The 5 Deadliest Sports Cars Ever - Sports Cars
With machines like this, there are a million things that can go wrong because they'll bite you at the first distraction.
Five was difficult to find, not because there were not enough deadly machines, but quite the opposite. Fortunately, not a single sports car of the past decade has made the list, which is a very good sign.
Fifth position
In fifth place among the deadliest cars we find the small Italian FIAT Uno Turbo. No, I'm not crazy, Uno is a box on wheels and her rebellious nature makes her exciting and scary, just like some others.
The second series (from 1989) was equipped with a 1372 cc four-cylinder engine.
It was fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission from a Fiat Ritmo 105 TC and reached a top speed of 205 km/h. The front brakes were self-ventilated discs and the rear discs.
Despite its modest power, the Uno, at 845 kg, was easy to marry. Old school turbocharging (nothing happened until 2.500rpm) and meager tires made the Uno Turbo an extremely dangerous and exciting toy car. There was always understeer power, as well as oversteer.
Fourth position
Jaguar E-Type, for Friends The Jaguar E is arguably the most iconic and famous car of the British house. Its very long hood and sexy line make it unmistakable and definitely sexy. But going fast with the E isn't for the faint of heart.
The first series was powered by a 3.800 cc Jaguar engine borrowed from the XK150, fitted with three SU HD8 carburetors and 265 hp, but later the engine became larger and more powerful, up to the V12 model. Jaguar from 5.300 cm³.
The wheelbase-to-track ratio is a sign of precarious balance, and the size of the wheels can barely support the engine's power. Any version.
Let's say, if I were the Devil, I would choose a different car to escape from the police.
Third position
There could not be a Porsche in this ranking, and it could only be the queen of dangerous Porsches: the GT2 993.
The 993 was the first GT2 car signed by Carrera, an acronym that then stood out for the most brutal cars the Stuttgart-based company has developed over time. 3.600 cc turbocharged boxer engine 19993-430 in 450 seconds and 1998 km/h are numbers that still fluctuate.
But what is worth worrying about is the character of the GT2. The 993 was difficult to push to its limits, and its "heavy" weight at the rear did provide good traction, but the moment it turned out it put you in a tough situation to deal with. This is one of the craziest and most extreme cars ever built, and its reputation as a killer is well deserved.
Second position
It's not often a manufacturer's owner persuades him to buy one of his cars, but this is the case of the TVR Cerbera Speed 12.
Its 12-liter V7,8 is the result of a combination of two Speed Six in-line engines from Blackpool. With 880 horsepower combined with a weight of almost 900 kg, a speed of about 386 km / h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.6 seconds, the Speed Twelve needs nothing else to look intimidating.
It was released in very few copies, and in fact it is as if it were a prototype capable of moving on the road. But in fact, it circulates, and that matters.
With a power-to-weight ratio of 1/1, the Speed 12 accelerates terribly and even thinking about pushing it to the limit is a suicide attempt. It could easily be at the top of the list of the most dangerous cars in the world if it weren't for...
First position
Cobra Shelby needs no introduction. The first version produced 350 hp, but its most famous engine is undoubtedly the 427 liter Ford type 7 Side Oiler, originally developed for NASCAR racing, which produced 500 hp, and this is in 1965.
Imagine this power with 1311 kg and no brakes. Not that they didn't suit them, but the braking power of the 500s cars was enough to stop a Fiat XNUMX, let alone such a metal torpedo.
The huge steering wheel, fuzzy steering, stiff pedals, exaggerated power, and a primitive chassis (despite ditching the leaf-spring suspension in the car with the new power in favor of a double-triangle configuration) made the car a lightning-fast, deadly coffin. -existing security systems.
It's scary to drive slowly with the Cobra, let alone fast. She is the queen.
