You thought the cars in "Fast and The Furious" and "Need For Speed" movies were hyped up wait to you see some of these cars in 2017

Happy New Year and I hope you all had a really good Christmas, I was just perusing the internet yesterday and saw this on Top Gear's website and I have to say some of these look sweeeet!



This is the NEW! Bugatti Chiron1 model...if you like me have read that Bugatti had stopped making their fantastically designed Veyron- well in my opinion it was- and have been going "Oh my God! What the hell are Bugatti going to make now?" well this according to Top Gear's website is what they've made next and thankfully this hasn't lost any of it's Bugatti looks, like with the Veyron you just took one look and just wanted to know how it drove and hoped that it drove fast and oh boy it drove fast with speeds of up to 268mph  ...I do realise while I'm writing this that it may sound like I'm a bit of a boy racer and my enthusiasm for the Bugatti Veyron is just pouring over but who doesn't love the look of a fast car especially a Bugatti? and want to see how fast it can drive or want to know what the engine sounds like when you rev the accelerator or even when you just put the key in the ignition?...ok I think even from just writing this even I can gather I may just be a bit of a petrol head.

Anyhew...according to Bugatti's website this super sports car Chiron 1:

"The Chiron1 is the most interpretation of Bugatti's brand DNA and embodies our new design language. The styling accentuates the performance aspect of the super sports car."

I bloody well hope that this styling accentuates the performance aspect with according to Top Gear's website 1,500bhp, and according to Bugatti's website a 16 cylinder, four turbos double powered and give a guaranteed maximum torque at 2,000rpms and the torque is maintained at this level all the way to 6,000rpms and also according to Bugatti's website this results in unbelievable acceleration and with a top speed of 260mph according to Top Gear's website.

And according to Bugatti's own website each Chiron1 is one of a kind as individual as it's owners, with this website saying that the level of individuality can be achieved is subject to very few limitations...and even if your like me and don't have that kind of cash to splash on one of these cars you could still play around with the different colour combinations to see what colour tickles your fancy if you had a Bugatti Chiron1...well we can all dream can't we?

Here is the link below to play around with these colour combinations:

  Alfa Romeo Stelvio interior

This isn't exactly a supped up hyper car but you can expect to see this new Alfa Romero Stelvio model in 2017.

According to Alfa Romero's website this is the first Alfa Romero SUV that combines a commanding driving positions with a low centre of gravity... this sounds to me like a confusing combination to have in a car because it sounds like to me that although you have a good position to see everything when your driving that you might not be able to feel the car on the road which I'm pretty sure in a car is a very important thing to feel when you are driving.

Anyhew...although Alfa Romero's website does say that although the car is extremely light, has an outstanding wheel feel it does perfectly match the handling of a performance car with the comfort of a traditional SUV...this sounds all well and good to me but why should car lovers get excited about this new SUV?

Well...Top Gear's website tells us that this new Alfa Romero SUV is powered by a Ferrari engine, but according to Top Gear's website neither Alfa Romero nor Ferrari like the association with Ferrari saying according to Top Gear's website that this twin-turbocharged 2.9 litre, V6 is "inspired by Ferrari technologies". Alfa Romero's own website states that although this new SUV has a lightweight body structure it also has a carbon fibre driveshaft...so in other words that this car not only is lightweight on the roads and does it feel comfortable to drive when your holding the wheel but when you turn the car on there will be a bit of a kick and a nice noise from the Ferrari engine.

And nice to know that although the name doesn't leave much to be desired this is a five seater.



I still can't believe that when I look at this image that this is a Ford, it looks more like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini to me ...yes your eyes are not deceiving you this is Ford's NEW GT that has been aerodynamically optimised with a extraordinarily powerful 3.5 litre EcoBoost V6 engine...and according to Ford's own website this tear-dropped shape is the result of extensive work in the wind tunnel, and that this car has been specifically designed for pure performance...well with looks like that it better deliver on performance!

The bodywork has been built out of carbon fibre as well as according to Ford's own website saying that every single element of this Ford GT has been designed to deliver the extraordinary speed and exceptional handling found in purpose built racing cars.

Also according to Top Gear's website this Ford GT has a seven speed dual clutch gearbox instead of a manual.



Again this isn't really a supped up car like the Ford GT or the Buggatti Chiron1 but according to Top Gear's website this follow up model from the old CX-5 looks smarter on the outside and more "German" on the inside...so I'm guessing that means that the interior has been built more efficiently, built more technology based with a view to if you want something to work well it should be built really well...(please don't get offended if you are reading this but I am just thinking of other German cars like BMW's and Audi's).



Good gracious! Ok this really doesn't look like a supped up car but there are some parts of the Mini Countryman for 2017 that sounds exciting according to its website.

For one thing this new five seater has according to Mini's own website says it has a jacked up suspension for higher ride height that gives you a perfect view whether your driving on the road or going off road, and these seats stretch out to four metres in length, and they can even move backwards for up to 13cm of extra leg room.

Mini have put into this the latest generation anti-lock brakes which allow you to stop quickly on slippery roads. The Electronic Breakforce Distribution distributes brake force between the wheels to suit the driving conditions...neat!

Cornering Brake Control improves stability when cornering at speed and Brake Assist speeds up the process minimising the brake distance.

So this sounds like you'll definitely be safe in one of these!



This is the BMW X2, this to me sounds like it's still a BMW body but with just bigger wheel alloys and made more boxier than it's normal long lengh saloon type car models or the long length sports versions so BMW can fit this model into the category of crossover.

I do realise that this post may be getting a bit long so to see more new models of cars in 2017 please read part 2 of this post.
