Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss


Unveiled at last year’s Detroit Auto Show, the Stirling Moss SLR reads like any Super Car of today: 0-60 in under 3.5 seconds, top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h), a million dollar price tag and extremely limited (only 75 will be produced). SLR stands for “Sport, Leicht, Rennsport” (sport, light, racing), and the cars produced were the result of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive.

The most significant distinction though, is the lack of windshield and roof.

Limited Edition Halo Xbox 360


It seems as if Microsoft had little idea that it was going to pass the one million mark across Australia and New Zealand, when it commissioned a custom Xbox completely studded with Swarovski crystals. However, to celebrate the millionth console, Microsoft is auctioning off one-of-a-kind consoles to raise money for the David Peachey Foundation.

Designed by Richard Taylor and the Weta Workshop, the Halo console has currently being placed at AU$620 on eBay. The winning amount for the Halo console will be matched up to $10,000 by Microsoft New Zealand for a donation to Cure Kids.

2011 Hennessey Venom GT


A Lotus Elise with the engine of a Corvette ZR1 (725 hp/741 lb-ft supercharged 6.9 liter V8). Sounds like a recipe for tire-shredding mayhem, right? Well, you’d be correct if Hennessey didn’t also make it’s new 200 mph 2011 Venom GT available with a twin-turbocharged 1,000 hp/900 lb-ft torque OR an orbit-defying 1,200 hp/1,100 lb-ft torque “version”.

The new 2011 Hennessey Venom GT, of which only 10 will be made, will get you to 60 in less than 3 seconds (if you get the tires to connect), and not only provide you a road legal nuclear missile, but one that would make the Dark Knight and/or Mad Max jealous. The 2,400 lb Venom GT will be equipped with 15″ carbon ceramic rotors up, Michelin PS2 tires, fully-adjustable suspension, and a one-day track training program to teach what we imagine to be a course in not ending your life in a flaming ball of fury.
