What do you think are the best cars? Of course, it is almost impossible to answer this question. But if you break this question into several, then the answers in the global car market are easy to find. For example - “”, “Which is the most expensive”, “Which is the smallest”, “”, etc. Today we decided to answer these simple questions in our rating of “The Most, Most best cars in today's market." Some of the answers are obvious. But the answers to some questions surprised us ourselves. So get ready to experience the versatility and extremes of the auto world. Happy reading and viewing!
Shortest production car: Smart Fortwo, 2.70 meters
It's certainly not the best small car in the history of the automotive industry, but in today's market it is truly the smallest mass-produced vehicle, if we compare all cars in length. So the length of the body is only 2.7 meters. At the beginning of production, which began in 1998, this model was even shorter (2.50 meters).
The longest and most expensive passenger car: Mercedes-Maybach S 600 Pullman, 6.50 meters
Compared to smart cars, infinitely long (6.5 meters long).
The most powerful production car in the world: Bugatti Chiron, 1500 hp
That the successor Bugatti Veyron also currently the most powerful production car on the planet, no one was surprised in principle. Everything was predictable, even at the moment when the information first appeared that Bugatti intended. The power of the novelty is 1500 hp, and the maximum torque is 1600 Nm.
One of the smallest cars in the world: Volkswagen Up 1.0, 60 hp
It's hard to believe, but with an engine size of 1.0, it is currently one of the smallest mass-produced vehicles. The power of this car is only 60 horsepower.
Most expensive production car: Bugatti Chiron, €2,856,000
Logically, the most powerful stock car in the world cannot be cheap. So it's quite predictable that it's also the most expensive, mass-produced car in the world. In order to purchase a supercar, you will need about 3 million euros. Amazingly, despite the cost, 100 people have already booked Bugatti Chiron.
The cheapest reliable car in the world: Lada Granta, 6750 euros
For the money that is needed to buy a Bugatti Chiron, you can also buy 423 copies of a worth 6750 euros in basic configuration. This, for example, is twice as much as these cars were sold in Europe for the whole of 2015.
Production car with the most cylinders: Bugatti Chiron, 16 cylinders
Another new nomination. This time, the sports car got into the list of the most-most, thanks to 16 cylinder engine. This was made possible by the integration of two 8.0 liter engines.
Production car with the smallest number of cylinders: Fiat 500, 2 cylinders
Equipped with a two-cylinder engine with a volume of 875 cubic centimeters. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 11 seconds. The maximum speed is 173 km/h.
Lightest five-seat car with the largest boot: Ford Grand Tourneo Connect, 1529 liters
Of course the models Volkswagen Caddy And latest generation minivan has a more voluminous trunk. But if we are talking about a small five-seater car, then Ford Grand Tourneo Connect has the most big trunk with not decomposed rear seats. The volume is 1529 liters.
Light production car with the smallest trunk in the world: Morgan Three Wheeler, 70 liters
Can you imagine this little car has a trunk. How many? Very little. Only 70 liters of volume. But it is surprising that there is a trunk at all in this one.
Production car with the fastest acceleration from 0-100 km/h - Bugatti Chiron, 2.50 seconds
One, two, and ... And all the supercar for the time that you read the first lines accelerates to 100 km / h. For example, after 13.6 seconds, the car will already be traveling at a speed of 300 km / h.
Production car with the slowest acceleration from 0-100 km/h - Volkswagen Multivan, 22.2 seconds
It produces a diesel modification with a capacity of only 84 hp. As a result, the car accelerates to 100 km / h in 22.2 seconds. So the driver needs patience before the VW T6 picks up the required speed.
Widest production car: Mercedes-Benz G 500 4x4, 2.10 meters
Owners should avoid narrow asphalt roads. Otherwise, there is a risk of going to oncoming lane or curb and constantly break the rules traffic. It is better to drive this car off-road. On the other hand, you will often give way. Most likely, when they see an SUV in front of them, most drivers will prefer to leave the road themselves, giving way to you.
The narrowest production car: Kia Picanto, 1.59 meters
Those who have a small garage or narrow parking spaces near the house, instead of a wide Mercedes SUV, can purchase a car with the narrowest dimensions in the world, among mass-produced vehicles. The width is 1.59 meters. To give you an idea of what this size is, we remind you that the width of the first generation VW Golf was also 1.59 meters.
