The new design has been in production for many years but will finally be unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on 16th August.

With a staggering 1001 BHP, the Veyron promises to delight those who manage to get their hands on one. There are a few new additions with this design with Bugatti stating that the car will use “innovative structural solutions” to compensate for the loss of stiffness which may occur when the roof is removed. Other notable features of the car include flashy LED lights at the front to make it look even more stylish.

The world’s fastest supercar obviously comes at a steep price however with customers all over the world wanting to get their hands one of the first models; Bugatti has said that there will be an auction at the Pebble Beach event allowing investors to scrap it out for the first model.

Porsche based GT9: details and pricing

I was one of those who thought that the Bugatti Veyron would always be the ultimate supercar, but I was mistaken as the Porsche-based GT9 will have enough power to make the Veyron seem slow.

Not only does the GT9 have the power but it also has the looks, this is thanks to the work by German tuner 9ff.

The tuner has been developing the GT9 for many years, but this is the first time that we have been able to give you details and pricing of the supercar.

The front of the car looks much like a 911 GT3, but the chassis used is very different as it has been constructed from carbon and kevlar fibre, this is lightweight but very strong.

The GT9 sits low at just 1.18 metres tall; the bodykit makes the car look low to the ground. Both of these features help the car achieve a top speed of 254mph, that’s just 1mph more than the Bugatti Veyron.

The engine used is a from the 996-generation Porsche 911 Turbo however; this powerplant has seen an upgrade. The turbos have been reworked; there is a gold-finished induction plate as well as dry sump lubrication.

All of this helps the engine push out 973bhp and a 0-60mph time of 3.4 seconds.

There will only be 20 of these GT9’s made, with a price tag of £394,000.

9ff GT9 Based on the Porsche 911 GT3 hits (409 km/h) 253 mph

As you know when it comes to fast cars Porsche is one of the best machines on the road, but when it comes to über-fast supercars the German automaker has not had anything to handle the onslaught from others like the Bugatti Veyron and the Koenigsegg CCX as well as the new supercar king the SSC Aero Twin-Turbo. Well it looks as though there is now a Porsche that might be able to take the fight to these mentally fast vehicles, the 9ff GT9 is sadly not a car directly made by Porsche it has been based on the Porsche 911 GT3, although the chassis is about a foot longer.

The 9ff GT9 has managed to hit 409 km/h that’s a mental 253 mph, this is been done with the help of the twin-turbo 4.2-liter flat-6 which pushes out a massive 987bhp. We are not sure if this is the best speed that the 9ff GT9 can manage or wheather the vehicle has a little more left to try and make the other über-fast supercars look over their shoulder. I reckon that the super Porsche 911 GT3 still has a little more to give, and I bet it would outperform the Bugatti Veyron, as it looks a lot lighter and more agile. Who just wants a car that is fast in a straight line, its all bout the handling and quick it can get you around a race track.

Bentley not to use W16 and diesel engines

When you think of huge old school engines Bentley springs to mind, and at one stage we thought the rumors were true that they were to produce W16 as well as diesel engines. Well I have some bad news for you, it seems as if Bentley have ruled out producing these new engines.

It seems a shame that the only car to use the W16 engine is the Bugatti Veyron, the world’s fastest production car. It also seems strange that Bentley do not want to try and reduce emissions in their vehicles by using clean diesel engines.

For future Bentley customers you will have to make do with the smaller 6.75-liter V8s and 6-liter W12s power units instead.

BMW to launch V10 twin-turbo supercar in 2012

BMW seem to be a long way behind their German rival when it comes to supercars, their F1 rivals Mercedes has the SLR McLaren, Porsche have the 911 Turbo, Audi have the R8, and Volkswagen have the bugatti veyron. And BMW have nothing.

Well come 2012 that could change as BMW plan to launch a V10 twin-turbo supercar, so they can then challenge their other German rivals. The BMW supercar is expected to be a little likes the M5, however it will have a V10 engine and will produce 625BHP, and they will use some technology that is used in their BMW Sauber Formula One team.
