10 Greatest Car of All Time

**daimengrui** · August 20th, 2008 09:29 AM

What do you think is the greatest car ever built - all time.

PS. since this is a potentially "argumentation" prone topic kindly avoid counter opinions. Just put your ideas on the platter without opposing someone else's idea. In short don't be conversational.

Hard to pick pero I'd say...
VW Beetle - for its unusually odd design that went smash hit
Porsche 911 - the car that made that number for famous
Toyota Corolla - The People's Car
Ford Mustang - Maybe ford's greatest sports car / sedan ever.
BMW M3 - list wont be complete without a BMW
The Jeep - Its ww2 legacy lives on even to this day
Honda Civic - World's most customized sedan
MacLaren F1 - no need to elaborate the name says it all
Smart Four2 - Car of the future

and The Ford Model T Tin Lizze

Rolls Royce "Silver Ghost"

Click above for high-res gallery of Jay’s Tank Car in Monterey
We were as surprised as anyone to see Jay Leno’s name on the entry list for this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Then we saw that he would be arriving in a 1953 Chrysler. As nice as 1953 Chryslers may be, Jay’s is pretty special. It’s an imposing custom hot rod that is powered by a 28.4-liter Chrysler built tank engine. Most people call it the Tank Car, and last year this time it was on display across the country at the Woodward Dream Cruise. The heart of the Tank Car is the 1792 cid V-12 Continental-designed, Chrsyler-built tank engine that in turbocharged form puts out something like 1,600 hp and 3,000 ft-lbs. of torque. The engine alone weighs 2,000 lbs and easily qualifies Jay’s car in this year’s featured 20+ liter class.
While performance isn’t this car’s main goal, it can scoot along pretty well with all of that power being routed through an Allison 6-speed transmission. Switching from the original 3-speed trans doubled Leno’s gas mileage, which now stands at around 5 mpg. As bad as that might seem, it comes across as almost reasonable when you hear it guzzles 80 quarts of oil every time Jay swings through a Jiffy Lube. We have to admit that we were among the many fans who rushed to see the car as Jay entered the Pebble Beach fairway. It’s really a spectacular sight, even at an event that is known to stop even seasoned auto afficianados in their tracks every few seconds

In no particular order.

1. Land Rover Defender - it's always busy doing something important somewhere
2. VW Beetle - longest-lived car I believe
3. Toyota Corolla - because there are just so damn many of these
4. Bugatti Veyron EB16.4 - mass-produced. 400 km/h. Enough said
5. Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) - the most well-rounded luxury car ever made
6. Honda Civic - a blank canvas for a lot of grassroots racers
7. VW Golf MkI (1974) - the very first hot hatch
8. BMC/Morris Mini - the successful front-wheel-drive pioneer
9. Willys-Overland Jeep - the spiritual father of all SUVs
10. Ford Model T - the one that started it all

1. Bugatti Veyron - the ultimate car
2. Jaguar E-Type - high speed capabilities but without the high price (at the time)
3. Land Rover Discovery - goes everywhere
4. VW Golf Mk 1 - yup, what is really a sports car with everyday practicality
5. BMW 2002 - one of the first small 4-door sports sedans
6. McLaren F1 - probably the first real hypercar
7. Nissan Skylines (R32, R33, R34, GT-R) - breaks the rules of physics literally
8. Austin 7 - was the first mass-market car to be fitted with a 'conventional' control layout
9. Willys Jeep CJ - forerunner of the modern SUV
10. Porsche 911 - the everyday supercar
