The 2000 BMW Z8, the fastest BMW?

bmw, bmw car, bmw auto

Not counting concept cars like the Nazca, the 2000 BMW Z8 may be the fastest BMW ever produced.
Powered by a 4941 cc(4.9 L)V-8 engine producing 394 bhp, this BMW could cover the quarter mile in 12.6 sec at 112 mph.
It's zero to 60 was 4.2 seconds, and going into hyper drive, it could run 0 to 100 in 10.2 seconds.
The top speed is listed at 155 mph, but I'm guessing it's a tad higher, barring any electronic governors.
The price for blasting around the country side at warp speed?
Around $128,000.
That, of course, is not counting how high your automobile insurance would go up!
The car was featured in the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough in 1999.

Jaguar XKR S, The World's Fastest Jaguar?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I know I've done a lot of Jaguars on here, but this is the Superman of Jags.
The Jaguar XKR S is powered by a 4.2 litre all aluminium four cam supercharged V8 engine that delivers around 420 horsepower.
That makes this cat run 60 in 5.2 seconds and gives it a top speed (electronically governed) of 174 mph.
That would make it the fastest Jaguar since the XJ220 supercar.
Unfortunately, The Jaguar XKR-S will be limited to only 200 cars in Europe.
But that's okay, it's retail is around £80,000.
No idea what that is in US dollars.

Toyota FJ Cruiser


The FJ Cruiser is a sport-utility vehicle from Toyota that draws on the styling and heritage of the Toyota FJ40 4X4 utility vehicle that was sold in the U.S. from 1960 through 1983. The FJ40 was a popular vehicle for safaris and off-road expeditions and is a collector vehicle today. The FJ Cruiser is a modern vehicle with a bold unique style, yet the FJ40 heritage is reflected in design elements such as the five-inch round headlights tied together by the grille, hood and fender contours, and the rear-mounted exposed spare tire with an off-center license-plate mount. The most noticeable features are the white roof cap and wrap-around rear side windows that were signature elements of the FJ40. The FJ Cruiser has two main forward-hinged doors and two smaller rear-hinged access doors that open to 90 degrees for rear-seat access.


The 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser adds active front head restraints and roll-sensing side curtain airbags. An optional backup camera and auto-dimming electrochromatic mirror are added to the Convenience Package. Three new exterior colors are offered: Black, Silver Fresco Metallic and Iceberg with all-white monochromatic trim.

Bugatti Veyron


The famous sports car manufacturer, Bugatti Automobiles SAS, a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, owns the prestigious title for manufacturing the super performer of the world. The name ´Veyron´ is attributed to the French racing driver Pierre Veyron who won the title ´24 hours of Le Mans´ in 1939 for Bugatti. Bugatti, with its long years of experience in making the traditional racing cars since the early ´90s, tries the track in the modern era with a well-advanced version of their technology applied in the Veyron 16.4.Bugatti Veyron is an exclusive sports car for the 21st century. It exemplifies the perfect blending of design with technological concept.

In this new section we will see about extreme machines ever developed by human being.
As of now this cars may be for our eyes only due to their hefty price tag (please look at the price after completing the post), but these extreme machines are considered as Ideal ones and helps in designing next generation cars. This kind of machines pricks the mind of the manufacturers to produce incredible machines. Here is one such extreme machine called Bugatti Veyron 16.4 – the fastest, most powerful, most expensive production car in the history of the automotive industry.
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has the luxury of a Rolls-Royce, the performance of a Formula One car, and the drivability of a Honda. It’s a combination that leaves the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, the Ferrari Enzo, and other wannabes in the dust


Its 8.0-liter 16-cylinder engine has four turbochargers and produces 740 kilowatts (1001 metric horsepower, or 987 hp). And you want torque? How does 1250 newton-meters sound? The car reaches 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds from a standing start, and 300 km/h in 16.7 seconds. It has a top speed of 408 km/h..





The structure is made of carbon fiber and aluminum. The brakes are carbon ceramic, and the exhaust system is titanium. There are 10 radiators to dissipate the engine’s heat. To keep the car on the ground when its winglike shape develops lift at high speeds, there are front and rear air diffusers and a massive rear spoiler that deploys electronically to generate a drag force of 0.6 times the force of gravity. Ride height varies with speed from 125 to 66 mm.



