TOKYO — Honda is successfully campaigning its NSX coupe (Acura NSX in the U.S.) at the GT championship in Japan. Now it is translating the victories to street cred with the introduction of a special-edition model based on the GT racer. The NSX-R GT is guaranteed to be exclusive: Only five will be built and each will cost a cool half-million.Technically, there's not much difference from the normal NSX-R; it's powered by the same 280-horsepower, 3.2-liter V6. However, there are a few carbon-fiber parts, which guarantees better handling and makes the car look like a Transformer: a huge air intake behind the rear window in 1970s racer style, a front apron and an underbody diffuser.

This is the world's most expensive and fastest production car ever made. Dedicated to the Bugatti Atlantique 57S from the 1930's, with a proven top speed of over 400 km/h, Sang Noir's most obvious features is an all-black exterior featuring exposed carbon fibre sections. Sang Noir translates to 'Black Blood' a rather ominous and foreboding name for your new multi-million dollar super car. Other features specific to the Sang Noir include new alloy wheels, aluminium side mirrors and grille surround, black-out headlights and a tan leather and Alcantara interior. The car boasts 1001hp and got a top speed of 407km/h.
This is the most expensive Prado you can buy. That means it's also the most expensive Japanese medium-sized 4WD wagon, outstripping the Mitsubishi Pajero and making the Nissan Pathfinder look like exceptional value. Toyota's reputation for quality and 4WD ability helps it get away with that. The expected equipment requirements are fulfilled for the most part, but the Grande like all Prados suffers in terms of interior functionality. There is nothing ultra-modern about the Prado's interior but it succeeds as a people carrier. The third row (fits three kids at a pinch all with lap-sash belts) often gets criticised because it split-folds onto the wall rather than into the floor. Okay, it's old-hat but it works well and the seats are also removeable creating huge space. Access is also a snap via the flip-fold middle row.
Well it is now official, GM and Corvette have just released details of how much the new 2009 Corvette ZR1 will cost. You had better sit down because the cost of the sports coupe will have a starting price of $103,300. However; you then have to consider that you have to pay an extra $1,700 Gas guzzler tax, if you are bored with the standard rims then you can upgrade to chrome wheels, this comes at a cost of $2000.If you want to upgrade to a different option package then you only have a choice of one, the package costs $10,000 and with that you get Bluetooth, Bose audio, leather-wrapped interior, nav system and power tilt/telescoping steering wheel. With all these extras included the total price comes to $117,000. Autoblog believe that the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has to be one of the most expensive models that General Motors has ever produced.So what exactly are you getting on this car with a huge price tag? Well firstly the engine is something special a 638-hp lump. The car will go from 0 to 60 in just 3.4 seconds and will max out at 205 mph. Now comes the bad part, fuel consumption, 14 mpg city and 20 mpg highway.

The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is without question one of the most beautiful cars ever built, and a 1957 model sold for a record-setting $12.1 million. Ferrari built just 22 Scaglietti-designed Testa Rossas with the signature pontoon fenders between 1957 and 1958. It was a formidable racer - a 300 horsepower V12 and nimble handling will do that - and Testa Rossas won 10 of the 19 races they entered between 1958 and 1961. The car that sold Sunday wears chassis number 0714TR. It was the fourth Testa Rossa ever built and the second built for a customer. Piero Drago debuted the car in 1958 at the Buneos Aires 1000Km and took fourth place. Then it was off to the Havana Grand Prix, where Drago was in 13th place when race was halted following a fatal accident. Drago raced it one last time in the XII Circuito Internacional Vila Real in Portugal and then sold it to a Texan. No. 0714TR when through a series of owners who raced it, modified it, restored it and showed it over the years.No 9714TR was one of 32 Ferraris auctioned Sunday at the Ferrari Leggende d Passione in Maranello. The final bid of $12.1 million is the highest ever paid at a public auction, according to RM Auctions.
