5. The Lightest Car
Even in the rarefied world of lightweight track
day sportscars, the Roadrazer stands out
from it's peers due to it's amazingly low
300kg kerb weight. When coupled with the
power of a 175bhp Suzuki Hayabusa bike
engine, the Roadrazer's power to weight
jumps to an impressive 593 bhp/ton - higher
than a Bugatti Veyron. The resulting
acceleration is astounding, with the 0-
60mph sprint taking less than 3 seconds.
There is seating for two but to further
emphasise it's unusual design, the
Roadrazer places them in tandem in the
tight confines of the carbonfibre chassis and
bodywork. £35000 is the cost for the
ultimate lightweight trackday special, that is
amazingly fully road legal. It weighs only
661 pounds.
6. The fastest car

engined grand touring car, designed and
developed by the Volkswagen Group and
manufactured in Molsheim, France by

the fastest street-legal production car in the
world, with a top speed of 431.072 km/h
(267.856 mph).4 The original version has a
top speed of 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph).5 It
was named Car of the Decade (2000–2009)
by the BBC television programme Top Gear.
The standard Veyron won Top Gear's Best
Car Driven All Year award in 2005.
• The Veyron's chief designer was Hartmut
Warkuss, and the exterior was designed by
Jozef Kabaň of Volkswagen, with much of
the engineering work being conducted
under the guidance of engineering chief
Wolfgang Schreiber. Though commissioned
by Volkswagen, this car is only sold through
the Bugatti manufacturers and cannot be
found at any Volkswagen dealer.