To go beyond 375 km/h (233 mph), the driver must stop the car, insert a special key, and go through a checklist (”Seatbelts, check; oil, check; last will and testament, check”). At top speed, the Veyron runs through a full tank of gas in 12 minutes, for a fuel economy measured in gallons per mile. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates it at 3.846kpl and 7.692kpl in normal city and highway cycles. In average for a kilometer Bugatti Veyron 16.4 needs Rs186. Presumably, though, mileage won’t be a factor in anyone’s purchase of this vehicle, ever. From 400 km/h, the car can stop in 10 seconds, covering more than a kilometer while doing so.
In the rarefied world of the supercar, so-called volume production is measured in hundreds, sometimes just dozens of cars. By that standard, the 300 examples of the Veyron 16.4 that Bugatti Automobiles SAS, of Molsheim, France, expects to build—50 per year—qualify it as a volume car.


Bugatti built just 7000 cars between 1909 and 1956, from Grand Prix winners to the legendary Royale ultraluxury car. It seems the greatest of ironies that the storied French marque was revived by Volkswagen, parent company of Skoda and Audi. A pet project of former chairman Ferdinand Piëch, the development of the Veyron took eight years. Industry analysts don’t expect the company to recoup its investment.


But what a glorious piece of engineering it is. Volkswagen should be proud. Perhaps even Ettore Bugatti, a man of immense flamboyance, ego, and engineering genius, would be pleased.

Lincoln Town Car


The Town Car is Lincoln’s full-size luxury sedan with traditional Lincoln luxury, V8 power, and rear-wheel drive. For 2003, the Lincoln flagship was redesigned with a more formal exterior and a new frame and suspension designed to improve ride and handling.
While it's no sports sedan, the more powerful new Town Car can be safely driven fast—thanks to a new frame, steering system and front suspension. There also are brake system upgrades and rear suspension improvements.

The front frame rails now are fully boxed sections of hydro-formed steel, which is lighter and stronger than the old frame's welded steel channels. The new rails are filled with structural foam in key locations to help control dissipation of crash energy through the frame for better offset collision performance.

Improved SteeringThe stiffer frame helps handling. So does the new rack-and-pinion steering, which replaces the older model's less precise recirculating ball steering gear. Steering effort is low at parking speeds and rises progressively as speed goes up.

The front suspension has a more robust design with such items as upgraded shock absorbers to improve handling.

A revised rear suspension also allows better handling and reduces transmission of road impacts into the car's structure. That suspension has a stabilizer bar, and load-leveling air springs maintain a constant ride height, regardless of vehicle load.

There is a more powerful 4-wheel anti-lock brake system with a new booster that provides a "panic assist" during fast stops.

More PowerHorsepower has been increased by 19 to 239 for lively acceleration, and the 4.6-liter overhead-camshaft V8 works with a responsive automatic transmission, although it's only a four-speed unit. A more modern 5-speed automatic would be appreciated.

Fuel economy is pretty good for such a big car that weighs 4,308 to 4,467 pounds: an estimated 17 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway.

The interior offers plenty of comfortable room for four big occupants, although the rear-drive system's driveline tunnel eats into room. The big trunk has a better shape and also a lower, much wider opening.

Traditional V8 SoundThe interior is quieter, although Lincoln has tuned the intake and exhaust systems to let the traditional sound of a powerful American V8 be heard during hard acceleration.
The revised instrument panel looks a little too flashy and gauges are harder to read. At least the dash has a classy analog clock. Dashboard controls for the sound system and climate controls are too small, although there are steering-wheel-mounted speed control, climate and audio controls. Among other new items is a dual-zone climate control system.
The new Town Car isn't as dashing as the 1930s American luxury cars, but can easily outperform the best of them.

Well the power plant is a 5.4-litre (331.9 cu in), supercharged, all aluminum, single overhead camV8 engine.
This little technological marvel puts out around 626 bhp in a 3898 lb car!
In tests conducted by Car and Driver, this sleek little beauty hit 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds.
The SLR then turned in a quarter mile time of 11.6 seconds at 125 mph.
When Road and Track tested it, they turned 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds and pulled 0 to 100 mph in 7.5 seconds.
And I remind you, this is with an automatic transmission.

The price for blasting around in this little rocket?
It starts out at around $ 495,000.
Hey, you gotta pay if you wanna play.
