Car review

This weeks car...


Citroen Ds3 Racing

Your average family car, only with more powerrrrrr. The Citroen Ds3 racing is a modified version of the normal Ds3. Its straight four engine gives it 202 horse power which is more than any other S4 car.  It can reach 100kmh in under 7 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 225kmh. Not so average family car but the most amazing thing about this car is that it only costs NZ$44,000 so its a cheap way to reach 200kmh.

My view:
Who would not like a sports performance car for only NZ$44,000? (considering that other alternatives cost over NZ$75,000)

Interesting fact: The Ds3 was originally ment for the Citoen racing team.

Pagani Huayra

The Pagani Huayra is a two seat beast of a machine that can reach a speed of 343kmh.   
Its super light body helps it with this. Its the only car in the world to be made entirely out of Carbotanium which is a mixture of carbon fiber and titanium. Drivers can enter its leather clad cockpit via spectacular gullwing doors. This car can go so fast that it needs extra panels on its body to stop it from flipping on to its side. I don't think you want that happening considering that it costs NZ$1,400,000 and the repairs often cost more. The Huayra gets its name from the South American god of winds. This is linked to Horacio Pagani's (Pagani CEO) Argentinean heritage. 

My view: 
The Huayra is one of those cars that takes years of planning and when its here, it was worth the effort.



Interesting fact: 
Even through Horacio Pagani is from 
South America, the company is based in Italy.

This weeks car...

Koenigsegg ccx

You would need a lot of money to own this car as it has a steep price of NZ$4,850,000. It will also bite you hard when it comes to refuelling. It needs a staggering 22 liters of petrol to go 100km. The Swedish hyper car can reach a top speed of over 400kmh. It has been used once on the English car show Topgear, only to be crashed into a tire wall on their test track (the repairs must have cost a fortune!). Despite its speed, it has quite a small engine but obviously here, size does not matter.

My view:
Who would want a two seat car that costs TOO much money and needs TOO much fuel. I would.



Interesting fact:
Every car that Koenigsegg have ever made costs over NZ$2,000,000.

Audi R8 V10 Plus

 The Audi R8 V10 Plus is probably one of the most aggressively styled cars I have ever seen. I say aggressive because LED clusters on its headlights give it an angry expression. The German speed machine has a sleek and aerodynamic shape that helps it reduce drag and boy does it work! It works so well in fact it has been used to build one of Audi's fastest race cars. The R8 can reach its top speed of 320kmh in around 3.3 seconds. This might be why it was made into a race car

My View:

The Audi R8 is comparable to an ipad. You don't need one, its quite expensive, but you still want it because its an amazing thing.

Interesting fact: The name of the racing R8  
                                                                    is Audi R8 Le Mans ultra Quattro.
