Video: Ultima GTR sets new 0-100-0mph record (#)

„What do you think a 10,000 hp nitrous-burning funny car with 8pot calipers might be able to do 0-100-0? If the car isn't street legal (and with this 720HP motor, it ain't), then there's really no rules and the funny car is a perfectly valid contender. If it must be street registered, then the HP will drop about 150 horses and the Ultima will fall several places on the list. Someone mentioned the Shelby Cobra doing this in 13secs back in the 60's.“

„For your $1.275 million, buyers will not only get exclusive bodywork for their Enzo derivative, but many mechanical upgrades including a horsepower bump from 600 in the standard MC12 to 755. Many will make comparisons to the Bugatti Veyron because of price and performance, but the Veyron is obviously a street legal car with an emphasis on luxury, albeit, very fast luxury. Although the Bug has that wicked 1,001 hp quad-turbo W16, it also has a lot more weight to push around ...“

2009 Dodge Challenger - Popular Mechanics (#)

„The best thing for the big three to do is stop screwing with the designs that were golden back in the day and just update everything else to give the advantage of new technology. Nobody ever complained that the muscle cars were ugly, like everyone does for the new "Charger." They say they need better gas mileage and better street manners in all conditions. That would guarantee big sales of whatever name they brought back and the market would take off just like the 60's.“

Audi R8: Exclusive Track Test with Video - Popular Mechanics (#)

„LAS VEGAS — Sports cars come alive on racetracks. Yes, you certainly could push the performance envelop of a sporty car on the street, but it’s much safer and much more fun to take it to the track. Audi obviously agrees: For the international press launch of the all-new, mid-engined R8 sports car , the German company booked some time for us on a special handling course here at Las Vegas Motor Speedway ...“

2000-2004 Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge Stradale - Road Test & Review - Automobile Magazine (#)

„Instead, the impulse for its creation was primarily mercenary. Ten to fifteen percent of all 360 Modena owners already use their cars for track events, so there was a ready market for a street machine with competition credentials. Convinced that there were buyers who were willing to pay through the nose for a unique mix of performance, practicality, and exclusivity, Ferrari went for the full Extreme Makeover treatment.“

1997-2005 Porsche Boxster S Anniversary Edition - Used Car Review - Automobile Magazine (#)

„Sitting at a downtown Ann Arbor intersection, I overhear someone on the sidewalk saying, "Nice car!" On North Main Street, a middle-aged couple in a Grand Prix pulls alongside and paces me for a hundred yards while looking it over. From the cockpit of the Boxster S, a Grand Prix looks like a whale; harpoons should be optional. (Now that's a special-equipment package!)“

The ultimate kei? Mitsubishi i Hello Kitty "Princess Kitty" edition - Autoblog (#)

„Most of these Hello Kitty parts are probably available on the Japanese aftermarket, so anyone who really wants to duplicate this...could. And yes, it was not all that unusual to see a red car on the street with pink hubcaps and other pink "accents". Sort of the Japanese female's equivalent of those tacky "Gold Packages" that you still see on some cars.“
