“Need For Speed”– a well-known name among cars lovers and TV gamers. In March 2014, the long lasting name has shown in cinemas. The name is well-know is because it is originated from a popular TV game of the type dated back to 1994. The game is a 101 textbook for super cars to many of the teenagers and gamers. When we have grown up, we found that it is not easy to witness such cars in the real world due to the limited production and millions dollars of selling prices.

The movie showed us how these cars looks like. This issue we are going to give some more information on some of the cars in the movie.

《极品飞车》，对于车迷和游戏迷来说，绝对不是个陌生的词儿。在2014年3月，期待已久的《极品飞车》电影版上映。《极品飞车》，如此负有盛名还得追溯到1994年的那些狂热游戏迷们。这部游戏是那些对超级跑车有着浓厚兴趣的少年们的宝典。当我们长大以后，就会发现由于资金和量产的原因，在现实中很难看到这些极品豪车。

电影为我们展示的就是这些车的真实模样。本期我们将为大家介绍更多电影里的豪车。

Ford Shelby Mustang GT500
福特野马 GT500
The car made by the main character in the movie, and was sold at USD2.7 million in the movie. Carroll Shelby was a legendary American car racer in the late 1950s. He is also a gifted car designer who created some of the best performancecars in early 60s. He continued to design until the day he passed away in 2012. In fact, he had been working on the 50th anniversary edition of the Ford Mustang when he died. His car designs are as beautiful as they are powerful and factory stock versions.

Powered with a 5.8L V8 supercharged engine, this Mustang is backed with 662 horsepower and a maximum speed of 325 km/h can be reached. For acceleration, various tests results showed the car can run from 0-100km/h at 3.3-3.5 seconds, and takes another 8 seconds to reach over 200km/h.

这款是电影的大主角，在影片中售价两百七十万。卡罗尔·谢尔比是20世纪50年代末美国传奇般的赛车。他同样也是60年代早期最出名的汽车造型师。他一直持续他的事业直到2012年去世。实际上，在去世前他还在为野马50周年版工作。他所创造的车几乎都是库存版精品。

野马装配5.8升V8发动机，功率至662马力，以及最快速度达到325km/h。在加速测试中，实验数据显示野马可以再3.3-3.5秒内加速至100km/h，并且能在后期8秒内加速至200km/h。

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
兰博基尼第六元素
The car used by the rival character in the final race of the movie. The selling price was ranged from USD2.2-2.9 million. Despite the price is few times higher than normal Lamborghini, the marque announced in late 2012 that, only 20 cars of this model have been built all have been sold out. The name of the car is a reference to the sixth element on the periodic table – carbon. This name is adopted because the extensive use of carbon, resulting an extreme light weight for a super car. With only 999kg of weight, which is comparable to the compact Japanese car, Honda’s Fit (1,060 kg).

Elemento is equipped with a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system. Same as Gallardo, the 5.2-L V10 engine generates a 570 horsepower. Its chassis, body, drive shaft and suspensioncomponents are all made of carbon fiber to reduce the weight. The above specification enables Elemento to record a 2.5 seconds time for 0-100 km/h acceleration.

在电影中的最后竞赛中，兰博基尼第六元素是主角竞争对手的坐骑。售价在2200000-2900000美元之间，制造的20辆第六元素全部售罄。这辆车的命名以化学元素——碳为参照，因为在车的制造中大量运用了碳元素。碳元素的运用造就了超轻的车身。仅重999kg的第六元素已经低于之前的日产本田1060kg。

第六元素配备6-speed 半自动变速器以及全轮驱动，类似配备5.2升V10发动机，570马力的盖拉多系列。底盘、车身、驱动轴和其他悬挂部件都以碳纤维为主要材料以减轻负重。上述车辆装备完全允许第六元素在2.5秒内加速至100km/h。
