The 500HP Falcon’s body comes with a monocoque made with carbon fiber and a hydro-formed aluminum chassis. The car’s V8 Corvette LS3 engine boasts of a staggering 500 horsepower in its standard version. Of course, it wouldn’t be so hush-hush if Falcon would only carry the standard engine. Mach7 is offering an optional GM LS9 engine that is packed with 640 horsepower making it, indeed, a super car.

The 500HP Falcon model that was debuted during the Detroit Motor Show was still in its incomplete state, therefore no officials ratings in terms of performance have been reported. However, since Mach7 Motorsports is known as a tuning company for Vipers, they speculate that the Falcon would rake in numbers close to that of a Dodge model that clock cover 0.60 mph in 3.4 seconds with maximum speed at 202 mph.

The 500HP Falcon is said to curb weight that is close to almost 1293kg. The weight issue compliments the company’s speculation about the supposedly close ratings to the Dodge. The price tag of the striking Falcon has also been speculated closing to almost $200,000. The first few models are expected to be delivered during the last quarter of the year.

The new FT-86 will use the Subaru’s fine-tuned 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine.  This fine tuned version produces approximately 200bhp.  Subaru’s version of the FT-86 still has no name so far but it is revealed that Subaru aims to whip the model into a high performance car and will carry a turbocharged powertrain from Impreza STI that has about 260bhp.  Both versions will carry Subaru’s six-speed gearbox that comes in manual transmission but the models will vary in their sets of wheels, bumpers, and grilles.

The initial test drive for the rear-wheel drive version has kicked off at the Nürburgring in Germany.  According to sources, the magnificent test team of Subaru is behind the development of both models because Subaru drivers are more adept with the FT-86’s unique characteristics like the Impreza’s rear suspension and Legacy platform.

Subaru also had a lot to say in the decision of ruling out the plan in transforming the FT-86 into a 4-wheel drive as it would shoot up the price tag way higher.  The Subaru version of the FT-86 is said to come with a price tag within the range of £25,000 and £30,000 in the United Kingdom.

These cells, according to Panasonic, features a Nickel based Lithium ion chemistry. Straubel also stated that with these “cutting edge Panasonic batteries”, Tesla’s battery pack technology will provide the highest density battery packs for electric vehicles in the world.

Straubel also announced that Tesla will be delivering the Tesla Roadsters to select consumers in Japan. This will be the company’s first Asian delivery. Tesla already distributed 1,000 Roadsters to their customers in North America and Europe. The Panasonic-Tesla battery packs will be powering these green car-Roadsters. In addition to this, Tesla is also working on the production of battery packs for Daimler Smart EVs.

The company is also reportedly working on battery development programs for other vehicle and stationary customers. Panasonic and Tesla are reportedly “deepening their relationship” in their joint efforts to optimize electric vehicle cells. This was initially announced in a Panasonic factory visit by Straubel last January.

Panasonic previously announced its development of two new high capacity lithium-ion batteries late December last year. These are 3.4 ah and 4.0 ah lithium-ion cells with an optimized nickel based positive electrode. These inspired the cells produced by Panasonic for Tesla, with some alterations to fit the latter’s battery pack. To date, Panasonic is considered the largest producer of lithium-ion batteries. I can’t wait to rent a Tesla Roadster asap!

The limited edition vehicle will come in two-tone paint scheme which will have red paint and a gray top. The Chinese artist will imprint the character Xiao Zhuan on the car’s plate and mark the start button and the rev counter with the same character.

Lu Hao also made a special unit which features a pattern similar to the Ge Liln porcelain used during the Song Dynasty. This one unit uses jade for its starter button. It also sports the signature of the artist. This very limited edition of the 599 GTB Fiorano will be auctioned in Beijing during the charity gala sponsored by Ferrari. Proceeds from this auction will be used to fund the schooling of Chinese students interested in engineering.

The HGTE package is engineered to provide a more dynamic and more dynamic driving experience. The set up includes stiffer springs, new calibration for the shocks, and anti roll bars. The height of the ride is also made lower to adjust the center of gravity of the design. The tires of the vehicle also use compounds which improves the grip of the tires.

The concept of Venom GT was made known to the public in 2007 but the car had to go through several revisions on the drawing board. We can assume that the designers and engineers of the Venom GT are now satisfied and it seems the car they plan to build will be a speed demon.

It will be a monster as Hennessey engineers are planning to put a 1200 horsepower V8 engine in a chassis lighter than 2400 pounds. Given that idea, 0 to 60mph may just be a wink of 2.4 seconds while 0 to 100 mph will be at a lightning 5.3 seconds.

The top speed for the Venom GT can be expected to hit 272 mph. It will take the car 20 seconds to complete a 0 to 200 mph to 0 task.

The handling also looks promising looking at the mid engine configuration, rear drive setup, moving rear wing, and its low ride profile. A picture of how the air flows around the car is creating a buzz in the four corners of the internet.

The Venom GT seems to be based on the Lotus Exige when you look at the similarities but the Venom GT can hold its own ground in terms of looks and definitely performance.

It might be a long shot to get our hands behind the wheels of this car. The 8C Spider has a sticker price of $299,000 that includes shipping cost. Yes, you read it correctly and the tag price just makes the 8C Spider the most expensive car that ever rolled off Alfa Romeo’s car plant. It might keep the status for a while.

The 8C Competizione and the 8C Spider comes to life in Modena, Italy and shares mechanical platform with the Maserati Granturismo. The force that pushes you back the seat comes from a V8 4.7L power plant that at 7000 RPM can output 450hp.

The powerful engine is coupled with a 6-speed gearbox equipped with self shift technology controlled by computer guided shift levers near the steering wheeling. It also has a differential unit that is self blocking.

Alfa Romeo aside from making sure that you get the power and speed you want also ensured that you can stop the car when you want. The 8C Spider has the best Brembo brakes in the market installed on its 20 inch wheels. Carbon ceramic 380mm and 360 mm brakes are installed on the front and back, respectively. The Spider maximizes safety technology with the VDC stability and traction system.

The car industry might be in a surprise for next year as Alfa Romeo celebrates its 100th year in the business. There is a loud buzz that ther will be a high performance sibling of the 8C in the works. Only 100 units may come off their garage for this unless there will also be a GTA variant of the 8C Spider.
