The new Audi R8 GT represents a smart step forward for the German brand’s flagship model.  This Audi R8 went on a carbon fiber diet to slim down 220 pounds from its predecessor, maximizing the output of its v10 engine.  The result pushes the GT model to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds, speeding from there to a top end limit of 199 mph.  If you want one for yourself, you’ll need to work out an import– the Audi R8 GT is for sale in Germany for roughly $256,000 after conversion to USD.

AudiR8大量加入碳纖維，相對舊版本車型減輕了220磅的體重，最大化V10引擎的輸出。加速到99公里/小時僅需3.6秒，而極速達318公里/小時。AudiR8GT在德國的售價為約256000美元。

 

The Italian design lab Stile Bertone released the Alfa Romeo Pandion Concept at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, one of the top concepts of the event.  Designed by Jason Castriota, the Pandion concept car is likely to never see production, but we hope that some of its inspiration winds up on the design table of production cars at Alfa Romeo.  The swooping side windows, the rugged rims, the subtle, angular grill all make the Pandion a lovely concept.

AlfaRomeoPandionConcept由意大利設(shè)計實驗室博通設(shè)計公司在2010日內(nèi)瓦車展發(fā)布。這款由JasonSastriota設(shè)計的新概念車很可能不會被量產(chǎn)。這款車擁有鷹式的車窗，粗獷的車胎鋼圈，精妙而棱角分明的車身。

 

You’re looking at the world’s fastest production vehicle, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport.  Without electronic limiting, this Bugatti can reach speeds of up to 270mph on the track, speed that no other production car can hope to match.  To keep the tires from falling apart under those speeds, Bugatti has limited the top to 258 mph which will outgun pretty much any vehicle on the road.  From where we sit, the only stat as impressive as the top speed is the price.  To park one of these in your own garage, you’ll need to shell out $2,300,000 base.  Once you’ve done that, you can shell out another $260,000 on a matching Bugatti Watch for this Super Sport.  Ahh, the lives on the wealthy…

這是世界上速度最快的已投產(chǎn)跑車，布拉迪威龍16.4SuperSport。在沒有電子制動的情況下，這臺布拉迪可以在跑道上達到432公里的時速，沒有任何一部投產(chǎn)跑車可以與之媲美。為了預(yù)防在此時速下脫胎，布拉迪限速413公里/小時。該款車售價約2300000美元。

 

Jaguar has revealed a new form of propulsion in the Jaguar C-X75 Concept at this year’s Paris Motor Show.  This sleek and curvy coupe is powered by a turbine-hybrid engine, which uses a pair of gas-fed turbines to drive an electric motor.  The twin 96hp turbines generate power sent to four 195hp electric motors in each wheel, combining for a total of 780hp in the power department.  The system is designed for long-range driving, capable of 560 mile jaunts on a single tank of fuel.  Oh, and it’s also capable of blinding speeds.  It’ll hit 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and it’ll top out at 205 mph on the open road.  Grrrrowl.

這輛線條優(yōu)美的小車采用渦輪式混合引擎（使用了一對氣體燃料渦輪驅(qū)動），這對96馬力的渦輪生成動力輸送給4個輪胎電動機每位195馬力，總計780馬力。這個系統(tǒng)專為長途駕乘而設(shè)計，一箱油就可支撐896公里的長途跋涉。加速到96公里/小時只須3.2秒，在寬廣的路上最高時速328公里/小時。

 

Also at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, Maserati revealed their new flagship, the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale.  The latest trident-branded beauty is a step forward in performance, capable of top speeds of 186 mph thanks to a new 4.2 liter V8 engine that delivers 450hp.  This Maserati, the fastest in their lineup, will be available in Europe in a few months for a converted price of $205,000 USD.

在2010巴黎車展，馬薩拉蒂透露了他們的新旗艦車型：MaseratiGranTurismoMCStradale。這款新車在性能上又邁進了一步，最新4.2升可提供450馬力的V8引擎使其最高時速達298公里/小時。售價約為205000美元。

Fisker Karma

 

The Fisker Karma hybrid luxury car is not new to 2010– but it’s production model is.  The production 2011 Fisker Karma was officially shown off in-the-flesh at the Paris Motor Show, three years after its conceptual reveal by Henrik Fisker.  This Fisker Karma is powered by a pair of electric motors that produce 403hp, plus a turbocharged 260hp gasoline engine for a total of 663 hybrid horses.  Based on your driving habits and the current power setting, Fisker claims that a pilot can pull 100 mpg out of this beast on the open road.  In terms of electric cars, the price isn’t bad either.  While the numbers are hard to nail down, you might be able to swing a 2011 Fisker Karma for roughly $88,000.  That makes it the most cost-effective sports car on this list.

本車概念于3年前被菲斯克·卡瑪透露，而在今年巴黎車展，菲斯克·卡瑪2011年生產(chǎn)車型被官方用flesh高調(diào)展出。本款車由一對可提供403馬力的馬達驅(qū)動，另有260馬力汽油發(fā)動機，總計可達到663馬力。售價約88000美元。

 

Yet another Paris Motor Show reveal, the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is the latest from this lusty Italian luxury brand.  The Sesto Elemento is a continuation of Lamborghini’s design philosophy of sharp, angular and “lo-fi digital” inspiration– and yet another success.  It’s powered by a V10 engine with 570 ponies, pushing this supercar to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds.  While the latest Lambo may only be a concept at present, it is rumored to be planned for a track build in the near future.

蘭博基尼SestoElemento是這家意大利奢侈品牌在巴黎車展上的最新車型。SestoElemento延續(xù)了蘭博基尼鋒利、消瘦、“低保真數(shù)碼”靈感的設(shè)計理念。該款車由570小馬的V10引擎驅(qū)動，可使這輛超級跑車瞬間在2.5秒內(nèi)加速到96公里/小時。雖然這款最新的蘭博基尼現(xiàn)在可能只是概念車，但據(jù)傳在不遠的將來投入生產(chǎn)。

 

 

The Hennessey Venom GT is as light as a feather, as stiff as a sword– and as strong as a bull as well.  The Venom GT is powered by a Corvette ZR1 engine fit into a Lotus Elise body, which is like dropping a barrel of dynamite into a thimble.  The vehicle only weighs 2,548 pounds, so that dual-turbocharged 1,200hp heartbeat puts up some performance numbers that can outpace pretty much any vehicle on this list.  The Hennessey Venom GT will hit 60mph in 2.9 seconds on its way to a blinding top end of 260 mph.  While there will only be a few of these on the road, it’ll cost you $1,000,000 to procure one.  The power is amazing, but the design feels a little too “electric razor” for our blood.  But hey, to each his/her own.

VenomGT是由適合蓮花狀車身的CorvetteZR1引擎驅(qū)動。該款車只重2548磅，而其1200馬力的心跳足以使她的多項性能參數(shù)超越這個清單上任何一輛。HennesseyVenomGT可在2.9秒內(nèi)加速至96公里/小時，最高時速416公里/小時。售價月100萬美元。
