Katie Price Buys A Bugatti Veyron, Plans To Paint Pink
Oh, the tragedy! Many Americans can not be too familiar with Katie Price, but more than in the United Kingdom, the price is widely known for his television appearances, his lackluster career as a singer, and has published books. So many hobbies, we can only imagine that this little slut has a lot of money, which is evident in his new toy, the Bugatti Veyron.
Price arranged for £ 1 million - or about $ 1.6 million in exchange rates - in this beautifully-car super fast, and he intends to ruin it with painting rose to meet his other vehicles. Yes, pride is the other pink cars. A source close to him said: "He hates gasoline by turning the end of the world so beautiful, iconic pink car, but at least his match other cars .." It just goes to show that money can not buy taste.
Besides the high cost of supercar, it seems prices have also purchased a rather expensive plate "F1" license. The Sun says nothing on the plate F1 hit right at the front of the car, but it seems very similar to the license plate auction in 2008 for Afzal Kahn (Kahn Design owner) for £ 440,000 (about $ 880 000). We do not know for sure, but with the amount of money thrown around price, we would not be surprised.

They followed with a 1.4 liter turbo, which jumped to 160 HP 210 HP. If the jump in power is not enough of these two engines, they managed to keep the fuel consumption is exactly the same.

2011 McLaren F1 GTR Review
2011 McLaren F1 GTR was built at the request of race teams, such as those owned by Ray Bellm and Thomas Bscher, to compete in the BPR Global GT Series, the McLaren F1 GTR is a custom built race car which introduced a modified engine management system that increased power output – however, air constraints mandated by racing regulations reduced the power back to 600 hp (447 kW) at 7500 RPM. Extensive car modification including changes to body panels, suspension, aerodynamics and interior. The McLaren F1 GTR will go to take the greatest achievement with 1, 3, 4, 5, and a place to 13th in 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, beating custom built prototype sports cars. In total, nine McLaren F1 GTRs will be built for 1995.
To follow up the success of the McLaren F1 GTR into 1996, McLaren further develop the ’95 model, leading to increase in size but weight loss. Nine more F1 GTRs built to 1996 spec, while some 1995 cars still campaigned by privateers. McLaren F1 GTR ’96 chassis # 14R is important as the first non-Japanese car to win a race at the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC). The car was driven by David Brabham and John Nielsen. Weight reduced by about 100 kg of GTR edition 1995 and maintained Detuned engine at 600 HP to comply with racing rules.
Acura TL A-Price
The 2012 model gets a new six-speed automatic transmission with both engines, which through its high-tech design allows double-kick-down shifts and contributes to slightly better fuel economy.
The TL’s double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension are effective, but Acura improves ride quality and road-holding further by employing dual-stage “blow off” style hydraulic suspension dampers, hydro-compliant bushings for mounting the transmission and key suspension components and a high-tech engine mount design.
The SH-AWD model receives special rate coil springs and unique damper tuning. When you drive the TL you can appreciate these invisible components going about their jobs under the car.
This TL starts good and just gets better the more you add to it. My SH-AWD model sported both the Tech Package and the Advance Package. The former brings in those sensational and admired seats as well as a fully featured navigation system with voice recognition and real-time traffic and weather. The potent sound system, along with extra insulation for silence, gives you a portable concert hall as you go about your merry way.
The Advance Package comprises sporty 19-inch wheels and a blind-spot information system. These systems, which are proliferating the industry, help prevent those all-too-common incidents where drivers don’t see their neighbors and pull into the lane next to them, causing an accident. It’s hard to imagine why you’d buy the TL without these packages, but you can.
The TL is assembled in Marysville, Ohio, site of the original Honda manufacturing plant — the first Japanese auto plant in the U.S. — which opened in 1982. So this Japanese-brand vehicle, made in America, is out to fight the Germans. That’s today’s international automotive scene.
The TL, without any additional stuff, starts at $37,465. My upscale tester, with both packages, came to $45,945. That’s a lot, but the car’s loaded and increasingly offers an alternative to the German sport sedans against which it has been very carefully designed to compete.
