).

"When you hear customers talking about wanting more power, what they really mean is that they want more torque. It's torque that gets you going, whether launching from a standstill, or accelerating out of a corner. At 85, last year's Z06 was already in an elite class. For 2002, we've upped the ante with another 15 pounds-feet of torque, for a total of 400 pounds-feet at 4,800 rpm. The result is one that must be experienced to be appreciated," 
The Z06's are outfitted with the unique six-speed manual transmissions. It will enable skilled drivers to achieve 0-60 mph times of 3.9 seconds and to cover a quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at 116 mph. By comparison, the 2001 power-train combination achieved 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.6 seconds at 114 mph. "We realize that the Z06 is not for everyone. But, for the extreme performance enthusiasts, the race-bred Z06 provides them with a vehicle that challenges the threshold of performance and handling, with absolutely no compromises."

2008 Tesla - All Electric Car
2008 Tesla - All Electric Car
2008 All Electric Tesla Roadster - The Tesla Roadster is not your normal car. While it may appear a little complicated at first glance it really is a simple machine. And on the other hand, it is like nothing else that you probably have driven before. Even though it appears to resemble a Lotus, it is a great little car all on its own, something quite unique indeed. I think that the first thing that one notices with the Tesla is that it is a very sleek and fast looking car, unlike most other electric vehicles. It is a little larger and wider then a Lotus Elise. This vehicle definitely looks adult, and not go kart looking at all, it also feels more like a real car then one would think that an electric car would.
Driving the Tesla All Electric vehicle will put a huge grin on your face, and to know that you are making the world a better place at the same time you are driving is something that can't be beat.

2009 ZR1 is OUT
2009 ZR1 is OUT ! This is it. The speculation, rumors and half-truths can now be set aside -- this is the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, officially revealed for all the world to see. Powered by a supercharged LS9 6.2L small-block engine, the ZR1 hasn't even received an official horsepower number from the engineers toiling away at the General. All Harlan Charles, project manager for the Corvette team was able to tell us last week was the new high-powered 'Vette engine is "capable of producing at least 100 horsepower per liter. That's at least 620 horsepower, and approximately 595 lb.-ft. of torque." Chevrolet wasn't even able to give us a time on the 0-60. Charles was only willing to say "it's in the low three seconds." The small-block engine under the hood is only able to hit those massive numbers due to the addition of the positive-displacement Roots-type supercharger with a new, four-lobe rotor design plus an integrated charge cooling system that reduces inlet air temperature for increased performance. That's the "go" end, but the "whoa" end is just as impressive. The ZR1 gets some simply huge carbon-ceramic, drilled disc brake rotors. They're so big and are required to be so powerful they're using the same 15-inch-diameter discs found on the front of a Ferrari 599. Except on the ZR1, they go on the 20" tires in the rear. In the front, they'll be getting even larger 15.5-inch-diameter rotors, simply breathtaking to see up-close. This new Corvette used to be called the "Blue Devil", Z07, and a few other names while in the preparation stages before being announced as the ZR1 to the public. 
The ZR1's basic stats:* All-new LS9 supercharged 6.2L V-8 targeted at producing at least 100 horsepower per liter, or 620 horsepower (462 kW), and approximately 595 lb.-ft. of torque (823 Nm)* Six-speed, close-ratio, race-hardened manual transmission* New, high-capacity dual-disc clutch* Higher-capacity and specific-diameter axle half-shafts; enhanced torque tube* Specific suspension tuning provides more than 1g cornering grip* Twenty-spoke 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels* Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires - P285/30ZR19 in front and P335/25ZR20 in the rear - developed specifically for the ZR1* Standard carbon-ceramic, drilled disc brake rotors - 15.5-inch-diameter (394-mm) in the front and 15-inch-diameter (380-mm) in the rear* Larger brake calipers with substantially increased pad area* Standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control with track-level suspension* Wider, carbon-fiber front fenders with ZR1-specific dual vents* Carbon-fiber hood with a raised, polycarbonate window - offering a view of the intercooler below it* Carbon-fiber roof panel, roof bow, front fascia splitter and rocker moldings with clear-coated, exposed carbon-fiber weave* ZR1-specific full-width rear spoiler with raised outboard sections* Specific gauge cluster with boost gauge (also displayed on the head-up display) and 220-mph (370 km/h) speedometer readout* Only two options: chrome wheels and a "luxury" package* Curb weight of approximately 3,350 pounds (1,519 kg)The specialized components of the new ZR1 work harmoniously to deliver the most powerful and fastest automobile ever produced by General Motors. Performance estimates will be announced closer to vehicle's summer 2008 launch."Preliminary testing shows the ZR1 builds on the highly respected Corvette Z06 in every performance category, from acceleration and braking, to cornering grip and top speed," said Peper. "It all boils down to the power-to-weight ratio and the ZR1's is exceptional - better than the Porsche 911 GT2, the Ferrari 599 and even the Lamborghini LP640. In fact, the ZR1 is expected to be the first production Corvette to achieve a top speed of at least 200 mph."
"The 2009 ZR1 is a total performance package!"

