Road Style: Koenigsegg CCX

Damn I think out of all the exotic/sports car that I am featuring this Swedish car is my favorite. The Koenigsegg CCX is designed to be safer in low speed collisions than previous Koenigseggs and the whole body is 3.46 in (88 millimeters) longer to comply with the United States' rear impact regulations. The acceleration of this car from 0-62 mph in 3.2 sec. and from 0-124 mph in 9.8 sec. is just incredible.

The engine is re-engineered by Koenigsegg manufacturers in Sweden based on Ford's Modular architecture. The engine is the 4.7 liter 288 cu.in. V8 with dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder.

The car's exterior is really handsome: two door targa top and removable roof (that can be stored under the front trunk). The body made of carbon fiber and Kevlar. The doors rotate forward and upward similar to scissor doors. It has a flat underside at the rear an optional rear spoiler to improve aerodynamics.

There is more to write about this car - based from my source of information, but I am sure that just looking at the picture of the Koenigsegg CCX , there is NO DOUBT that this car is one of the best-looking cars of the 21st century. Nuff said!

Road Style: Hennessey Viper Venom 1000 Twin Turbo

As we move on fast like these hot cars we're talking about, let's check out the Hennessey Viper Venom 1000 Twin Turbo. This car looks very handsome and sleek. I find this car more like a superhero's type of vehicle. The manufacturer's claim that this car is "The fastest and most powerful limited-edition street car in the world." (As most manufacturer's will tell you about their new models...haha!!!). The variants of Hennessey Viper Venom 1000 Twin Turbo is a coupe and a convertible.

The Viper's Hennessey Performance Engineering increases the output to about 1100 hp and 1100 ft·lbf (1490 N·m) (rear wheels receive 981 foot pound force or 1329 N·m) of torque with the following modification: Engine displacement is increased via stroking to 522 cubic inch (8.55 L) and the compression is lowered to 9.0:1 compression ratio, twin Garett ball bearing turbo chargers and a front-mounted air-to-air intercooler.

The acceleration is from 0-200mph with a claimed top speed reaching 255mph. The brakes are manufactured by Brembo. The car has adjustable traction control system. Wheels are Hennessey Venom 7R forged aluminum wheels and the tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires: 275/30 YR19 front, 335/30 YR20 rear. The interior by the way is limited edition leather with custom embroidery.

This car is really hot, hot, hot!!!

Road Style: Bugatti Veyron

The hottest exotic car of which only 220 are known to have been built and delivered since production began in 2005 and ended in late 2008. The Bugatti Veyron is such a baby developed by VW. The car is named after French race car driver Pierre Veyron who once raced for the original Bugatti company in 1939. Special variants of the Veyron include the Pur Sang, the Fbg Par Hermes, the Sang Noir, the Targa, the Vincero, and the Bleu Centenaire.

This car has a W16 engine, with four valves each cylinder and its narrow staggered eight configuration allows two overhead camshaftsto drive two banks of cylinders so only four camshafts are needed. The transmission is dual clutch direct shift gearbox computer controlled. It also features fulltime permanent four-wheel drive, using the Haldex Traction system.

This exotic vehicle is a top speed car with an average top speed of 253.81 mph. The Bugatti Veyron lets you drive in fast style. Great luxe stylish car!!!

Road Style: Audi Le Mans Quattro

Nothing excites men of high style than to own and drive the world's exotic cars. The high life, the sleek colors and the great body of these cars are simply amazing. Fewer than 8,000 cars are produced each year by exotic car manufacturers compared to sports cars which are produced into the tens and hundreds of thousands.

Let me show you the Audi Le Mans Quattro, a cool exotic car. The car's structural framework - the Audi Space Frame is made entirely of aluminum and its outer skin made out of carbon fibre and aluminum. It features an auto rear spoiler which raises at 70 mph. It has a powerful permanent four-wheel drive optimizing traction and handling. It has four valves per cylinder, has twin turbochargers and Fuel Stratified Injection technology. The gearbox is the six-speed sequential manual transmission used in the Gallardo.

Neat style indeed.
