DODGE VIPER COMPETITION COUPE

DODGE VIPER COMPETITION COUPE

Scratch the surface of the 2003 Dodge Viper Competition Coupe SRT-10 and you'll find many of the same basic ingredients that made the original an automotive icon. The front-mounted V10 engine remains, but a new bored and stroked aluminum block bumps displacement from 488 to 505 cubic inches. Peak horsepower climbs to 500 at 5,600 rpm, while torque tops out at a nose-flattening 525 pound-feet at 4,200 rpm (with 90 percent of that torque available from 1,500 to 5,600 rpm).

The previous Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission is retained in the new model, but internal components have been updated to deal with the 2003 model's increased power. This drivetrain rests in an updated chassis that offers a 31-percent increase in torsional rigidity (Dodge claims it's stiffer than the outgoing 2002 GTS Coupe). The Viper's four-wheel independent suspension has also been revised to give the car greater predictability when driven at its limit.

LAMBORGHINI REVENTON

The Lamborghini Revent?n is a supercar that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. It will be the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini to date, costing one million euro. The official press release states that only 20 will be built, but it was later reported that the total number would be 100. The exterior styling was inspired by the F-22 Raptor. Although the exterior is partially new, almost the entire mechanics (including the engine) are taken directly from the Murci?lago LP640.

LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO SPYDER

The Lamborghini Gallardo spyder was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January, 2006. It is considered by the company to be an entirely new model, with 520 hp (388 kW) and a lower-ratio six-speed transmission. The soft top is fully retractable. Like the other models in the range, the Gallardo Spyder also benefits from aluminium bodywork and features permanent four-wheel drive.

LAMBORGHINI CONCEPT S

The Lamborghini Concept S was first shown at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. It is a concept car designed by Luc Donckerwolke, the head of Lamborghini design, using the Lamborghini Gallardo as a basis. Luc's idea was to modify a Gallardo, Lamborghini's 'baby supercar', into a roadster which would be reminiscent of classic single-seater racing cars.

Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe Superleggera

For most people, the Lamborghini Gallardo is sporty and exotic enough.
