Origina Kiw Hot Rod, Westgate, Auckland, New Zealand (David Lim)


I took these two photo with my Nokia E71 while having my afternoon coffee near Westgate shopping area. The restoration quality and the paint job is really superb done by the owner. This hot rod is comparable to those I saw back in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, USA. (Note: you can click on the respective picture for a larger view).

Top Ten Fastest Car n the world! David Lim, Auckland, New Zealand

Bugatti Veyron
Top Speed: 252.2 mph
1001 Horsepower
No surprises here, the fastest and most powerful production car ever makes the top of the list. I wonder when Koenigsegg will decide to take the #1 position and beef up the CCX.

Koenigsegg CCX
Top Speed: 250 mph
900 Horsepower As said above, we expect Koenigsegg to take the number one spot eventually; those crazy Swedes aren’t fooling around.

Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo
Top Speed: 248 mph
750 Horsepower
VCars didn’t specify that it’s an S7 Twin-Turbo, but that’s what they’re talking about. This is one bad-ass car.

McLaren F1
Top Speed: 240.14
620 Horsepower
Can you believe this? The McLaren F1 was made in 1994, 13 years ago, and it’s still one of the fastest cars in the world. This happens to be the first car on this list I would purchase if I had the cash. Then I’d buy the Koenigsegg.

Ferrari Enzo
Top Speed: 217 mph
657 Horsepower
Ferrari’s newest Mega-Car seems to have people crashing it left and right, but the drivers always walk away fine (physically.) With only 399 of these ever made, the value of the car goes up with each crash.

Jaguar XJ220
Top Speed: 217 mph
549 Horsepower
Even older than the McLaren F1, the Jaguar XJ220 has been on this list since 1992. Be sure to check out the Pininfarina version as well.

Pagani Zonda Roadster
Top Speed: 215 mph
602 Horsepower Yes, we know this is a picture of the Roadster, not the Zonda F. With Pagani’s new Zonda R on the way, the Zonda might be creeping up on this list faster than Bugatti can say “We need bigger turbos.”

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
Top Speed: 213 mph
633 Horsepower VCars got a little bit confused here. The title suggests they mean the standard Murcielago, but the top speed and pictures tell us they’re talking about the LP640. Let’s clear this up a bit…the horsepower on the LP640 is 640 (hence the name,) and the hp rating on the standard Murcielago is 580.

Porsche Carerra GT
Top Speed: 209 mph
605 Horsepower
Porsche’s fastest, most attractive (and most expensive) car to date comes in at #9.

Mercedes McLaren SLR


Top Speed: 207 mph
626 Horsepower

What is the world's smallest street legal car?

Created by the Peel Engineering Company in 1962 the The Peel P50 is the world's smallest street legal car. The car is only 53 inches long and 39 inches wide and weighs a feathery 132 pounds. The Peel P50 can reach staggering speeds of 40 MPH on it's three wheels. The only drawback is the car has no reverse gear, but with the attached handle it's easy to maneuver it yourself.
