Bugatti again among the leaders for speed! Limited model Veyron Super Sport has set a new speed record for serial supercars.bugatti  powered by 8 litre W16 engine  with carbon fiber elements and two air intakes that allows cool air for the cooling of the engine and the front wheels. The final output power released by the engine is 987 bhp and 927 lb-ft torque it has 16 cylinders Engine power increased to 1200 horses. Ordinary speed reached 408.47 km / h and The maximum speed Super Sport of this car is  431.072 km/jam.

The suspension has been modified with a slightly raised main-spring travel, stronger stabilisers, and brand new shock absorbers. Bugatti claims that the Super Sport can pull 1.4 G of lateral acceleration [standard Veyron: 1.25 G].

The Super Sport also features a new fibre structure of the all-carbon monocoque that reduces weight while the skin is made entirely of carbon-fibre composites. Upon request, the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is available in 100 per-cent clear-lacquered exposed carbon.

A special key is required to "unlock" the Veyron's top speed of 250  mph. The car is then lowered to just 3.5 inches from the ground. A hydraulic spoiler extends at speed, and it can also serve as an air brake.

The Veyron weighs a hulking 4,160 lbs, but even its harshest critics admit its handling is surprisingly sharp. Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1 was very skeptical of the Veyron during its development, but after driving the finished car, he conceded it is a "huge achievement."

Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson also publicly stated the Veyron was ridiculous and would never be built, only to call it "best car ever made" after he drove it. He famously characterized it as "utterly, stunningly, mind blowingly, jaw droppingly brilliant."

1970 Ford Torino

This is Lonnie Plank's 1970 1/2 Ford Falcon. When he bought this car just over 2 years ago, it was sold to him as a 1970 Torino. It was almost a year later, with the help of the Ford company, that the cars true identity was revealed.
Lonnie started researching the 1970 1/2 Falcon and found it to built on the Torino/Fairlane body with Falcon markings. The biggest difference between the two models is that the Falcons were a 2 door sedans (post sedan). Ford produced just over 26,000 of this model Falcon, which included the 2-dr, 4-dr, and station wagon variants. Most Falcons came with the standard 6 cylinder engine in keeping with the Falcon image.
In addition to the meager 6 cylinder, Ford also offered all of the Torino's power options like the 429cj package. Lonnie's Falcon is fitted the 351C 4V-V8, a real performer. Beefing up the stock power plant are some aftermarket performance parts like a larger cam, roller rockers, aluminum intake manifold, aluminum pulleys, performance water pump, and other trick components.
