The 1500hp Ego Booster (Bugatti Chiron)

 Shattering all barriers of Hypercar Engineering with grace, Bugatti presented their new flagship in January this year, THE BUGATTI CHIRON!

Fun Fact: The last reading on the speedo reads 500kmph!

 And what can one say..

The first 5 times you look at this car, you really do not have voice in your throat and air in your lungs because the sheer design of the thing is staring at you with glamor that shines brighter than the sun from space. The car simply grabs you by your throat and you're left staring at it dumbstruck with no words to speak and feelings to express.

Once the anaesthetic effect of Chiron wears off, kick in the extra terrestrial performance and aerodynamic facts of the car. The mammoth 8litre W16 engine paired with a foursome of turbochargers spitting out power equivalent of 1500 horses is pure Alien Tech, even by Chuck Norris standards! Combined with a 7 speed automatic transmission, this beast is in simple words, turmac slithering! Bugatti claims that the thing will hit 261mph(or 420kmph) maxed out, IF you can find a piece of turmac where you could hit those mph's and not end the day in a coffin.

Sporting all the traditional Bugatti signatures, the Chiron speaks volumes about the identity, pedigree and about the car it is heir to, the Veyron. The Chiron is a mindbogglingly 18mph than the fastest Veyron, which was the Veyron Supersport, and like just that wasn't enough, the Chiron is also the first car to host what Bugatti likes to call a 'nude backend', which is evident when you begin to notice the huge cavity at the back with practically no bodywork, all thanks to the Aero Engineers who worked on this god of a project. The traditional C scoop on the side and the horseshoe front grill is what all Bugatti's have been known to sport and even so, nothing about the car looks anything close to any earthly four wheeled being ever produced. Bugatti has always set the bar high with their projects in terms of exclusivity, and having an engine hub covered in solid gold and an exhaust cast from titanium, the Chiron is no different from it's outgoing forefathers.

The Chiron has got catalytic convertors which are 30 times bigger than what companies fit to normal mid-sized road going cars and the clutches are the "largest, high performing" such components ever fitted to a road car. Well they better be, if they're going to go up against the 8 litre's 1180 lb-ft of shockwave capable torque and the sub 2.5second sprints to 100kmph.

The car comes with 5 preset driving modes reading - automatic mode for comfort cruising, lift mode for bumps and driveway entrances, Autobahn, Handling and Top Speed which play with the dampers, the height actuators as well the aero package on the car while you're in it and going through town, on the speedway or in space.

Awestruck yet? There's little doubt that the Chiron tops even the mighty Veyron the department of jaw slackening. The Chiron is an engineering marvel and the pinnacle of Hypercar engineering; the mass should be properly enthralled and most critically, so should be the rich son's of guns capable of shelling out the whopping $2.5mil+ Bugatti is expected to tag the Chiron with, and get their hands on 1 of the 500 units Bugatti plans to build.

The Demonic Angel (Ferrari LaFerrari)

WHAT ON EARTH?

The LaFerrari is Ferrari's first ever road going hybrid supercar which comes with a 6.3Litre V12 heart whipping 789bhp enough to tear through any piece of turmac in the goddamn world! Considering the company's pedigree of forever being one step over the parapet of legendary, they fit the LaFerrari with an electric motor whipping extra 160hp being cased to the rear wheels. Honestly, this is like a Slash-Skrillex mashup. Only a handful can tame the LaFerrari and get it upto speed, the rest just end up tasting grass or barriers.

To put these stats into perspective, the Enzo made 651hp , and this beast of a V12 alone is more powerful than sum total of cars in the whole of China. The petrol-electric drivetrain of the Porsche 918, which is claimed to be 'the main rival to the LaFerrari' is actually no match for the Hulk in Red when it comes to the outright torque this demonic angel can put to the ground and race past acres in a matter of seconds.. 

OKAY, HOW DOES IT CHARGE THO?

Like a raging bull strapped to a nuclear missile, knot-to-sixty comes in well under 3 seconds. If you think about it, 3 seconds isn't even enough time open your fly if you had to pee in a hurry. The acceleration is borderline painful, but so, so addictive. Once flat out, the LaFerrari reached maximum of 217mph which makes a desirable as fuck, almost the most desirable car in the world, if you ask me. 

