Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG
The Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG was one of the fastest Mercedes ever built.
The SLK32 AMG was powered by a 3.2 liter 354 hp V6 engine.
All of the SLK's engines were hand-built by AMG engineers.
The 3.2 liter engine was equipped with an intercooled Lysholm-type "twin-screw" supercharger.
That allowed the V6 to propel the SLK32 from 0 to 60 in around 4.5 seconds and gave it a quarter mile time of 13 seconds at 105 mph.
Even thought it was only offered with automatic transmission, the SLK was competition for the BMW M Roadster and Porsche Boxster S.
The base price of the SLK was around $56,115.

Bentley Continental GT Supersports
The Bentley Continental GT Supersports is the first Bentley that can run on gasoline and ethanol.
And the performance is staggering.
This luxury car has a 6.0L W12 twin-turbocharged engine rated at 621 horsepower and it puts out 590 foot pounds of torque.
The GT can pull 0 to 60 in just 3.7 seconds, 0 to 100 in 8.9 seconds and has a top speed of 204 mph.
The power comes at a price in more ways than one.
MPG in the city is 11.5 and highway is 24.4.
I don't know if that's cruising at 200 mph plus or not.
So Go Green!
Save the Earth!
Turn 0 to 60 times in 3.7 seconds and cruise at 200 plus mph!
And you only have to pay $267,000 (base price) to do it!

Ferrari Testarossa F512 M
The Ferrari Testarossa F512 M is a 12-cylinder mid-engine sports car manufactured by Ferrari.
The F512 M was powered by a 4.9 litre (302 cubic inches) Ferrari Colombo Flat-12 engine.
BTW, the name Testarossa means "red head" in Italian and the car was named that because the cam covers were painted red.
Of course it has a double meaning because Ferrari regularly uses terms related to a female's body when describing the style of their automobiles.
You have to love the Italians!
Anyway, the Flat-12 engine puts out 440 horsepower and 406 foot pounds of torque.
That allows the F512 M go from 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, 0-100 in 10.2 seconds and cover the quarter mile in 12.7 seconds at 112 mph.
The maximum speed of the F512 M is 196 mph.
In 1995, the F512 M retailed for $220,000.
