Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG


Comfort, style and speed.
The Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG is powered by a 6.0 litre V12 BiTurbo engine that puts out 612 horsepower and 737 foot pounds of torque.
That allows this beauty to go from 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds.
This also gives the CL65 an 11.8 second quarter mile time at 120.9 mph.
It's estimated top speed is 186 mph.
The downside of this car is that the CL65 AMG is made to order in very small numbers.
And for the mundane stuff, the MPG is 11 in the city, and 17 on the highway.
The base price is around $203,700.

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano



Another VERY quick car, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is powered by a 6.0 L (5999 cc, hence the 599 in the name) V12 engine that produces a maximum of 612 horsepower and 448 pounds of torque.
This gives the Ferrari an 11.3 second quarter mile time at 126.4 mph.
Ferrari say's the cars top speed is in excess of 205 mph.
And they list a 0-160 time of 19 seconds.
Mileage?
11 mpg in the city, 15 mpg on the highway.
I wonder if thats at 205 mph?
And on the Tech side, the 599 GTB is the first Ferrari to come with an iPod connection as standard.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4


In the world's fastest cars, we've already had two entries, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 and the Lamborghini Reventón.
But the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 deserves honorable mention.
This Lambo is powered by a 5.2L V10 (based on the Audi RS6 V10) with FSI direct injection, generating 560 horsepower and 398 ft·lbs of torque.
This allows the LP560-4 to run the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds at 130 mph.

But wait, the Murcielago LP640 can go 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds, and the LP560-4 can manage 0-60 in 3.3 seconds.......
So is the LP560-4 really faster by .2 seconds?
And the LP640 has a quarter mile time of 11.8 seconds at 126 mph.....
I think I have to change my original post.
It appears the LP560-4 IS faster!

And what does the Lamborghini Gallardo cost?
Around $180,000 to $210,000.
