>>16607944
But Canada also built the New "GT".
i think the england has made better cars than that anon
>>16607959
Built yeah, but wasn't conceived in Canada
>>16607966
OP only said "built" so it still counts i guess.
>>16607940
built by a literal thief that /o/ wants assassinated.
>>16607971
True.
Guess either SRT Hellcat or Crown vic in that case
>>16607972
Some guy maybe, but not all of us.
Aint got no beef wit dis m8
>>16607972
True dat. He has one of the worst attitudes I have ever seen and yanking parts from customer cars to sell/put on your own rides? Basic jobs that take 6+ months?
>Fucker
Probably this mad machine.
>>16607940
Truly the first ever Supercar.
It could do 260 km/h (160 mph) in 1954. That was insane.
HSV GTS-R W1
LS9 Super Sedan
>>16607940
So OP is from Britain?
>mfw Bugatti is a subsidiary of Volkswagen
>mfw the President of Bugatti Automobiles is German
>mfw the Bugatti Engineering GmbH is a German company
>mfw Molsheim was German until 1918.
>mfw the Bugatti Chiron is considered French
The only one it ever did build is this one.
I would nominate pic related, the latest ACR and the C4 ZR1 for America.
Honorable mentions to the Oldsmobile Aerotech Buick 3.5 V8, Ford Windsor, Chevy LS1, probably some other things i (should) be giving a mention to but i don't know much about american engines or cars in the 50s 60s i'm sure some anon with oldfag knowledge can oblige.
>>16607975
Good choices. especially love Crown Vics.
>>16607966
>Implying the gt is a good car
>>16607998
Look into John Hennessey's history of fucking up customers, parting out customer cars, steeling parts from customer cars to finish personal projects, etc and you'll wish he was dead too. If you go on some of the Viper forums, "Hennessey" is blanked out as a "*********" as if it was a swear. He's fucked over entire communities of people. The only reason he isn't in jail is because he drags all the lawsuits against him so they take forever. The customer will usually give up and cut their losses before it gets to trial.
How much you wanna bet the LS9 in that Venom came from a customer's Corvette?
>>16607940
Wrong
Greatest Murica Machine is Snek
>>16608103
FUCK YEAH MT900
Are you the guy that post Consulier pics here?
>>16607940
>sister fucking redneck purchased a british car
>stole money from the other cousin fucking rednecks who were dumb enough to give him money
>used that money to modify said british car
>proceeded to build 1 (one) car that wasn't trash
>screwed over countless people
>ruined countless cars
>somehow burgerfats think he has talent
the only explanation for this is autism
>>16608186
>Greatest Murica Machine is Snek
*so long as John Hennessey never touches them.
I don't like the looks but they're amazing on track.
>>16608205
Redpill me on Hennessey
>>16608220
google "Hennescrewed"
the entire company has a bad reputation and has for a long time
>>16608216
This is that Mexican supercar that Top Gear talked shit about a while back, right? Pretty cool stuff.
>>16607940
Why is that stretched out lotus holding an amerifat flag?
>>16608200
Don't think so. am a big fan of Mosler and his work though. If he had the budget of a major manufacturer or even those european exotic manufacturers like Ferrari he'd be making some otherworldly stuff.
>>16608220
Guy who started tuning cars back in the 90s. he was similar to guys like John Lingenfelter and Reeves Callaway who would make very powerful Corvettes or other cars.

There were people who ordered projects from Hennessy and either never got them or their cars had parts jacked off of them to complete other projects. There were some forums he posted in where he was acting douchy too.
>>16608244
Yeah, it's not the best car ever but I just find it kinda cool that some guys actually made a mexican sports car.
It is pretty much a Fiat.
>>16608244
I havent watched the episode but I looked the car up
>930kg
>250 hp
>manual
>MR
seems great to me as in it would be what Id want in a sports car
then again Mexican build quality I guess
>>16608248
>malaise era shitbox
come on son
this is our best
>>16608267
>mexican build quality
This car was made in a small factory with 40 workers, and it was a premium car. It wasn't made in the ford fiesta factory.
>>16607940
Didn't know Americans made Lotus cars

The corvette was faster in a straight.
>>16608306
not in 1954.
1953-1954 Corvettes were powered by the Blue Flame I6.
They didn't get a V8 until 1955.

The Hennessey Venom GT is a high performance sports car manufactured by Texas-based Hennessey Performance Engineering. The Venom is a heavily modified version of the British sports car, the Lotus Exige.

I hope it btfos the quadrifiligo verde from the nordshleife
>>16608594
Really don't see that happening on the Zeta platform. the fastest Zeta platform car around the ring was the Z28 Camaro and even that wasn't close.
>Pakis never built a car
JUST
>>16607940
I'm not surpirsed the Hennessey Vemon GT is one of America's greatest cars, considering America doesn't actually make most of it...
>>16607940
America's best car is literally a lotus with an engine swap.
Eternally and irrevocably BTFO.
I choose this.
Electric car way before Tesla was a thing
The only other choice is the Zenvo ST1, and we all know how shit that is
>>16607940
That's not the best car to have been built in England. It isn't even top ten.
>>16607940
>built
more like bought
oh yes OP we did built a great car
>>16608254
Neat. I was fortunate to work for him for a short while in a non-car related capacity, and am still in regular contact with him. Absolutely brilliant guy.
Also had some neat interactions with John Fitch and some of the other circle that had input on his early cars. There were indeed some unique things that would had innovated around what other racing-bred exotics would had developed. At the end of the day, only performance mattered.
>>16608575
It used to be British, now it's American.
Sounds just like the US to me.
>>16607940
The Ford Falcon.
This is the trekka. It was built In new Zealand using a Skoda Octavia drivetrain from (then communist) Czechoslovakia from 1968-1973. It remains the only mass produced vehicle to be designed and built in new Zealand.

>What's the greatest car your country ever built?
I don't know, in my country a lot of great iconic cars were designed and built; I guess this is in the top 10.
>>16608575
Malaysian sports car
>>16610175
kek
>Canada
Some douchebags from Quebec spit out a knockoff Lambo every other year, and only make between 6 and 12 of the fuckers.
It's actually strange that car manufacturing never became a thing up here.
>>16612516
This thing, right?
>>16607940
Nah
>>16612524
The very same.
It's not that manufacturing facilities don't exist, I'm pretty sure most North American Mazdas are built in Canada, it's just strange that nobody has had the balls to try and build and sell a car in Canada which Canadians can actually afford.
>>16612546
Don't cars in Canada have to be certified for ice roads and moose collisions tho?
>>16612561
You're thinking of Sweden. I know they do, or at least, Saab used to do it for their cars

After a quick search it seems the only modern car that is built in Austria is this KTM track thingy. Atleast we also make some great Bikes.