A serial car that has not changed for a record long time: Lada Niva 4x4, since 1976
But in fact, nothing has changed in the car. This SUV model is the oldest in the global car market. First mass production Niva began in 1976. Since then, the car has not changed and continues to be produced.
Tallest production car: Mercedes-Benz G 500 4x4, 2.21 meters
Sitting in this car, it can make you dizzy, but not from trips through the mountains, but from its overall height and ground clearance. The height of the car is 2.21 meters.
Lowest production passenger car: Morgan Three Wheeler
It is traditionally believed that the narrower the tires on the car, the cheaper it is. But if you need to buy wheels for the Morgan Three Wheeler, then you will pay several times more than for wheels for the Land Cruiser 200. Not a standard is not a standard. It is also the lowest production car in the world.
Heaviest passenger car on the market: Mercedes-Benz G 500 4x4, 3021 kg
Not only the most-most in size, but also the heaviest at the moment in the global car market. Its net weight is 3021 kilograms. So all luxurious and expensive sedans look pale against the background of the Mercedes-Benz G 500.
The smallest curb weight of a passenger car: Caterham Seven 165, 490 kg
Base model equipped with 660-cc. engine weighs almost 500 kilograms, which makes this model the lightest among all passenger cars on the market today and which are mass-produced in the automotive industry.
Large-screen TVs, huge portions in cafes and restaurants, cruise liners, the size of which is quite comparable to a multi-storey building, no less huge aircraft - humanity has long been seriously ill with megalomania. And cars in this case are no exception. Each new generation becomes at least a little, but more than its predecessor. This is exactly what the consumer wants, who, as you know, is always right. But what kind of cars can really be big? Now we'll find out. So, meet the 10 most big cars in the world.
Naturally, the palm in the ranking of the largest cars in the world will belong to dump trucks. You won't see cars like this on the roads. common use, but in mines, where hundreds of thousands of tons of rock have to be transported per day, they cannot be dispensed with. Who from big family dump trucks deserves to be included in the ranking of the 10 largest vehicles in the world.
1st place - BelAZ-75710
We have to admit that against the background of this car, all those masterpieces of engineering, which are discussed below, simply fade. This is about latest dump truck BelAZ-75710, the first copy of which was released in 2013. And if all the heroes of our rating of the 10 largest cars can take away about 360 tons of cargo at a time, then BelAZ-75710 has a carrying capacity of 450 tons.
It turns out that the Belarusian dump truck in terms of carrying capacity exceeds the nearest competitor by as much as 90 tons. This is what makes BelAZ-75710 the king of mining dump trucks. And the most amazing thing is that 450 tons is not the limit for this car. If necessary, the Belarusian giant will be able to take away even more, which he demonstrated on one of test sites and transported a cargo weighing 503.55 tons.
2nd place - Liebherr T 282B
In second place is the Liebherr T 282B, which until recently was considered the largest mining dump truck. At one time, this car is able to carry 363 tons of cargo. The car, which is quite natural, is not cheap. For Liebherr T 282B will have to pay at least three million dollars.
3rd place - BelAZ-75601
The BelAZ-75601 Belarusian mining dump truck costs a little less, but at the same time, its characteristics are in no way inferior to the Swiss dump truck. Judge for yourself - the carrying capacity of a car from Belarus is at least 360 tons, and its engine power exceeds 3.5 thousand horsepower.
It goes without saying that power unit of unimaginable size is very gluttonous. So without a huge fuel tank, the volume of which on BelAZ-75601 is more than four thousand liters, is indispensable.
4th place - "Caterpillar 797B"
Only 15 tons less can take on board the Caterpillar 797B. But the load capacity of 345 tons is enough to safely enroll this dump truck in the top ten largest cars in the world. And for you to imagine actual dimensions of this car, it will suffice to mention that the mass of each tire installed on the Caterpillar 797B is about five tons. Three mid-size sedans weigh about the same.
The price of the Caterpillar 797B starts at 3.5 million euros, and for one five-ton Michelin tire will have to pay about 50 thousand euros.
5th place - Terrex 33-19 Titan
Terrex 33-19 Titan, which was created back in 1973, can carry 320 tons of cargo at a time. And even though it doesn’t seem so big against the background of other giant dump trucks, it deserves to be included in this rating, if only because for a long twenty-five years it was considered the largest car in the world. And it's worth it.
