Volkswagen Golf


Make / model: Volkswagen Golf W12-650 
Price: N/A 
BHP: 650
0-62mph: 4.3
Top Speed: 202mph

Surely a Volkswagen Golf can’t be faster than a Ferrari F40? It can. The W12-650 was a concept designed in just six weeks for a German car show. It didn’t handle too well, but who cares? It’s a 202mph Golf.

Runner-up: Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe

The Lamborghini Gallardo is a stunning-looking car and handles far better than the Golf W12-650. But it’s the runner-up purely because the crazy Veedub is a one-of-a-kind.

Make / model: Honda NSX Type-R
Price: N/A
BHP: 280
0-62mph: 4.4 seconds
Top speed: 168mph

A car developed by Formula One legend Ayrton Senna was always going to be a beauty. The Honda NSX Type-R was never officially sold in the UK, but you’ll still find them on Britain’s roads, thanks to their dynamic looks and brilliant handling.

Runner-up: Hummer H1

It’s one of the ugliest cars on the road, drinks more than an 18th Century sailor and isn’t particularly fast. But there’s something about the Hummer H1 which brings out the excited child in us.
