V12 Supra Top Secret

Top Secret has been making the show rounds with its twin turbo V12 Supra for the past year, but it’s finally putting its money where its mouth is and going for a top speed of 400 km/h (248 mph) later this year in Italy. Breaching 200 km/h hasn’t been an issue since the boosted 6.0-liter V12 is supposedly pushing out over 1,000 hp.

Alpine Sinister Six BMW 645i

The complete rebuilt of ordinary BMW 645 to this mad masterpiece consists of exterior and interior changes. It’s a completely reworked stock car. And now you can see the result of many hours spent in a workshop of two guys from the Alpine USA team.

The exclusive double-part 5-spoke black rims are made by the famous hot-rod producer Boyd Coddington. These heavy rims are also very wide – 10″ and 13″. These gigantic rims wear Falken tires Falken ZiEX S/TZ. You can imagine that 360 mm Brembo vented brake discs look quite small compared to the rims.

The whole thing looks like some Star Trek base. When you push the button, the unit does 90o left turn allowing boarding and getting out. And the rear trunk cover slides to show the amplifiers.
