BUGATTI ON eBAY?
A Bugatti Veyron has popped up on eBay where the owner is selling it for under a million dollars with the ‘Buy It Now Price’ listed a $997,000. Less than a million for a Veyron? Sounds like a bargain, right? However, the Ve…yron that’s being sold is listed with a reading of 11,127 miles, which is pretty high considering that it’s a Veyron. Plus, maintenance of the car doesn’t exactly amount to grocery money either. So whoever is thinking of buying it would – at the very least – have to shell out thousands more for just the customary tune-ups.

CLASSIC RACERS
Rally cars have come in all shapes and sizes over the years. Many have become icons, but there are plenty of other less obvious cars that deserve our respect. One of these is the instantly recognizable 240Z. This is a replica of the 1973 winner of the East African Safari: the colours of the works cars are always popular choices as an inspiration for builders and the original inline-six always a joy to tune up. But this isn’t a Z that’s been tricked up to look like a proper rally car: it is a proper rally car. This 240Z has had some serious equipment installed inside, and is kitted out to handle the hardships that the modern long-distance versions for classics continue to present.

RIDE OR DIE…
By now, everybody’s aware of actor Paul Walker’s shocking and ironic death. The 40-year old star of the successful “Fast & Furious” franchise met his demise due to a fiery car crash while onboard a 2005 Porsche Carerra GT. Speed was a factor in the crash, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff. The car is said to be a notoriously difficult vehicle to handle, even for professional drivers, according to Autoweek magazine. Powered by a V-10, 610-hp engine, a top driver even called it “scary,” the magazine reported. Shown here is a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT (not the one involved in the accident).
SUPERCAR TROUBLES
Back in October, SRT was reported to have been experiencing poor demand of its Viper. Ralph Gilles, president and CEO of Chrysler’s SRT Brand and Motorsports, confirmed that they indeed had some problems at launch and this is why the company had to postpone initial deliver, but now the interest in the new Viper is very strong.
