روسی کار ساز ادارے نے دنیا کی مہنگی ترین گاڑی تیار کرلی
ماسکو: (دنیا نیوز، ویب ڈیسک) روسی کار ساز ادارے کی یہ گاڑی مکمل طور پر بُلٹ پروف ہے۔ گاڑی کی نشستیں مہنگے ترین چمڑے سے تیار کی گئی ہیں۔ اس شاندار گاڑی کی قیمت گیارہ لاکھ ڈالرز ہے۔ یہ گاڑی لٹویا میں پیدا ہونے والے لیونارڈ ینکولووچ نے تیار کی ہے۔ لیونارڈ ینکولووچ پیشے کے اعتابر سے انجینئر ہیں اور 1990ء کی دہائی سے اس فیلڈ سے وابستہ ہیں۔ اپنے وسیع تجربے کے بعد انہوں نے دنیا کے امیر ترین افراد کیلئے گاڑیاں بنانے کا پروگرام بنایا اور اپنے اس ہدف کی تکمیل کیلئے اس پراجیکٹ سے منسلک ہوگئے۔ یہ گاڑی نہ صرف 312 کلومیٹر فی گھنٹہ کی رفتار سے سڑکوں پر دوڑ سکتی ہے بلکہ اس میں مکمل آرمر پلیٹنگ، بُلٹ پروف وںڈوز، ایلکٹریفائڈ ڈور ہینڈلز اور دو پٹرول ٹینکس کے علاوہ بے پناہ خصوصیات کی حامل ہے۔ غیر ملکی ادارے سے اپنی اس گاڑی کی بارے گفتگو کرتے ہوئے لیونارڈ ینکولووچ کا کہنا تھا کہ امیر افراد بہت ہی عجیب لوگ ہوتے ہیں۔ اس حوالے سے متحدہ عرب امارات کے ایک امیر ترین شخص کا حوالہ دیتے ہوئے ان کا کہنا تھا کہ انہوں نے دنیا کی مہنگی ترین کار بوگاتی خریدی لیکن وہ اس وقت غیر مطمئن ہوگئے جب ان کے ایک دوست نے ویسی ہی کار خرید کے ان کے سامنے کھڑی کر دی۔ ان کا کہنا تھا کہ یہ بالکل ایسا ہی ہے جیسے دو خواتین ایک جیسا لباس زیب تن کرکے ایک ہی محفل میں اکھٹی شریک ہو جائیں۔ ان کا کہنا تھا کہ انہوں نے یہ کار مخصوص خریداروں کیلئے ہی تیار کی ہے جو مخصوص اور شاندار اشیاء میں دلچسپی لیتے ہیں۔

The 17 Best New Cars of 2015
If You Like Cars and Trucks, You're Going To Love 2015
Get excited. Because if you like cool cars and trucks, the next 18 months are going to be a good time to be alive.
Below is a list of cars that make us remember why we got into this business. These are cars and trucks that show promise in their respective segments. Some — like Jaguar's XS sedan — are all-new. And some — like the Ford F-150 — are mainstays that show promise in concept form. Others (like just about everything from GM on this list) deserve acknowledgement for either risk-taking or simple segment leadership.
In no particular order, then, we present 17 groundbreaking, silly-fast or simply cool machines hitting the market in or around 2015.
Acura NSX
Though it will likely be a 2016 model, Acura's NSX will go on sale in 2015 and that's good enough for us. Acura promises that the NSX will be a dynamic demon in spite of its hybrid powertrain. That shouldn't be a problem, as it will combine a twin-turbo V6 with three additional electric motors, two of which will drive the front wheels individually. It should fill the original's shoes in spirit if not in execution.

2015 Audi S3 Sedan
With nearly 300 hp, Quattro all-wheel drive and a six-speed transmission, the S3 is the small sporty sedan most of us here would choose. Its perfect balance of performance, comfort and technology acknowledges that not everyone wants their driving machine to be one-dimensional.

2015 Cadillac ATS-V
Don't mess with Cadillac. Because it plans to jam the 420-hp V6 from its CTS Vsport sedan into the compact ATS in order to make the smaller sedan a genuine V model. This is serious business. The ATS is small and light, so it will haul ass with this much power. And that's really, really cool.

