I Have Mention A Couple Of Vehicles Over The Past Couple Of Posts,


well here are a few more,


the new Aston Martin Vanquish, built at the firm’s Gaydon headquarters in Warwickshire the second generation Vanquish is on sale now for delivery in ‘late 2012’ as the blurb says, 'luxury and technical touches include a lightweight but super-strong aluminium, magnesium and carbon-fibre composite body; carbon-fibre ‘skirt’ trim, 20 inch alloy wheels, full-grain leather interior with alcantara headlining, titanium meshes on bonnet and side-strakes',


for the first time Aston Martin has used carbon fibre in the construction of one of its cars, the carbon fibre elements are produced using advanced manufacturing techniques developed from the aerospace and motorsport industries, and enable the designers to create aerodynamic shapes – such that would be ‘impossible’ with other materials, they say,


for the technical,
Length     15ft 6 inches
Width         6ft 9 inches
Height        4ft 3 inches
Seats    2 or '2 plus 2'
Doors    2
Top speed 183 mph
Acceleration   0-62mph: 4.1 seconds
Engine  6.0 litre V12
Power 565 brake horse power
Gears  six speed automatic with F1 paddles for manual override


for the nontechnical it costs £189,995, would I like one? you bet! but then just as I was about to reach for my cheque book I remembered this beauty from across the pond,

the new generation SRT Viper, it has received an all-new timeless exterior design with a new carbon-fibre bonnet, roof and aluminium door panels, under the bonnet, the new Viper features a new 8.4-liter all-aluminium, V-10 overhead-valve engine that will deliver a total of 640 HP and 600 lb-ft of torque, the new engine will be mated to an improved Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission, I am guessing about  £100,000 will see it in your garage,


but wait there is more! also in the pipe line is Honda's NSX, it is expected to go on sale as a 2014 model, it is rumoured to get a new V6 engine that will deliver up to 400 HP, this should be more than enough to sprint the NSX to an impressive speed of 200 mph, also enter the future Lotus Esprit, it will be powered by a 5.0 liter V8 engine that delivers an impressive 620 HP and 720 NM of torque, with a weight of 1450 kilos, the new Esprit should sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and will hopefully hit a top speed of 205 mph, Oh, the agony of choice!
