My Tire Smoke Supercar And Executive Saloon Of 2010

The year 2010 has come to an end and so has our poll for the best super car and executive saloon of 2010.

The first award goes to the Lamborghini LP 570-4 superleggera for the My Tire Smoke supercar of the year. Based on Gallardo LP 560-4, the superleggera is the lightest car in the current Lamborghini lineup thanks to a strict diet of carbon fiber which allows the car to weight just 1340 kg. Powered by Lamborghini 5.2 liter V10 making 570hp, the car does 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and goes on for a top speed of 325 km/h.

The second award happens to be a tie between the Rolls-Royce Ghost and the BMW 7 series and surprisingly the Ghost sharing 20% of it's parts with the 7 series. Since the BMW F10 7 series has been under production since 2008 we have decided to let the Ghost take it this year.

Being the Rolls-Royce for the rich who can't afford a Phantom, the Ghost is cheapest car in the current Rolls-Royce lineup. Power comes from a 6.6 litre twin-turbo V12 with variable valve timing making 563 hp and 580 lb-ft torque. Hooked up to a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, it allows the 2740 kg Ghost to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.7 seconds and it goes until it hits its electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.

Happy New Year!

The Swiss tuner Manasory is back with another mean mugged Rolls Royce Ghost for the rich. But this time its not as flashy as the Ghost Gold edition we saw at the Geneva auto show. Mind this ultra limited edition car still has enough bling to make to the front pages of DUB magazine. This new white Ghost will be called the Ghost White Edition and only three people in the world will be lucky enough to get their hand on one of these examples. The Ghost White Edition still shares its bumpers, spoilers, side skirts ,air vents and rims design with the Gold Edition without the unique paint and gold touches. Manasory favored a white finish and unpainted 22-inch rims which look a whole lot better than the Gold Edition. 0 to 100km/h is done in 4.5 seconds which about 0.4 sec faster than factory Ghost and has a top speed of 290km/h (180mph) due to a revokes speed limit. Peer comes form a package that 638HP and 860Nm / 634.3 lb-ft of torque while the stock engine makes 570HP and 780Nm.
