Bentley releases early footage of new biofuel supercar

Click above to watch video after the jump

Bentley has released a teaser video of its upcoming new "extreme" biofuel supercar, which we expect will use a version of the British firm's existing German-engineered twelve-cylinder engine adapted to run on ethanol. Although Bentley is trying hard to promote the green side of the flex-fuel equation, horsepower addicts will also find something to like from the new machine. Quite a bit more power can be extracted from ethanol when an engine has been properly tuned to run on the high-octane fuel, so it shouldn't be too surprising that the British automaker is claiming that its new coupe will be its most powerful production car ever, a title previously held by the 600-horsepower Continental GT Speed.
As with any flex-fuel engine, the car will be able to run on any mixture of gasoline and ethanol, and its on-board computer will adjust the timing to run properly and make as much power as possible. We're sure we'll get plenty more details before the car's official unveiling on March 3rd at the Geneva Motor Show, but for now, enjoy the video after the jump.

Aston Martin One-77 not really sold out

Rumors of its unavailability have been greatly exaggerated. Not long after Aston Martin announced the very limited production supercar called One-77, we got word that there were 100 orders for the car limited to 77 units. Yeah, well um, that's not so much true (c'mon we're not exact CNN here people.) Aston actually got 100 people who expressed interest in the car, but that doesn't equal sales (just because you can write a letter to Danica Patrick, doesn't mean she'll date you.) So there (...)

Aston Martin V12 Vantage

Aston Martin is performing a magic trick. It is plucking the 6.0-liter 510 hp engine out of the DBS, and is stuffing it in the smaller, lighter Vantage. Poof: the V12 Vantage is born. But don't get too excited just yet. Like most magic tricks, everything is not a whole as it seems. Autoblog is reporting that the addition of four cylinders to the Vantage has made the crash protection area too small to meet U.S. standards. So we will be a little sad when we see the car in-person for its (...)

These race cars are specifically defined for races and they cannot be used in normal conditions and on normal roads.

2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M - First Drive Review

Sixteen is a perfect square, in terms of integers. It’s the age you can get a driver’s license. The number of ounces in a pint. Joe Montana’s number. The fourth number in the ominous number sequence fromLost. Or, to a Ferrari Formula 1 fan, it is the number of constructor’s championships the manufacturer has won since the award was created for the 1958 season.

An Open-Top Tribute

To celebrate the 16th championship, which it won last year, Ferrari built the 430 Scuderia Spider 16M, an F430 drop-top with all the go-fast parts of the 430 Scuderia. Those bits include a higher-compression version of the 4.3-liter V-8 making 503 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque (80 percent of which is available at 3000 rpm), a race-tuned suspension, serving-dish-sized carbon-ceramic brakes, and the F1-Superfast2 automated manual transmission that enacts a one-two shift in 60 milliseconds. Just as in the 430 Scuderia, the interior is stripped of all comfort features. Carbon fiber and aluminum line the cabin. There is no carpet, just diamond-plate-style aluminum on the floor, accented by exposed welds. The carbon-framed seats are covered in weight-saving cloth and offer only manual fore-aft and seatback angle adjustments. The doors are skinned with carbon fiber as well. The only concession to luxury lives in the dash: a horizontally docked iPod touch, the sound from which is delivered to occupants via six speakers (yup, there’s a sound system on a track-ready Ferrari). But it’s a miracle you can even hear the thing, because this is quite possibly the loudest roadgoing car we have ever driven. With the engine going full-tilt, there is nothing but a visceral high-pitch scream, a sound which practically begs the driver to flog the car a little more. But be warned, after just one wide-open-throttle run through the first three gears, we quickly had the Polizia in hot pursuit.