Flipper's Funny Friend
The Innespace Sea Breacher is designed to jump, dive, roll and rocket across water at upwards of 30 m.p.h. on a 175-h.p. rotary engine. The two-seat, 16-ft.-long underwater vehicle uses the canopy of a retired F-22 Raptor. It's Innespace's second effort (a one-seater debuted last year) modeled after the Noland 1, the original dolphin-like submersible built by Tom Rowe in 1992. Joystick controllers work the mechanical fins, and foot pedals operate the tail. Extra-large windows treat passengers to a panoramic view.
Easy Rider
Here's a secret: you don't really need funky alternative fuels or an electric motor to trim your energy consumption on the road. Sometimes all it takes is a little ingenuity. A team of Canadian engineering students won the annual Supermileage race in Michigan with its 80-lb. carbon-fiber Mark V, which can travel 3,145 miles on a single gallon of gas. That's thanks to details like a curved underbody, an ultra-fuel-efficient 54-cc engine and a driver who understands why the turtle beat the hare. The catch? You have to drive lying down, and the windows don't open.Inventor: University of British Columbia Supermileage TeamAvailability: Prototype only
Witty Wheels
Across between a chopper, a compact and a UFO, the low-emission Clever car runs on compressed natural gas stored in two cylinders behind the passenger's seat and gets a dizzying 108 m.p.g. The three-wheeled, aluminum-framed Clever turns like a dream thanks to computer-controlled cornering and hydraulics. And even though its engine is good for the earth, this two-seater has plenty of pep; it can cruise at speeds up to 80 m.p.h.Inventors: BMW, the University of Bath and several other European institutions

What goes from zero to 60 in 4 sec., tops out at more than 130 m.p.h. and appears to be missing a gas tank? The Tesla Roadster 100. It's pure California: a hot sports car that doubles as a statement against pollution and oil dependence. Its massive lithium-ion-battery array can power it for up to 250 miles of highway travel, and even though it will fatten your electricity bill, the Roadster is still twice as efficient as a Toyota Prius.
World’s Fastest Car
World’s fastest production car looks and feels even better than the James Bond vehicles. It can run four times the legal speed limit of most of the countries in the world and amazingly reach 100Km/h just in 2.5 seconds. Introduced as the best sports car in the world, Bugatti Veyron is the first production of the Bugatti company since it used to produce exotic French cars in the 1920’s and failed by the 1950’s and became part of the Volkswagen group. In a way, this could be the best revival for any badge, to introduce the fastest and the most powerful car on earth. 
Bugatti Veyron has a top speed limit of mid blowing 407 Km/h, which puts it ahead the fastest cars so far, like, Ferrari Enzo, Porche Carrera GT and Mercedes Mc Laren SLR Supercar.
Bugatti Veyron is labeled as Bugatti Veyron 16.4, the reason being; believe it or not, its 16 cylinder engine and all-wheel drive system. The car has four turbochargers and produces 736kW with a neck twisting 1250 Nm of torque from as little as 2200 reves. Built only with left-hand drive, it has a seven-speed double-clutch sequential manual gear-box. It is built with special high speed tyres and carbon ceramic brakes. The car has three suspension settings to maximize cornering grip at regular road speeds and run at more than 375Km/h. It can reach this status by pulling back its adjustable wings in to the body to minimize drag and the car is then lowered closer to the ground. Just as in a James Bond movie or in a science fiction. It has all the luxury, starting from the twin leather seats, CD sounds and what not. Most of all, Bugatti Veyron 16.4 can stop faster than it goes, from 400 km/h in just 450m. Only a few people has been allowed to test drive the car so far and the company plans to make 300 cars. Without extra costs and taxes, it is estimated to be over $ 1.4 million. Although there is an English concept car in production trying to beat Bugatti’s record as the current fastest car, the car yet has not hit the road. Therefore, Bugatti Veyron still remains the ultimate Speed machine that mesmerises billions of sports fans around the world.

