It’s fast. It’s loud and it’s named after a Cold War bomber. It is of course the Aston Martin Vulcan… 1: It’s very exclusive To be able to see a Vulcan is a brilliant thing, but to own one? Well you have to be very wealthy for that to happen. If everyone in the UK chipped in 33p we could buy a Vulcan. Of course that would never happen as all 24 units are accounted for.

The Bugatti Chiron is one of the greatest engineering accomplishments in the last decade so it would only be fitting to learn some obscure facts about the Chiron. It’s time for some Fast Facts! It’s a heavy drinker Now I know Hypercars aren’t meant to be economical but in the Chiron it’s a whole new story. At 261 MPH the fuel tank will run out from full in a mere 6 minutes and 49 seconds.

Taking over the Long Tail tradition from the F1 GTR LT is no easy feat but, the 675LT takes that challenge in its stride. This is Fast Facts and today we’re looking at the awesome McLaren 675LT… The 675LT has a burnout mode Yep that’s right, this lap time munching Hypercar in disguise has a mode dedicated to leaving thick, black elevens on the tarmac like it’s a blank canvas. To enable this mode you need to turn off the ESC and put the car into launch control and away you go. You’ll be leaving elevens at every junction now.

Koenigsegg. Not only is it a very difficult to pronounce name but it is also a byword of speed, power and quality. So where did it all start? That’s what I’m about to tell you. So sit down buckle up and grab a cold one because I’m about to show you a brief history of Koenigsegg. Koenigsegg was founded in Sweden in 1994 by Christian Von Koenigsegg. A man who has a name that makes him sound like a Bond villain but actually he looks like a really happy egg. Koenigsegg delivered their first production car in 2002 but Koenigsegg as we know really kicked off in 2006.

What’s the best Volvo ever made? Or the craziest touring car? Well it’s the Volvo 850R of course! So what’s the history of this car? That is what we’re about to find out… To start, we need to look at the 850 T-5 R. The year was 1995 and Volvo released the 850 T-5 R (the 850’s first performance variant). It was a 5 cylinder, limited run hit and this is what spawned the R. The popularity of the T-5 R gave Volvo the confidence to release the 850 R in 1996.

Hello and welcome to my thoughts on 4 cars that I think will become future classics. So let’s get to it! Toyota GT86 Now for the first car. The Toyota GT86. The GT86 is a car that I didn’t particularly like when it first came out but over time it has found its way to my list of affordable dream cars. I think this will be a future classic because it is a great driver’s car even if it is down on power. If the power is a problem you could buy the HKS version of the GT86 for more POWER!!!
