Now, one of the most common and controversial topics that there is to discuss in the whole car world is who makes the best cars? Well I don't want to start an online war so i am going to take a little different spin on the subject. Instead of trying to crown an overall best car in the world. I am going to highlight what countries or regions are the best in a certain field.
Straight line performance
Now, what I mean when i say straight line performance is who makes the best vehicle to get down a drag strip the fastest without turning a steering wheel at all. The obvious choice would have to be the U.S. on this one. There are thousands of purpose built cars all across the country designed for just drag racing. The kings of these straight line monsters are the top-fuel dragsters, which as i highlighted in an earlier blog can reach speeds of over 330 miles per hour in less than 1000 feet. No other vehicle on the planet besides those powered by rockets or military jets being launched off of an aircraft carrier ever put the driver through the 5+ g's of acceleration that these dragsters can unleash upon the driver. They are the undisputed kings of this realm.
Pro-stock road course racing
The easiest choice for this category of taking super cars made for the elites and can be found driving of the roads belongs to Koenigsegg from . With the production of their new One:1 car, they have created the most powerful pound for pound car in the world. With one horsepower for every kilogram that it weighs (a feat once though to be impossible not too long ago) they have created the first car with a 1:1 power to weight ratio. With this coupled with some of the most advanced and innovative racing designs ever, the One:1 simply outruns everything else out there.
Burnouts
Quite possibly my favorite part about cars is watching a good burnout. Although the new Dodge Hellcats present a strong case for the kings of burnouts, the crown must go to not a single car, but to a whole region. That region in Australia. These crazy bastards love their burnouts. They will take cars that weigh about as much as a smart car, put a motor that costs more than a new Corolla into it, and do burnouts in front of massive crowds. If you need any further convincing as to why they deserve the crown, check this out. I promise that you wont be disappointed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMkpizqclnY
Luxury performance cars
This was a little harder to find the best at first. But then I realized that I wasn't even thinking in the right ballpark. The choice became clear. My choice is the Rolls Royce Phantom extended wheelbase edition. Starting at a cool $420,000, it is the epitome of luxury and craftsmanship. All these cars are still 100% handmade and have no rivals for top dog in the luxury world. These timeless classics are what all aspiring moguls dream of owning but few ever do.
Trucks
There is no competition for the king of the world of trucks. This company has outsold all competitors with the same product for over 39 years in a row. If you have seen any of the commercials, you know that i am talking about the Ford F-series. The combinations of plentiful options, fresh designing, new innovations, ruggedness and versatility are what has given this company the stranglehold on the market for so long.
Non-stock racing cars
These vehicles include anything found only on the racetracks all across the world, wit the key difference between this category and the other track category is that these cars are not street legal. Throughout all of the different classes and racing circuits, there is one clear superior class of race cars. That class is Formula One. With the top dogs of the Formula One teams being Ferrari. With more that 2 times the number of world titles as compared to the next best team, and well over 530 race podium appearances to their name, the are easily the best throughout time.
