    1500th Blog Post Featuring Cars With 1500bhp+

    I thought the perfect post for 1500 would be to feature a collection of some of the serious heavy hitters in the horsepower department. Anything with 1500hp or more deserves some spotlight on it…

    1) We all know my love for Lamborghini by now so what better way to start off this post with a completely bonkers 2000hp Lamborghini Murcielago. It is dubbed the LP2000-2 and has not only got a ridiculous power boost but also dramatic weightless will help rocket this car to some ridiculous numbers.

    2) The Bugatti Veyron Hyper Sport is expected to arrive this year at the IAA Motor Show. This 1600hp beast is expected to hit 100km/h in 1.8 seconds which would surely be better than the Ferrari F150 and the McLaren P1. With a weight saving of 250kg, one can expect this car to literally hurt you on acceleration. Looking forward to some more detail on this one!
    3)  Hennessey Performance are going to be releasing their GT2 which takes the horsepower figure up to 1500. Word at the moment is that it will do 100km/h in less than 2.5 seconds. Don’t expect this thing to come cheap as the indicative pricing is around the $1.25million mark.
    4) 1700hp from a Ford Granada? Some crazy man has put a Koenigsegg-style 1700hp twin turbo V8 into one. He wanted a Nissan GT-R but decided to do this? Hahahaha…
    5) The Moslet MT900S is an American car powered by a mid-mounted 435hp Corvette V8 but the guys at Nelson Racing fit a SBC 427 Twin Turbo engine made in house. This pushes the power up to a massive 1800hp which can be controlled on the steering wheel. It only weighs 1100kg so this must be an animal to control!
    6) Here we see a 2006 Ford GT that runs a twin-turbo motor with 1900hp. It smashed through the measured mile with a speed of 267mph (428km/h). Reminder that a Veyron only manahes 200mph so this is something that is quite special.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye πŸ˜‰ 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
