Posted by in BMW on July 4, 2011
The BMW E36 was the first modern performance sedan with some of the most cutting-edge technology and engineering around. From the 318ti to the E36 M3, the E36 chassis is known as a taut and ideal base for many BMW E36 Performance Parts.
BMW E36 Supercharger Kits

Active Autowerke has turned out unmatched performing E36 Supercharged cars for over 20 years now.

World Fastest Cars – Koenigsegg CCX
Posted by in Koenigsegg on July 4, 2011
The Koenigsegg CCX combines raw power with an attractive style that makes it perfect for a Sunday drive down the coast or a quick race at the track. This Swedish supercar is a sight to behold if you’re a fan of sports vehicles. The body itself is enough to induce a purchase from many.
The two-door car has a sleek and stylish body that looks more like a fighter jet than a conventional car. The removable top is able to be stored under the trunk, so changing on the go isn’t a problem. The carbon-fiber construction also adds a lightweight durability to the body. Similar to Lamborghini, the actuation doors add another stylish and convenient touch to the exterior.
Koenigsegg released their CCX (Competition Coupe X) in 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show. Another model was also released, the CCXR, that ran on bio fuel, making it very eco-friendly, but the original model is the one that’s stuck in the hearts and minds of sports car enthusiasts everywhere. After this lightweight, powerful roadster with a wide wheelbase and picturesque body arrived at the show, it was clear Koenigsegg had developed a real contender.
The CCX’s engine isn’t as large as some of its competitors, but the size doesn’t matter nearly as much as most people think. Even still, the 4.7 liter V8 with dual overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder is nothing to sneeze at. The engine is comprised of aluminum alloy, making it stronger, thinner and lighter than other engines – and with 806 bhp, it’s more powerful than some larger engines. The CCX can reach 0 to 60 in 3.2 and is rumored to achieve speeds of up to 259mph.
In fact, the CCX wiped the floor with many of today’s fastest and most popular supercars. In June of 2008, at a closed track overseen by SportAuto, a standard fully equipped CCX recorded a speed of 0 to 186mph in only 29.2 seconds, which was good enough to beat the Corvette Z06, Porsche 997 GT2, SLR McLaren 722, and the Lamborghini Murcielago, among other cars. This show of raw power instantly catapulted the Koenigsegg supercar to the top of the list. Read the rest of this entry »
