The Cadillac Special Edition 2012 CTS-V Coupe “Le Monstre” from Cadillac tuning specialists D3:
Le Monstre utilizes all of the latest performance advancements from D3 in terms of thermal efficiency, suspension/chassis, aero, and powertrain that is capable of producing in excess of 1001HP & 1000FT Lbs tq. Extensive performance upgrades & technology have been integrated into the vehicle to offset the overall weight making it a powerful adversary on the track. Le Monstre will come equipped with Toyo Proxes T1R UHP summer tires and/or Toyo Proxes R888 competition tires and said to be targeting 1+G on the skid pad.
Plus, it looks like something out of Robocop.

The ESRI has taken the unprecedented step of withdrawing the working paper that stated that up to 44% of unemployed families were better off on the dole.In a statement this evening, the ESRI said the working paper had been issued as a ”work in progress” on 22 May. It was not an ESRI report, it said, and had not been subject to any refereeing procedures
