New 2001 Chrysler/Dallera LMP
Chrysler Motorsports and Team ORECA just unveiled a brand new Le Mans Prototype racer that they plan to enter in the 2001 running of the 24-hour classic. For 2001, engineers from the Chrysler Group have teamed with ORECA and chassis specialists Dallara, to build a completely new car. It will be unveiled to the press in January before the team begins testing in Spain later that month. Sony Playstation, Dassault Systems, Michelin tires and of course Mopar will continue to back the cars.


2000 Hennessy Venom 800TT Viper!!! Check out the photo of this twin turbo V10 bad boy of the american highways... All New Skyline Is Coming!
Codename the R-35, the all-new Skyline could see production as early as in the end of 2002. The current engine options are said to be a wild twin-turbo 3.0 lt. V6 producing 420 hp for the Japanese market and a 4.5 lt. V8 producing roughly the same power (420hp) for the international market. One really wonders what has happenned to the gentleman's agreement between Japanese manufacturers that the power of production cars should be limited to 280hp - but of course we can only be happy that Nissan is set to produce what will probably be the most powerful Japanese production car ever! We have also heard that Nissan engineers are examining various transmission options including an 8-speed automatic (!!) and a 6-speed manual gearbox. Looks like the new Skyline could very well be the first production Japanese car to break the 300km/h (188mph) barrier!
