Didn’t one the Bugatti’s make more torque though?
They Forgot: Coolest best selling car ever: Ford Mustang.
Heaviest car is actually the G63 6x6, clocking at 3.85 tonnes.
That’s a truck doe
I object on the shortest car
for the Lowest ever car: 1956 Lotus Eleven you wrote 0.8 metres
wouldnt that mean 80 cm and it should be 0.08 metres
that would be 8cm, which would be silly
got an F in maths, didn’t you
Dat F1! After all those years, is still #1!
The most powerful N/A engine and the fastest N/A supercar is TVR Cerbera Speed Twelve (over 1000hp and over 240mph)
Not a production car. Two were made and only one was sold, hardly counts.
We all know that the shortest car ever made is the P45
That lotus can’t be 0.8m low. Because that’s really high..
0.8m = 80cm
From the ground to its top, bottom of wheels to the top of roof(if you can call it a roof)
Use the person in background as scale its 80 cm to top of the car
So 5 Peel P50 = 1 Maybach Pullman?
