Thus, it was built for the GT1 championship, of the FIA (International Automobile Federation). To participate, it was necessary to have streetcar prototypes, with a minimum number to be marketed.

It has a 6.5L V12 engine, M120, with 630 hp of power. Its look was identical to the one that participated in the GT1 world championship.

Hennessey Venom GT Spyder

The Venom GT Spyder is a convertible version of the Venom GT model and is almost as fast as its “sister” model.

In 2016, it unofficially became the fastest convertible car in the world. The reason for unofficial is that the Guinness Record requires cars to run a course in two directions and the Spyder achieved its top speed in only one direction.

The record book also requires that 30 cars of the same model be produced, and only 4 models had been sold at the time.

It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds

Bugatti Chiron

One of the first true supercars, it was also the fastest production car in the 1960s.

One of the most classic cars in cinema, and the passion of any geek who loves the 80’s, is Dr. Emmett Brown’s car.

Used in the Back to the Future franchise, the Delorean DMC-12 had only nine thousand units built between 1981 and 1982 and became a hit because of the movie.

In the movie, the car served as a time machine thanks to its flux capacitor developed by Dr. Brown, which led young Marty McFly to have an impressive experience between past and future.
