Top Speed Car - Bugatti Veyron Super Sport 2012

Bugatti is lighting up the Auto Show floor with a special edition Bugatti Veyron Super Sport developed especially for the Chinese market. The special edition will be completely painted in black visible carbon, and then combined with an interior that mixes "Snow Beige" and "Beluga Black."


The black carbon paint is combined with polished and anodized aluminum insertions, a new set of alloy wheels, EB logos on the wheel caps, and a fuel filler cap and rear lid. The interior of the Bugatti special edition will get "Snow Beige" leather for the seats, and that color will transfer over to the floors mats and the stitching on the steering wheel as well. The doors and center console are all dressed up in carbon fiber.

Under the hood, everything remains unchanged. This beautiful beast will feature a 16-cylinder engine with a total output of 1200 HP. With this amount of power, the Super Sport will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and will hit a top speed of 267 mph.

Shelby Reveals 950bhp Tuned Mustang

'They' say absolute power corrupts absolutely. We say pish: more is definitively better than less. And with that, may we present to you the Shelby 1000.

It is the most powerful Shelby ever built, and arrives on a wave of history: exactly 50 years ago Carroll Shelby premiered the Cobra at the '62 New York motor show, announcing the arrival of a new tuning house.

So for this year's milestone show, he wanted to set another marker for the ages. Having already achieved Big Numbers with the 800bhp Super Snake, his team of mechanics took the GT500 Mustang, stripped its 5.4-litre Ford V8 down to the block and beefed it up.
The head was flowed, the cooling was revamped and the exhaust was upgraded, and there's now a choice of either a Kenne Bell 3.6-litre or Whipple 4.0-litre supercharger on offer, that can, in Shelby's words, "crank out serious power all day long".

Ah yes, power. The street version produces around 950bhp, while a S/C 1000 track version offers up 1100bhp. The driveshaft is now stronger, mercifully, while the suspension includes new struts, sway bars and bushings, and Shelby tells us they worked closely with Ford Racing, Boria and Tremec to hone the wild ‘Stang.

They also held focus groups with Shelby customers too, who "overwhelmingly" asked for an understated exterior approach. "Everything was engineered and designed with a form follows function philosophy", Shelby VP Gary Davis says.

"For our return to the New York auto show," says Carroll, "I wanted something just as incredible that will show how far we've come and where we're headed for the next 50 years."

Just 50 will be built, and it'll cost you close to $200,000 - around £125k.

Skoda Is Panning a Volkswagen Touareg

Skoda has revealed plans to expand its range with a pair of new SUVs. And we got all the details following a chat with Eckhard Scholz, Skoda’s technical director, at the Geneva show.

Scholz told us: “There are several volume segments we are not currently in. We’re discussing both directions at the moment [MPV and SUV]: personally, I prefer SUVs.”

He continued: “There’s certainly space in the range for two SUVs, one bigger and one smaller than the Yeti. Whatever models we bring, they have to be compatible with our international markets – India, China and Russia.”

While the small SUV will use the VW Group’s new MQB platform, as shown on the VW Cross Coupe concept, the large one would need to be based on the Touareg’s underpinnings.

Scholz hinted: “Our big SUV needs an attractive price. It can’t be luxurious like the Touareg. It has to be practical and attractive. The Yeti is fantastic on road, but not so great off-road. In the bigger SUV segment, it needs to be a different concept with bigger wheels plus different engines and transmissions.”

Scholz didn’t offer a timeframe for these two cars, yet with the VW Group’s parts bin at his disposal, they could arrive in two years. In the meantime, a seven-seater Yeti is on the way.

He denied a Citigo vRS was also planned, using the 109bhp three-cylinder turbo from the VW up! GT, but said that an electric Citigo is in the pipeline and a two-cylinder petrol engine is under consideration.

London transport confident of staving off Olympic tube strike

London, uk transportation managers ignored concerns of a reach on the undercover practice system during this year's Olympic games saying they were assured a cope could be arranged that would prevent disorder for individuals and sports lovers.


However, transportation managers are still in contest with three boroughs who item to constraints on the Olympic Path Network ORN.L, something organizers must apply to boat authorities, the press and others between locations and accommodations.

TfL was also criticised for the potential effect the ORN might have on air quality during a London, uk Construction reading.

Transport is a major issue for organizers, having to cope with filter roads that are generally blocked with traffic and a creaking undercover system congested during high times.

Organisers are wanting to prevent the preconception that has dogged the 1996 Atl Game titles after some sports sportsmen never appear for their activities on time because of transportation problems.

Last week, associates of the RMT track partnership who perform on the London, uk Underground, known as the pipe, were provided a reward of 850 pounds each to perform during the Game titles, the newest provide in a long-running contest.

RMT had denied past provides, saying too many post were connected, and had officially announced a contest with London, uk Underground, one move short of contacting a poll. But partnership managers said they would consider the newest provide.

Deals have already been arranged with employees on the overground, track system and the key Olympic artery the Docklands Light Train.

"Discussions with the RMT are continuous," the TfL's Movie director of Game titles Transport Level Evers informed the London, uk Construction.

"We are assured that we will have a cope in place with them ... well before Game titles."

The questions by three boroughs to parts of the 109-mile ORN could lead to a judicial evaluation.

The boroughs, in reaction to an established appointment, dispute the ORN could cause traffic jam for companies and control citizens.
