Lamborghini Gallardo

Last Saturday, i went to Sentosa Resort World and Universal Studios for a 3 day 2 night holiday. The place was amazing and i had a reasonable amount of fun. Also, it gave me something to blog about.

I've seen this car 4 times already. And i ought to blog about it this time.



This car, is the Lamborghini Gallardo. 1st time i saw it, it was whizzing pass other cars on the express way, the 2nd was at Mandarin hotel, 3rd was the car park of Singapore indoor stadiums and now, i have seen it again, parked outside between the Festive hotel and hotel Michael's car park nearest to the Casino with other expensive cars.














































This Lamborghini Gallardo should be the 2005 version. A 2010 version has recently came out.
The Lamborghini Gallardo has a top speed of 309 km/h. Its acceleration from 0 to 100km/h is an astonishing 4.1 seconds. It also does a quarter mile (400m) in 12.4 seconds, which is the time most of us can hardly get for a 100m dash. It also has a 5 litre V10 engine which produces 500 horsepower.
At Sentosa, there were also many other expensive cars parked there. Here are some pictures.

Claimed fastest cars

On this blog, i would be talking about two cars.

One, is the chyrsler ME Four-Tweleve. Its claimed to be one of the fastest cars in the world. However, it has never been officially tested.

The other, would be the Barabus TKR. If this was officially tested and its speed is claimed to be what it is, it would be officially the world's fastest car, fastest than the bugatti, faster than the aero TT.

First, lets talk about the chyrsler ME Four-Twelve. I first got to know it in a game. It was stated as the fastest car in the game. Faster than the Koenigsegg CCR. The ME Four-Twelve had a top speed of 248mph in the game. When i searched it on the Internet, few sources had information about this car.

Firstly, this car took less than one year for design and development. Chrysler initially stated that the ME Four-Twelve was a prototype intended to lead to production. They later put a temporary stop to the project after several protests from the SLR division of Mercedes-Benz.

The Chysler has a 6 litre V12 engine which produces up to 850 horsepower. The car has an ultra light carbon-fiber body, which is the reason this is one of the lightest super cars in the world. The vehicle’s cockpit is somewhat dome shaped (a low dome) to increase aerodynamics.

This car is claimed to be able to do a top speed of 390 km/h.

Here are some pictures of the car:
























The next car would be the Barabus TKR.

The Barabus TKR is a new 1005 horsepower supercar that is claimed to be capable of doing 0 to 100 kp/h in 1.67 seconds. The car has even reportedly have a top speed of 435 km/h. The Barabus TKR has a 6.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged. The car has a full carbon fibre body and chassis.

If this car were to really be able to hit 435km/h, it would officially be the world's fastest car. However, many car enthusiasts are skeptical of such a number, especially about the acceleration of 0 to 100km/h in 1.67seconds.

Here are some pictures of the cars (a rather ugly car in my opinion):
