Yeah, Cadillac had a V16 from '30 to '37. It was 7.4L, 452ci. Roughly 165hp and 320 lb.ft torque. The were "giant ass," too, weighing in around 5000 lbs.

The Marmon Sixteen is one of the great "classic cars" of all time. They only made 350 of them between '31 and '33, and prices average around $175,000 for one in good shape. They had a 490ci V16 with ~200 hp, in a car weighing between 5000 and 5400 lbs depending on coachwork.


What's the fastest production car of all time? The fastest I know about is the McLaren F1, at 231 mph or so. But I know that the Jaguar XJ220, the Bugatti EB110/112 and the Porsche 959 were all capable of speeds in the 220 mph range... anyone know? What about the new Bugatti Veyron, or the Vector M12??

Also - anyone know the most/least expensive? I though the McLaren was upwards of a cool million... and aren't there some Korean cars which are less than $8000 when new??
