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!
