That is not a very "kept-secret-till-date" motor.

Even-though Jeremy seemed Wow! when he heard about that engine, I vividly remember Jeremy mentioning about that engine on TG before the Phantom was launched, then later RR replaced the engine with the V12.

The Veyron is often called the Big-Bug, partly cos of its name, but mostly because it is also a bug-like VW

Re: International Celebrities and their Cars!

Bumped upon a nice link of celebrity cars today, already finished checking 62 pages

Almost 90% of celebrity cars are pimped and most look hot

Re: International Celebrities and their Cars!

From crazybiker46's post above, I came across Jon Olsson's Audi R8.

Can't believe that it's an Audi! Looks way more badass than a stock Lamborghini!

Cylinders: 10V
Horses: 710 BHP vs stock 525 BHP
Torque: 720Nm vs stock 530 Nm
0-100kph: 3.1 sec on tarmac

This extreme modification comes with a four-year / 50,000-mile warranty

Re: International Celebrities and their Cars!

Surely that R8 looks awesome

Jon Olsson also has\had similarly modded Lamborghini LP 670-SV , Gallardo and Nissan GTR

The link mentions he has replaced LP670 SV with Aventador

Also Fisker karma is becoming a favourite among celebrities and its going to dethrone Toyota Prius as the celebrity hybrid car. AC/DC Brian Johnson's fisker was featured in Top Gear last season

Re: International Celebrities and their Cars!

Ashton Kutcher drives a Fisker Karma in the latest season of Two And A Half Men. He is seen driving it on several occasions throughout the season. Could it be his own car?

re: Gerard Lopez' Car Collection : The BEST in the world?

Wow this is a super fantastic collection, doubt if any one can have something like this. Also noticed that he's quite a lot of rare cars & am sure with passage of time the cars in his garage are going to be much more in value than he would have bought.

My fav. in the list has to be the Bugatti EB110... its one of those cars that I loved since times immemorial.
