Now that you’ve seen the Koenigsegg CCR, Top Gear personality Jeremy Clarkson takes its successor — the CCX — out for a spin. This monster offers a twin-supercharged 4.7 litre V8 that pumps out 806bhp (normal petrol) – 900bhp (eco-friendly bio fuel) and has a top speed of 250mph. It rockets from 0-60 in a little over 3 seconds.

Not that we’re experiencing any certain drought out there for PSP and iPod accessories, but JBL’s announcing their latest speaker system devices for the bespoke gadget icons. The PSP, which typically seems to get the emphasis on portable speaker systems, snags an On Stage variant of its own: the 6 watt On Tour Plus goes for $129.95 and is available now; the 60 watt Radial, successor to the On Time, will have and remote for use with that iPod, and should set you back $299.95 in June when suddenly all your friends will undoubtedly begin commenting on how your speaker-dock looks like a lopsided Michelin, or, depending on the crowd with which you hang, an As Four purse.

JVC just introduced their GZ-MG47 (pictured) disk-based camcorder to the Everio line-up while officially turning-out their GZ-MG505 — bringing an end to her mysterious ways. The MG47 comes in at the low-end of the series with a 20GB hard drive capable of recording about 5-hours of MPEG-2 video quality (at highest quality settings) and features a single CCD for 1.3 megapixel snaps, and F1.2 lens capable of a 15x optical zoom. The MG505 is definitely the star though, as JVC’s and apparently the industry’s, first disk-based camcorder to feature a trio of CCDs. As such, the MG505 ushers in the promise of 30GB of HDD flexibility with the kind of 3CCD image quality previously limited to MiniDV recorders. No wonder it’s already winning TIPA awards. It features a high-resolution 10x optical zoom lens, 16:9 (1173 x 660 x 3 effective pixels) native resolution, and a large 2.7-inch display to show off your best shots. The GZ-MG505 goes on sale in July at the price of $1,300.

Sony has just announced several new configurations for its SZ series of VAIO notebooks, the VGN-SZ91 and -SZ81, which add Intel Core Solo and Celeron processor options to the Core Duo procs already available. Both 13.3-inch models sport 1,280 x 800 WXGA displays, but the SZ91 incorporates a thinner LCD that lobs off a few millimeters of thickness compared to the SZ81. Battery life is also slightly better on the SZ91, with a claimed 7-hours of juice in Pentium-equipped models, which is about an hour more than the SZ81 supposedly can muster using the same processor. Other than these relatively minor differences, the features on both laptops are basically the same, with integrated graphics (GeForce Go 7400 available for extra), from 512MB to 2GB of RAM, 802.11a/b/g, PCMCIA/ExpressCard slots, and options for Bluetooth 2.0, FeliCa support, and a fingerprint reader. Sony will drop both models on the 13th of this month, with the SZ81 starting at $1,343 and the SZ91 at $1,486.
