Hasta La Gadget!

Have plenty of money but do not quite know just where and how you are going to spend it? Flashy cars might be a good idea to splash your hard earned money, and there are so many different brands that one can choose from. Here is a relative newcomer to the scene – Felino Corp.’s cB7 which will feature a powerful 6.2-liter V8 underneath the hood, where it comes with an aggressive style that packs some serious muscle which should allow you to burn rubber in a jiffy.

Jaguars look great and it’s nice to know that they can go very fast as well. This new XKR was made to celebrate Jaguar’s ‘R’ division 25th anniversary. The resulting car is track-focused, but street-legal. It will not only blow your socks off, but your face as well.

The Jaguar XKR-S GT‘s maximum speed is limited to 186 mph. It will go from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds. It comes with carbon-ceramic brakes, a six-speed automatic gearbox, with electronically-controlled slip active differential. The engine is a supercharged 542 hp 5.0 liter V8.

Ahhh. Just listen to that sound. Only 30 Jaguar XKR-S GTs will be made available in North America, and you’ll have to fork over $174,000(USD) to get yours. Jaguar has said that if there’s enough demand, production could be ramped up to 50.

It’s taken McLaren almost 15 years, but they’re about to finally release the F1′s successor, the P1. Like a few of the new supercars, it will feature a petrol engine mated with an electric motor to boost its power to even more. The maximum power output of the P1 is 903 HP!

The McLaren P1 is a hybrid supercar, with rear-wheel drive, and a mid-engine design which is combined with lots of carbon fiber to make it as light as possible. It comes with a 3.8 liter twin-turbocharged V8 tuned to 727hp. This engine is combined with a KERS electric motor producing an extra 176 horses. You can use it just with the petrol engine, with both, or just with the electric engine. Granted, you’ll only be able to drive 12 miles, but hey, it’s the thought that counts!

It was revealed that McLaren will produce just 375 P1s, each one costing $1.44 million (USD). In May 2013, McLaren announced that it had already sold 250 units, so you’d better hurry up if you want one. Production started in July, with the first cars to be delivered on August 22nd.

Lightweight carbon fiber is a must on any so-called “hypercar,” but what about a car that was named after the element carbon itself? How does it stack up against the rarefied competition? You needn’t worry, because it will probably smoke any other car away, thanks to its awesome power-to-weight ratio.

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento’s name simply means “sixth element” in Italian, and it’s a two-door, two-seater, lightweight limitededition hypercar. Naturally, it makes extensive use of carbon fiber. Its chassis, body, drive shaft, and suspension are made out of the durable, lightweight stuff. The whole car weighs an astonishingly light 999kg (2,200 lbs), which is comparable to a subcompact car like the Honda Fit.

The car has an all-wheel-drive system, which is mated to a 5.2L V10 engine generating 578 HP. The six-speed, semi-automatic transmission comes with paddle shifters, of course.

All of this engineering helps the Sesto Elemento go from 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds. Holy speed demons, Batman, better hold onto your shorts!

While we like our collector’s edition games, there’s no question that even the better bundles are full of knick-knacks we’ll use just once or twice. No one will say the same for Codemaster’s GRID 2: Mono Edition, though. The UK-only bundle includes the GRID 2 racing game, a PS3 to play it on… and a very real BAC Mono supercar. Whoever buys the £125,000 ($188,700) kit will get to both pick up the 280HP single-seater as well as customize it at the BAC factory, including the racing suit for those inevitable track days. With just one instance available for GRID 2‘s May 31st release, the Mono Edition bundle is more of a promotional stunt than a business strategy — but it might be the only special edition where the extras are more exciting than the game itself.
