Shelby Mustang GT500
Hammond looked a bit wretched here is something to cheer up the favorite diminutive muscle car fan a 700bhp Mustang from American tuning firm Randall Reed Ford.
The Mustang's 4.6-litre V8 has been beefed up from the standard 315bhp to a whopping 700bhp. With the present brace of giant turbochargers, a new high-flow exhaust and over and above, a remapped ECU.
The mean looking wheels are 20 inches along with 14 inch brakes underneath for supplementary stop ability. It appears that there's a body kit too.
Dissimilar to most aftermarket jobs, the Randall Speed Mustang will be made available through a handful of official Ford dealers in the US.

Mugen Civic Type R
Then though one had only seen the Japanese saloon version but here is the Brit-bound Type R hatch and it has a look every bit as mental as hoped.
One should check out that huge rear wing and the mortar like exhausts. The Type R has always been an appealing mad thing, the typical Civic is barmy enough but this takes things to a entire new level.
The power will be around 240bhp from a tuned up version of the Type R's naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine.
That is still quite short of the
Tougher brakes, stickier tyres and stiffer springs mean improved usage and the very genuine possibility of fusing vertebrae of all people together over a bumpy road.
It cannot still be recognized how many Mugen Type RS will reach the

Mercedes S-Class AMG
Mercedes has come up with its new S63 and S65 super limos. They're not intensely dissimilar to before, but one can't really go erroneous with a pair of shiny luxo supercars with well over 1,000bhp among them.
To be precise 1,137bhp.the S63 is power-driven by a 6.2-litre V8 putting out 525bhp and 465lb ft of torque, ideal for a 0-60mph time of around four and a half seconds and to 155mph a top speed limit.
If that's still a bit behind for one, the S65 - equipped with its 6.0-litre V12 - manages 738lb ft and 612bhp of torque, and will peg the 0-60mph sprint in well nigh four seconds dead.
Fuel consumption on both cars has been fractionally improved thanks to slip pier aerodynamics, though one will struggle in either to top 20mpg.
Exhilarating new tech includes the Torque Vectoring Brake, where the inside rear wheel can be slowed down autonomously of the outside rear wheel to avoid under steer, and a function of crosswind stabilization which keeps the S-Class to track straight ahead when buffeted sidewise.
Presence of the new night vision infrared camera can spot pedestrians in the road well ahead before the driver can spot.
Visually, the mainly prominent changes are a spangle new set of rear LED lights along with a pointier grille, but the AMG S still does the discreet, incredibly quick thing better than nearly anything else.
No comments on UK price tag yet, but expect them to remain comparable to the gregarious models, around £100,000 for S63 and £150,000 for S65.
