Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster

In 2019, Hennessey began the story of its new convertible car, the Venom F5 Roadster, which was recently unveiled at Monterey Car Week. It is the fastest and most powerful convertible in the world, which will be produced in only 30 copies.

The Venom F5 Roadster is based on the Coupe version of this model, and comes with an 8 kg removable carbon roof panel covered in Alcantara. Owners can choose a Merino wool travel bag to store the panel in. At the back is a new tempered glass window that provides a view of the engine. What separates it from the Coupe are the specially made forged aluminum wheels with seven pairs of spokes that look like the letter “H”.

“We created the Venom F5 to be the ultimate expression of a hypercar. The Roadster version takes the Coupe’s speed, exhilaration, and awe, plus a sprinkling of respect-inducing fear, to a new, truly visceral level that brings owners closer to the Venom F5’s extreme performance,” said company founder and CEO John Hennessey. .

Under the hood is a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 1,817 hp (1,336 kW) and 1,193 lb-ft (1,617 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a robust automated single-clutch gearbox. Hennessey claims that this supercar can reach a top speed of 300 mph (483 km/h), which is significantly faster than the current speed record (265.6 mph) held by the GT Spyder.

The starting price of the Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster is $3 million, which is almost $1 million more than the Coupe version.

Mercedes-AMG G63 in “Algorithmic Fade”

One of the most popular tuners in the world, Mansory, presented a special equipment kit for the latest generation of the G-Class, the Mercedes-AMG G63, called “Algorithmic Fade”.

The exterior of the car is decorated with a turquoise color that flows from front to back into black, truly remarkable. It is part of the individualization strategy called “Mansory Bespoke” which brings a lot of carbon fiber parts such as a new front bumper, roof spoiler, front lip, hood, air intake housing and other components.

Inside, the entire interior is done in a single color. The front and rear seats, floor mats, door panels, dashboard, steering wheel and ceiling are covered with specially made turquoise Feroza leather. There are also carbon inserts on the armrests, doors and dashboard, while the Mansory logo and lettering are on the door sills.

The standard Mercedes-AMG G63 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 585 hp (430 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. However, Mansory thanks to a remapped ECU, a new exhaust system and a downpipe has increased the power of the engine which now delivers 850 hp (625 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. That’s plenty of power to propel the G63 to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). It is mounted on a set of black 24 inch wheels.

The first Singer Porsche 911 Turbo Study Cabriolet

Singer Group is known for restoring the 911 models to their original state, using the best parts in multigenerational evolution, to create the perfect car. Until now, all cars were with a hard top. However, that changed as Singer recently unveiled its first 911 Cabriolet as part of its Turbo Study.

“Our goal with the Turbo Study is to distill the awesome thrill of Porsche’s first ‘supercar’ while reimagining its performance and refinement. We’re excited that owners can now choose to enjoy these traits with the roof down,” said the company’s founder and CEO, Rob Dickinson.

The company is focused on making unique examples in cooperation with their owners. This time it’s a Porsche 911 (930), and the inspiration was the first Porsche Sport 356/1, which was also a convertible. “I’ve long wanted to celebrate that part of Porsche heritage at Singer and doing so as part of our recently announced Turbo Study seems a perfect place to start,” said Dickinson.

The carbon body is painted in Cadiz Red, and the car is equipped with improved suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. Inside, there are sports electrically adjustable carbon seats with fabric. The fabric can also be seen on the door panels. In front of the passenger on the dashboard is a “Singer” inscription.

Under the hood is the engine from his first reimagined 911 Turbo Study. It is an air-cooled 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 510 hp (375 kW), which is 60 hp (44 kW) more than the first delivered Singer 911 Turbo in the Touring edition. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. Also on offer will be an engine with 450 hp (330 kW), and AWD as an option.
