Most Expensive Cars In The World: Top 10

1. Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000. This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. It claims to be the fastest car with a top speed of 253 mph+. However, the title for the fastest car goes to the SSC Ultimate Aero which exceed 253 mph pushing this car to 2nd place for the fastest car.

2. Lamborghini  Reventon $1,600,000. The most powerful and the most expensive Lamborghini ever built is the second on the list. It takes 3.3 seconds to reach 60 mph and it has a top speed of 211 mph. Its rarity (limited to 20) and slick design are the reasons why it is so expensive and costly to own.

3. McLaren F1 $970,000. In 1994, the McLaren F1 was the fastest and most expensive car. Even though it was built 15 years ago, it has an unbelievable  top speed of 240 mph and reaching 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. Even as of today, the McLaren F1 is still top on the list and it

outperformed many other supercars.

4. Ferrari Enzo $670,000. The most known supercar ever built. The Enzo has a top speed of 217 mph and reaching 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Only 400 units were produced and it is currently being sold for over $1,000,000 at auctions.

5. Pagani Zonda C12 F $667,321. Produced by a small independent company in Italy, the Pagani Zonda C12 F is the 5th fastest car in the world. It promises to delivery a top speed of 215

mph+ and it can reach 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.

6. SSC Ultimate Aero $654,400. Don’t let the price tag fool you, the 6th most expensive car is actually the fastest street legal car in the world with a top speed of 257 mph+ and reaching 0-60 in 2.7 seconds. This baby cost nearly half as much as the Bugatti Veyron, yet has enough power to top the most expensive car in a speed race. It is estimated that only 25 of this exact model will ever be produced.

7. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo $555,000. The first true American production certified supercar, this cowboy is also rank 3rd for the fastest car in the world. It has a top speed of 248 mph+ and it can reach 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. If you are a true American patriot, you can be proud to show off this

car.

8. Koenigsegg CCX $545,568. Swedish made, the Koenigsegg is fighting hard to become the fastest car in the world. Currently, it is the 4th fastest car in the world with a top speed of 245 mph+, the car manufacture Koenigsegg is not giving up and will continue to try and produce the fastest car. Good luck with that!

9. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster $495,000. A GT supercar, the SLR McLaren is the fastest automatic transmission car in the world with a top speed of 206 mph+ and reaching 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. It is a luxurious convertible with a really powerful engine, which results in outstanding performances and style.

10. Porsche Carrera GT $440,000. A supercar with dynamic stability control and a top speed of 205 mph+ and it can reach 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. The Porsche Carrera GT applies the absolute calibers of a true racing car to offer an unprecedented driving feeling on the road.

Best Sports Car Of All Time: Top 10

[Source: Ride Lust]

1. Porsche 911It’s hard to believe that the top of this list could be occupied by a car with any ties to the VW Beetle, but alas, it is, and deservedly so. The 911 is the second oldest nameplate in continuous production (behind the Corvette) and it is the oldest living example of the air (now liquid) cooled longitudinally mounted rear engine technology pioneered by Porsche’s founder. Physics dictates that putting the engine in the rear of the car is quite possibly the worst place to put it as it causes

the car to violently oversteer into corners and makes stability an issue. Nonetheless, the story of the 911 is one of engineers progressively tweaking a car to succeed in spite of itself. When it comes to owning a supercar you can actually drive every day, the 911 is still the best game in town. The car exudes quality, restraint, and German car love and our own car lust. And it’s a car you can see on the street, and a car it’s okay to dream of owning, because used models are always available in a wide range of prices. It is fast, exotic, expensive, and delivers the sort of unadulterated joy of driving one could only expect from the best sports car ever made. And that is why the 911 rocks.

