Bugatti Veyron SuperSport priced at $2.4 million
A few weeks ago, rumors started flying about a SuperSport version for the Bugatti Veyron. Those rumors turned out to be true as the company officially confirmed the model shortly thereafter. Now it seems we will be getting fast and ready information concerning the new SuperSport with the vehicle’s price being announced.
While everyone expected the Bugatti to be priced at $2 million, the car in fact will be priced at €1,950,000 ($2.4 million at the current exchange rates). The official debut will be made in August at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. This will be the final Veyron edition before going out of production.
Top 10 Most Expensive Cars In The World 2009-2010
What is the most expensive car in the world? The 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe was sold for $8,700,000 in 1987. However, that car and many alike will not be included in this list because it is not available on the market today. It is hard to imagine someone would actually spend 8 million dollars on a car instead of using it for something more productive. However, if you have the money and the opportunity, you will definitely spend a small fraction of it to place a few of these super cars in your garage. Here are the 10 most expensive production cars on the market.
1. Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000. This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. It claims to be the fastest car with a top speed of 253 mph+. However, the title for the fastest car goes to the SSC Ultimate Aero which exceed 253 mph pushing this car to 2nd place for the fastest car.

BMW 1-Series
Mattig modifies the front end by fitting a new GRP front spoiler for 249 euros and, by doing this, also reduces the lift. Mattig adorns the sides with side sills for 229 euros a pair, which make the car look closer to the ground. The counterpart to the front spoiler is the matching rear apron from RIM for a price of 249 euros. Drivers who then opt for one of Mattig’s roof spoiler variants (from 199 euros) can add the finishing touch to the aerodynamic tuning of their 1-series, whilst also lending their vehicles enhanced directional stability at high speeds. To top things off, 1-Series owners can also choose to fit the boot lid attachment for 99 euros.
A powerful sound is produced by the sporty 4-pipe system (from 939 euros), whose two double tailpipes fit exactly into the recesses of the Mattig rear apron attachment, where they go to create a harmoniously designed rear end.

2011 BMW X5 LCI/Facelift Photo Gallery
We are continuing our BMW X5 LCI coverage with a new set of official photos. As you might recall, a few days ago, BMW has unveiled their latest X5 facelift with visible changes mostly around the exterior design.
The big surprise comes from underneath the hood. BMW decided to match the X6 engine line-up to its “older brother” and starting in the Spring, BMW consumers will have access to the popular twin-turbo six and eight cylinder engines.

BMW X5 Overview
2011 BMW X5 xDrive35d SUV Shown The BMW X5 was this German automaker's first entry into the luxury SUV segment. Realizing that most SUV buyers rarely, if ever, venture off-road, BMW designed the X5 for on-road performance and handling. Short overhangs, a compact size (the original was 4.5 inches shorter than the 5 Series sedan of the same time period) and a car-based chassis combined to give the X5 its low stance and superb on-road performance. The X5, produced at BMW's first American plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, quickly became a huge hit for BMW in the U.S.
The first-generation BMW X5 only sat five people, however, and this is something that the company addressed with the current model. Redesigned for the 2007 model year, the second-generation X5 looks very similar to its predecessor, but is larger than before. It now features an optional third-row seat and room for seven, along with more cargo capacity. Despite this growth, the X5 is still very entertaining to drive as luxury SUVs go. If this appeals to you, the BMW X5 is a fine choice, new or used.Current BMW X5

Tesla History
- Current Tesla Models
- All Tesla Models
The company gets its name from Nikola Tesla, the inventor of alternating current, who went toe-to-toe with Thomas Edison (and won) to prove whether AC or DC was the preferred method of transporting electricity over great distances. In the same light, Tesla Motors is trying to prove that electricity is not only capable of transporting automobiles great distances but also that electric cars can be fun to drive.
The company is the brainchild of Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning and PayPal founder Elon Musk. The founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, are also investors. This fresh blood from Silicon Valley is further evidence that Tesla is an entirely different type of car company.
Suzuki History

In the history of any company, there comes a time when a product changes all the rules—one that lifts the marque to a new level and issues a challenge that others must answer. For American Suzuki Motor Company, that time has arrived with the introduction of the 2010 Kizashi. A luxurious machine designed for the smart Enthusiast Driver, it combines the refined handling of a European sports sedan with the quality, craftsmanship and advanced engineering of a modern Japanese automobile. This should be expected, however, because Suzuki engineers and designers produced the Kizashi like they do every vehicle, in the tradition of the company's founder: Michio Suzuki.
Born in 1887, Michio Suzuki grew up in Hamamatsu, a small, central seacoast village about 120 miles from Tokyo. The place, and the boy, was steeped in the tradition of the region's famed textiles, looms and woodworking. Suzuki became a carpenter and in 1909, at age 22, founded Suzuki Loom Works to build his break-through pedal-driven wooden loom.

Spyker History
Passion for Heritage
At the dawn of motoring, a Dutch car company was building cars that became a benchmark for their foreign counterparts. Combining technological innovation with a drive for engineering perfection and superb quality, Spyker cars won grueling races, speed records and became known as the most prestigious cars of their time. In 1898 two brothers, Jacobus and Hendrik-Jan Spijker, coachbuilders in Amsterdam, built their first Benz-engined motorcars that won immediate acclaim for the craftsmanship of their bodywork.
In the same year Spijker built the famous golden state coach, still in use today, to commemorate the forthcoming coronation of the Dutch queen, Wilhelmina. This was the turning point in their business career; from that moment on the Spijker brothers dedicated their company entirely to the manufacture of motorcars. The business name was changed to Spyker, for easier recognition in foreign markets. In 1903 Spyker introduced the extremely advanced 60/80 HP. It was the first car with a six-cylinder engine as well as permanent four-wheel drive and four-wheel brakes.