2015 Cadillac Escalade
It's all about the interior with the 2015 Cadillac Escalade. Stitched, perforated leather and real wood trim take center stage in an upgrade that significantly departs from the Suburban-Yukon twins on which it's based. Expect 420 hp and 460 pound-feet of torque from the Escalade's 6.2-liter direct-injected V8. Two- or four-wheel-drive models will be available.

2015 Chevrolet Colorado
The combination of a stagnant midsize segment and the fact that many truck buyers want to buy domestic leaves Chevy in a position to strike while the iron is hot with its all-new Colorado. This truck's good looks, three powertrain options (including a turbodiesel for 2016) and three body configurations won't hurt, either. If there was ever a sure thing in truck sales, this appears to be it.

Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Very little is known about the first performance model based on the C7 platform. Even its name remains unconfirmed. What we know for sure is that the car will be shown at the Detroit auto show in January 2014, which means it will likely go on sale later in the year as a 2015 model. Expect all the C7's goodness to carry over into a car that actually fills its fenders with huge rubber and big brakes. We think it will be powered by a normally aspirated direct-injected V8 displacing more than 6.2 liters and generating between 530 and 570 horsepower.

2015 Ford F-150
New styling, a broad range of engine options and better fuel economy should help the 2015 F-150 retain its position as America's best-selling truck. When it comes to trucks there's a fine line between groundbreaking and bank breaking, and Ford appears to be walking that line carefully with the new F-150. Expect a truck that's better in every way. Don't expect one that's new in every way.

2015 Ford Mustang
Fully redesigned for 2015, all Mustang styles will get independent rear suspension. The big news, however, is the likely addition of a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder to the lineup, possibly to replace the V6. The 5.0 V8 will, of course, remain the iconic engine of the brand.

2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan
All-wheel drive will be an option for this popular sedan when it hits showrooms next year as a 2015 model. Otherwise, the news is mostly about styling, which is striking and makes the previous-generation Genesis sedan look conservative by comparison. Both the 3.8-liter V6 and the 5.0-liter V8 will remain — at least in the first year.

2015 Jaguar XS Sedan
Though it's unclear exactly when this car will be unveiled, it's certain that Jaguar intends to go toe to toe with the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series. Expect a rear-drive-based powertrain with at least two engine options: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter supercharged V6. Both engines will almost certainly be backed by a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission.

2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe
Jaguar's F-Type convertible is a strikingly beautiful car. And it only gets better with a hardtop. Base supercharged V6 engines will retain 340- and 380-hp ratings, while the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 bumps from 495 to roughly 550 hp in the F-Type R Coupe. ZF's eight-speed automatic is still paired with every engine. Expect to see the coupe at dealers in the spring of 2014.

2015 Lexus RC Coupe
This is what's called a no-brainer in the car industry. Lexus shaves two doors and the roof line off the IS 350 sedan and calls it the RC 350 Coupe for 2015. Expect power to come initially from the IS 350's 3.5-liter 306-hp V6 followed by a 2.0-liter turbo-4. A 450-plus hp V8 will come later, allowing the RC Coupe to go head to head with BMW's M4.

2015 Lincoln MKC
There are piles of money to be made in the compact luxury crossover segment. Ask BMW. Or Mercedes. And that's exactly what Lincoln would like to do with the Ford Escape-based MKC. Because its fundamentals are already in place, Lincoln will have to rely on striking styling, an outstanding interior and flexible chassis tuning to make the MKC a hit. But it's been done before. A 2.0-liter EcoBoost four coupled to a six-speed automatic is the most likely powertrain. All-wheel drive will be optional.

2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
With the wildly popular CLA-Class taking the C-Class' spot as entry-level Benz, the priorities have changed for Benz's breadwinner. First, it's getting bigger. Five inches will be added to the C-Class' total length, which will noticeably increase rear-seat legroom. A new 2.0-liter turbocharged four will be the base engine, while a 2.1-liter diesel remains a very real possibility as the upgrade engine. An eight-speed automatic will be the go-to transmission and all-wheel drive will be optional.

2015 Nissan Titan
Expect the 2015 Nissan Titan to come out swinging, because it needs to. This truck has, since its introduction, been an also-ran. Unlike Ford, which can rely on a solid reputation for building serious trucks, Nissan has an image to build. And the first-generation Titan didn't get the job done. Expect a new V6 to join the once-standard V8 along with an all-new 5.0-liter Cummins diesel V8 engine. That kind of powertrain portfolio might get truck buyers talking. And that's exactly what Titan needs.

