Paul Carberry, down in Australia, had the idea of adding another cylinder and creating a V-Twin out of the basic engine, doubling displacement, giving it a satisfying sound and getting a nice performance increase at the same time.</div>

The <b>Type 35 Grand Prix </b>was by far the most successful racing model. The unmistakable radiator grille and eight-spoke aluminum wheels of the Type 35 have become defining features of the Bugatti automobile. In its day, the Grand Prix was also well ahead of its time in terms of engineering ingenuity. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1943257362"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8RW3S9xpukQ44CItUj3bFfQg_7eylf1IzC0ybOO6s1w2E8jmVtdltI99Rl9lCHKN60H64iBG7gWzGrS-kGczLPrwRFQ87wnRBEDqhYTuYj0-NRaYNjlsxz9IfuJf4AvWU8nvX0VtgFOQ/s400/2009-Bugatti-Veyron-Type-35-Grand-Prix---Bugatti-Sports-Cars-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The front axle design of this vehicle, which, for reasons of weight minimization, is hollow, is a true masterpiece of workmanship and was deemed nothing less than revolutionary. Its springs were passed through the axle to produce a high level of stability. The Grand Prix’s brake drums were integrally fitted into its lightweight aluminum wheels. Unfastening the central wheel nut allowed the wheel to be easily removed within a matter of seconds and the brake to be exposed. This was a crucial advantage at the pit stop.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1943257362"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdphURufgvjHcQbqc1jmCjgrU9QqnkweqZxawBIgjeVULJINhD3eJ_Ht5qEgDJjmonsZBnoyCZjf1e1ymkE5kxsY0PVUAWj4UwsWHTLB0SVb-ClOwAEwFzlvDFKkEKThCQhgurVxkQHOE/s400/2009-Bugatti-Veyron-Type-35-Grand-Prix---Bugatti-Sports-Cars-10.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The blue racers made their first appearance on the race track at the Grand Prix held by Automobil Club de France in Lyon in 1924. In the decade that followed, they remained practically unchallenged thanks to sophisticated manufacturing efforts, their lightweight design and easy handling.

In fact, in the 1920s, Europe was regularly host to a number of different races in different countries on a single weekend. The teams set up by different automobile manufacturers competed at popular race circuits such as Targa Florio, Le Mans, Monza and Spa as well as in Rome, Nice, Antibes and even a village in Alsace.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1943257362"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWI_YQCCqevAIvltr73j5-nKib_T6tLGOVZD9BpJ-zQ9uqCEncu4g-xV_W8AeyFMkGXp7E2UgTkNopsR20m4hrEuDD_P4msnAdqLQxr49AczuAvHb7IfVoZFVXhk_WfPcm8QXIzS2cQDQ/s400/2009-Bugatti-Veyron-Type-35-Grand-Prix---Bugatti-Sports-Cars-5.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The main reason Bugatti won such an enormous number of races – on the back of which successes the brand was also able to forge its image – was the fact that Bugatti sold not only its normal sports and touring cars to private buyers, but its racing cars too.

Thus in keeping with its status as a rare breed, production of the SLR Stirling Moss will be limited to only 75 units and, to further prevent your uncultured, peasant hands from touching it, each unit will be priced at a cool $1.04 million (€750,000).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_747554278"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-E_5OCVIgcZxdq9QMJ5VoOeNlyDJZ9WCF49quuLL7b6IbyUQWApL_drkTg25S9W6bBoRRRsPNWGuShVPUZxeZcCJMM3wxn0cFzOoGI_NvOiRGMna7FaUdO_RNu5veMu4Wy0Y-QkYy5vg/s400/2009-Mercedes-Benz-McLaren-Sports-Cars-SLR-Stirling-Moss-6.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is why the modern-day version of the legendary SLR carries the additional words “Stirling Moss” in its name.

