Koenigsegg CCX

You don’t see this every day - a real live Koenigsegg CCX for Sale on eBay. Man if I had an extra $400,000, this would be mine in a New York minute.

For those of you not familiar with the Koenigsegg CCX, it’s a supercar made in Sweden, and holds the second fastest official top speed record in the world for a production car, reaching over 250 mph. It goes from 0-62 mph in only 3.2 seconds, carries a twin-supercharged 4.7-liter V8 producing 850 horsepower, and has one of the best engine noises in the world. According to Koenigsegg, the CCX can reach a top speed of 259 mph, but this has not been officially verified.

Replica cars are, for the most part, meant to fool people into thinking you’re driving the real thing, so you can save some money. Look, I’m all for people doing crazy shit to cars and being innovative, but let’s be reasonable. Who is this going to fool? I don’t even feel right calling this a Lamborghini replica.

Built off of a 2008 Pontiac Solstice chassis, at least it’s a step up from the typical Fiero kit cars. And to this person’s credit, it looks like the build was actually done very well with good craftsmanship. But saying that this looks like a Murcielago is blasphemy.

And for $70,000? It’s a nice build, but keep in mind you’re just buying a Pontiac Solstice in a Lamborghini costume. Continue Reading…

Unveiled at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT was Lambo’s first variation on the popular V12 supercar first released in 2001. Boasting around 590 horsepower, the R-GT still holds the same V12 engine as the standard car. It was also converted from the standard AWD to a rear-wheel-drive layout due to FIA regulations.

One fine example is now for sale on eBay for a Buy-it-Now price of $395,000.

When you buy the Murcielago R-GT you will also receive support from Lamborghini’s own ‘Customer Sports Program’, a division of Automobili Lamborghini SpA which not only sells these race cars but is also present on and near the track for assistance if needed.

Once the IAA Frankfurt closes the doors, the Murcielago R-GT will be shipped to Reiter Engineering who will perform extensive tests on the car to further develop it and even increase the already massive potential of this new model in the American Le Mans Series and the European FIA GT races.
Reiter Engineering will enter the car for the Estoril race (October 5, 2003) and the Monza race (October 29, 2003), on both occasions the car will be driven by Oliver Gavin and Dutch race driver Peter Kox. The latter was already a driver on the Diablo GTR that was entered last year in the FIA GT races.
Some sources also state that Vici Racing, owned by Ron Meixner, will run one of the Murcielago R-GT cars in the 1000 Km of Le Mans to work on tire development for this extreme Lamborghini.

OK, for me, this falls into the category of totally bitchin’.

Before Dale (and that would be senior) and before NASCAR became an irresistible beige monolith of marketing and sponsorship opportunities with some “racing” thrown in now and again, one racer stood above them all.

You don’t get a nickname like “King” lightly, and if anyone ever deserved it, Richard Petty sure as hell did.

The vast majority of the time, he raced Chrysler products, and they were always (always, always) painted a particular shade of blue.

Dodge, pulling off a move of supreme coolness, has decided to paint the 43rd Challenger off the line that very shade of “Petty Blue” (although when I was a kid, I always heard it called Petty Racing Enterprises Blue) and auction it off for

The cash raised at the auction will go to Victory Junction Gang Camp which was set up and is still run by the Petty family (real good outfit, real good family).

So hey, if you’re rich, and you’re predisposed to wanting things like this, go bid.

“Producing 850bhp through a 7.7 litre V12, the cars’ acceleration defies belief; especially, as it weighs-in at less than 1000kg.”

Now is your chance to own the only road registered TVR Cerbera Speed 12 around. You better hurry though, there are only 2 days left of the auction at the time of writing this article. Peter Wheeler, owner of TVR until 2004, took the car home only to return it saying it wasn’t drivable on the street due to its powerful engine and production was soon halted. This “McLaren F1 Killer” around 880 horsepower sitting in it’s 1000kg frame, and it’s top speed is estimated to be around 240 mph.

On eBay, it’s pretty frequent that you can find ridiculously fast Supras. Almost all of the Supras for sale are at least somewhat modified, most of them heavily. This 1998 Supra for sale on eBay is claiming to be the worlds fastest/quickest 6-speed Toyota Supra, and has graced the cover of Sport Compact Car, and is soon to be shown on Turbo Magazine.

Right now the auction is at over $100,000, and still has not met the set reserve price. The car has a reported Over 1400 horsepower at the rear wheels, and does the quarter mile in 8.62 seconds at just over 171 mph. This list of modifications are very extensive, and are listed after the jump for that very reason…