The Fastest Drivers, Teams
When you think Forza Motorsport 2, what's one of the first things that comes to mind? Many people will immediately point out the amazing customization that players are doing to their virtual rides. Others may mention the diverse range of people who play the game on a regular basis. Or perhaps, given the nature of the beast, Forza 2 is really about the scoreboards, which record the fastest racers per class and track. Well, for a sizeable group of Forza-obsessives, the game is really just a platform upon which they record their speed-devil feats. These are the hotlappers who hone their craft with steady thumbs and feet each day and, obsessed with scoreboard rankings, are determined to make the top of the elite online list, fighting for every last tenths of a second, all in the spirit of a clean competition.
These hotlappers are a hardcore group of dedicated drivers and tuners who will not settle for anything less than their absolute best. Whether they are working on their online Time Trial and Hot Lap stats, dominating the competition over Xbox LIVE, participating in our Weekly Hotlap Challenge, tweaking their custom rides or racing in tournaments, these players will stop at nothing to reach the top… and stay there. As you can imagine when these kinds of people are thrown into the ring the results can be pretty amazing, and at times, nearly impossible to equal.
Over the past year the racing and hotlapping community has shown us just how competitive they really are, setting amazingly fast lap times and breaking records that are easily out of reach of the casual player. These hotlappers thrive off of each other’s abilities, and when someone steps on their turf they are very quick to reclaim the throne. These are the kinds of drivers that can set amazingly fast laps, on any track with any car, without hesitation. In fact certain drivers are often considered to be in a class of their own, the “Elites of Forza”, a term coined by the very community from which they came. They are undeniably some of the fastest and most consistent players in the world, and thanks to our scoreboards they have the numbers and stats to back it all up.
Let’s take iPicaso aka. Kjmj Raikkonen for example. Known as one of the fastest racers in the world, iPicaso did not disappoint during the launch of Turn 10’s official Hotlap Challenge. For 4 week’s straight iPicaso set the number one time on our custom leaderboard, easily surpassing the other 4000+ players who submitted their fastest lap. In fact it was only until a 1 Million credit bounty was put on the top spot that this winning streak came to an end, and it just goes to show you that iPicaso is indeed one of the best.
In similar fashion, V12 BackONEAbS carried his former team the Italian Pro Racers to victory in our first ever Hotlap Season, after what is undoubtedly one of the best performances of the year. Considering the fact that nearly every racing team in the Forza 2 community was eagerly anticipating the first ever Hotlap Season, it was remarkable to see BackONE’s gamertag at the top of the list for 5 consecutive weeks! Throw in the fact that BackONE is also ranked number 1 on our Time Trial scoreboard, and you have yourself enough evidence to support claims that V12 BackONEAbS is also one of the fastest racers in the game.
Much like BackONE carried his team to victory in our challenge, R2P KimiMatt put forth an amazing effort while representing Racing to Perfection in Season 2 of our Hotlap Challenge. Finishing the season with the fastest time 3 out of 5 weeks, KimiMatt secured enough points along with him teammates to take down the defending champs IPR. He is also ranked at number 2 on our overall Time Trial roll-up, and is easy to spot on the B, C and D class scoreboards…just look near the top.
This speed from Racing to Perfection definitely doesn’t dead end with KimiMatt however, as teammate R2P CoNCepT has dominated multiple tournaments this year hosted by the IFCA. Such a high level of skill is shown during all IFCA events, and walking away with victories in multiple events is no easy task. If that wasn’t enough, he is also currently ranked 1st on the overall Hotlap roll-up scoreboard. The overall time for every class on every track is combined to create this total, and CoNCepT currently holds the fastest overall time, quite the achievement.
Fellow teammates R2P Chemical and R2P Greeksniper complete the R2P dream time, and have both had solid representation on our FM2 scoreboards. Chemical is currently sitting in the 4th position on our overall Hotlap scoreboard; just one position behind teammate Greeksniper, who was recently ranked as the fastest driver in the world by the IFCA. All in all you could say that Racing to Perfection is one of the fastest Forza 2 teams on the planet, a team that has the ability to take on the best of the best.

