The Rimac Nevera is the quickest production car in the world … pretty much any way you slice it.
The $2.2 million electric car set 23 acceleration and braking records in a single day on April 30 at a test track in Germany.
The 1,914 hp Nevera sprinted to 60 mph in 1.74 seconds, beating the 1.79-second mark set last year by the Pininfarina Battista, which is built on the same battery-powered platform.
It also ran a quarter-mile in 8.25 seconds and a half-mile in 12.82 seconds.
Its braking prowess was demonstrated with a run from 0 mph to 249 mph and back to 0 mph that it completed in 29.93 seconds, more than a second quicker that the previous record.

1953 Buick Skylark Convertible
Buick introduced the Grand National in 1982 as an appearance package for the Regal. By 1984, it had evolved into a more formidable vehicle with a black exterior, upgraded suspension, aluminum wheels, and a turbocharged V-6 engine. Buick’s chief engineer, Dave Sharpe, aimed to create a special car to mark the end of the Grand National line as it transitioned to a new front-wheel-drive design in 1988.
To develop the GNX (Grand National Experiment), Buick collaborated with ASC McLaren, known for their production of Buick’s turbocharged V-6 Indycar engines. The GNX featured a high-performance Garrett turbo, improved intercooler, revised engine management, enhanced transmission, and a free-flow exhaust system.
With over 275 horsepower, 360 pound-feet of torque, and additional aesthetic upgrades like black lace alloy wheels, larger tires, rear-axle torque arms with a Panhard bar, and functional front fender vents reminiscent of classic Buicks, the GNX combined performance enhancements with luxury amenities. Its popularity led Buick to produce 547 units, surpassing the original plan of 200 due to high demand.

Phil Croft is bringing out his custom '48 GMC COE ramp truck, and his '41 Willys "Instigator" gasser to the American Hot Rodders Show May 27th, 2023 at Holly Springs Motorsports in Holly Springs MS.
The 1934 Alvis Firefly was a relatively large British car, spanning a 118-inch wheelbase—just five inches shorter than the Speed 20. The 1496cc (91.3cid) ohv engine developed 50 brake horsepower at 4250rpm. Similar in design to the Speed 20 engine, albeit with two fewer cylinders, the Firefly’s four promised a top speed close to 70mph. The sporty Firefly’s low chassis height and rather wide track no doubt contributed to its reportedly excellent handling characteristics.
Any mentions of how many times they had to charge it?
