Bugatti Veyron lovers will be thrilled to learn that the famous F1 driver that we love so much; yep you guess it right because we ARE talking about Jenson Button, has decided to put up his Bugatti dream for sale. Just so you know the present leader of the drive’s championship is the second owner of this 2008 monotone black stunner from the famous carmaker’s workshop.
The car comes with an 8-litre W16 engine and four turbochargers. The price is pretty high at $1.5 million. Well, it sure is justifiable just thinking of the man who would have driven this roadster before you took on the wheel.

The love of Ferrari will make you desire this new timepiece called the Lap Time Chronograph.

There is a reason why Formula One is touted as perhaps one of the most expensive sports. Well as an expected consequence, the sport also ends up selling some real expensive merchandise unlike its peers in the field. And if you are an F1 fan, we are quite sure that you’d already be owning one of those amazing F1 Racing books. But there is one more that you can add to your collectibles.
This one is called the Formula One Champions Opus book and is as big as the sport can get, literally. Yes, the book’s surprisingly over-sized as it contains a whole range of photos and articles on F1 racing, thereby making it a must-have for all die-hards of the sport.

There are certain things that never seem to make any sense to me at all. Take for example this weird and funny Factor 001 training bike. It has been designed by BERU f1 systems and it comes with Formula One racing technology which will make sure you are riding the most advanced bike ever.
It comes with made to measure carbon fiber frame and it comes with built in accelerometers which monitor your expensive bike’s speed, torque levels, and also crank cadence. However do not expect such a wondrous instrument for anything lesser than $30,000. The software for this crazily expensive bike will set you back but another $10,000.

There aren’t that many things that can turn grown men into an excited bunch of giggling, drooling boys, but a stupendously designed car can still make them whistle louder than a boiling pot of tea.
Mercedes-Benz, in collaboration with Formula One, has been producing the SLR supercar for a few years now, but with the end of its production due in some time, Mercedes-Benz is going for the big finish. They are celebrating the end of this regime with a special edition SLR Stirling Moss. Named after the Brit driver who won the Mille Miglia in 1955, the SLR Stirling Moss will also be styled after the original 300 SLR that Moss was driving in the race. The Stirling Moss is set to impress with 650hp and powered by its V8 engine it can hit 0-100km in 3.5 seconds flat. With a top speed of 350kmph, the car may be built to disappear in the blink of an eye but you would still cruise by slowly in this baby to show off its sleek and polished curves.
