Porsche GT3 RS

The new GT3 RS uses a similar 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine as the GT3. New camshafts help it feel snappier at high revs (the redline doesnt curtail your fun until you hit 9,000rpm) and boost power from 510hp in the GT3 to 525hp in this RS model.

Price Range: $314000

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

The Veyron features an 8.0-litre, quad-turbocharged, W16 cylinder engine, equivalent to two narrow-angle V8 engines bolted together. Each cylinder has four valves for a total of 64, but the configuration of each bank allows two overhead camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only four camshafts are needed.

Price Range: $2400000

Originally called “Los Pechos de la Choca” (Breasts of the Maiden) by early Spanish settlers, these two adjacent peaks provide postcard views and a treasure trove of animal and plant diversity. Most visitors to Twin Peaks drive (or take a tourist bus), walk or bike to the north peak parking lot to enjoy 180-degree views of the Bay Area.
