Amazing Cars

1. There are a few technological wonders that have defined the modern world. The telephone, steam engine, radio, television and computer are all strong contenders. However for their diversity, usefulness and the interest they all too often create the amazing cars of the world will be the top wonder for many people. Over 50 million passenger cars are produced each year but don t worry we are only going to look at ten of them. These amazing cars a .....

Smallest Amazing Car

2. The first of our top ten amazing cars is the Peel P50 powered by a mighty 49cc engine has a top speed of 38 miles per hour. At 54 inches long and 39 inches wide this tiny production car grabs the smallest slot. They were first made in 1962 and sold for ?199, a price as small as the car itself. This 3 wheeler was assembled in the Isle of Man of all places. Due to its size the P50 would have got you 100 miles to the gallon. .....

Fastest Amazing Car

3. Although they are amazing cars built for speed, the Bugatti Veyrons are NOT the fastest cars out there. That accolade rests with the SSC Ultimate Aero.

Most Expensive Amazing Car

4. Although the Bugatti loses out on speed it can claim the number one spot as the most expensive production car in the world. Even the tyres of these amazing cars are expensive at an estimated $25,000. If you are thinking of buying one it will set you back $1,700,000. .....

Worlds Cheapest Amazing Car

5. India s car market has catered for a land with a population that does not have a bottomless wallet. Tata Motors has produced the Tata Nano. Which sells for a mere $2,500 which incidentally is the approximately the same price as the P50 if you adjust the prices for inflation. The initial production run will be a quarter of a million cars. Sometimes amazing cars are affordable. .....

Oldest Still Running Amazing Car

6. The De Dion Bouton et Trepardoux ranks as in the amazing cars category because at 126 years old, this steam powered car is the oldest car in the world that still runs. Built in 1884 this car was around 12 years before Henry Ford produced his first. Modern cars measure their acceleration in seconds, this car would measure in minutes, thirty of them, to reach a top speed of around 35 miles an hour. .....

Armoured Amazing Car

7. If you were paranoid about safety then you would probably want to go for the most heavily armoured car. The Prombron is produced by a Russian company, the Dartz group. Not only is this car coated in kevlar amongst other modifications it also carries gold plated bullet proof windows. .....

Largest Amazing Car

8. The Bugatti company steals in with the largest car. Sometimes known as the Bugatti 41, The Bugatti Royale is a beast at 7,000 pounds (3175kg).

1986 Mercedes Benz AMG Hammer

13. Mercedes Benz s skunkworks studio AMG is known for some pretty exceptional vehicles, but none so impressive as the AMG Hammer.

1991 GMC Syclone

2003 Corvette 50th Anniversary Edition

17. The Chevrolet Corvette that was going to commemorate the five decades that the nameplate had been in production was originally going to be white and red, like the original 1953 model, so it was a bit of a surprise when a lustrous burgundy with Xirallic aluminum oxide flakes floating under a special tinted clear coat and complemented by special Shale interior trim with anniversary badges and cockpit embroidery was shown off. As many as 10,000 .....

Chrysler 300 John Varvatos Edition

18. Eddie Bauer and Ford s relationship is just one example of an outfitter and automaker teaming up; L.L. Bean and Subaru have done the same, as have Gucci and Fiat. But the John Varvatos edition Chrysler 300C is perhaps on of the nicest examples of such an alliance, and unlike many other vehicles on this list, is isn t limited to a negligible production run. Buyers will be treated to titanium finished rims, gauges and a clock inspired by John Varv .....

BMW 1 Series M Coupe

19. The BMW 1 Series M was a sort of Frankenstein type project that the company worked on just for fun perhaps not realizing that the 1 M may have become one of the best cars BMW has made in recent memory. BMW took the standard 1 Series coupe, and made some tweaks to turn the smallest car in BMW s lineup into a complete animal. The wheel arches are flared, the car is slightly lowered, there s a straight six engine at the front, a manual gearbox .....

2006 Chevrolet Silverado Intimidator SS

Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels Edition
