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??

 

What about that concept car Cadillac built? I think it's called the 16 and it has a V16 13.6 liter engine that works.

 

i heard the ford focus has the most recalls in history.

 

the model T was $150 brand new i believe. It was the cheapest car ever made i would assume, of course at the time its production was revolutionary.

 

Yep the Mini was called a Mini for a reason but I believe the Isetta was even smaller.

Ferrari 250 GTO hold the record for the highest price ever paid for a car... In auction not when new.

Yugo $3995 buy a little freedom I believe was their campaign. But The original Pintos sold for $2000 or so I think.

 

original datsun bluebird cost only a few hundred yen. equal to about 6 dollars american. of course, not available here

 

pintos are like old school civics

i gotta know what domestic car had the lowest production numbers though...

 

Tucker? but I guess they weren't technically in production...

 

$6?!?!

I'd buy one!

 

I have a new one - record for largest 4-cylinder engine ever produced. The Renault Grand Prix cars of the early early EARLY days (1900s)...

I came across this: 13.0L, 791cu, bore/stroke: 166mm X 150mm, 105hp.