2015 Subaru WRX
Subaru's new WRX is stiffer, lower, longer (in wheelbase) and more powerful than the car it replaces. It comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, and a performance-tuned CVT (no, seriously) is optional. Though its styling is far more conservative than that of the concept shown earlier this year, a new WRX is always a good thing. Expect the STI to follow shortly.

2015 Tesla Model X
Tesla's Model X will (according to Tesla) go on sale in 2014. All-wheel drive will be optional and Tesla claims it will enable sub-5.0-second 0-60 times. After our experience with the Model S, we expect the Model X to be more of the same: groundbreaking, innovative, fraught with technology and remarkably refined. Also, it's an SUV with really cool doors. Like the Model S it will be available with either a 60 or 85 kWh battery.

Ten Most expensive street legal production cars
Here are 10 of the most expensive street legal production cars on the market (at least 2 available); concept cars are not included.
World's Most Expensive Cars:
1. Lamborghini Veneno $4,500,000. The Veneno gets you from 0 to 60 mph in a swift 2.8 seconds allowing you to hit a top speed of 221 mph. Only three cars are being made available every year. If you want to own this hyper-super car, you will have to be placed on a waiting list along with other aficionados.
2. Lykan Hypersport $3,400,000. The Dubai based company W Motors are planning to make seven of these. The Lykan Hypersport is powered by a flat 6 twin-turbo engine, which produces 750 horsepower, and takes you from 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds with an estimated top speed of 245 mph.
3. Bugatti Veyron Super Sports $2,400,000. This is no longer the most expensive street legal production car available on the market today (the base Veyron costs $1,700,000). Capable of reaching 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, the Veyron is the fastest street legal car when tested again on July 10, 2010 with the 2010 Super Sport Version reaching a top speed of 267 mph (430 km/h). When competing against a Bugatti Veyron, you better be prepared!
There is a tie for #4!
4. Aston Martin One-77 $1,850,000. The name "One-77" says it all: beauty and power in One, limited to 77 units. With 750 hp, it is able to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a maximum speed of 220 mph (354 km/h).
4. Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster $1,850,000. One of the most exotic cars out there is also one of the most expensive. It can go from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (349 km/h).
5. Zenvo ST1 $1,225,000. Able to reach 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 233 mph (375 km/h). The Zenvo ST1 is from a new Danish supercar company that will compete to be the best in speed and style. The ST1 is limited to 15 units and the company even promised "flying doctors" to keep your car running.
We have another tie for 6th place:
6. Lamborghini Reventon $1,600,000. The most powerful and the most expensive Lamborghini ever built takes third place on the list. It reaches 60 mph in 3.3 seconds from 0, to go with a top speed of 211 mph (339 km/h). Its rare (limited to 20) and slick design are reasons why it is expensive and costly to own.
6. Koenigsegg Agera R $1,600,000. The Agera R goes from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 260 mph (418 km/h). It is capable of reaching 270 mph, but this supercar is electronically limited to 235 mph (378 km/h). You will need to sign a waiver, only then does the company unlock the speed limiter.
7. Maybach Landaulet $1,380,000. The Landaulet is the most expensive sedan on the market and it can go from 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds. It is one the most luxurious cars ever made, this comes with a convertible roof that fully opens at the rear. This Maybach is made especially for CEOs and Executives who have their own personal driver.
8. McLaren P1 $1,350,000. McLaren announced that only 375 of the P1 will be made. Under the hood is a hybrid-modified 3.8 liter V8 twin-turbo engine. When combined with the electric motor, it is expected to produce 903 horsepower aided by a 7 speed dual clutch paddle shifter. Time trial estimates put the P1 to go from 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds, while it is expected to have an electronically limited top speed of 217 mph.
9. Pagani Huayra $1,300,000. Named after the "God of the winds" in Quechua, this Italian mid-engine comes with a 6.0 liter, V12 twin-turbo charged engine that produces 720 horsepower. It can reach from 0 to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds, and possibly reaching a top speed of 224 mph.
10. Hennessey Venom GT Spyder $1,100,000. What makes the 2013 Hennessey Venom GT Spyder is its price tag, a compelling 1.1 million dollars. There is no other convertible in the world today that can match-up with this car. Not to mention that it goes from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds.
