Cooper T86 Maserati - Low down and Awesome

Cooper T86 Maserati - Low down and Awesome

Its not often you see a car like this, it appears like an old formula one car, but its got a few quirks. The low front defuser on this car adds a professional look and the crazy exhausts make it look like a batmobile. And oldie but a goodie this car - I like it!!!

  • Engine: Maserati Tipo 10 60º V 12
  • Power: 390 bhp / 291 KW @ 10000 rpm
  • Bhp per litre: 131 bhp / liter
  • Power to Weight Ratio: 0.7 bhp / kg

Dodge Viper SRT 10 ACR

Dodge Viper SRT 10 ACR - Viper Baby!!!


When I first saw a viper I had the opinion that all american cars were useless - large under refined engines pushing out 1/10th the efficiency of the european equivalent. But perhaps cars and times have changed? Still don't know if many UK buyers will choose a viper over a ferrari or Merc SLR!
  • Engine: 90º V 10
  • Compression Ratio: 10.2:1
  • Power: 600 bhp / 448 KW @ 6100 rpm
  • Torque: 760 Nm / 561 ft lbs @ 5000 rpm
  • BHP/litre: 71 bhp / liter
  • Power to Weight Ratio: 0.39 bhp / kg
With statistics like that, and looks like this: it does make you have a little 'hmmm maybe' though