Although it sets new standards in terms of technology, performance and excitement – just like its forebears – it is aimed at individuals who have exquisite requirements and nurture very special dreams.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_747554278"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtEceB6a-RSgZ8JxZZHSakN4fIr7Rj0y_MKYVBAK-5783uiMtBkyZdbc-3zyqMH4kCw3MZEX5wy6-qC5NpdFzJKlrrtY01q4c7CPcHI1A5XtehrVy47JUvcP_L2StbWXvbYcgVk6TSbFg/s400/2009-Mercedes-Benz-McLaren-Sports-Cars-SLR-Stirling-Moss-7.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Remaining totally true to the specifications of the 300 SLR, the new Silver Arrow’s equipment is extremely sophisticated and yet at the same time decidedly spartan, doing without both a roof and side windows. There are just two wind deflectors a couple of centimetres in height to protect the driver and passenger from the airflow. Two air scoops integrated into the bodywork serve as roll-over bars. With this extreme concept the new SLR Stirling Moss is visually very different from all the other vehicles which belong to the elite sports car class.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_747554278"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEink0GNfNTTEhx6UpwR-uDzNEQHAj3WQbAlyO48InEQWT3TiEaeHLngLOhpSDH3x8s4LjrCrT9VUvV8vEC7jUlhfiUBxJRf9YeHmtkjCxUhe-3vrdkUN3e0yWJjO1gzLGUNwLT_Sz3cugY/s400/2009-Mercedes-Benz-McLaren-Sports-Cars-SLR-Stirling-Moss-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just like the legendary racing vehicles of yesteryear, the SLR Stirling Moss dazzles with its superlative performance. Accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and with a top speed of 350 km/h this puristic high-performance sports car denotes completely new dimensions in open-top driving. And not just because of the impressive performance figures; every time drivers take to the wheel of the SLR Stirling Moss their senses are addressed with a previously unheard of intensity, conveying a driving experience in its purest and most sensual form. This automotive thoroughbred thus facilitates the kind of open-air feeling that is utterly unique for a road-going vehicle.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_747554278"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpifAJDeqBsuyV_5FWOF2WLZT4REPKzIWxAmbs9gCJKVDm-5O2ATYEikqbYNaegI0p-xeA77C36pfK_AkApnWgXrcyMFfe3g2zz6FKz4if3RZMEbIRjNB1lTuTIgtUNhq5l7tinFBOqVw/s400/2009-Mercedes-Benz-McLaren-Sports-Cars-SLR-Stirling-Moss-5.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Developers working on the Stirling Moss were able to fall back on a wealth of experience gathered when producing the SLR Coupé and Roadster, in particular where the technical base was concerned, with its extravagant carbon-fibre design, high-performance suspension and throaty V8 engine. The common denominator uniting the Stirling Moss with the other members of the SLR family is the aerodynamic concept with a closed underbody and a diffuser in the rear bumper for maximum possible downforce at the rear axle – with one difference: the diffuser here is considerably larger than that on the coupé and roadster.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_747554278"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYGX4GpiAtwiKOBdkr_E5cQ6CrcThbDi34YSba8NQ220T1Sx79L9Dek4rk_eEiIeJo4XmqxPjz5OdInjAjlq7SKfZ-qkbOFkLded8rJeDnP6mNWtwWj5zMsSVkAJYQDqPAuEWRTb_V2SM/s400/2009-Mercedes-Benz-McLaren-Sports-Cars-SLR-Stirling-Moss-11.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The new SLR Stirling Moss is the kind of high-calibre speedster coveted by the sporting gentry and enthusiasts alike. At the same time it is a collector’s item which marks the pinnacle of an era and, for the foreseeable future, at least, the final curtain for the SLR. In May 2009 production of the SLR models will cease; only a total of 75 units of the Stirling Moss will be manufactured between June and December 2009, bearing chassis numbers from 1 to 75. Not only does this exclusive vehicle represent the conclusion of the current SLR family; it also serves as a very special thank you to the most loyal of SLR customers, for they are the only ones able to acquire a Stirling Moss.</div>

