Pls, use nm instead of pound feet
And i taught lowest car ever was Probe 16.
I just saw that the Rolls is the heaviest car made. When did they stop making the Hellcat?
My ‘96 Mercedes SL600 is about 5.5k pounds, so it’s pretty much a megaladon compared to a Hellcat… and V12 so haha.
Charger Hellcat’s curb weight is ~4600 lbs. A 2011 Bentley Continental GT is ~5,115 lbs. Hellcat has never been the heaviest.
Wait but…….the LaFerrari is a hybrid though but its still considered N/A? wut?
They’re just counting the v12 as hybrid systems don’t directly affect the performance of the engine they just add more power separately
N/A = Naturally Aspirated.
That just means non-turbo basically.
An added electric motor doesn’t change that fact.
Wheres the Challanger? Isn’t it the longest production car now on sale?
Not even close
But what about the P45?
Obviously it’s the P50 wich is the lightest car on sale … not the atom
Currently on sale.
One:1?
The corolla got lost and ended up in this article
Longest car ever?
