Ferrari 360 Modena
The Ferrari 360 modena was made from 1999 to 2005. It replaced the Ferrari F355. It is offered in both coupe and convertible form named "Spider". This is the first production Ferrari to be constructed entirely in aluminum, making the car much lighter and faster. It has a mid-engined mounted 3.6L DOHC 40 Valve V8 producing 400 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of Torque. The V-8 is located just behind the drivers seat and has a 8500 RPM redline. Weighing only 3064 lbs. tests have been as low as 3.9 seconds from 0-60 MPH and a top speed of around 190 MPH.

Geneva 2009 debut: Mansory Chopster
This is the crazy Porsche Cayenne-based Masory Chopster which has just debuted in Geneva.
German tuners Mansory handed over a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S to its Swiss branch, which extensively modified the bodywork and gave it supercar levels of performance.
The Chopster is lower and wider than the normal Cayenne, has a set of 23-inch alloy wheels, huge air intakes and a centrally-mounted exhaust which is so big you could probably hide inside.
And it’s not all show and no go. The standard Cayenne Turbo S is no slouch, but Mansory has fitted a bigger turbocharger and fiddled about with the engine’s computer to increase power from 540bhp to 710bhp.
Mansory claims this power hike will give the Chopster a top speed of 187mph which is, quite frankly, scary – but the tuner has fitted mammoth brakes to help stop the SUV.
Inside, the Mansory Chopster gets hand-stitched leather seats, DVD player, a laptop with Internet access and loads of carbon fibre.
In the pictures, the Mansory looks mad but in the metal it’s phenomenal – the sheer size and brutality of the modified Porsche Cayenne is something else and it’s certainly a contender for most outrageous car of the show.
The most shocking thing is that we actually quite like it.
