any car of Mr. Bean is a LEGENDARY CAR

[Speed King]

^^Oh Mr.Bean XD

He also drove in his movies an Aston Martin DB7 and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. The actor which is Rowan Atkinson is a car enthusiast aswell, he owned a Mclaren F1 but he crashed it.

He owns an Honda NSX, Audi A8 and a Honda Civic Hybrid. He doesn't want to own a Porsche car because he said he has problems with them.

[damastah]

is it true that the new Nissan GT-R 2012 edition is one of the fastest cars in the world?

[Speed King]

^^It has an excellent acceleration and cornering. But I don't believe it is the fastest in the world.

[Redgx20]

The Fastest Car is the SSC Ultimate Aero.

[ThrasherDBS]

Nope. That car might have beaten the Bugatti Veyron's old record, but Bugatti redid the Veyron with a "Super Sport"-type package. So the Veyron is back on top as the world's fastest production car. However, ShelbySupercars is making a new car, the "Tuatara" which I suppose is going to take back the title for itself again.

These are both the ultimate cars in the world:

You are beauty my beloved Ford GT

[Speed King]

^^This is far better than the GT4 Ford GT:

[Redgx20]

The Ford Gt....An American Car for the Le-Mans....

[ThrasherDBS]

Yup, the Ford GT is an awesome car.
I'm sure you guys probably know this, but the one of the headlights has the lights arranged to say "100", signifying Ford's 100th anniversary. It's the right headlight if you're looking straight at the car, or the left headlight from the driver's perspective. I thought that was awesome when I first noticed that.

[Speed King]

^^I can see it 8D

Also what is your favorite Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Model?

Mine are:

Evo II

Evo III

Evo IV

Evo VI

Evo IX

Evo X

There's a rumor that an Evo XI is on the makes.

[ThrasherDBS]

My favorites:
Evo I - III
Evo V
Evo VI
and the Evo X.

It's about time they retire the Evo X. It's about 5 years old, which is the longest an Evolution generation has been in production for if I'm not mistaken. Between generations II through VII, there was a new generation every year if I remember right.

EDIT: It looks like they're saying that the Evo X is going to be the last Evo model. This is disappointing...

YET ANOTHER EDIT: And evidently in 2014, the Impreza and WRX nameplates are going to split as Subaru cars in a similar fashion that the Skyline and GT-R nameplates split for Nissan. The WRX is going to be its own car, but from the sounds of things, it's not going to have the same amount of tenacity as it did when it was an Impreza trim...

A very good rally car,becomes 2 very good rally cars.

Well I read the Evo is still on the go...

Jeez why Japan is getting rid of the awesome cars? First the MR2, the Celica, The Supra (will come back if the sales of the gt-86 goes well), The Skyline and now the Impreza?

[Redgx20]

I havent seen a Toyota Celica in Years....

Well, actually on the Skyline bit, I'm fairly sure they have the Skyline still. Just not the Skyline GT-R that we see all the time in movies and games. There's always been a regular sedan version of it, which is sold in other parts of the world as an Infiniti. For example the G35 (or was it G37?) is manufactured as a Nissan Skyline in Japan.

According to Wikipedia, the Skyline is still in production, except now it's a crossover SUV.