NO I MEAN, HOW DO YOU CHARGE IT UP?

By plugging it into the wall? Hell no! This is Ferrari we're talking about for god's sake!

The batteries are mounted on the floor right behind the seats, and breathes power through a combination of KERS(Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which as per Ferrari, surpasses the efficiency of any other hybrid by miles, by syphoning off excess power through the V12, and routing it trough the second motor, which in case needed, works as a giant of an alternator. As claimed by Ferrari, the charge of the LaFerrari will never run out in real world conditions. The only way you could 'probably' run the motor out was if you took it to Nurburgring at ran the car at 217mph+ lap after lap. Don't dare to do that? I thought as much.

ANYTHING ELSE, YOU ASK? 

The car comes equipped with tech like active aero devices. At the rear is fit a large spoiler hidden at rest, connected with air-flaps which burst out under breaking, when the extra downforce is needed to stop the car within the black stuff (turmac). At max drag mode, the active aero system gives the car an additional 230kg of downforce. Well, for an individual buying a $1.6 million car, the use of any of these performance friendly equipments would be rare, don't you think? Well, LaFerrari has crossed limits, broken records, won hearts and most of all made a special place for itself beautifully.

SO GREAT, I WANT ONE TOO.

Sorry to break your heart there, Sheikh, but even at a whopping $1.6M price tag, all 499 of these have been sold and Ferrari took the pain to handpick every single one of the buyers and even went to the extent of weeding out the speculators to make the sale smooth and discreet. Now that is what you call a brand. Ferrari remains to be the only company with the liberty to create a product, and sell all of the units even before presenting the product to it's buyers.

TO THE MARANELLO FANS OUT THERE : FORZA FERRARI!!

The Deadliest Toxin On Wheels (Lexus LFA)

Well, I'm sure the photos speak heaps, but just in case you need further explanation, The car that you see in these photos has been regarded as the most beautiful fucking car ever built! Just look at them curves, y'all. It's got the face of a princess, the waist of a belly dancer and the ass of a stripper. What else can one ask for? Geeeeez! 
The Lexus LFA is 'a beauty and a beast', a title few cars have ever deserved. The 4.8L V10 churning out mind boggling, turmac slithering, heart pounding 552 horses, and the exhaust singing the sweetest melody any car exhaust has ever sung, every penny that you put into this car is worth it! 
The sheer content and solace that this thing gives you, is incomparable to anything out there. To be honest, I never thought Lexus had the talent to come up with a heart throb such as the LFA. Turns out, they were equally surprised with the success of the sheer thing. The brand has for long been colored under the likes of Citroen, Peugeot etc and this is the car that has got it out of the stink and into the starlight joining the league of legends such as the Ferrari 458, the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Mclaren MP4-12C, the Jaguar F-type and alikes. 

Twist the carbon-fibre key of the flagship, and within seconds of the scintillating roar of the V10 reaching your eardrums, adrenaline kicks in like never before, the heart pounds like never before, blood pumps like never before, and you're knocked out cold.. Kidding.. If cars were women, this would be Angelina Jolie, for actresses come and go, but Angelina? Boy, does she stay forever! Cars may come and go, but LFA? Boy, does she stay forever!
In layman terms, the LFA makes you feel euphoric, ecstatic, and most of all, horny..
Regrettably, as is the case with most 'feel good' medicines, the LFA is highly habit-forming and equally fucking addictive. So the one thing you never forget, is to be aware of the vicious air surrounding this beastly mobile which, have no doubt, will catch you sooner or later.
As if all this wasn't already enough, the carmaker has limited the toxin to 500 units and set the price tag high (at $375,000) out of which all have been sold to buyers from all over the world and in the aftermarket and auctions, the tag on one these has gone up to $800,000 to $1M. A teenage boy's dream, an engineer's work of art and a collector's possession!
With a knot-to-sixty at 3.7 seconds, this car packs such brutal acceleration, that an analogue speedo could just not keep up, thus the Lexus became the first production car to come equiped with a 'Virtual Cockpit' or a screen which sufficed for the speedo! 
Unbelievable? BELIEVE IT! 
I'm The Throttle Guru, and this is my mantra!
