What's in our Car Town garage today? (September 29, 2013)

What's in our Car Town garage today?

2006 Dodge Viper SRT10

Known to be one of America's finest sportscars, the Dodge Viper is truly a hardcore driver's car and since it doesn't rely on electronics so much, this supercar loves to do some bad tricks the old-school way. For this model, it still retains the same bad boy image even though there is a slight fact that it follows the same design as the GTS-R Concept. Using one of the biggest engines offered in the market today, the Viper SRT-10 delivers a mindblowing 510bhp of power, 725Nm of torque, 0-60 time of under four seconds, and an alleged top speed of 193mph. This slithering behemoth is truly an enthusiast's car of its own right.

1967 Ford Anglia

Mind your broomsticks, Harry Potter fans, because this is the kind of car you are truly familiar with. It's that flying car as seen in Chamber of Secrets. The Weasley boys took their dad's Ford Anglia to fetch Harry Potter when he realized he missed the Hogwarts Station and then later crashed in an effort to get through Hogwarts. Yes, in the world of Harry Potter, this Anglia can fly literally but in reality, this 1967 Anglia isn't. Even though this Anglia doesn't act the same as the one from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it's still one of the most admired classics of all time. Little known fact that with the Performance Kit, it garnered six International Class G World Records averaging a top speed of 83.47mph. It's also durable as well because its durability doesn't need repairs after 20,000 km, other than tire changes.

1972 Lancia Fulvia Rally

In the past, Lancia is well known to be one of the most successful WRC manufacturers in history, scoring 10 wins in its career. Its first WRC win for the Italian carmaker can be traced to this car, the Fulvia. Piloted by Sandro Munari, this Fulvia became the first ever Lancia to snag a WRC win in 1972. In the "Collection of Lancia" episode of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson describes the Fulvia is like "driving a rorty sorbet" even though it costs more than a Jaguar E-Type.
