Auction Up!

2012 Ferrari FF
The first models of 4 exclusive cars will be up for auction at the Boca Raton Concours d' Elegance in Florida. The first of these cars is the 2012 Ferrari FF, Ferrari's first all-wheel drive shooting brake grand tourer. A 6.3-liter 651 horsepower V12 is under the hood of this car. 0 to 60 is done in just 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 208 MPH. It would be pretty cool if you won that.

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster (Rendering)
Next up is the all new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster. The car has ditched the artistic gullwing doors and a hardtop roof to make driving more pleasurable. What it hasn't ditched though was its 6.2-liter 563 horsepower V8 engine, the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine in the world. We've been waiting for this car to come out for a while.

2012 Audi R8 GT
Next up, for the hardcore drivers, is the Audi R8 GT. Effectively, this is the "Superleggera" version of Audi's successful supercar. The 5.2-liter FSI V10 engine now produces 560 horsepower. The body itself is 100 kg lighter than the standard V10 model. Because of this, 0 to 60 is done in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 200 MPH. Only 333 will be made with just 90 coming here. Wouldn't it be great if you got the first of the 90?

2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG
Last, but certainly not least, Mercedes will be auctioning off a limited edition CLS63 AMG. No word on what special power the car will have but only 30 will be made. So, those are the cars. If you have a big wallet and are in the Florida area, you might want to get in on this.

World of Clarkson

Jeremy Clarkson
Life is swell if you are a Jeremy Clarkson. First off, you're the most offensive person on the face of the earth and there's nothing anyone else can do about it. That must feel great. You can totally diss a religion, have them get angry at you, and do absolutely nothing about it. That's awesome! Next, you have a pretty awesome car collection including a Ford GT, an Aston Martin DBS, an Austin-Healey Sprite, a Caterham Seven R400, and many more. Then, you're the host of a popular motoring show known as Top Gear that's worth over $10 billion and is watch by over 350,000,000 people around the world. You're a very popular guy. And now, you've got an iPhone app on the AppStore with your name on it called iClarkson, showcasing your best car reviews from the Audi R8 to the Maserati Quattroporte. It costs $7.99 and you can get it now on the AppStore. Then again, if you are a Jeremy Clarkson, you've always been fond of the iPhone, as I will prove below with some videos.

Track Screaming Prancing Horse

2012 Ferrari 458 GTC
If you thought the Ferrari 458 Challenge was the best Ferrari could offer out of the 458, well, think again. As we speak, Ferrari is now testing out a 458 GTC to be used in the FIA GT Racing League. As the successor to the F430 GT2, this new GTC will have a lot to catch up to. The F430 GT2 has won many races in its league, beating the Porsche GT3 RSR and the Corvette GT2. No word on how much horsepower this car produces or what technology they've put into it, but rest assured they promise this car to be quite fast.
