Gumpert Apollo S

Meet the machine that can get you to 200kmh in under 9 seconds. Built for speed, the Apollo S is the brain child of Roland Gumpert, an ex-Audi engineer. Made in 2011, the Apollo was a monstrous machine. It wasn't street legal when first made, but after adding brake lights and indicators, it could be used on the road. The two seat speed machine could race to 100km/h in 2.8 seconds and would then go on to a top speed of 360km/h. I must admit to the fact that this could well be one of my favorite cars in the world, but seeing that it has a price of NZ$ 900,000 I don't think I'll ever own one. It has a SUPER light body weighing only 1224 kg (it is light for a car). 

My view:

The Gumpert Apollo gets 10/10 from me. Its a great car to drive and I would        

                                                                    LOVE to own one.

                                                                    Interesting fact: 

                                                                    Gumpert is trying to make the Apollo the   

                                                                     fastest car in the world!

Mercedes-Benz SLS E-cell

Meet the most powerful electric sports car in the world. The E-cell is only a concept car which means that it might not be produced, but Mercedes are making a production version called the electric drive. Its supposed to be faster than the concept E-cell. The E-cell is a electric version of the SLS petrol. The petrol SLS is powered by a powerful engine and can reach 100kmh in 3.8 seconds. So can the electric one. The E-cell gets its power from 4 electric motors at each of its wheels. These motors boost it to a top speed of around 300kmh.

My view:

The E-cell shows what other electric cars can't, that electric cars can still be fun in the future.

Interesting fact:

Each of the motors in the SLS are hand built in Germany

Lamborgini Aventador 

 Around forty years ago, Lamborgini made serious super cars. Nowadays, they are just  insane, they are faster and even more powerful. Say hello to the 691 horse power Aventador. This beastly creation boasts a powerful engine that guzzles about 21.3l of petrol per 100km! (An average family car consumes around 5.6l). Even though driving this car will not solve the problem of global warming, it would still put a big smile on my face if I ever do get to drive it. It goes from 0 - 100km in 2.9 seconds and I think I would like to experience the feeling of being forced deep into the drivers seat by the immense power of this car.

My view:

The Lamborgini Aventador is what dreams are made of but with it's price of NZ $700,000 it will be hard to get hold of one             

                                                                    because I barely have $15 dollars.

                                                                    Interesting fact: You may want to consider                  

                                                                    moving to Dubai sometime this year 

                                                                    seeing as the police purchased 15 

                                                                    Aventador's to join their police fleet.
