Is Tesla Really Killing the Supercar?

Jan 20, 2018, 11:27 AM This year, a picture has gone viral on social media, depicting the performance of Tesla's upcoming Roadster compared to that of a Bugatti Chiron. The Chiron is one of the most expensive supercars in the world in 2017, with a price tag of between $2.5 and $3 million, and has a very impressive performance, going zero to 60 in 2.4 seconds, and reaching a top speed of 261 mph. Except for the top speed that's not very clear at this point (aside from being more than 250 mph), the upcoming Tesla Roadster exceeds the Chiron in most aspects, going from zero to 60 in 1.9 seconds, reaching 100 mph in 4.2, and completing a quarter mile in 8.8 seconds, all this with a price tag that's 12.5 times lower. Plus, the Roadster will be the first supercar to achieve all this and still have enough space for four people inside.

Unique: Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG Cabriolet

Nov 24, 2017, 5:38 PM If you want an open AMG G-series you are currently limited to the Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet, a very limited and costly edition. The price is $500,000 and that is for most of us out of reach. So the other option is to by a G55 or G63 and let a tuner do the rest. That seems to be the case with this G55 Cabriolet that wasn't delivered as a cabriolet from the factory. This unique G55 Cabriolet was captured by Rivitography in Greenwich (CT).
