Woah snaps this car looks like it's from some sort of sci-fi movie, BUT IT IS NOT. It's the SCC Ultimate Aero XT. Created by Shelby SuperCars, the Ultimate Aero XT will only be created about 5 times. They will feature special things like their proprietary 6.9 liter all-aluminum twin-turbo V8 engine and other things such as their advanced cooling power and seven speed transmission. With a jaw dropping 1,300 horsepower, this car will not disappoint in performance. The insane 1,004 foot pounds of torque and huge amount of horsepower allow this beast to climb to 60 miles per hour in just 2.65 seconds, and can hit 200 in a record setting 11.25 seconds! It maxes out at about 273 miles per hour. 

Its speed was tested at NASA one time.

Oh dang this car looks pretty nice. Wow so cool. It's a Bugatti Veyron. This is a mid-engine supercar developed by, well, Volkswagen, actually. The current iteration of this fancy car is considered to be the fastest street-legal production car in the entire world with it's top speed of roughly 267 miles per hour. Only about 150 models of this car are ever going to be produced. And it's pretty special because it doesn't even come with a standard roof, so it can look kind of like a 1.73 million dollar convertible if you choose to remove the roof, which you can do. Although, with the roof down the top speed is a slow 229 miles per hour. 

This beautiful 1200 hp beast accounts for quite a bit more than the Grand Sport convertible’s 1001; torque increases from 922 lb-ft to 1106 lb-ft, so, you know, that's only like almost 300 more foot pounds of torque than the best 2015 Ford F-350, which is a rather large TRUCK. Oh and look at that nice interior; fancy.

It's an RS7...that drives itself...that's it. Audi says its RS7 vehicle topped 149mph while driving itself around the Hockenheim racing circuit, near Frankfurt. The stunt was organised to highlight their efforts to bring "piloted driving" to consumer vehicles. Even though the car took only just over two minutes to complete a lap of the Grand Prix track, there are still several hurdles still needed to be overcome for Audi - a division of Volkswagen. The company also put a human behind the wheel of the self driving car to compare, he took a whole five seconds longer to complete the circuit. That car is so wonderful and smart. The company hopes to bring these exuberant innovations to the public eventually.

The Tesla Model S is different than most cars on the market today. It changes the way you view cars. The extremely powerful electric motor allows it to have more power than some sports cars while driving and handling like a high class sedan. All the power from the motor is there at a moment's notice. Unlike traditional gas engines, electric motors don't need time to output the max amount of power possible. The most expensive Performance Model can go from 0-60 mph in a mere 3.4 seconds! The Model S has had rear wheel drive, but now you can buy dual motor models with all wheel drive! It's among the highest rated cars ever. To get one, all you need to do is buy one off their website, there's no dealership bull crap that comes with every other car in America.

The Interior of this wonderful car is dominated by the 17" touchscreen. It gets software updates like a computer or phone over a cellular network so fixes to the car's performance can be fixed by software devs at Tesla and pushed right to your car in some cases. New  Dual Motor Tesla models come standard with autopilot functionality. Every single Model S now rolling out of the factory includes a forward radar, 12 long range ultrasonic sensors positioned to sense 16 feet around the car in every direction at all speeds, a forward looking camera, and a high precision, digitally controlled electric assist braking system. The car can freaking DRIVE ITSELF. It's amazing.

The McLaren P1 is perhaps one of the most advanced cars of our lifetime. Considered the successor to the McLaren F1, the P1 is a plug-in hybrid super car. Yeah! A HYBRID! The electric motor can be deployed manually by the driver or left in automatic mode, whereby the car fills the gaps in the gas motor's output (also considered turbo lag). This gives the power-train an effective power-band of almost 7000rpm of real wheel driven power. That's quite a bit of power. 

 The car can be operated using either the gas engine, the electric motor or with a combination of the two. The battery can be fully charged in two hours, charged by the engine or through a plug-in adapter. The P1 has an all-electric range of at least 6.2 mi (10 km). The P1 has a gasoline consumption of 4.8 gallons per 100 mi, and as a result, the P1 combined fuel economy in EV mode was rated by the EPA at 18 miles per gallon equivalent, 

The interior of the car is nearly as wonderful as the outside. Look at all those fancy screens and buttons. Beautifully understated.

The Agera R is a ridiculously luxurious hypercar. Made by Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg, the name "Agera" comes from the Swedish verb 'agera' which means "to act" or "to take action". Isn't that special?

The latest model has carbon fiber wheels and advanced aerodynamics. This combined with the car's engine capable of outputting over 1100 horsepower makes this beast able to top out at 273 mp/h (440 km/h) and 885 lb-ft. of torque. 

 The interior of the Agera R is lavishing. It's track inspired design, leather-upholstered seats and carbon fiber crafted parts all contribute to create a comfortable and maximum performing experience.

 The center stack is dominated by a glorious touch screen which allows the driver to control the climate, media, and navigation. The instrument panel consists of several small, configurable digital gauges housed in three main sections. These can be used by the driver to provide information including the car's fuel pressure, speed, oil and the water temperature. You can even set it to read out the amount of horsepower that the monster is outputting at any time. 

Yeah, so this is going to be my first car.
