most expensive car

A new price record was set in 2022. It formerly belonged to the Ferrari 250 GTO sports car and lasted for decades – each resale was more profitable than the last (48.4 million, then $70 million).

But on May 5, 2022, the Mercedes-Museum will comeBenz In Stuttgart he auctioned one of his two 1955 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupés, the most powerful racing car of its time, to RM Sotheby’s, which ultimately never raced. Bought for 135 million euros.

The fastest car

For a long time, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds was only a dream. But thanks to new technologies (especially tire technology), this was possible. Electric car Rimac Nevera with a capacity of 1914 hp reached the speed of 100 km/h in 1.97 seconds. That is faster than a Formula 1 car, but a few hundredths slower than the cars in the FIA ​​rallycross championship.

However, on September 23, 2022, the car in the photo above accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 1,461 seconds. A new record that has overcome the psychological barrier of “1.5”! It was an experimental vehicle built by students at the University of Stuttgart in Germany.

The car is called E0711–11Evo. Its engines have a total power of 245 hp and thanks to a small battery, the car weighs only 145 kg.

longest car

In 1986, American filmmaker Jay Orberg built the American Dream, an 18.28 m long limousine based on a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado. In 1992 he completed the car and increased the length to 30.51 m. But a few years later the car was abandoned and fell into disrepair.

In 2015, the limousine decided to restore. Work ended in March 2022 and the limousine is again the longest car in the world.
