Ferrari Ferrari F355 Berlinetta build in 1996.
A nice 8-cylinder with 380 bhp and a top speed of 295 km/h. With an acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, not the fastest ride, but still a nice car to spot.

The second Ferrari we spotted on the High-Way is a newer one.
Build in 2005 this Ferrrari is a monster ride. With his 540 bhp and top speed of 320 km/h. We are talking about the 612 SCAGLIETTI F1A.
It’s acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, a true power-ride machine! This one has a V12 cylinder engine. A true beast!

A great day driving the Dutch High-Way

Well couple of day’s ago, I was smoothly driving the Dutch highway.. and suddenly I’ve spotted an Audi R8

To bad it wasn’t riding, but on the back of a truck. After checking the plate, I noticed 2 day’s before we spotted this ride someone bought it!

Well I wish I could buy a car like this, but ok. Here a nice shot of this great Audi R8 Enjoy!

Well off course I took some photo’s while driving.. oops It’s wrong here.. but oke.. a true car fan needs to right?

Well enjoy! and please if you spot a nice ride your self.. let us know!

Only 2 bad thinks about this car at that moment. First of all, it was green! A green Porsche! You won’t buy this right? Well atleast I don’t…

Second, the old man was only driving 110-120 km/h. With such a ride like that, you would go faster right?

Well for the true Porsche fans, here some specs of this car:

Peak Power: 415/7,600 bhp/rpm

Peak Torque: 405/5,500 Nm/rpm

Weight: 1,450kg

Sprint 0-100 km/h: 4.3 Seconds

Top Speed: 310 km/h

Aston Martin is working on their new model. You could read it on Wheeltronix at the end of October. They made a great article about the newest project of Aston Martin, the One-77.

It marks the first appearance of a new Aston Martin engine, a 7.3-litre V12 to give over 700bhp and a top speed of over 200mph.

This powerful Aston Martin will go from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, and will go over the 320km/h as maximum speed.

The Bleu Centenaire is matt blue only the roof and hood are glossy blue, although it’s hard to see on the photo’s. The colors they used are called Sprintblue Gloss and Sprintblue Matt. So basically no shocking news, but still a nice ride.

Time for another powerful ride, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti F1A. Although it’s very hard to find some descent photo’s of this amazing Ferrari, we found some. Off course we also have some specs of this great power ride. This exotic car is a true beast, that’s what we do know. For example, it’s fuel economy is high! So if you are thinking to buy one, well you need an extra bank account to stay on the road with it. It’s fuel economy is 20.7L per 100KM! But then you have a nice powerful ride with 540 b/hp and with a topspeed of 320km/h and from 0-100km/h in 4.2 seconds. More specs here.

Mercedes Benz displays the Sterling Moss version of the SLR at the Detroit Auto Show, and will be the last version of this model. The SLR is a nice piece of work between Mercedes and McLaren and will end at the end of this year.

RENNTECH 777 20th Anniversary, or: Horsepower Wars really Really REALLY Not Over

Last week, AMG boss Volker Mornhinweg announced that “the horsepower war is over.” If this sounds familiar, it’s because AMG issued a similar press release LAST JANUARY.

“Last year, it was a coincidence that we were releasing a new, 695 hp performance package for the 65 series AMG cars at around the same time. We sent out a press release that said ‘HP War Not Over’,” recalls Hartmut Feyhl, president of RENNTECH and four-star General of the horsepower wars. “This year it is the same timing again, and we have something much more extreme to announce for our 20th Anniversary.”

Feyhl founded RENNTECH in 1989, and the company has since established itself as one of the world’s premier tuning firms and the foremost authority on Mercedes-Benz performance tuning. 2009 marks the company’s 20th year in business, and the company intends to celebrate by releasing a small number of extreme, limited edition performance vehicles, beginning with the 777 hp, RENNTECH 777 shown here.

“This 777 concept is really an all-new car that makes use of the advanced carbon fiber chassis of the SLR McLaren. It can be described as a street-legal track car, or something closer to what the enthusiasts were hoping for from the SLR, originally – which is more a successor to the McLaren F1.”

RENNTECH heavily revised the SLR McLaren bodywork and aero package using some of the same technology the company used to develop the the GLK Hybrid Rally Racer for Mercedes-Benz, including advanced CFD software to develop the aerodynamics for improved downforce. Even with the big wing, splitters, and skirts, a top speed in excess of 210 mph is well within reach for the 777.

The 777 is much more than lightweight bodywork, however. The 5.5 L supercharged “Kompressor” v8 engine is heavily revised, with internal and external performance upgrades and a significantly upgraded cooling system.

Getting that power to the ground is the job of a fully redesigned suspension and driveline, with a heavily reinforced transmission sending power to RENNTECH’s revolutionary new limited-slip differential. Built for RENNTECH by Japanese supplier OS Giken, the recently-released differential allows for 100% locking between the drive wheels for unsurpassed mid-corner traction. Aggressive Nitto NT-05 ultra-high performance tires wrapped around extremely lightweight, 1 pc. center-locking wheels round out the street -legal handling package.

“The 777 will be a very special car,” explains Hartmut. “The first example is being built now, and will be ready this Spring. We intend to build a few different extreme vehicles like this for our 20th anniversary, with each one being strictly limited to 20 units. They are all very exciting projects, and we will be announcing them throughout the year, as they approach completion.”

Top speed of this car is 245 km/h and has an average consumption of only 5.9l/100 km, which corresponds to a CO2 emission of 156 g / km.