2. McLaren F1The McLaren F1 is still quite possibly the greatest road going car of all time. It may have abdicated its top speed crown of 240.1mph, but it did so without the help of forced induction, making it the fastest Naturally Aspirated road car to this day. The F1 has a unique three seat design, with the driver’s seat positioned in the middle, making entry and exit a bit of a pain, but it optimizes the driving experience, which is the F1’s most brilliant trait. There are few cars that can rival the F1’s ability to combine street car with race car, and still fewer do so in such a mature but still sexy exterior. But while the F1 excels in the performance category, its effect is mostly aspirational, inspiring future high-end exotics and our own lowly middle class visions of grandeur. Getting an F1 is like applying for public office: you need money, charisma, and clout, and even then, there aren’t always enough spots to go around. To an enthusiast, the F1 may be number 1, but in the whole scheme of things, it’s simply too exclusive.

3. Ferrari 250 GTOYou are looking not only at the best Ferrari of all time, but in some minds, the best sports car of all time period. Certainly, the former assertion would seem enough evidence to grant the latter. And certainly, this car is well deserving of its title as the Most Beautiful Car ever built, as its FR proportions are definitely easier on the eyes than any modern MR car. So why is it sitting here at number 3? Because an all-time list must take into account the breadth of a car’s effect, and while in its day, and in its place, the journalistic community could make a good case for placing it at number one, an all time list shouldn’t be dominated by a car that needs such an explanation. Both in terms of ground breaking performance and overarching effect on the population at large, the 250 GTO just doesn’t stack up against the final two cars on our list.

4. Bugatti VeyronWhat can be said about this car that hasn’t been said thousands of times, and sometimes even

cleverly? The Veyron brushes shoulders with the all-time greats not because of what it does, but how it does it. Top speed crowns are momentary honors inevitably passed on to the next generation. Already, the SSC Ultimate Aero and others have surpassed its 253mph top speed, but none have managed to improve on the ease with which the Veyron achieves its stupendous mark. It is composed at any speed, and it isn’t a stripped down street legal race car either, but includes all the amenities deserving of a 1.2 million dollar car. The Veyron has done what many said couldn’t, or even shouldn’t, be done–make a road worthy luxury grand-tourer capable of breaking the speed limit nearly four times over without getting too excited.

5. Lamborghini MiuraUp until the Miura, almost every sports car had been front engine/rear drive. And though De Tomaso had produced a mid-engine car already, the Miura popularized the idea, and became the trend setter for an entirely new age in high performance cars. By today’s standards, the Miura is a beast, just as tall and wide and long as a 599, but its dimensions house its little secret. You see, mid-engine cars weren’t always, and sometimes, still aren’t, very pretty to look at. Something about the proportions of a cabin-forward design just isn’t as intuitively pleasing to the eye as the aesthetic of a traditional FR car. Look at the Enzo, the Ford GT, the Audi R8, the Countach, the Carrera GT, and the Murcielago: they are all attractive, and exotic, and moving, but they aren’t exactly what we would call pretty. But the Miura, the Miura is pretty, and it is still one of the most significant cars ever produced.

6. Ferrari EnzoIf the F40 car was Enzo’s greatest going away present, the great must the Enzo Ferrari be if it was deemed worthy enough to bear its founder’s name? For the layman driver, this is about as close as you will ever get to the Formula 1 experience in a road car. The engine is, again, in the middle, a V12 with 660HP and a top speed of 220mph, making the performance as insane as the flamboyant body design. It’s not exactly pretty, per se, but rather so weird as to be exotic looking, much the same way the Countach wooed us way back when. The instant you see it, you see the money it’s rolling over as well, and you notice the guy in the driver seat isn’t you, and the whole fatal attraction begins. There were only 400 of these ever made, but the number of actual surviving units decreases seemingly on a monthly basis. Unlike the Murcielago, there is in fact a shrine dedicated to Enzo deaths (all of them untimely) which reminds us all of how important it is to keep rich celebrities out of these cars. But we aren’t likely to preserve many of them without being movie stars or pro athletes ourselves. Oh, damn you Catch-22!

