Featuring Aviator Grey paint with matte finish on the grill, hood and window, the Phantom Coupe Aviator's body style echoes the styling of earlier classic cars yet incorporates the best of modern design elements.
Other features from the Rolls-Royce Phantom are incorporated into the Coupe editions. The Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament retracts to prevent theft and has an automatic retraction feature to protect the ornament if the front grille of the car is struck.
Interior
The Phantom Coup Aviator collection has been styled after an airplane cockpit. Rich sepia leather coordinates with hand shaped and polished mahogany lower panels. The dashboard features aviator styled dials, complete with matte black backgrounds and orange-tipped needle tips.
Mahogany enhances the dashboard, accented by burnished stainless steel. The floor mats are designed with the aviation theme in mind and mimic the dashboard detailing with stainless steal treads on matching leather. The glove compartment is embossed with a Charles Rolls aviation quote.
A special note on the interior is the specially designed cup holder, featuring two recessed polished aluminum holders with an Art Deco vibe and functions as both as a holder and provides a dramatic decorative element for the car.

2013 Lucra LC470 SC
The 2013 Lucra LC470 SC is considered to be an affordable supercar, which has been given a promotional tagline as being " STREET LEGAL".
Engine
This supercar is fitted with a GM LS7, 7.0 liter V8 engine that produces 630 horsepower. This combines with a cold-air intake system for increased throttle response and better engine use. It is connected to Tremec TKO five-speed gearbox at its rear section. These features enable the LC470 SC sprint from 0 to 60 mph in amazing 2.5 seconds. The chassis is made from 0.12 inch hot-rolled steel which is cheaper than cold rolled steel. Driver and passenger sit in the chassis instead of sitting on top of it, resulting to a lowered center of gravity that result in better handling.
Exterior
The Lucra's body is made of 100% carbon fiber, resulting to a total body weight of 160 pounds. Its nose dives down similar to the Dodge Viper, but its circular headlights and rounded fenders closely looks more like the AC Shelby Cobra.
The Lucra LC470 SC does not come with door glass windows; rather, a set of Lexan side windows that comes with a safety storage case. The car is fitted with 17 by 11 inch aluminum front wheels and 17 by 9.5 inch aluminum rear wheels. Since the body is a one solid piece, you can rest assured that there will be no body panels to worry about deforming from racing.
Interior
Unlike most supercars, the Lucra LC470 SC comes with a cockpit that allows even tall people to sit in comfortably. The Shifter location is adjustable to allow the driver to set it to meet his or her arm length. It also boasts a tilt and telescoping steering wheel.
Although the top speed of this car has not been reviewed yet, it can be assumed to hit more than 180 mph, since a model with a taller axle ratio attains 190 mph. The 2013 Lucra LC470 SC is lightweight and attractive; and with the blend of the two-tone colors, the looks of this car get more enchanting.

2013 SSC Ultimate Aero XT
SSC, a.k.a Shelby Super Cars, has already finished the replacement model of their extreme supercar - the Ultimate Aero, the Tuatara. If you think that SSC had no intention on following up on the multiple-record-holding supercar Ultimate Aero, you are mistaken.
They recently announced a special edition supercar, the 2013 SSC Ultimate Aero XT. Following in the tradition of its predecessor, the XT boasts of extreme style and even more power!
Engine
The biggest difference between the Ultimate Aero and the new XT model is the extra power propelling it. The new engine boasts of a V8, 1,300hp at 6800rpm and 1004 lb-ft of torque, also at 6800rpm.
Many elements have been borrowed from the Ultimate Aero including the fuel delivery system and the cooling mechanism. Still, there's a 13hp increase over the original Ultimate Aero model.
Speed
Just like the Ultimate Aero, the XT has the potential of being a record-breaking supercar. In 2.6 seconds, it can sprint to a speed 0-60 mph and is capable of hitting the 200 mph mark in just 15.65 seconds - another world record set by SSC. This special edition supercar has a projected top speed of 273 mph, nothing short of powerful.
Suspension
The suspension is of an independent variety, there's unequal lower and upper control arms, cab-controlled air lift, anti-roll bar. 44% of the cars body weight is placed on the front axle while 56% is placed on the rear.
Exterior
The special edition Ultimate Aero XT comes with a two-tone paint scheme, never before used on previous models and never to be used again on future models. You are able to select any two colors - one color will run up the center of the XT, across the roof, down the tail of the car, on the vehicle's lower half and across the mirrors while the second color fills in the outer parts of the hood and the lower sides of the car.
You'll be glad to note that aside from the exclusive paint job, not much has changed about the exterior - only minimal changes to the body shape have been made. The XT retains the sleek and sexy shape of its older brother.
