Your favourite cars on TopGear.com in 2010


Wow. Take a step back. No, a little further. That's it. Now marvel at 2010.
This year, in amongst devouring countless quantities of Cajun Squirrel Walkers crisps, TopGear.com has borne witness to some of the hardest and most fizz-worthy dream machines on our saturated little planet. Yes, it's safe to say 2010 has been of fine vintage.
You may already have devoured our 2010 Action Cars Awards line-up, grounded in the real world and awarded to the full spectrum of the year's motoring triumphs.
And from the other end of the scale, here's the line-up of the most popular cars on TopGear.com. Step into our automotive Chamber of Excellence, where only the strong survive and only lottery winners need apply...



Ford Focus RS500
Want the run-out edition of our favourite hatch? Tough. All 500 have been sold. And what a treat you missed. Power rises to a squeaky 350bhp and 340lb ft courtesy of a tweaked ECU and exhaust, coupled with a vinyl matt-black wrap ripped straight off the Batmobile.
And the best part? 350bhp through the front wheels never feels too much. Quite relaxing, too.

The third GTO in Ferrari's 63 years would be enough to red flag most petrolhead geek-o-meters. When you couple that to a 661bhp V12, 0-124mph in under ten seconds and 100kg weight saving over the standard 599, you get meltdown.
We drove it in Tuscany and were bowled over by the fact that it is, today, one of the fastest point-to-point cars in the world.

40kg lighter and 10bhp over a standard Gallardo and you're thinking, �meh', right? Wrong. This lightweight Lambo is the hardest iteration of the best-selling supercar and hits 62mph in 3.5 seconds, offers better downforce and stiffer suspension. Plus, you can spec it in a most righteous green colour. Which is cool.
Although, Audi wants to give this a bloody red nose...

...with this - the R8 GT. It's a massive 100kg lighter than the standard V10, which is roughly equivalent to a small donkey. It gets 42bhp more and a revised Quattro system for added sidewaysness. 0-62mph now takes 3.6 seconds, top speed is 199mph and you get a natty fixed-wing which improves your personal awesomeness by exactly 67 per cent.

A 3.6-litre flat-six with 613bhp, 516lb ft of torque and a 0-62mph time of 3.5 seconds tells one, fact-filled, envy-laden pub story. Step inside, get up to fourth gear and accelerate, and you get another, spine-crushingly fizzy story - as Action Cars's Bill Thomas remarked, "fourth gear in a GT2 RS is a gear that would annihilate just about every car on the road". It also made our online editor sick at Porsche's Silverstone proving ground, which was rather amusing.

Effectively, the SS is like a standard Veyron plus a Golf GTI. Why the world's most hyped hypercar felt the need to swallow a venerable hot hatch resides with the SSC Ultimate Aero - a car which stole the Veyron's coveted and utterly pointless claim of being the world's fastest car. This 1,200bhp SS took it back with force, thanks to a 267mph top speed and a little help from �Mister' Captain Slow...

A 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 mated to a big pussycat of a chassis equals a genuine contender for the Veyron's top speed crown. If the hypercar division was the heavyweights, this shouty, punchy, athletic warrior would be David Haye, ready to dole out its 910bhp haymaker to the Veyron SS...

Another heavyweight aiming for the Veyron SS's head is this, the SSC Ultimate Aero. SSC reckons it'll hit 275mph, which would mean it pees the highest against the wall of pointless top speed records.
A 6.8-litre twin-turbo engine which revs to 9,000rpm and pumps out 1,350bhp, a body designed by go-to-guy Jason Castriota and a 0-62mph time of 2.8 seconds equals nuclear firepower. Just pray it doesn't go pop...

There's no escaping the �120,000 price tag for what is, essentially, a modified BMW 3 Series. But they're all sold, so it's not that much for 126 people, and also, it's actually rather astonishing.
We tested it on some alpine tarmac and, breathtakingly, put it in a sentence containing the words �Ferrari F430 Scuderia' and �Porsche 911 GT3'. It really is that good.

The Zonda R is bonkers. Race-prepared but with no racing to do, it is like a pumped-up cage-fighter roaming the streets. A 6.0-litre AMG V12 pumping out 740bhp helped it to blitz the �Ring in 6m 47s, and its sheer savageness helped it worm its way into Jeremy's heart as �the most perfect speed machine ever made'.

Jaguar, are you listening closely? Good. MAKE THIS NOW. Micro gas turbines (read JET ENGINES) coupled to four electric motors, one at each wheel, equals zero emissions and zero-to-sixty in 3.4 seconds. Plus TFT screens, righteous design language and, sorry, did we mention the friggin' jet engines?

They said it couldn't be done. They said it would never work. Then Lotus revealed six new cars all made from assorted cheeses. Not really. But with six planned models all going upmarket, they might as well have proclaimed "new Lotus Camembert", such was the shock. Let's hope it works...

Good news! It's the new Dacia Duster! That is all.
