Bugatti Veyron on sale for £1.2million 2010

One of the fastest cars on the planet, the Bugatti Veyron, is on sale in the UK - for a cool £1.2million.

It has a top speed of 253mph, one of the highest ever for a car designed for road use, and is the only one of its kind for sale in the UK at the moment.

Each of the 300 Veyrons cost a staggering £5million to build, so although this means a substantial loss on each one, Bugatti is said to be hoping it will emphasise the exclusivity of the brand.

British-built Acabion is fastest road vehicle

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo has been seen racing one in a TV advert for sportswear giant Nike, and footballers and millionaires are expected to fall over themselves to even get a viewing of the supercar.

There are thought to be only a dozen in the country, and it has taken pride of place at the Lamborghini Manchester dealership in Stockport and has already attracted a lot of interest.

"It would make an ideal Christmas gift but I think it's only going to appeal to footballers, celebrities, Russian billionaires or oil tycoons," said Mark Woore, sales manager at Lamborghini Manchester.

"You probably won't see it driving around the streets of Stockport as the insurance liability is too high.

"Anyone interested would have to go to our factory and arrange a test drive.

"It is awesome and a real piece of motoring history as no one will be able to replicate it. I won't be allowed to drive it. We have to keep it new for its lucky owner."

Security has had to be stepped up for the next week while the car - and its eight litre engine - remains at the showroom.

"We have to make sure it is very well protected so we have extra security including an alarm specifically for the area it is in," Mr Woore added.

However, the car's top speed is thought to be beaten by a 340mph "car", built with jet fighter technology and partly designed and built in Britain.

The Acabion GTBO reaches 300mph in just thirty seconds, say its designers, making it the fastest-ever road vehicle.

Inside, the car features a silver colour on the dashboard, centre console, seats and interior trim panels. As the Grand Sport Blue Carbon, this car was sold too for an impressive 1.65 million euros (ex works). Photo gallery after the jump!

Lamborghini Top 5 Cars 2010

Automobili Lamborghini was founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini, the child of viticulturists from the comune (township) of Renazzo di Cento, Province of Ferrara, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy.[1][4] After serving as a mechanic in the Regia Aeronautica,[5][6] during World War II, Lamborghini went into business building tractors out of leftover military hardware from the war effort. By the mid-1950s, Lamborghini's tractor company, Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A.,[7] had become one of the largest agricultural equipment manufacturers in the country.[8] He was also the owner of a successful gas heater and air conditioning manufacturer.
Lamborghini's wealth allowed him to cultivate a childhood interest in cars, owning a number of luxury automobiles including Alfa Romeos, Lancias, Maseratis, and a Mercedes Benz.[9] He purchased his first Ferrari, a 250GT, in 1958, and went on to own several more. Lamborghini was fond of the Ferraris, but considered them too noisy and rough to be proper road cars, likening them to repurposed track cars.[9] Lamborghini decided to pursue an automobile manufacturing venture, with the goal of bringing to life his vision of a perfect grand tourer

Hummer H2 2010 2011

The Hummer H2 is an SUV and SUT that was marketed by General Motors under the Hummer brand.[3] It is a large truck (lighter and slimmer than the Hummer H1), while longer and taller) with room for six passengers (including driver). The rearmost part of the H2 SUV was modified to a pickup truck bed for the 2005 H2 SUT ("Sport Utility Truck"). Both the H2 SUV and SUT are being discontinued after the 2010 model year as GM is winding down the entire Hummer brand. It was the only one of the trucks to have the letters HUMMER between the grill.
