The possible Veyron killer – the Hennessey Venom GT

I think it can say that I was waiting for quite a long time for such a car namely a Bugatti Veyron killer and here we got. At the moment these words are not so sure but there are still some chances and at last, these two cars will compete very much namely the Bugatti Veryron and the Hennessey Venom GT.

First of all, you should know that this Hennessey Venom GT comes with a 6.2 liters LS9 V8 engine which is also placed on the Corvette ZR1 and it can develop up to 725 horsepower.

Anyway, the company will also give away engines of 1000 horsepower and also 1200 horsepower. You should also know that it can reach 60 miles per hour in 2.2 seconds having a top speed of 262 miles per hour. I think that you expect quite a big price and you’re right, the prices will jump around $600,000.

Volkswagen Golf GTI by Rieger

Volkswagen Golf GTI has received a new tuning package, this time from the Germans at Rieger. We are talking about an aesthetic package completed by a set of wheels and a sport exhaust system.

Rieger tuners have developed a new aesthetic package for Volkswagen Golf GTI. The package consists of a set of alloy wheels and a number of aesthetic elements made of fiberglass with ABS inserts. Some elements of this package are made of carbon fiber – such as the splitter for front bumper and the diffuser mounted in the rear bumper. For now, those of Rieger have not announced any details about a future performance package developed for the VW Golf GTI.

Rieger aesthetic package for VW Golf GTI contains a spoiler for tailgate’s door, a set of side sills with air vents and a set of OZ brand alloy wheels. The front wheels have a diameter of 20 inches and width 8.5 inches, while the rear axle wheels the same size. These wheels are fitted with 235/30 R20 tires.
