Koenigsegg Agera R

Koenigsegg, the Swedish “hypercar” manufacturer, is muscling its way toward Bugatti Veyron territory with its new Agera R, an even more potent version of the pre-production Agera prototype that it displayed at last year’s 2010 Geneva Auto Show.

The Agera R features a larger 5.0-liter version of Koenigsegg’s twin-turbocharged V8, rated at up to 1,115 horsepower when running on E85 ethanol and 885 pound-feet of torque.

Koenigsegg says the Agera R has a “theoretical top speed” of around 273 mph, although it is electronically limited to 233 mph. The company adds that the speed governor “can be unlocked for shorter periods of time, if all necessary conditions are met, such as road condition, tire wear, service level of car” and so on.

Mazda MX 5

While it requires some nifty manoeuvring to get inside the MX 5, it is surprisingly comfortable once you’re settled in place.

This close to the ground the headroom appears generous and the sporty recaro seats are supportive and luxurious to the touch.

Storage is limited but clever and the retractable roof has its own cavity so the boot is able to handle that overnight bag or a couple of shopping bags with the top up or down.

Mercedes Apprentices tuck a full-size V8 in a small B-Class B 55

According to recent news, a team of trainees at the Rastatt plant in Germany has presented the B 55 in an altogether new dimension with a V8 engine and rear-wheel drive.

B-Class B 55

The idea of converting a B-Class into a 289kW V8-powered rear-wheel drive was conceived by plant manager Peter Wesp.