If that wasn’t enough, he is also currently ranked 1st on the overall Hotlap roll-up scoreboard. The overall time for every class on every track is combined to create this total, and CoNCepT currently holds the fastest overall time, quite the achievement.
Fellow teammates R2P Chemical and R2P Greeksniper complete the R2P dream time, and have both had solid representation on our FM2 scoreboards. Chemical is currently sitting in the 4th position on our overall Hotlap scoreboard; just one position behind teammate Greeksniper, who was recently ranked as the fastest driver in the world by the IFCA. All in all you could say that Racing to Perfection is one of the fastest Forza 2 teams on the planet, a team that has the ability to take on the best of the best.
Now of course R2P are not the only ones showing amazing speed, as teams like TRC, VVV and SqR have had a strong presence over the past year. Of course V12’s amazing performance in season 3 of our Hotlap Challenge has proven their abilities in comparison to the rest of the field as well. With members like Nikrox (Master of R Class) and Ermy (10th overall in Time Trials) combined with BackONE’s dominating abilities, V12 is looking like the team to beat from here on out.
So the question is--who will step up to the challenge? It could be VVV Daveyskills, who’s last ditch effort allowed him to jump from 6th to 2nd in Season 2 of our Hotlap Challenge. Perhaps it will be the mysterious xxD4RK SP33Dxx who suddenly appeared at 3rd place on our Time Trial leaderboard. Maybe past legends like General E Live, X Cam X, or PotzyPLOP will make a return to the scoreboards? The outcome is unclear; however with so many fast drivers lurking within our community one thing is very clear…racing and hotlapping in Forza Motorsport 2 will only get more competitive as time goes on.

Sports Cars
Lamborghini Gallardo specsTop Speed: 191 mph / 309 km/h
0-60 mph: 4.1 seconds
0-100 mph: 9.2 seconds
0 - 1/4 Mile: 12.4 sec @ 118 mph
Engine: V10 DOHC 4 valve 5-liter
Italian cars have always been on the wish list of every sports car lover, especially the Lamborghini. Of all Lamborghini supercar models, Lamborghini Gallardo holds a very special place and deserves a very special mention. It is an entry-level sports car from Lamborghini and its success is so big that it remains the most-produced Lamborghini car of the company to date. Ever since its introduction to the market, over 5000 supercars have been built which is an unparalleled achievement in the history of Lamborghini. It is considered a competitor to Ferrari 360 and Ferrari F430. The Gallardo sports car is named after a popular breed of fighting bull, which fits it perfectly. When the project of Gallardo was about to get started, it was conceptualized to be a sports car which could be also used for everyday uses. Looking at its details, we will have to say that they have succeeded in doing that.
The supercar is amazing to look at with a stylish aluminum space frame. It has a mid-rear mounted engine and the gearbox is placed behind the engine. The Gallardo sports car has a permanent four wheel driving system with low center gravity which makes for a great drive. It has two mounted water radiators in the front and a one sided mounted oil cooler and an independent double wishbone suspension which aptly fits the system. As per the rich tradition of Lamborghini sports cars, a whole lot of attention has gone into the weight distribution system of the car. 42% of the weight is distributed to the front and 58% of the weight is distributed to the rear end. This weight system is said to be the perfect one for a sports car, in order to achieve the best possible traction and for easy braking and handling. It is a compact car, just about 167 inches in length and has been packaged well. In fact, it is considered one of the best two-seater high performance cars in the segment.
Ferrari F430 specs
Top Speed: 196 mph / 315 kph
0-60 mph: 4 seconds
Engine: DOHC 5 / cylinder 4.3 liter V-8
Ferrari F430 supercar is a successor to the older (and slightly overrated) sports car 360 Modena. It features an all-new engine that does not share any components with the 360 Modena’s engine. F430's 90-degree engine design derived directly from designs used in the Ferrari's Formula 1 engines. In fact, car name F430 came from its 4308 cc mid-engine which can produce 490 hp (an astonishing 114 hp per liter).F430 supercar comes in two versions: a Coupe and an open top Spider, the latter being approx. $20,000 more expensive.
