Fenice Milano Ferrari 360 Modena ‘Su Misura F101′

When it comes to supercars, there is just one name that instantly comes to mind – Ferrari. However, with the release of the new Fenice Milano Ferrari 360 Modena Su Misura F101, the term “supercar” becomes an understatement.

The development of new materials used for construction of skyscrapers and modern spacecrafts has been the driving force in incorporating the concept of aerodynamics and ergonomics for the new Ferrari.

Superb Performance

The Fenice Milano Ferrari 360 Modena Su Misura F101 has the ability to effortlessly accelerate form 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.5 seconds and can reach up to 295 kilometers per hour. This kind of supreme speed is enabled by the lightweight materials used in building this super machine such as carbon fiber and fiberglass. Carbon fiber is basically plastic that is reinforced by graphite textile giving it a very desirable weight-to-strength ratio.

Interior

Offering customized enhancements, Ferrari gives their clients and collectors not just a product but an experience to design their car according to their personal preferences. Furthermore, a slick dashboard design with the integration of a multimedia navigation center and a satellite alarm gives a feeling of security with a sense of style. The car’s suspensions with adjustable shock absorbers and springs make the ride smooth even with an unmatched speed capability.

When it comes to supercars, Ferrari is a top brand. When it comes to the Ferrari product line, the ‘Su Misura’ Fenice Milano is a top choice. This is a car than competes only with itself.

2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Only a few names like the Ford Mustang are more revered than the tagline Boss. It is best known as the performance package for the 1970 Mustang that went on to win Trans-Am races. And now, for the current crop of Mustangs, the Boss name has been revived, much to the delight of enthusiasts of this legendary sports car. But how does the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 edition stack up?

Tradition

True to the tradition, the new Boss is developed for the performance enthusiast. As for the looks, it gives a great salute to the Mustang’s colorful past, complete with racing stripes and hockey stick graphics. And with a new yellow paint job that gives a salute to 1970 Trans Am champion Parnelli Jones; the nostalgia is taken to another level.

Performance

But nostalgia is not just the only thing that makes the new Boss stand out from the others. Improved performance, true to the design ethos of the original Boss, has been accomplished thanks to a long line of modifications. A 302 cubic inch/5.0 liter engine is used for this car.

Thanks to extensive modifications, a maximum output of 444 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque is evenly distributed to all revs. A six speed manual transmission and an optional Torsen limited slip differential are incorporated to transmit all those power to the rear wheels. Adjustable struts and shock absorbers provide sharper, track-ready handling. And unique 19 inch wheels provide superior grip.

The 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 is a proper salute to the Mustang’s colorful past. Equally adept to both road and track, the boss is back.

2012 Audi R8 LMS Ultra

The Audi R8 is synonymous to racing success. Previously used to name perhaps the greatest Le Mans prototype racer, the R8 was used to represent Audi’s supercar. The R8 name did not stay on the road though, as the R8 name made its way back to the track. Thanks to the R8 LMS GT3, Audi was able to dominate the touring car scene for the last 3 years, winning 12 different championships and winning a grand total of 115 races.

However, Audi, not resting on its laurels, created its successor that aims to continue the tradition. This successor is the 2012 Audi R8 LMS Ultra.

Thanks to the work of Audi’s subsidiary Quattro GmbH, the daunting task of improving an already strong sports car has been accomplished with great results. Using the inputs of those that owned the R8 LMS GT3, these inputs are then utilized to improve the Ultra. The result is a car that is made to keep winning and exceed even the loftiest expectations.

Performance

New carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) doors and new energy absorbing foams not only reduce the car’s overall car weight but also increase the car’s overall safety. A new PS1 safety seat further increases safety even more. An updated transmission is created to provide better toughness necessary for endurance races.

The 5.2 liter V10 produces a maximum output of 570 horsepower, designed to fit in with GT3 regulations standards and last for thousands of kilometers. And with improved aerodynamics and suspension settings, the 2012 Audi R8 LMS Ultra is poised to continue the Audi R8’s legendary reputation.

2013 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

The Ford Mustang is one of the most American of all American sports cars. The epitome of the modern muscle car movement, it has endeared itself to people all over the world. Of course, even legends can improve.

And Ford was able to do just that with the 2013 Ford Mustang GT Convertible.

Exterior & Interior

The 2013 Mustang features some subtle modifications that made its retro styling acquire more swagger. With its new styling and the inclusion of some new technologies, this car has been reborn, literally and figuratively. A more prominent grille, together with a front splitter and hood vents, create a more aggressive yet functional styling cue upfront.

Smoked taillights complete this purposeful look on the rear. HID headlights are also new for this car. To complete the new look, new wheel selections ranging from 17 to 19 inches in diameter can be selected by prospective owners. Optional Recaro seats, the same seats used for premium Mustangs such as the Shelby and Boss models, are also available.

Performance

As for the mechanicals, there are vast improvements too. The 5.0 liter V8 found on the GT has an improved output of 420 horsepower. The key to this improvement are the things that they have learned while developing the limited edition Boss model. A SelectShift 6 speed automatic transmission with a manual function also comes standard. An optional track package allows sports car enthusiasts to upgrade their pony’s performance.

There are a lot of things to love with the 2013 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. With this car, they have proven that even the best can get even better.
