Powerful Weineck Cobra 780 CUI Supercar

With a perfect blend of great looks and mind-boggling power, the Weineck Cobra is definitely one of the most impressive supercars in the world right now. With no less than 1100 horsepower under the hood, this classy-looking vehicle is limited to just 15 units worldwide, all of which have already found an owner.
The 780 cubic inch V8 that can be found under the hood was made by a company called Donovan Engineering, whose experts put it together using a series of Weineck Engineering parts, including the crankshafts, pistons, connecting rods and heads. Furthermore, the massive hood scope you can see in the pictures is not there purely for aesthetic purposes, but it ensures much needed airflow and cooling for the massive engine. As far as performance is concerned, this beastly-looking machine is capable of doing a 100kmh (0-62 mph) sprint in just 2.3 seconds, as well as a 300 kmh (0-186 mph) sprint in just 10 seconds.
Each and every one of these stunning cars were made in Germany, and they retailed for 548.300 Euro ($746,000). However, one model will be available for purchase during the Paris Auction held by RM Auctions in February. Will you be the one to take it home?

Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4, the Gallardo’s successor

Lamborghini Gallardo made its debut in 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show and the company has produced more than 14,000 baby Lambos over the period of one decade. The Italian marquee announced the end of production of Gallardo late last month which set the stage for its successor to be unveiled. Lamborghini has finally taken the wraps off its newest offering which is also one of the most hotly anticipated cars of this year and was at the 5th position on our top 5 upcoming supercars. Prior to the official launch, there was ambiguity in the speculation of what Lamborghini will choose to name the Gallardo’s successor. Some said it’ll be named Cabrera while other rumors pointed towards the name Deimos. To everyone’s surprise, Lamborghini has gone with the name ‘Huracán’, which like other Lamborghinis is named after a legendary bull, but also means the god of storm in Spanish.

 The Lamborghini Huracán was spotted on numerous occasions in the wild covered in camouflage prints, but it did give us a fair idea of what the final product will look like. The Gallardo changed quite a bit externally over the 10 years to keep the design modern but its successor is quite different in many aspects. Lamborghini claims they have developed the Huracán from ground up from scratch. By judging the official images released by the Italian sportscar maker, the design of the Huracán is similar to that of Aventador but has a lot of unique styling bits to give it a separate character of its own. The front end might not look completely new despite the new aggressive headlights but it’s the rear end where the change is most noticeable. The rear end styling is a lot sharper than other models by Lamborghini barring Veneno. The taillights and the sharp edges augmenting the design blend together seamlessly and overall, the Huracán on the outside is beautifully crafted. 

 On the inside, the cabin is styled typical to recent Lamborghinis but with enough new touches. The most eye-catching addition to the cabin is a 12.3 inch full-color TFT instrument panel that delivers all car information to the driver, from rev counter to navigation maps and infotainment functions, and can be configured by the driver in different setups. The interior comes wrapped in fine Nappa leather and Alcantara which will be available in different color combinations. 

 The model that has been launched is named Huracán LP 610-4, which has a 4 wheel drive system powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V-10 that produces 610hp and a peak torque of 480 pound-feet. It is capable of accelerating from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 202mph. The car will make an official debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and on a brand-new line at its Sant’Agata Bolognese plant, with the first cars reaching customers in the spring of 2014.

Only 50 Bugatti Veyrons left for sale

Only 50 Bugatti Veyrons left for sale before the production of the iconic car draws to an end.

 When the Volkswagen group acquired the trademark rights of the former automaker Bugatti in 1998, it had a very ambitious plan in store to revive the iconic brand. Something unprecedented that’ll leave its mark in the history of automobiles. The attempt was to build the world’s most over-engineered car that’ll break all the previous records comfortably with a huge margin. Most of the industry specialists debunked the idea, but in 2005 the world got the best four wheeled automobile ever made in the history of mankind in the form of Bugatti Veyron. In 2005, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 not only snatched the record for being the fastest production car on the earth from the legendary McLaren F1 but also became the first to break into the 400kmph league. Eight years later, the luxury automaker owned by VW group today has announced it has sold its 400th Veyron and it’ll only build 50 more.

 Out of the 400 Veyrons sold till date, 300 were Veyron 16.4 and 16.4 Super Sport coupes with the Super Sport currently holding the record of fastest production car ever made. The company only planned to make 300 of those, so new buyers can only buy the roadster versions, the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport and 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. The 400th Veyron that was sold was the third and final example of the Jean-Pierre Wimille edition seen here in the pictures. The Wimille edition is the first in a series of six Legend specials that pay homage to Bugatti’s history. The rest of 50 Veyrons left to be made will take a little more than a year to leave the factory floors and then the legendary car will be etched in the history books forever as one of the most glorious engineering marvels to be ever made. Which urges us to ask, what’s next? We might never see a car that’ll be better or even similar to the Veyron. For every Veyron Bugatti makes, the company loses almost the same amount of money it makes from each sale and for that reason alone, the records set by the icon might stay put forever.

Lamborghini Veneno Roadster

 Lamborghini Veneno Roadster throws away its top for 3.8Million Euro ($5.3 million)

When Lamborghini brought us the Veneno earlier this year in Geneva, the four-of-a-kind, multi-million dollar alien creation was pre-purchased by three well-heeled buyers, with the fourth calling Lamborghini's museum its home. The gaudy supercar was formed in celebration of the mad Italian automaker's 50th birthday. And that, we presumed, would be the end of the story.

But as these leaked photographs show, a topless Veneno is preparing for its inauguration, and according to Top Gear, it will be priced at a staggering 3.8 Million Euro ($5.3 million).

With nine being built, the Veneno Roadster will still be rare, but you get the impression the level of demand for the Veneno has been stronger than originally expected, leading Lamborghini to consider the roadster version. And with 740 hp unleashed from its 6.5-liter V-12, and a 0-62 mph time of 2.9 seconds, meshed with a top speed of 354km/h (220 mph), it's hardly surprising that the richest of the rich are clamoring for this ostentatious look-at-me-and-I'll-kill-you machine.

 What makes the all-wheel drive Veneno so expensive, notwithstanding its uniqueness, is its abundant use of carbon fiber, including in much of the interior, keeping the weight of the sizable supercar down to a sensible 3,285 lbs. But if our Top Gear friends are correct, quite how the Roadster warrants such a price hike over its 2.9 Million Euro ($4 million) roofed brother is beyond me. Convertibles usually cost more, but the Veneno Roadster is no convertible. In fact, it has no roof whatsoever; if it rains, your only option is to depress the gas harder and outrun the droplets (shouldn't be too difficult). And the open-air sound of the screaming V-12 would surely be worth that minor inconvenience.
