The Smallest Production Car


In a Top Gear show, Jeremy Clarkson driven the smallest production car in the world, the Peel P50 from 1962.
The Peel P50 was a three-wheeled microcar manufactured in 1963 and 1964 by the Manx Peel Engineering Company, retailing for £199 when new. It was designed as a town car and was advertised as capable of seating “one adult and a shopping bag”.
The P50 used a 49 cc DKW engine which gave it a top speed of approximately 61 km/h (38 mph), and was equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission that had no reverse gear, although was capable of an impressive 100 mpg (imp) (2.8 L/100 km/83 mpg US).
I just love this small car! It seems that it is perfect to drive it at work, in a big city!
Don’t you like it?

BMW 330i without pilot

In a recent Top Gear episode, Jeremy Clarkson presented the car that drives itself: BMW 330i.
We all know that many have tried, until now to make a car that can run by itself, without any driver intervention, but for many times they’ve failed.
Anyway, BMW shows that it has reached a higher technology level, that permit to the car to “run” alone, without being driven by someone.
The Germans gave the car for test to Top Gear and they have tested it on a race track.
And, it’s not only that it run on a normal road, it really can be used in circuit, it is able to make powerful acceleration and fast brakes.
The sensation must be amazing, because I think is quite hard to know that you don’t have to drive it… and to see it at big speed, by itself. Really amazing car, don’t you think?

Top Gear- VW Golf GTi Mark 5

Jeremy Clarkson started this review, by thinking that the original Volkswagen GTi is the greatest car of the 20’s century. And then, he sat back and watches the evolution of the GTi. Every year, the GTi gone fatter and heavier until it arrive the Mark 4.
In a simple race between it and the Skoda Octavia Diesel and the Rover 25 automatic we can observe that the GTi was finished last.
Jeremy Clarkson believed that GTi will going to be first, but he admit that it is not the first time when he is wrong.
After that, he is presenting the latest version, the Mark 5 and he is delighted to report that the fun is back! This car makes him feel young again! It has 197 hp, which means that you can go from 0 to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. And that is not all! The Mark 5 is even more impressive, so you better watch the video to find out more!
