Carbon fiber Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M

So, do you have an extra $650,000 to spare? If you do, then you might fancy this piece of carbon fiber goodness.

This, dear friends, is a carbon fiber 2009 Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M and for the aforementioned price tag, you can drive home with it and be the envy of just about everybody who sees you behind the wheel of this car. It’s completely one-of-a-kind. It’s got Tubi-sourced titanium exhaust tips, redesigned alcantara and leather interior, full-screen navigation system, front and rear view cameras, and factory designed carbon fiber wheels. Best of all, the car only has a grand total of 126 miles on its odometer.

And did we forget to mention the carbon fiber body, which was commissioned by the car’s last owner from no less than Maranello’s premier bodywork specialist Carrozzeria Zanasi? Yeah, the car comes with that, too.

In the unlikely event that you’re reading this and you own an island somewhere in the Pacific, then you can probably drop by the Ferrari dealership in Beverly Hills, fork over the $650,000 and be on your way.

SportCars 2012 Nissan GT- R Alpha 9

While everyone else has been tinkering around, waiting to discover the next new detail on the 2012 Nissan GT-R, AMS Performance has been working on a package for the GT-R R35 that will just blow you away! The package is called the Alpha 9 and will catapult the standard 530hp found on the current GT-R R35 to a mind-boggling 650hp! Now, that’s an upgrade!

Adding this much extra power will inevitably bring better performance numbers. The Nissan GT-R is now capable of running the quarter mile in 10 seconds at 138 mph setting a new pump gas R35 GT-R 1/4 mile record. This does confuse us, however, because back in May we reported on a GT-R R35 that did the quarter mile in 9.62 seconds. We have to wonder if these two know about each other.

Next to the engine upgrade, the Alpha 9 package also includes a 90 mm exhaust system, upgraded billet wheel ball bearing turbochargers, new turbo inlet pipes, a front mount intercooler upgrade, and custom calibrated MAF sensors. The tuner can also add catalytic converters for the downpipes and a substitute race mid-pipe which removes the muffler as an option.

Of course, if you want to drive a sports car that can set a new world record, you will have to pay $21,999 for the package.
