Jason Statham My father transported me to downtown in our Audi A8 L W12 that is somewhat armoured 4.2 Quattro on a cold, wet, and snowy day. And as soon as I got into the show and bought my ticket, I made a beeline to the Pittsburgh Cars ‘n Coffee exhibit. Before the show, I learned that the group would have their own display. When I got there, it was a disappointment. Kidding! It was quite the opposite. Here were the cars on display: Ariel Atom This is one of the 133 legal versions in the USA. Powered by a V6, this lightweight streetlegal car can easily bring thrills. Maserati Grancabrio/Granturismo Convertible Note to Maserati: Don’t call this car the Granturismo Convertible here in the USA. Keep it as the Grancabrio. Also, keep the Italian spirit that I love dearly. SRT Viper (2014 model) Despite name changes, the Viper remains one of the most hardcore supercars available for sale today. 8.4L V10, 6 Speed Manual, and no cupholders. No matter what the sales numbers are, there will always be that crowd that wants a car like this. That’s a good thing.
