Speed is, for so many of us, more than an obsession, even more than an addiction, and for a select few, like the tuners at 9ff, it’s a way of life. That’s what led them to build the Porsche 911 Turbo-based GT9R in the first place, topping 250 mph top speed. But now they’re working on a convertible version.

When I read this I thought to myself what was the need in this!! Like there are not cars on the road already fast enough but apparently the roots for this project come from the United Arab Emirates, a conglomerate of countries whose car enthusiasts are known for doing things simply because they can.

Power will come from the same 1,120-horsepower stroked 4.0-liter flat six as the GT9R, capable of rocketing the car to 60 mph in under 2.8 seconds and onward to its 257 mph top speed.

Every ones talking about it so thought id jump on the same band wagon when it comes to the new mini coupe concept, i remember seeing this a while ago when it was just a concept car and people where how good it would be if it actually got put into production well i guess they got their wish.

Underneath, the Concept is a Mini Cooper JCW, meaning a power output of 208bhp and 192lb ft of torque, with 206lb ft available on over boost. A production version could run even more performance-focused mechanicals, but the lightweight roof and much lower centre of gravity mean that the Mini Coupe would be a pretty agile machine even with running gear and suspension identical to the JCW.

The Maserati GranCabrio is the company’s first four-seat convertible, and completes the three-model Maserati line-up. Maserati is also keen to emphasize the fact the GranCabrio is more than just a 2+2.

Maserati says it will start to market the car this winter but, and aims to get the first cars to customers in time for spring 2010.

There are no details on price as yet, but expect a fair hike over the £78,215 that a base coupe will set you back.

Some of you may of heard about the new bugatti 4 door you may not have seen the pictures however as these where only little teaser shots not giving us a clear view on how this will look.

But now some new slick renderings have emerged that give a much fuller look at the new Molsheim heavyweight. Before you say it yes it is pink but this car in Black with black alloys and this could well be a fastback super-saloon with four proper doors.

Being a Bugatti you can expect the price to be as unsubtle as that pink paint (current estimates are around 1.3 million Euros [£1.1m]), and it is expected to go on sale around 2013. Place your orders guys!

Is this what you have been looking for a Bullet proof Bentley for those who on their road to riches made a few enemies who may at any moment strike with assault rifles and maybe even an RPG or two.

I have to admit it does look good including how much armor it come with but for $.5M  it better be saving my life with features such as:

Ballistic steel in the doors, pillars, overlaps and sides of the vehicle, bulletproof glass, run flat tires, an explosion-proof gas tank, kevlar flooring, and more. Other security options include a self-contained oxygen supply system in case of a poison gas attack and exploding hinge bolts that blast open the doors should a speedy exit become imperative.

After loads of speculation and talk regarding the release of BMW’s baby SUV  the official X1 pictures and information have been released today!

Many have already stated that it looks visually similar to the current X3 and I have to agree in size and shape.

Powering the X1 is a choice of five engines – two petrol’s and three turbo-diesels. The petrol range starts with a 141bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder motor, while BMW’s familiar 3.0-litre 254bhp straight six tops the range as a whole. Diesel choices are two single-turbo 2.0-litre units with either 141bhp (xDrive18d) or 175bhp (xDrive20d), or the storming 201bhp twin-turbo diesel xDrive23d.

Technical details of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 are sketchy, but the name – and Lambo’s recent naming scheme – strongly suggests that the new car will have 550hp (542bhp) and two-wheel drive. Since it’s pretty hard to imagine a front-wheel-drive Lamborghini, rear-drive is a pretty safe bet.
