New cars this week
Aston Martin v12 Speedster
If you love the Ferrari Monza SP1/2 but a die-hard Aston Martin fan on the inside, then great news! Inspired by the US F/A-18 fighter jet, their V12 Speedster amalgamates bits from LeMans winning Astons from the vault. Powered by a mid-mounted 5.2 liter twin-turbo V12 churning out 700hp through an 8 speed ZF gearbox, the absence of a windscreen is sure to warp a helmetless driver's face, Jeremy Clarkson style. They are only making 88, one of which can be yours for the price of 3 well-furbished apartments in Dhanmondi.
Koenigsegg Gemera
The Swedish car maker with a tongue twister of a name wanted to make it's first 4 seater, 2.0 liter 3 cylinder hybrid. Something akin to a Prius. Except for Mr. Koenigsegg completely missed the memo, and has made a family car for The Jetsons instead. As the first in a new segment, the Gemera Mega-GT with its 1.27 megawatts of power (that's 1700bhp) and 3500 Nm of torque, it is likely to hurl itself back to the future with its 100 km/h of 1.9 seconds. Fun for the whole family!