And now the "old man" is doing well. Its output of 3300 horsepower is still considered one of the most powerful. And the maximum speed, which, when fully loaded, is 48 kilometers per hour, is quite at the level of modern analogues. So the Terrex 33-19 Titan will be retired very soon.
Naturally, it is useless for ordinary cars to argue with huge mining trucks for getting into the ranking of the 10 largest cars in the world. But this does not mean that they will be undeservedly forgotten by us. You just need to approach them with different standards and do not forget that any of the giant cars can be found almost in the next parking lot. And if so, then the second part of the rating will remain with them.
6th place - "Superbus"
And we'll start with the Superbus car. The name tells us that this is a bus, but in fact, the fifteen-meter giant resembles a car with its appearance. Although in all other respects it is really a bus. And executive class. With full comfort, 23 people can be accommodated on board the Superbus. At their disposal will be high-speed Internet, TVs and air conditioning, which will create an ideal microclimate in a huge salon.
Impressive and dynamic characteristics Superbus. The maximum speed of this car, which, according to the creators, was supposed to carry millionaires, is 250 kilometers per hour. Another interesting fact is that Superbus has sixteen doors. So millionaires, if they still decide to get together in a close company and go on a trip on the Superbus, will not have to stand in line for boarding.
7th place - Bugatti Type 41 "La Royale"
But in the Bugatti Type 41 "La Royale", which is only 6.7 meters long, there are much fewer doors. And yes, it will be slower. Its maximum speed is only 200 kilometers per hour. But given that this car was produced back in 1927, this figure does not seem small at all.
It turns out that a hundred years ago megalomania was not alien to the powerful of this world. It was for their transportation that the Bugatti Type 41 "La Royale" was created, which is now considered the largest rare car. It is a pity that only six such beauties have survived to this day.
8th place - "Freightliner Sport Chassis"
But the huge Freightliner Sport Chassis, whose length is 6.7 meters, cannot be called handsome with all the desire. Yes, he does not apply for this title. Its task is not to evoke sighs of tenderness from others, but to transport people and goods. With an 8.5-liter diesel engine that develops 350 horsepower, Freightliner Sport Chassis, which weighs 8.8 tons, does it effortlessly.
9th place - "Commercial Extreme Truck"
You can not ignore when ranking the 10 largest cars in the world and the largest pickup truck. On this moment it is the Commercial Extreme Truck, which is 6.55 meters long. The height of the American pickup truck is no less impressive - 2.55 meters. Not in last turn such dimensions were achieved due to the fact that Commercial Extreme Truck borrowed a chassis from a truck snow blower.
Although in all other respects it is an ordinary passenger car that can take on board only four passengers. And the dynamic characteristics are not amazing. With 220 “horses” under the hood, you can’t quickly accelerate.
10th place - "Ford F650"
Although for giant cars, dynamic performance is far from the main thing. This can be verified on Ford example F650, which, although it is the owner of a 6.7-liter engine, whose power is 320 horsepower, but at the same time hardly overcomes the mark of 110 kilometers per hour. But the dimensions are the envy of everyone - 6.5 meters in length. Plus a mass of 5.5 tons. A vivid example of modern gigantomania.
And there is a feeling that the race for size will not end there. A couple of years will pass and the majestic BelAZ-75710 will give way to leadership in the class of mining dump trucks, and the Ford F650, which can be compared with main tractor, will become the second largest passenger car. Who will replace them? We'll see very soon. There can be no doubt that this will happen.
Modern world- This is a time of rapid development of technologies that contribute to the creation of giant machines with enormous power and incredible dimensions. Mankind forces the forces of nature to work for itself: steam, water, electricity, creating complex mechanisms.
The impressive size of each of the presented cars allowed them to enter the top 10 largest cars in the world according to top10rater.
The American Dream limousine is one of the largest passenger cars and the world champion in length (30.48 m). It was specially built in the 1980s. for the filming of the film "Back to the Future", "Starsky and Hutch", etc. To this day, he is in the lead in the "Guinness Records". The car is real, 26 wheels support a large waterbed inside the cabin, a jacuzzi, a mini-pool, there is even a platform for a helicopter. The basis of the car was the "Cadillac Eldorado" of the 1970s, its outlines remained only in small details of the exterior. For a convenient turn in the car there is a "fracture", only in this place you can turn the limousine, as in a road train. The trailer is rear end cars, it can be unhooked; in a shortened version, the car is more mobile. The American Dream limousine has space for 2 drivers, one in the back to follow the turns. The machine does not have a certificate for public roads, so it is transported by trucks, previously divided into 2 parts. Now the limousine is under restoration, after which it will become an exhibit of the museum in New York.
