Supercars / Exotic cars:
AutoExpress caught the Pagani Zonda replacement while it was taking a brake from testing. And we have to admit it looks great! The car will go on sale early next year. At the front, soft curves replace sharp creases, while a wider grille has been fitted to aid cooling and improve the looks. At the rear there are two gaping air scoops on top of the rear wings, together with a single duct on the engine cover. On the interior there are minor changes, keeping the same mix of hand-stitched soft leather and bespoke aluminium controls and trim. It will be powered by a 5.4-litre V8 unit from the McLaren SLR, which produces up to 680bhp in the 722 GT version. The 0-60mph sprint is likely to dip below three seconds, and top speed should be comfortably beyond 200mph.
As perhaps many of you have heard Monaco is the place where you can find some of the world’s most exclusive and expensive cars. Sovereign Prince Albert II just revealed a new super car prototype named ALA 50 meant to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the local automaker, Monte Carlo Automobile. The design of the new ALA 50 is signed by Fulvio Maria Ballabio, the founder of the company, who work together with Guglielmo and Roberto Bellasi. The new model is 100% made of carbon-fiber and features a 650 hp V8 engine originally developed by Christian Contzen, an ex boss of Renault Sport. Fulvio and its team intend to release the car for the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours race and they announce to start a limited production of a road- going version very soon after, if the car achieves the success expected.

Finally! The Bugatti Veyron found its competitor: the 9ff GT9 ! The GT9 is a supercar based on the Porsche 911 GT3, but don’t let yourself foolished about this comparison, the vehicle shares only 2% of its components. The engine was modified and moved in the middle of the car due to the better weight distribution. Powered by a 4-liter flat six twin turbo engine capable of developing 987 hp you might believe that the performances of the vehicle are astonishing...well they aren’t! The 9ff GT9 is capable to sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, with 0.9 seconds slower than the Sportec SP600 and over 1.7 seconds than the Bugatti Veyron. The sprint might be slower but the top speed of the car is 409 km/h, with over 3 km/h faster than the Veyron.
The price of the car? $854,000 or half of the Bugatti Veyron price, which costs approximately $1,700,000. One thing is for sure: the 9ff GT9 will definetely be more exclusive than the Veyron due to the limited production of just 20 units.
Mercedes will launch the SLC Coupe (codenamed C197) at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and a roadster version (R197) will follow a year later. It will be badged an AMG, not as a Mercedes. The coupe and roadster will cost around the same as a well-equipped Porsche 911 Turbo – the target is €150,000 (£105,000) – and in size they are closer to the SLR than the SL. The design is a mix of retro and modern: there are large, roof-hinged gullwing doors, almost upright bi-xenon headlamps, a classic SL grille, a tapered plan view, LED tail lamps, a motorised rear spoiler and a pair of downforce-producing front and rear aprons. The wheels are 19-inch in the front and 20-inch in the back. The future Gullwing will be powered by a 6.3-litre V8 engine mated to the new Sportshift box. The output will be around 550bhp. It will make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3,8 seconds and will hit a top speed of 185 mph. 2010 Mercedes SLC Preview
McLaren is already testing their second supercar - the P11, a new model that will compete with Ferrari F430, but the P11 will be noticeably lighter and more compact than the competition. It will make its official debut in autumn 2009, and sales will begin in March 2010. The P11 will be followed by both open-top and hardcore versions of the base model. It will be powered by a 550bhp V8 engine which some sources say will be built by Mahle (which bought out the old Cosworth business) in Northamptonshire. It’s thought that the McLaren engine will be based on an existing Mercedes unit. The Spider version will follow in March 2011, while the top version, codenamed P12 will debut in summer of 2011. It will be powered by a V10 engine delivering over 600bhp and will cost around £250,000.

When he isn’t protecting Gotham City from various villains in the Batmobile as his alter ego, Batman, billionaire Bruce Wayne’s vehicle of choice is one of Lamborghini’s sexiest super sports car ever built, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. Bruce Wayne’s newest Lamborghini can be first seen prowling the streets in the movie’s new, extended theatrical trailer shown in theaters May 2, 2008, prior to "Iron Man."
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe is not Bruce Wayne’s first Lamborghini.

In the film, Bruce Wayne can be seen driving the Lamborghini supercar to an exclusive party with two beautiful models in the passenger seat.
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe appearing in "The Dark Knight" is powered by a 640 horsepower 12-cylinder engine and is capable of more than 211 mph.
