    The third car participating in the drag race on 1 mile is a heavily modified Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG (W166). It is powered by a 5.5 liter bi-turbo V8 boosted to 700HP (515 kW). It is able to cover 1 mile in 30.096 seconds with a terminal speed of 271 km/h and ¼ mile in just 11.734 seconds with 191 km/h.  Of course, it didn’t manage to beat the 599 GTO, which closed the gap really fast.

  • Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 by Kahn Design

    Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 is probably the best GT car in the world. It is powered by an enormous naturally aspirated V12 in the front, rear wheel drive and perfect weight distribution. All this combined with the unmatched style and beauty of Ferrari.

    However, Afzal Kahn reworked a lot of elements of this “perfect” vehicle.

    The exterior boasts nice Nero Daytona paint and a complete aerodynamics package including new front and rear bumpers, wing shields and yellow brake calipers. There are also other upgrades like ceramic brakes and upgraded F1 gearbox delivering better performance.

    The interior is also stunning – nero Daytona leather electric sports seats and fully customized inside elements.

    The tuned 599 GTB Fiorano F1 stands on a set of 9J x 21” at the front and 12J x 22” Monza forged wheels finished in the colour of your choice.

    Dedicated to the creation of luxury bespoke vehicles, we redesign the ordered monotony of mass produced vehicles and rebuild them into individually tailored creations.

    This particular car is available for £88,875.