The cargo An-225 or "Mriya" is the largest aircraft in the world, with dimensions of 84 meters in length, 88.4 meters in width and 18.1 meters in height. Only he can lift up to 250 tons on board, and the take-off weight is 640 tons. An-225 can reach speeds of up to 850 km / h with a flight range of 15.4 thousand km. at an altitude of 11 thousand meters. To land, the plane needs a runway of 2400 m. The Mriya chassis is larger than that of all other aircraft in the world. The weight of 640 tons (this is the weight of nine loaded Boeing 737s) is supported by 32 wheels. The aircraft is operated by a crew of 7, which can accommodate another 88 passengers. The aircraft has 6 turbojet engine, each with twice the thrust of a Concorde supersonic aircraft.
The Komatsu D575A bulldozer weighing three tanks (152.6 tons) continues the top ten largest machines in the world. If we compare it with a traditional conventional bulldozer, then it rakes 3 times more than its counterparts with a blade. The Komatsu D575A is 1.5 m long, 7.5 m wide and 4.9 m high. The machine is used in US coal mines and is called the "King" among bulldozers.
On the 7th place in the list of the largest machines in the world is the Liebherr T282B dump truck. The brainchild created by Liebherr is not much inferior to the record holders. This is the leader among machines in terms of carrying capacity. The dump truck is designed for heavy work in careers. It has been specially designed to work in the difficult conditions of South Africa, Canada and Australia, able to go anywhere. The monster is 14.5 m long, 7.4 m high, 9 m wide and weighs 232 tons. The machine can carry 1.5 times more cargo own weight(up to 363 tons). In its body you can put a small house. A powerful unit under the hood hides a 20-cylinder engine with more than 3,500 hp. with., and the fuel tank holds 4,730 liters.
The Caterpillar 797B dump truck continues to rank among the most huge machines in the world. He successfully works in coal mines, in gold and copper quarries. The dimensions of the mining dump truck are impressive: height - 8 m, length - 15 m, and width - 9.5 m. Its weight is 280 tons, and its load capacity is up to 345 tons. This rather fast machine can reach speeds of up to 68 km / h. The huge fuel tank holds 6800 liters.
BelAZ 75710 occupies the middle of the ranking of the largest vehicles in the world. This dump truck was designed to work in coal mines. Start of production - 2013, deliveries were made to the Kemerovo region. The height of such a giant truck is more than a three-story house (8.17 m), the length of the car is 20.6 m, and the width is 9.75 m. The weight of the BelAZ 75710 is 360 tons. railway wagons. Only one dump truck wheel has a weight of 8 tons, and the volume of the fuel tank is more than 4300 liters. The noise of the engine of a giant truck is so loud that you need to wear headphones in it. The price of a miracle dump truck is also considerable - 6 million dollars.
The huge dump truck Terex 33-19 Titan was made in 1974 in one copy well-known company « General Motors» in the Canadian division. It was created for hard work in mines (quarries). The three-axle cargo monster has conscientiously worked for two decades in the quarries of Canada, transporting up to 350 tons of various cargoes at a time, it weighs 235 tons. The dimensions of this machine were the largest on the planet among dump trucks: the length is 20 m, the height is 6.9 m. Maximum speed - up to 48 km / h. Now Terex 33-19 Titan has long been on vacation (since 1992) and is an interesting attraction for thousands of visitors to one of the museums, which is located in British Columbia in Canada.
In third place among the largest machines in the world is Zoomlion ZACB01. This is the largest truck crane not only in terms of size, but also in terms of carrying capacity. New construction equipment was produced in 2012 in China, the release of the machine is specially designed for the 20th anniversary of the Zoomlion manufacturing company. The lifting capacity of the crane is 2000 tons, the telescopic boom is extended from 8 sections. The machine can freely move loads in any direction at a distance of 160 m. The weight of the crane is 96 tons, and the lifting capacity is 20 times greater.
