Now this next one was directly beside the swamp boat and within “arms reach”

A few little ones…

… and I personally like the pointers they give you to never run, stand your ground, fight back, etc. The funny thing is that it didn’t really sink in while I was actually in front of the sign reading it, but you have to wonder how many sightings, close encounters, and/or attacks had to occurr in this park to warrant the posting of a sign like this.

Maserati’s Gran Turismo is a true “Grand Tourer” in the purist sense. Of course there is the usual bevy of specs such as 0-60 time, engine displacement, top speed, wheelbase and the like – but does it really matter? Maserati’s new coupe has such arresting lines that it causes any rational car buying logic to be ineffective. There’s something to be said for Italian design and more specifically Italian designer Pininfarina whose design house has several pieces highlighted on these pages. First we highlighted the Birdcage 75th, then the Ferrari P4/5, and now the Gran Turismo…

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Supercar use to hold the title of being the fastest production vehicle in the world until the SSC Ultimate Aero TT recorded a top speed of 257 MPH thus dethroning the venerable Veyron. Not to be outdone, Bugatti now has another “Fastest In The World” production vehicle – a roadster version of the Veyron. If that $2.2M/€1.4M is just burning a hole in your pocket, then you may just be able to reserve one of the 150 Veyron Roadsters that are scheduled for production.

Not very long ago we featured the highly anticipated Bugatti Veyron, a 1001 HP Supercar which at the time held the title of being the worlds fastest production vehicle capable of achieving 252 mph. Now note the usage of the world “held”, as in past tense.

Enter the Shelby Super Cars Ultimate Aero TT. An American made, 1183 HP monster that now lays claim to the fastest production car moniker with an observed top speed of 257 mph.

Top Speed Data…
