These are racers based
on production cars that have to retain stock components like the chassis and engine.
Turns out, it's probably the coolest damn - near - ready
for production car of the entire event.
Unfortunately there will most probably never be a second run
of production cars displaying the character of the cars described above.
This is the first time that a 10 - speed automatic gearbox has been used in a front - wheel
drive production car.
It's much more technically challenging, and more meaningful, to develop a car that seeks to be the fastest - ever
series production car on a racing circuit.
They're meant to showcase some bit of design language that will eventually filter down
into production cars, though.
Regardless of who wins, it never gets old watching two of the most expensive and
powerful production cars on the planet going all - out.
Here are 10 of the most expensive street

The various horsepower and torque numbers made available in

After all, who wouldn't want to jump inside the model to experience the highest horsepower V8

When the decade began, the main mission of a futuristic concept car was to draw auto show attendees to an automaker's display, where
regular production cars also would get noticed.
We're still in discussion about these details, so we don't know what the
final production car will use yet.
The use of straight - five petrol engines in
mass production cars only became truly viable with the advent of reliable fuel injection.
Also,
future production cars that are shown first as concept vehicles give automakers a chance to display their upcoming vehicles early.
Production cars don't generally squeeze 480 horsepower out of a V - 6, or have the transmission mounted at the rear axle.
The automatic transmission remains an image problem, but it can be a mechanical issue as well, especially on
early production cars.
However, no production resulted as just before 1958 competition rules were revised to permit the tuning of
standard production cars.
Both concepts are previews of the series
production cars set to be revealed over the course of next year.
On - road performance is everything you would expect from a company that already produces one of the fastest
accelerating production cars in the world.
The basic structure and the stretched greenhouse of the series
production car remain basically unchanged.
We knew going in that the M3 and M4 were one of the best straight - from - the
factory production cars to drift, but this really drives the point home.
The extension of the partnership between the tire brand and the
top production car - based racing series will run through the 2018 season.
You can whip it down the road with utter confidence, relying on the fluid actions and response that you might expect of a
true production car.
What it does have going for it, though, is one of the best interiors and highest perceived quality of any large -
scale production car.
