The tuners from AMS Performance have put together the ultimate package so far for the Nissan GT-R called the Alpha 9. Coming close to many of the Bugatti Veyron’s world records, the new GT-R kit catapults the stock 530 horsepower to an amazing 800 crank hp with a few major upgrades. These include new billet wheel ball bearing turbos, new turbo inlet pipes, a larger front mount intercooler, 90 mm exhaust system, custom calibrated MAF sensors, and new ECU tuning to keep everything running smooth. The Nissan GT-R is now able to run the 1/4 mile in 9.95 seconds seconds at 141 mph, which set a new pump gas R35 GTR quarter mile record. Pricing for this package starts at $21,999 USD, however we are sure they will continue to improve it to eventually push close to 1,000 horsepower, and beat all the current Bugatti records at a fraction of the cost.
Over a year ago BMW announced the concept of the Vision EfficientDyanmics hybrid car, and have now confirmed the production and official name to be the BMW i8. Planned for a 2013 launch, the “i” comes from BMW’s Project i, while the 8 probably refers to the classic BMW sports car 850ci. The sales and marketing director at BMW, Ian Roberson said the new supercar will “redefine the looks of modern supercars”. It was also stated that the price for the BMW i8 will be around $200,000 USD, which is much less than the direct competitor Mercedes SLS E-Cell. Stay tuned for future announcements from BMW regarding their hybrid technology and supercar plans.
We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, for those who celebrated, and now we have a new Secret Entourage car babe showing off on a Dodge Viper. Typically the car of choice is a Porsche, Ferrari, or Lamborghini, however this beauty named Stacey decided to stick with the American muscle car Dodge Viper, which has seen a cease in production. A Viper successor has been announced, although not confirmed yet, however I doubt most will be checking out the car. Since everyone asks about her ethnicity, this hot car girl is a mix of Caribbean, Indian, and South American. She has always dreamed of owning a luxurious, fast and furious car, and loves to attend car shows to check out the modified cars.
Up for sale at Pistonheads is the Bugatti EB 110 GT, and it was the last car built out of the 95 total ever made. It’s an American car being sold with Canepa designs and located in California. The custom build included a special formula black metallic paint finish, and a full tan leather interior with navy accents. Completed in 1995, this Bugatti EB 110 GT only has 939 miles and kept its showroom finish. Back in the good ol’ days, what made these rare Bugatti sports car so unique was the quad-turbocharged 3.5-liter V12 engine producing 550 bhp. At the track they were able to accomplish 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, with an overall top speed of 344 km/h.