The second line of the rating goes to Bagger 288 - the world's largest excavator, 240 meters long and 96 meters high. Such a monster weighs 13,000 tons, it has no equal in strength and dimensions. Rotary giant excavator produces up to 230 tons of coal per day. In a few days he accomplishes such a volume of work that his brethren would not have coped with in six months. At minimum speed(0.6 km / h), in order to relieve the load on the ground, the Bagger 288 excavator is equipped with 12 tracks, each 3.8 m long. Thus, the designers reduced the pressure of the giant machine to the human foot. Therefore, the giant can safely move even through the fields without harm to the soil. For one shift of a unique machine, 4 people are needed: a shift supervisor, 2 excavators and a belt conveyor coordinator. The control of the miracle machine is done with the help of joysticks. Ideal conditions have been created for comfortable work, inside there is a room with a kitchen and a bathroom.
The Goliath 2570W excavator is the largest machine in the world with the following parameters: height - 65 m (this is an 18-storey building), boom reach - 122 m. The weight of one bucket is 250 tons. Goliath moves up to 48,000 tons of soil in 1 shift. Such a machine is run by 2 people with several mechanics. The giant moves on huge feet to reduce pressure on the ground. One of his steps is 2.5 m, the maximum speed is 320 m / h.
We continue to maintain the rubric of the very best cars, and in this article we will focus on vehicles of non-traditional sizes. It will consider extremes: the most big car in the world and the smallest cars. It should be noted right away that we mean not only the familiar to us production models, but also machines that owe their size to the special functions they perform.
The biggest car
When developing quarries, companies try to minimize the cost of removing rocks. For this, respectively, dump trucks with a large carrying capacity are being developed, which is achieved by increasing the machines to incredible sizes.
Starting from the second half of 2013, the title of the largest car in the world is occupied by BelAZ-75710. This is a huge Belarusian dump truck with dimensions of 20 x 9.7 x 8 m. The machine is capable of carrying a load weighing more than 500 tons, while its own weight is 810 tons. The car is equipped with two engines, the total power of which is approximately equal to 4651 liters. With. It should be noted that since 2014 the machine has been involved in the Chernigovets open pit mine in Russia.
Other large dump trucks:
- Caterpillar 797B (until 2013 it was considered the largest dump truck in the world);
- Liebherr T282B;
- Terex MT 6300 AC;
- BelAZ 75600.
Large passenger cars
The largest mass-produced cars are considered american pickups Ford F-650s converted by Van Hool to special purpose vehicles. These are a kind of ambulances that can accommodate 44 people (including staff). 
As for non-serial cars, the limousine built by Jay Orberg is the leader here. Length vehicle exceeded 30 meters. He had 26 wheels and two driver's cabins (this was due to the difficulties with turning around to drive in the opposite direction). 
As for the smallest cars in the world, then the title of champion belongs to the P50 model of the British company PEEL. Its dimensions are 1340 x 990 x 1200 mm, with a weight of only 59 kg. The smallest car in the world has 3 wheels motorcycle engine with a capacity of only 4.2 liters. With. and accommodates only 1 person of average height. You can buy PEEL P50 for $11,000.
The second place for several years belongs to the SMART production model Mercedes. The length, width and height of the car are 2700, 1560 and 1540 mm, respectively, which is almost twice as high as the previous car we reviewed. But it makes up for it:
- the presence of 4 wheels;
- passenger seat;
- more powerful engine (61 hp for petrol and 41 hp for diesel version).
There are also some modern options ( on-board computer, ABS, airbags, ESP, power windows). 
The average price of a Smart is $15,000, which is $4,000 more than the price of the record holder. It should be noted that this model is last years became very popular in Russia among the fair sex, attracting them with its miniature size and unique exterior.
Honorable third place belongs to Japanese car Suzuki twin. In terms of dimensions, it is approximately identical to Smart (they are only 2735 x 1475 x 1450 mm) and is its direct competitor. This little car boasts gasoline engine with a capacity of 44 liters. s., which develops top speed 120 km/h To become the owner of this tiny Suzuki you will have to pay about $ 12,000, which is one of its main advantages against competitors. 
Also on the list of the smallest cars are:
- Fiat Seicento (Italy);
- Citroen C1 (France);
- Peugeot 107 (France);
- Chevrolet Spark (America);
- Toyota iQ (Japan).
Small cars are gaining more and more popularity in the CIS countries, including Russia. This is due, firstly, to their cost-effectiveness, and secondly, the convenience of moving through traffic jams (which is typical for megacities). So, it is obvious that the market for such cars will develop, and soon we will see new models that will compete with the above.
If we talk about cars made in Russia, then the smallest was and remains the OKA car. Here he has no competitors yet.