7. Nissan SkylineA car of, by, and for the Playstation Generation. That’s what the Skyline is. It was so extreme it was banned from the very streets of North America, and it was so dominant on the racing circuit, it was banned from certain competitions just to give other racers a chance. And the newest model, the R35 GTR, is simply the craziest most insanely capable version yet. It’s entirely programmable, from its engine to its four wheel drive, and it gives the driver more readouts than could be humanly possible to even care about. On the outside, the Skyline is almost in disguise, keeping the monster inside under wraps until that red light or that twisty mountain road comes up, and then a quick downshift and a whistle from the blow-off valve herald the release of “Godzilla” from its mundane trappings. It’s all very dramatic to be sure. But the Skyline appeals to people who are used to shifting gears with their index fingers and driving with their thumbs, and in non-numerical terms, the Skyline is rather plain. It has all the personality of a can opener, and the curb appeal of an Edmund Spenser poem–sure its beautiful, and undoubtedly significant, but you have to know something about British Literature to appreciate it. All those without a Masters in Tuning and Ricing need not apply.

8. Chevrolet Stingray CorvetteThis was the first, and in many ways, still the only real American sports car, and in the 1960s, the Stingray was everything red, white, and blue all rolled into one. It was loud, showy, and shamelessly self-aggrandizing. It was muscle bound, torquey, and was about as refined as a bowl of chili cheese fries. One of the truly remarkable things about the car, though, was its small block V8, which managed to give a small car all the performance of a larger engine in a compact package. The car was still no star in the corners, but that’s okay. Route 66 doesn’t have many corners, nor does a one-finger salute, and those were the two things the Stingray was made for.

9. Jaguar E-TypeWhen the E-Type hit the streets, Enzo Ferrari declared it was the most beautiful car ever built. But to really grasp the car’s true nature within the context of the 1960s, you have to consult, nay, yield to your inner Freudian, and accept the fact that this is also the most phallic car ever produced. Sort of a horizontal expression of man’s intentions. Because without that slightly dirty

connotation, the E-Type’s charm is completely lost. This Jag was Britain’s rebellious yet groovy “Yawp” from the rooftops of the world, and signaled their dramatic cultural revival from the darkness of post-World War reconstruction. Like many things British, though, the Jag was exceptionally endearing because (and in spite of) its gratuitous mechanical shortcomings, and anyone who has one knows what I’m talking about, and does not need me to remind them about the steering. Or the headlights. Or the brakes. Or the overheating issues…

10. Mercedes-Benz 300SL GullwingThe 300SL represents the perfect mixture of form and function, and is a surviving testament to German engineering excellence in 1954 when this car stunned the world at the New York Auto Show. It is undeniably pretty, but in a restrained sort of way–very disciplined, very Prussian. It was the fastest car in its day, partially because it was also the first production car to use fuel injection, and partially because of its super light tubular frame, which made the use of those idiosyncratic ‘Gullwing’ doors necessary. By today’s standards, it is not the most brilliant car in the world to drive, but taking into account its effect on the future of automobiles, the SL certainly deserves to be at least this high on the list.

gliest Cars: Top 10

Here are the great list of cars who have made a WORLD RECORD. They got the position for the ugliest cars. How on the world could producers create such cars. Anyway enjoy!

1. Pontiac Aztek: This luxurious cars made the biggest record in Vehiclez. Pontiac has been working for this stylish car, that’s for sure. No matter it has some features, it is not liked for its over-horrible front side and rest body. Wayne Cherry, designer, has designed this car who also designed the  famous modern classics like Pontiac Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. Cherry had his bad lucks lighten  when he designed Aztek.

2. Fiat Multipla: Nice family car and it is quite perfect for a family with six members. But it looks very curvy and it is. It has not one pair of headlights, but two. this is what makes it so weird. Fiat still produces Multipla, with a new version. No matter new one looks better; no one is going to forget its predecessor.

3. SsangYong Rodius: Korean automaker SsangYong Motor Company has created this automobile in 2004 with good success in australia in 2006. The mistake made by SsangYong is similar to Fiat’s Multipla. It is too stylish, which makes it ugly. But Vehiclez appreciates its rims.

4. Austin Allegro/Vanden Plas: Looks good but ugly. This car’s most unfavorable condition is it has Rolls-Royce style grille that looks crap on a compact saloon. This old car is far better than above cars which are much newer. Don’t forget this one’s position is 4.

5. Porsche Cayenne: We know it is surprising a luxurious car to be ugly. But it is the truth, this car faces certain problems.

