Spiess TC 522
Spiess is not a company you'd expect to be dabbling in the new hypercar market, the German company were better known for manufacturing industrial electrical transformers. But in the late 80's and early 90's this exotic market where money and wealth had to be shown, they put its hat in the ring with this. It ticked all the hypercar boxes, mid engined (5.7ltr V8), turbo's (2), top speed of 211mph, 0-60mph in 4 seconds, 500bhp, 6 gears and plenty of this new fangled carbon fibre.Tuesday, April 24, 2012
B Engineering Edonis
Where to start, what happens when you take some of the best engineers (Jean-Marc Borel, ex-vice-chairman of Bugatti, Christian von Koenigsegg, of Koenigsegg fame, and Nicola Materazzi, whos credit include development for Ferrari, Lancia, Maserati, and numerous Formula One teams) and the last hypercar they all developed back in the 1990’s and the Bugatti EB110 oh not only that but make it the SS version.Monday, January 16, 2012
Bugatti EB110
At the birth of the hypercar in the early 90’s, Bugatti seemed to have gone abit mad with its contender. Why have 2 wheel drive when 4 wheel will do, why have 1 turbo when 2 will do, hell why stop there we’ll put 4 in the mix!!!!!!! Active downforce form a rear spoiler, scissor doors oh and all built around a V12 please. It sounds like a sure fire hit when you take into account the numbers, 212mph, 0-60mph in 4.4s and 650bhp. To top it off it was built in Modena the home of the supercar with Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati being based there.
