French exotic car manufacturer and distrubitor Bugatti has unveiled their latest edition of its Veryon, the Grand Sport Vitesse.
Boasting a sixteen-cylinder 1,200 hp engine with four turbochargers, the convertible named after the French word for “speed” is the most powerful production roadster of all time. The world will physically be able to see the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse at the Geneva Moter Show this year in March.

Music artist Will.I.Am has been working on developing a new car called IAMAUTO. The Black Eyed peas frontman debuted the vehicle on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. The auto was developed to help create jobs in his old Los Angeles neighborhood.
The car, which looks a lot like the Delorean from Back To The Future, features a Beats By Dre sound system and was constructed using OEM parts from Chrysler.
In an unexpected announcement last week, Daimler AG revealed that they will be discontinuing their luxury Maybach vehicles soon due to low sales and lack of profits. Last year, there were reportedly less than 200 Maybachs sold, which carried a starting price of $375,250 — one of which Kanye West and Jay-Z happily chopped up for their music video, ‘Otis.’
To make up for the financial loss, Daimler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche plans on expanding the company’s now three series Mercedes-Benz S-Class model to a 600 in 2013.
“We came to the strong conclusion that the sales chances for the Mercedes brand are much stronger than those for Maybach.”
The luxury vehicles have been the ride of choice for rappers over the years, making appearances in many hip hop/rap videos and being the inspiration behind the name of Miami rapper Rick Ross’ label, Maybach Music Group. Last year, Diddy’s son Justin Combs received a $350,000 Maybach for his 16th birthday during MTV’s Sweet 16 special.
