The new Monza(s)

On this September 18th Ferrari officially revealed their new models, the Monza SP1 and SP2. Only 500 of them will be produced, so don’t take too long to order yours.

Their the same car, but one is a monoposto while the other is a biposto. Both barchettas (barchette?), they use the same chassis and power train of the Ferrari 812 Superfast. Powered by a 6596 cm³ V12, the cars are rated at 810 hp. And that’s good enough for “over 300 km/h” and a 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. With no windshield I bet that would be interesting…

A new LSR

On September 15th, the Turbinator II achieved 777 km/h at the Bonneville Salt Flats, in Utah, USA. Though the car is wheel-driven, its powered by a Lycoming 255, a turbojet engine. Originally used in the Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter, it produces 4360 hp that are directly transmitted to Turbinator’s four wheels.

Below you can see the record run through four different cameras:

Impressive to say the least .
