:::Lamborghini Coatl:::

The Lamborghini Coatl Special is an amazing car. Built in Mexico by Automoviles Lamborghini Latinoamerica S.A. with permission by Automobili Lamborghini SpA. The car is a modified Diablo (If you look at the windows, the intakes behind the windows, and the general shape without all the fancy intakes). The rear lights style is now seen in many tuner cars. The car is very specially customized for the specific future owner. For example the owners hand and finger meaurements are taken for the steering wheel, A mold is used to get the seat to fit the body of the customer, pedals are specifically sized, and the customers initials are engraved on the steering wheel, cylinders and the option is open to have their name stitched into the custom carpeting. The leather is dyed to match the customers order. Many air intakes are used to cool the engine and brakes. The paint color is orange, red, and brown tinted depending on the way the light hits it.
Top Speed: 385 km/h (234 mph)
Acceleration 0-60: 3.54s

:::Pagani Zonda:::


The Pagani Zonda (often mistaken as being a cheep rip-off version of a Honda) is capable of speeds up to 346 km/h (215 mph) (that I could find, although there are lots of different models of the car...) and 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. Early engineering on the Zonda was done by the Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio and was originally going to be named the "Fangio F1" after him. When he died it was renamed the Zonda after an air current above Argentina. The body of the Zonda is made mostly of carbon fibre to make it light weight. The Zonda debut in 1999.