This exclusive special model also features an aerodynamic-enhancement kit developed in the wind tunnel, three-piece 21-inch wheels with matching sports suspension, a high-performance brake system and exclusive interior options.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_69057632"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9x7UWp07Cn20wbpI1NSkCz96B0TKGosvpxNLnIFzIklWB5lG0vIZLGRc7Pj6A5RSQb1yF-Yott3eClA8n5_QyO9Z7AsEUV99-JKSxtltBDKH9ShDo2JERQ4OwwdWjA_479yLaxk5mp0w/s400/2010-Novitec-Rosso-Sports-Cars-599-RACE-848-8.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The NOVITEC ROSSO RACE 848 is powered by an evolutionary stage of the tried and proven twin-compressor engine conversion for the six-liter V12 four-valve engine of the F599. For an additional power increase of 40 hp / 29.4 kW both mechanical chargers were fitted with modified turbine blades, several details of the engine peripherals were modified and the engine electronics were reprogrammed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_69057632"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNPvtcN8QhiWeq0QEiOQVUxEF5J2Bpm6hvJ1VqO2EAJe-HVa4ICRUOtyOULnjXu_Jn-wg_YyyrIZU-fGZD3eZ4uMlBzxlpOQOkt5DEtHGaZ0_dQgNSGv8Se14rQ9KM-sRmOm2v9CSoeN0/s400/2010-Novitec-Rosso-Sports-Cars-599-RACE-848-9.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The high-performance chargers have an electronically limited boost pressure of 0.48 bars. The chargers are driven by a cogged belt and have their own dedicated oil circuit. A large water-to-air intercooler with dedicated water circuit also contributes greatly to the optimal power yield. A custom-developed intake manifold, high-performance injectors and sport air filter round out the engine conversion.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_69057632"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0brwjV02H1MF5w7HQ94GpM9ifE87IodY5Hs41ZiQvWqUOXUV2Jc2ltpd-weRtm99RUEImbocMXgoMcgmapmhmePExuPYC75t46LeKB_4ch-7REgyd-jb0yIBZxAo2yxMXp3ysPgFIOrI/s400/2010-Novitec-Rosso-Sports-Cars-599-RACE-848-11.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, high-performance headers custom-designed for the compressor engine and the NOVITEC ROSSO stainless-steel quad sport exhaust system with a pipe diameter of 90 millimeters are also installed. The intensity of the exhaust note can be adjusted with a little switch on the steering wheel called the ‘manettino.'</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_69057632"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlfzla0yUkG3G6WWCZFREQw8wj7HNR9x6kIYrHDRBqznhbF7DQKoIL-FzVSwlqjhyphenhyphenQDlJ_1E7VTgy4w-HXWVlgesGOtslsp4Sfpfia8Bw0lCogY8DA5JcrIDLWIPSEhyHEDHLxcjjNDP0/s400/2010-Novitec-Rosso-Sports-Cars-599-RACE-848-6.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The NOVITEC ROSSO RACE 848 specification represents a power increase over the production engine of 228 hp / 167.8 kW to 848 hp / 624 kW at 7,900 rpm. Simultaneously peak torque grows by 234 Nm to 842 Nm at 6,300 rpm.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_69057632"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCsRDlo27xrik6MIvoDuUem1KfYifMkqRJWAFeAEKqmfMe_-vgwy0sL8hKcqJC8f5SyTy-bTSM7xNWHah7VsqTxmJFq8p94O6pJrc-J7TXQiv476zI9uHSzn0MwK3bstuc0-uTf-kNuDc/s400/2010-Novitec-Rosso-Sports-Cars-599-RACE-848-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Longer carbon-fiber NOVITEC ROSSO shift paddles make shifts of the six-speed F1-Superfast transmission even quicker and more precise. The gearbox also plays a major part in the superior performance of the car. Acceleration from rest to 100 km/h takes just 3.4 seconds, the sprint to 200 km/h a mere 9.6 seconds. With a sprint time for 0 - 300 km/h of just 23.7 seconds the NOVITEC ROSSO RACE 848 solidifies its position among the world's fastest-sprinting sports cars. The car reaches a top speed of more than 345 km/h.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_69057632"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWJLF9tOsmjJ1B65Vuatc5b-fzrOLYzOyTEzoEVIAZgXmX2_kUcY79U8hbrXofphRcwMMwy0jGu8b4xvuken5rIp6FNMZ5-Z6dLcSiF_SA-m_vpQv61kGh0HIlDYRLzwEQQpY_7ExW8Bw/s400/2010-Novitec-Rosso-Sports-Cars-599-RACE-848-1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This level of performance places highest demands on well-balanced aerodynamic properties which received their finishing touches in the wind tunnel. The NOVITEC ROSSO front spoiler lip reduces lift on the front axle. The rear apron is upgraded visually and aerodynamically with a rear diffuser. The NOVITEC ROSSO rear wing further increases downforce.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_69057632"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWyF0ky3qlNIFJl2z9XwvoQWFuo-j_3nGfpACdqWGgpPkYLn79Zyi0kLoo3u_HmJns4uuTesVUvw2ZtasWMNLG1yK_6-NuAyCWuOboHy8EXGTHIx61FwmDKHKkKFOZQ14_30j7kQwvVpE/s400/2010-Novitec-Rosso-Sports-Cars-599-RACE-848-4.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The high-performance equipment also includes three-piece NOVITEC ROSSO NF3 wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero high-performance tires. The alloy wheels with five double spokes measure one inch diameter more than the production wheels. The front axle features size 9Jx20 wheels with size 275/30 ZR 20 tires. Size 12.5Jx21 wheels and size 355/25 ZR 21 tires on the rear axle provide excellent traction.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_69057632"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdTtZfXAF9yACUPZ4HfYZ12Xzimztop2mFWxRiMlSaFR8UDyp0FA9KnCDGwD2nZw1jOpiE266y9v-Sn9eA3HCJ05-m1s-JeFuoMF_OUhT-UjHhpfRaRwJ5j6VGPzPjOKKTVHoBXyvc1hE/s400/2010-Novitec-Rosso-Sports-Cars-599-RACE-848-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The height-adjustable NOVITEC ROSSO sport suspension also allows the damping rates to be set to the individual preferences of the future owners of the super sports car. The suspension's lift function on the front axle can be activated with a push of a button in the cockpit. It raises the front of the vehicle by 40 millimeters to safely navigate such obstacles as speed bumps or parking garage ramps. Upon reaching a speed of 80 km/h the suspension automatically reverts to its original drive position.</div>
