1970 Lamborghini Miura SV - Few cool cars made an impact on the world quite like the Miura. A central engine and fascinating body designed by Marcello Gandini redefined the supercar market and changed supercars forever.
The Miura was produced in small number, due to fear of few being sold. Only 275 models of the 350 HP Miura were made, and it was not until 1969 that its evolution- the 370 HP Miura S- became available for purchase. The Miura came with a 4 litre V12 engine, and a top speed of close to 300KPH.

Super Cool Supercars !
Showcasing Spyker Supercars pictures and videos. You all know supercar names like Ferrari, Bugatti and Lamborghini, but there are all kinds of boutique automakers producing small numbers of outrageously expensive and stunningly quick cars, and Spyker has to be one of the coolest.









The Dutch company has been building sports cars at a rate of about 60 per year since 2000, but its history dates to 1875 when it started making coaches — horse-drawn coaches. It switched to automobiles in 1898 and turned out airplanes during World War I. Spyker folded in 1925 and was little more than an automotive footnote until the late 1990s, when Dutch lawyer Victor Muller resurrected the name.

The design of the Spyder SWB (which stands for short wheelbase and is such a mouthful that the car will henceforth be called the Spyder) draws from the company’s aviation heritage. People will either love the styling or hate it. Yet the Spyder is more subdued than the C8 Aileron hardtop, which has more scoops than Baskin-Robbins. Spykers have excellent proportions and a beautiful silhouette, though some might think the Spyder looks a bit like a catfish from the front.



Power comes from a 400 horsepower 4.2-liter V8 engine. It is mounted in the middle of the car, where it belongs, and mated to a six-speed manual with a beautiful exposed shift linkage (shown above). A very burly security guard with no sense of humor prevented us from seeing how the shifter action feels. The turned aluminum panels, machined switches and polished metal give the interior an industrial chic that borders on steampunk. Anyone wealthy enough to buy a Spyker — the Spyder starts well north of $200,000 — can pretty much choose their own paint and interior colors. Some models come with an optional set of Louis Vuitton luggage because you wouldn’t want your bags clashing with your car.

That’s Latin. It means “For the tenacious, no road is impassable.” It has been Spyker’s motto since 1914. The Spyder accelerates from zero to 60 in 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 187 mph. We’ll have to take Spyker’s word on that, because no one was willing to give us the keys so we could see how it handles the winding roads around Monterey.

In keeping with Spyker’s aviation heritage - the company built about 100 fighter planes and 200 aircraft engines during World War I - its logo incorporates a propeller and a wheel. It appears on the hood, the rear deck and on what has to be the coolest gas cap ever.

2011 Koenigsegg Super Cars Edo Competition CCR Evolution
2011 Koenigsegg Super Cars Edo Competition CCR Evolution is a car that holds the title of one of the world’s fastest car. For all these reasons, one of the German tuning company “Edo Competition” which has a reputation in making a super car is faster to make modifications in the improvement of and little change in the exterior.
2011 Koenigsegg Super Cars Edo Competition CCR Evolution
Edo Koenigsegg Super Cars CCR became one of their amazing work. Additionally there are the changes made to the interior and exterior design of the vehicle. The changes are for example contained in the wheel with a layer of charcoal paint, the presence of additional light to the CCR model, and materials throughout the cabin Alcantara on Koenigsegg’s provides a sense of more luxurious.
2011 Koenigsegg Super Cars Edo Competition CCR Evolution
Edo has managed to upgrade with the exotic, rare and unique characteristic to them. However, the most impressive aspect is still intense and violent acceleration, which is almost unparalleled, even in the field of supercars.
Since the V8 engine is being force-fed by twin superchargers, the main focus was on the setup of the two Rotrex units. With assistance from the manufacturer the drive ratio was modified and the ECU was remapped to accommodate the hardware changes. The aim was to increase the power output while maintaining a broad torque curve over the whole rev range. With the new drive ratio the engine hits its torque peak earlier and puts out up to 891 horsepower, depending on the level of tune. In order to ensure long term reliability of the superchargers, the engine redline was lowered to 7,200 rpm.

2011 Koenigsegg Super Cars Edo Competition CCR Evolution have a over haul gear transmition change to six speed gearbox transmition.it can produce rotation in just 3,700 rpm all the way up to 6,000 rpm,finely tuned directional stability beyond 300 km/h (186 mph) and a top speed that was reduced slightly from 390 km/h (242 mph) for phenomenal and significantly improved acceleration and drivability.

2011 Koenigsegg Super Cars Edo Competition CCR Evolution
To make changes, Edo Koenigsegg contacted to help with a modification ratio of the drive and remapping the ECU. After focusing on the setup of the two superchargers, they ensure that they can generate maximum power while providing a wider range of torque throughout the powerband, hitting the maximum torque earlier and actually reduces the rev limiter to 7200 RPM.

2011 Koenigsegg Super Cars Edo Competition CCR Evolution
The bottom line: edo competition has succeeded in upgrading this extremely rare exotic with fine details without watering down its distinctly unique character. However, the most impressive aspect is still the intense and violent acceleration, which is virtually unparalleled, even in the realm of supercars.
2011 Koenigsegg Super Cars Edo Competition CCR Evolution
Additional changes were made to the design of the vehicle’s interior and exterior. The wheels for example underwent a beauty treatment and received a coat of charcoal paint. The updated front with auxiliary lights now resembles the later CCR models, and the Alcantara material that was used throughout the Koenigsegg’s cabin provides a more luxurious feel. The redesigned center console now accommodates a new infotainment system including a reversing camera as well as a custom-made pouch for the immobilizer remote. For safety reasons a TPM system now informs the driver about tire pressures and temperatures. The display was integrated into the dashboard.
