A truly lovely super-car, with the majority of models pumping out 375 horses with easy sub 5 second 0-60mph a gorgeous car this really is.
You might dream of having money to burn but hold that thought, with the current UK car market as it is, good used models can be found for as little as 32k depending on model. Sound a bargain in fact, “I’ll have two” there is a catch though and that’s the running costs.
In truth no Ferrari is cheap to run, a minor service will cost around the £750 mark, full 12,000-mile service £1500, tyres at £1200 per set and the cam belts changing at least every 3 years regardless of mileage for about £1500. On top of this you have the massive insurance premiums and equally massive fuel consumption. So why bother? It’s a Ferrari, even for a moment in life to own a Ferrari surely makes it all worthwhile, check out this awesome bit of footage the Ferrari 355 and the Lamborghini Diablo.

The Typhoon Eurofighter has a top speed of Mach 2, around 1440mph depending on height and conditions. It is powered by Two Eurojet EJ200 turbofans, each delivering a maximum of 20,250lb of thrust. Quite impressive; but it is weighed down with a 27mm Mauser cannon and a massive range of Air-to-Surface and Air-to-Air missiles. So just how would it perform against a Bugatti Veyron, the behemoth car of millionaires, the street legal 250mph+ 0-60 in sub 2.5 seconds, every schoolboy’s wet dream. Well let’s see.

Well that’s gonna really cost, but if you can afford a Bugati Veyron in the first place the chances are you’re not gonna loose too much sleep. The £700,000 ($1.3M dollar) prang apparently happened just south of London.

This 1000hp mid-engine, all-wheel drive 2-door coupe is powered by a 7993 cc; call it 8litre, DOHC 64-valve W16engine. This enormous power gives for some very impressive performance figure 0-60mph in a fraction under 2.5 seconds and also even more impressive is that Bugati claims it will brake from 250mph in under 10 seconds, about the same time as it takes to cover a standing quartermile.