6. AMC Pacer: This racing-looking car isn’t so bad. But because of it’s unruled structure it has got bad names. This car is mostly posed at the back because the front is much horrible.

7. Ford Scorpio: This type of car must have been seen in action movies. The car has cool smiling beak. The lights looks weak and back isn’t polished.

8. Hummer: Nowadays it is famous with high inch rims. No one will agree this that hummer is one of them. Actually hummer is over-sized. If you have seen a Hummer in ordinary roads, you must have realized that it face problems for it”s size.

9. Austin Princess/Ambassador: Originally known as the Austin/Morris/Wolseley 18-22, it was subsequently rebranded as the Princess (the death knell for Wolseley as a brand name) and later facelifted as the Ambassador.

10. Chrysler PT Cruiser: This retro-styled compact automobile isn’t so good. Chrysler still manufactures it; but looks boring.

Modern Muscle Cars: Top 10

[Source: About.com]

Originally a muscle car could be described as a monster V-8 stuffed into a mid-size Detroit sedan with whatever suspension mods were available. Times have changed. Now we describe as a muscle car any 4-seater with massive horsepower (which could even come from a V-6), country of origin unimportant. If you want cheap performance buy a sport compact but if your enthusiasm remains with the deep growl of a multi-cylinder engine, the cars listed here should more than satisfy your 0-60 urges.

1. Cadillac CTS-CA rejuvenated Cadillac has set its sights on performance, traveling far from hometown proving

grounds to Germany’s fabled Nurburgring race track in order to fine-tune the handling. “V” is your cue if you’d like your Cadillac to run with Europe’s best. And indeed it does.

2. Chrysler 300 HemiYour Guide is not a fan of the 300’s upright styling, gunslit windows, and “get outta my way” grille but we’d never utter a whisper against the Hemi engine’s rear-drive performance. Good old Americana presented for a new millenium, probably the most affordable of all the cars listed here.

3. Pontiac GTOCan an Australian Murano be Americanised enough to satisfy US buyers? GM thought so when it attempted to revive the GTO without spending a small fortune. The Aussies have always built hot racers, and this one, fitted with a Corvette engine, is no exception.

4. Acura TLNow the foreigners get into the game. And why not? If this be the muscle car Olympics, everyone should be eligible. The all-new TL is loaded with power plus every techno-trick to keep it on the road. Purists may resent front-wheel-drive but beware, because driving technique wins every time.

5. Infiniti G35What we said about the TL applies equally here. Infiniti, however, has pushed it to the max, with bold styling and an award-winning V-6 engine. Drive this car and don’t worry about the big V-8s of the past. You are the future. If only your future included those 60’s GTO prices.

6. Jaguar S-Type RPerhaps we’re pushing it to suggest a Jaguar as a muscle car. But the sedan behind the soul of the current S-Type R took on the best of American muscle cars in 60’s road racing and frequently finished out front. The new model is ferociously fast and still manages to look cool.

7. Mercedes-Benz E55 AMGNo, AMG does not stand for “almighty God!” though that’s what you might shout when the slam-in-the-back acceleration of this one hits you. Forget 0-60, think 0-150. In truth, AMG is Mercedes’ performance division, adding tons of power while still remaining elegant and luxurious.

8. Volvo S60 RThe days when Volvos were best known for safety and undistinguished styling are long gone, and nothing shows off the change better than the “R” version of Volvo’s mid-range sedan. With a turbocharged 5-cylinder engine and all-wheel-drive it may not fit the classic definition of a muscle car, so think 300 hp and 6-speed manual.

9. BMW M3Back in the late 70’s BMW set the standard for letter cars with its sensational M racing coupes. The 3-Series is compact by muscle car standards but with 333 hp, who cares? “M” in this instance definitely means muscle.

10. Bentley Continental GTOkay, maybe a $250,000 coupe is pushing the paramaters but surely we’re entitled to have a little fun here, folks. If you can disregard the price consider that the new Continental has 4-seats, rear drive, and comes with a twin-turbo W-12 engine boasting 552 hp. Plus, it’s absolutely gorgeous.
