Koenigsegg CCX-R

For the odds we finally have a car that could potentially dethrone the Veyron or the Bristol as the fastest car and for us we have a new car with a hefty price tag. The brand-new special edition Koenigsegg CCX-R from the Swedish hasn’t just been picked by us for a price tag of $2,342,580.46. But for traits which make it outstanding for reasons one many.

It is the first car which isn’t just a pure road scorcher running on gas but a devil which surprisingly is eco-friendly as it can run on biofuel, that too, without compromising on the performance.

The world’s fastest executive Jet to speed up your business

Pankaj Nov 20 2007
Having problems with digesting this one but at least Sheikh Rashid Bin Humaid Al Noaimi, (Emir of Ajman Municipality in the UAE) can do that easily. And why not, as the leader of an Emirate, his need for an $80 million dollar jet is more than justified or may be he’s trying to catch up with another Saudi billionaire who spent $400 million on an Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger plane, earlier this year. Let’s not get into the back of their minds and whatever the reasons are…this jet designed by Aerion, a U.S. company, expects to begin delivering completed jets by 2014 and also outdo the world’s current fastest jet, the Cessna Citation X. You can reserve yours now for $250,000.

The 2147 cc engine pumps out a massive 207bhp and an equally hefty 218ftlb of torque. There are other parts in the machine, battling to beat the engine, especially its hand built titanium chassis, designed by specially qualified titanium welders, molding the infamously expensive metal into frames. The list of its fantabulous parts seems never ending, the custom-made ISRs brakes, race-spec carbon fibred bodywork formed in an autoclave, and an expensive BRM chronograph watch matching each bike, to name a few. The materials used to manufacture this beauty are lightweight and thus assist in cutting down the weight of the product to 192kg!
