大學生空缺勁減 金融職位萎縮 畢業起薪點料跌回7000

9th---Dodge Viper SRT-10: 3.9 seconds (tie)

The 2008 Viper SRT10 goes on sale later this summer. It has a new, 8.4-liter V10 engine that produces 600 hp. Dodge officially states that a conservative estimate for its zero-to-60 mph time is "under four seconds," but won’t say exactly how much under, according to spokesman Todd Goyer. Pricing for the 2008 model has not been released yet but should be around $90,000.

9th---Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe: 3.9 seconds (estimate, tie)

The dramatically low-slung Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe has a 520-hp, mid-mounted V10 engine. The company says the Gallardo hits 62 mph in 3.95 seconds. The Gallardo is built on a lightweight aluminum frame, covered with glossy, plastic body panels. All-wheel drive is standard. Like other Lamborghinis, the Gallardo is named for a breed of fighting bull. Suggested retail is $178,550.

 

8th---Chevrolet Corvette Z06: 3.7 seconds

The Z06 is GM’s fastest production car ever. It has a 7.0-liter, V8 engine, boasting 505 hp, vs. "only" 6.0 liters of displacement and 400 hp for the standard Corvette. Extensive use of metals like titanium, aluminum and magnesium, plus carbon fiber and composites, make the Z06 strong but relatively light, considering the huge engine. Suggested retail is $70,000.

 

7th---Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano: 3.6 seconds (estimate)

Like Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari is another maker that only records an "official" time for zero-to-62 mph--in this case, 3.7 seconds for the 599 GTB Fiorano, said spokesman Toscan Bennett. He added that Ferrari’s official times are probably conservative, since "buff book" magazines have achieved faster times in testing. The 599 GTB Fiorano has a 611-hp V12 engine. Suggested retail is $280,295.

6th---Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition: 3.5 seconds (estimate)

The SLR 722 Edition, named for a winner of the famous Mille Miglia race in Italy, is the fastest Mercedes-Benz to 60 mph. Like other European makers, Mercedes-Benz more often cites the zero-to-62 mph figure, 3.6 seconds in this case. That’s the equivalent of 100 kilometers per hour. Spokesman Rob Moran estimated 3.5 seconds to 60 mph. Suggested retail: $482,750

5th---Porsche 911 Turbo 3.4 seconds

The 911 Turbo is one of the few cars where the factory’s official zero-to-60 time for the automatic transmission is faster than the manual (by 0.3 seconds). That is due to Porsche’s famously quick Tiptronic transmission, an automatic that can also be shifted manually, without a clutch. The 480-hp 911 Turbo has 3.6-liter, six-cylinder, twin-turbocharged engine. Suggested retail: $122,900.

 

 

4th---RUF CTR3: 3.2 seconds

 

The CTR3’s zero-to-60 mph figure is conservative, said Wayne Corley, who co-owns the brand’s sole U.S. dealership, RUF Auto Centre in Dallas. RUF (all-capitals), is named for founder Alois Ruf, Sr. The company modifies factory Porsches in Germany, to perform even better. RUF also builds its own cars, like the CTR 3, which still shares some parts with the Porsche 911 GT3. Suggested retail is about $520,000, depending on the exchange rate.

 

 

2nd---Saleen S7: 2.8 seconds (tie)

 

The outrageously styled Saleen S7 is one of the few cars in the world with a claimed zero-to-60 mph sprint of less than three seconds, or 100 mph in 5.9 seconds, thanks to a twin-turbocharged, 750-hp V8 engine. The body is made of light but strong "honeycomb" composite panels. Suggested retail is $592,700. Saleen also builds cars strictly for the race track.

2nd---SSC Ultimate Aero TT: 2.8 seconds (tie)

SSC Autos LLC says its Ultimate Aero TT model, which is unrelated to the Audi TT, has a zero-to-60 mph time of about 2.8 seconds (OK, 2.78 seconds). Suggested retail is $549,000. Junus Khan, SSC sales director, said only one dealer, Motorcars of Las Vegas, sells the car. It has a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine that generates 1,183 hp, Khan said.
