The East is rising in economic power, if you didn’t know this piece of breaking news, you can go to any of the major luxury automobile brands’ websites and have a look at all the special edition cars they’re churning out made specifically for the “Eastern countries” – mainly China and oil-rich Middle Eastern countries.

Today Rolls Royce released pictures of a special edition of the already pretty special Ghost sedan for the Middle East market.  The car is called the Rolls Royce Ghost One Thousand and One Nights edition, part of a new line of

I was going to start off by bashing the paint scheme on this McChip-DKR Mercedes C63 AMG but I actually ended up liking the way it looks after viewing the pictures a few times. It’s funny how that works and as they say, it’s not what’s on the outside, what matters is what’s on the inside. In the case of this Mercedes C63 AMG, what’s on the inside matters very much actually. The C63 AMG in stock form already produces an impressive 480 horsepower from it’s 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine.

I guess the German technicians at McChip-DKR were not impressed by the stock numbers and they were able to increase the power on Mercedes C63 AMG by just over 25 percent. Instead of simply remapping the ECU to squeeze all the power out of the vehicle, the guys decided to strap on a supercharger system and a new custom exhaust system which resulted in increasing the power on the C63 AMG to a massive 650 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of peak torque.

Today we bring you yet another reason to consider selling your soul or other valuable items you may or may not own; this time you’ll need all that money for the all-new Rolls Royce Wraith Coupe, based on the Ghost sedan.  The Wraith is definitely not a looker, it’s more of a “look at me, I’m sexy successful and I know it” car.  It’s an okay looking car and if I had a rich dad or I was a CEO of a large bank, and “needed” a luxury coupe, I’d definitely choose the Wraith over a Bentley Continental GT.

The Pagani Zonda has been replaced by the Huayra, but the company still keeps making various iterations of the supercar.  Personally, I love the crazy, in your face, over-the-top styling of the Zonda and welcome every new model with open arms (in terms of writing about them, not actually owning or driving them because…well, I can’t afford them).

The latest supercar to roll out of their Italian factory is the Pagani Zonda Revolucion.  The car was unveiled at “Vanishing Point 2013”, the international Pagani gathering.
