2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo

  The 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo is a 2-door sports car coupe that was produced by the Japanese car manufacture Nissan, and the car is built and assembled in Kaminokawa, Tochigi, Japan. And the designer of the GT-R is Shiro Nakamura, And the 2015 GT-R Nismo also known as Godzilla is to be the fastest GT-R that Nissan has ever built. Also the 2015 GT-R was first unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.  The Nissan GT-R has won many awards from Top Gear, Autocar, Evo Magazine, Popular Mechanics, Automobile Magazine, Motor Week, Edmunds.com, Motor Trend, Popular Science.  As for the specs on the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo, the engine of the GT-R is a 3.8L V6 twin-turbo that produces 595hp with a AWD 6-speed Automated manual. The GT-R can go from 0-60 in in 3.0 seconds flat, and has a top speed of 191mph. Also the GT-R is the predecessor of the previous model the GT-R Skyline which was shown in the movie Fast And Furious 4 as Paul Walker's charterers new car from the FBI in the movie. I like this car because its an original sports car that anybody can get and have some fun with it, whether they use it for cruzing and showing it off or for racing on the track or strip. The new body still looks like the 2007 and 2009 version of the car only its been made smoother and sleek. And I don't really think that the new look suits the legendary Godzilla the only part of the new GT-R that still holds that name is the engine and its insane traction on wicked turns.

2014-2015 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4












  The 2014-2015 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 is a plug-in hybrid super-car that is manufactured by the Italian maker Lamborghini. And the Asterion is the very first plug-in hybrid made by Lamborghini, and the name comes from the name of a mythical minotaur.  The Asterion was first relieved at the 2014 Paris Auto Show this year on October 2nd.  The Asterion's frame and body is made out of carbon fiber monocoque with aluminum, and as for the brakes the Asterion has Carbo-ceramic brake disc that are internally ventilated and crossed-drilled. As for the engine the Asterion has a 5.2L V10 with IDS (Direct Injection Stratified) that produces 610hp and combining that with its 3 electric motors that produce 300hp, which is 100hp each it makes the 300hp plus the 610hp combined equal the 910hp that is included in the name. And that makes the Asterion one of the most powerful Lamborghini's yet to come. And for the transmission the Asterion has a 4-wheel drive system where the front wheels are powered by the 3 electric motors and the rear are powered by the gas powered engine, and the gearbox of the Asterion is a Lamborghini Doppia Frizone (LDF) 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. The Asterion has a top speed of 199mph with the acceleration of 0-62 in just 3.0 seconds flat. What I think personally of the Asterion is that its a very different type of Lamborghini from the design of the exterior to its components. I never thought that Lamborghini would convert into the think green idea of an electric hybrid like Honda or Toyota and this is very strange to me. The body looks like the previous models of the huracian and the murria  combined with a Honda or Ford focus. Although they did keep the original Lamborghini interior of the car which was a good thing. I don't particularly like the car and wouldn't put it into production but rather leave it as a concept model.

2012 Hennessey Venom GT

  The 2012 Hennessy Venom GT was first reviled in 2010 by  the Texas-based Hennessey Performance Engineering, The Venom GT is an American made sports car. And on January 21st, 2013 the Venom GT set the Guinness World Record for the worlds fastest car with a acceleration from 0mph-186mph in just 13.86 seconds, and it also set the unofficial record of 0mph-200mph in 14.51 seconds beating the Koenigsegg  Aregra R's time of 17.68 seconds. The bodystyle of the Venom GT is a 2-door coupe or a roadster, and as for the layout the Venom GT is a Longitudnal RMR layout. The engine of the Venom GT is a 7.0L 427cu in LSX Turbocharged V8, and with that is a Ricardo 6-speed manual. The reason why I like this car is because its fast and looks like a Porsche that just had a make-over done. I also like this car because its one of the fastest cars in the world besides the Buggati Veyron and the Koenigsegg Aregra R, which are both European made car. And so because Americans are not really the best car makers I give props to Hennessey for outdoing the Europeans with their Venom GT.

2015 Corvette Z06 C7


The 2015 Corvette Z06 or the C7 was manufactured by General Motors in 2013 till present day. And the C7 was designed by Ed Welburn, Kirk Benion, and Tom Peters. The C7 is assembled in Bowling King, Kentucky of the United States. The C7 was first reveled at 7pm EST on January 13, 2013 at the Detroit Auto Show. The car was originally to be released in 2011 but instead they changed it to 2013. As for some of the awards the car won were Automobile of the year 2014 from Automobile Magazine and also Performance Car of the Year 2013 by Road and Track. The new model of the C7 for 2015 was showed at the 2014 North American International Auto Show. The new C7 is equipped with a 6.2L supercharged LT4 engine with a 1.7L Eaton R1740 TVS supercharger, that produces 650hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. Also the C7 has Hyra-Matic 8L90 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. And also it comes with two choices for the seats which are 2 magnesium GT seats or 2 competition sport seats. The C7 also comes with carbon ceramic-matrix brake disk If wished. The C7 will go on sale in January 2015 and the price is set at $78,995, which to me is not that bad of a price for what your getting. I like the new C7 because its a whole new breed of the Corvette it still has the look of a Corvette but a more aggressive and imitating look to it. The reason why I think it looks aggrieve is because of the shape of the head lights are sharp looking as if they pierce right through you, and the front grill has what looks to be a grin or a smirk on the car. Inviting you to try and control the beast within it. Personally I never really liked the corvettes that came before this one but to me this is a start of a new era of the Corvette.
