New record for the Hennessey Venom GT

To give you a better idea of what is a fast car, here you can see the recent Guinness World Record acclaimed by the Hennessey Venom GT. With an incredible acceleration from 0 to 300 kph (0-186mph) in just 12.63 seconds, this car is the world's fastest production car for this speed, almost 1 second faster than the previous record holder, the Koenigsegg Agera R. How can it be so fast? Power/Weight ratio is the key of the Venom GT. It weighs just 1220kg and under the hood takes place a massive twin turbo 6.8L V8 engine that produces 1200hp!

2013, goodbye to Maybach production!

Daimler group is going to stop production of Maybach cars in 2013. That's what Dieter Zetsche (CEO of Daimler group) said in an interview that will be released tomorrow. The main reason is because they will be concentrated on the new Mercedes S Class and the target to increase its sales. There's more sense to put more efforts to increase the sales in the luxury S Class than in the creation or the sale of the actual Maybach cars, which have always been below the expectations. There were many rumors in time, but now it's official, Maybach will stop the production in 2013. Good to hear about the 150 workers of Maybach that will doesn't lose their job, they will keep working in Daimler group.

To be honest, i have never been a fan of Maybach cars, the base is taken from the Mercedes S Class and it looks very similar, i would rather take a Rolls Royce Ghost. Here below a video i took to an extravagant Maybach 57 i took this summer.
