List of Automotive Superlatives - 10-28-2006, 03:50 PM

Take a look at this list from Wikipedia, tons of great information

- ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

This specific quote struck me:

Most torque

"Petrol (naturally-aspirated) - 760 N·m (561 ft·lb-ft), 2005 - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER F 7.3 L (7291 cc/445 in³) V12 engine.

Honorable Mention: 1760 N·m (1298.1 ft·lbf), 2006 Weineck Cobra 780 cui Limited Edition (12782 cc/780 in³) V8 engine. (Production car status is debatable.)

Petrol (forced-induction) - 1250 N·m (922 ft·lbf), 2005 - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER 8.0 L (7993 cc/488 in³) - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER W16 engine."

Now for a naturally aspirated engine i've looked and have only found one naturally aspirated vehicle with more torque, but whether it qualfies or not is to debate. The TVR Speed 12 is the vehicle, it's 7.7 litre V12 develops a little over 900Nm, however the Speed 12 never made it into production, only one was made for the road. So that excludes it from being a production vehicle. So for current production vehicles it does have the most. However if i am correct the CLK GTR had 775Nm, but then the Zonda F Clubsport has 780Nm. Is there any vehicle above that? In production or out of production? (must be road legal and naturally aspirated)

Not arguing, just curious

I forgot, Wikipedia is wrong on the width!

The Invicta S1-320 is 84.0 inches and the XJ220: 87.4 inches. I'll update it into Wikipedia

-Updated most torque to Zonda F ClubSport with 780Nm, added CLK GTR as honorable mention
-Updated width,
-Updated fast saloon (wasn't sure to put whether to put the Brabus V12 Rocket, i put the EV12)
-Updated the Veyron for 0-200 km/h and 0-300 km/h, added honorable mention of McLaren F1
-Updated Displacement chart, added Zonda as honorable mention
