Top 10 Expensive Cars of 2013

Image
Cars are more than means of transports. The speed, luxury, and high technology are one of the top features that bring distinction among cars. Moreover, the technology has advanced so much that it has became easy to drive. There are companies like Ferrari, McLaren, and Bugatti that are producing cars, which are affordable by less than 1% of the total population. Here is the list of the ten most expensive cars that have hit the market this year: 1. Bugatti Veyron Sports Car The most expensive, yet the fastest car of the world is famous for everything it possess. Made by a renowned Italian company Bugatti, this car can reach 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. The highest speed it can reach is 267mph. Only one or two cars in the world are compatible to compete with Veyron in speed. The price of this car is $2.4 million. 2. Aston Martin one-77 This car is popular for its shape, looks, and speed. The body of this car is made by handcrafted aluminum. This year the company is expected to ...

You Only Live Once: Get the Car You Really Want

Image
Car buying can be somewhat stressful for many people, but it doesn't really have to be that way. Sometimes one's personal situation dictates exactly what type of car they have to get. If it's an automobile that is meant to be used for family transportation, obviously a sporty convertible isn't going to work. Both minivans and SUVs have become extremely popular over the last two decades and are automotive designs that manufacturers literally invented in response to market demand. Minivans can be extremely practical, allowing for several people to be seated comfortably and allowing a large family to move as one, or even bringing along some friends for the ride. SUVs were basically a creation that rose from the original heavy-duty vehicles that were used in the outback such as the famous Toyota Land Cruiser or the Range Rover, both of which were known for their extreme durability under challenging conditions. Car manufacturers found that even people who lived in urban en...

2013 Harley-Davidson CVO Breakout

Image
In our opinion: In the pecking order of factory custom cruisers, the exclusive Harley CVO models stand tall. The Breakout is happier going straight than cornering and most comfortable cruising at less than 70 mph so if that's your habitat, here's your bling. Competitive set: Harley- Davidson CVO Softail Convertible, Indian Chief Vintage, Victory Arlen Ness Vision Base Price: $26,499 Perhaps a shrink can explain sometime why crows, brook trout and people like shiny things. But until then, know that the Harley-Davidson CVO Breakout attracts an audience like a shimmering lure zaps a rainbow out of the aspen shadows. The Breakout new for 2013 from Harley's Custom Vehicle Operations in Milwaukee is a dazzling interpretation of the popular Softail. It features a tuned 1,802-cc OHV V-twin, six-speed gearbox, rangy 67.3-inch wheelbase and the most relaxed seating this side of a La-Z-Boy. Bottom line: It's a cruiser rather than a carve-'em-up apex hunter. But wh...

The engine just keeps pulling to redline, then bang, grabs another gear and gets delighted all over again. I had no trouble with heel/toe shifting my onl...

An exhaustive introduction to the Ferrari FF

Image
BY: Nic Cackett An exhaustive introduction to the Ferrari FF is likely to be superfluous to even the most casual Ferrari fan so we'll only pause for a brief recap before getting to the nitty gritty of our first UK drive. Launched around a year ago, the shooting-brake-styled four-seater offered buyers a first: a full-size Grand Tourer with a 651bhp V12 engine and, somewhat contentiously, four-wheel-drive.

 The colossal, naturally aspirated unit is a direct injection descendant of the V12 that featured in the Enzo, but Ferrari's first production all-wheel drive system is an altogether more novel solution. When required by the front wheels, power is fed directly from the crank into a second, smaller gearbox located beneath the engine. This transmission only has two forward gears, and because its ratios cannot replicate the seven-speeds of the main gearbox, the resulting wheel speed mismatch is managed by two continually slipping clutches. The main benefit of the system is that it...
