HP offering Maybach notebooks
Asus uses the Lamborghini brand, while Acer snapped up Ferrari. Now HP has teamed up with Maybach to offer their own brand such notebooks. Configuration is not certain but the new model is supplied with Intel Core 2 Duo processor, built in SSD-store 64Gb and video adapter (presumably GeForce Go 7ххх or 8ххх), Bluetooth mouse as well as some form of exclusive carrying bag and an additional battery. Prices should be around $4000 USD.

Maybach Exelero! No matter how small your penis is, this car will make up for it:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maybach_Exelero
but the buggati veyron is.
with its 8 liter (aprox. 488 cubic inches) quad-turbo dual overhead cam (per cylinder bank, making for a total of 8 camshafts) 64-valve all-aluminium W16 (basically two audi/VW twin-turbo V8's bolted togehter to form a single powerplant) pushing out over 1000 brake horsepower at 6000RPM and over 920 (!!!) ft-lbs of torque at 2200RPM.
couple that to a 7 (!) speed paddleshit (DSG) gearbox with two (!) clutches, and a rather tricked-out all-wheel-drive sytem and aerodynamics package and you get a peice of machinery that from a complete standstill will hit 96 km/h (60 mi/h) in 2.5 seconds, 160 km/h (100 mi/h) in 6 seconds, 240 km/h (150 mi/h) in 11 seconds, 320 km/h (200 mi/h) in 22 seconds (from a complete standstill, mind you...), and will go on to an electronically limited top speed of 407 km/h (253 mi/h).
what it will do without the electronic limiter is pretty much any one's guess, but as far as i know the fastest anyone's ever managed to get it up to is 415 km/h (257 mi/h).
As for the fastest car, yes...the veyon is the fastest car, but its more of a trophy car than something you can drive, at 1.6million, while the Koenigsegg or the Saleen S7 TT can reach around 245-250 (OC the car!) and cost only 600k.
they are basically the luxury class of Mercedes, despite the fact that Mercedes cars are already packed with luxury features. Theyr also tanked, they run high horsepower engines, and despite their weight can offer some serious grunt to the ride :D.
Theyr like a Bentley, only more modern shaped.
BTW, your gonna love this

I wish this is my garage:

i wish i had jay leno in my garage :( :roll:
Chargers are beasts...
Buy both, and when you drive out of your driveway and the first one runs out of petrol, you can jump in the next car and hit 300km/h for a few metres until that car runs outta petrol, and then you can just use the cars aerodynamics to roll to your destination :D

However, the theoretical top speed being 257mph is true, i just thought theyd said in top gear that it was capable of more than 260mph on their first review of the car. But nvm.
edit: yep the above claim is purely hearsay
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bugatti_Veyron#The_.223000_horsepower.22_claim
edit2: Okay, i understand this claim now and also how absurd it is. It would be akin to saying my cardboard box has 3000hp because it burns that much chemical energy in petrol per second. However, all of it is lost to thermal dissipation and conversion to light energy. Its a pretty stupid claim.

I read that article, from Jeremy, and for every "marvel" he stated, it more of a glued up car of multiple design. i can see another car company already having it. For example the Saleen S7, it body design is made in a way in which faster you drive, more down force it gets. This technology is also seen in many topfuel drag cars. Porsche and their retractable spoiler..duh..fuctional maybe not as much but still there, rally cars and their skirts so they dont twist in high speed turns and when in the air. engine...come on, well all know about the suzuki escudo pikes peak with two v6, twin turbo forged to make a nice 1000 bhp w12...
