Power and torque is not everything…
The voorwielaandrijver. Who is not big? Big chance that you are there in time have had and that your first car also had. The Citroen Traction Avant and Austin Mini are of course the pioneers, but also the Americans were quick to their the 8.2 litre V8’s the front wheels to float (Cadillac Eldorado, Oldsmobile Toronado). In the 90’s were voorwielaandrijvers faster and faster. The question arose, of course: where is the limit with the drive on the front wheels? 180hp? 200?
It turned out considerably more, ultimately. In combination with clever suspension (RevoKnuckle), transmissions (DCT bins), improved bandentechniek and smart differentials is even 300pk to do. However, a voorwielaandrijver quickly are in the right place is still pretty tricky, because you have to balance on the momentum of grip and slip. You have this once mastered, these are the 25 fastest cars with front-wheel drive:
6,5 s: Coupe Fiat 20v Turbo Plus
Actually this was totally not the intention. In the 90’s there was a true Coupe revival, so Fiat decided to join in. The name ‘GTV’ was dusted off for Alfa Romeo. An insanely futuristic-looking device on the basis of the 145. Fiat decided even a Coupe to launch, on the basis of the Bravo (so 145). It was the Coupé Fiat, if possible, even more beautiful than the GTV, designed by none other than Chris Bangle. The 2.0 five cylinder was very potent. A top of 250 was possible, as well as this quick 0-100 time. Classic in the making. Buy now!
6,4 Volkswagen Polo R WRC (2013)
When the Polo GTI came on the market, the criticism is not of the air. He looked good, a mini-Golf GTI. But the drivetrain was impressive on paper, but the effect was less. The 1.4 with supercharger and turbo, paired to a 7-speed DSG had to be fast and economical, but was actually neither. With the R WRC was put right. The 1.4 was replaced for the selling ea888 2.0-litre Turbo with 230pk (heavy teruggetuned, with a chip, exhaust and intake do you have so 350 hp). Also the appearance was a lot better, as well as the sprinttijd.
6,4: Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS (2007)
Those crazy Yanks always. Instead of a very turbo with manual gearbox was in the US for old-school. A 5.3 liter Vortec V8, coupled to a 4-speed automatic was particularly effective for the sprint. By far the most spacious car in this list and somewhere also a Guilty Pleasure. Not to be confused with the Lancia with the same name.
6,3 s: Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works (2015)
How Mini is the Mini? With the current is a bit tricky. Was the first Mini is still nice and compact and kneiterhard, the current is a lot bigger and more comfortable. The 2.0 liter engine from the BMW 328i provides plenty of power and the machine works actually. Not very Mini might, very fast.
6,3 s: Alfa Romeo 156 GTA (2002)
The ultimate sport sedan with Busso V6. Not as fast as that sounds, or looks, but that doesn’t matter. As a Ferrari a compact sedan with front-wheel drive had to make, was this. Not perfect, but with loads of character. The GTV and 147 with this motor will be just as fast to 100, but the 156 GTA can the ESP. We should, of course, somewhere to draw a line.
6,3 s: MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works GP (2008)
Perhaps the last real MINI. In the fore cabin, a hyperactive 1.6-litre turbo, coupled to an old-fashioned manual gearbox. The appearance was just like the first GP, not very heroic. In fact, just a MINI CSL, but less expensive.
6,3 s: Volvo V40 T5 R-Design Geartronic (2016)
Probably know the Volvo, we do not agree that this is also in the price is because they sell the most of D2’s and T3’s. Leaselievelingen. The V40 in terms of performance with the best GTI’s of the time measure, but no one knows it. You can also opt for a bolder and simple-looking Kinetic. You are guaranteed to have the biggest fun with it at the traffic lights.
6,3 s: Opel Vectra OPC (2009)
The Vectra GTS was actually the best of a nice car, but a quick version remained a long time. That changed in 2006, when Opel decided that the Vectra is also the OPC treatment received. The 2.8 V6 Turbo engine was initially 255pk, but this was later increased to 280. Thus, you could be a top pick of 260 km/h, which allows the Vectra OPC is one of the fastest sedans was that you could buy. Also at the traffic lights, you could make you male.
6,3 s: Audi A4 2.0 TFSI S-Tronic (2016)
Perhaps very trite: this car shows that there is indeed Lead By Technique. It is a terrible slogan, but the fact it that a regular Audi A4 with 2 liter engine and automatic transmission in this list. The TFSI is good for a high olieverbruikvermogen and the DSG bak turns quickly. Not an exciting car, but very smooth. And not even the most expensive in this list.
6,1 s: Mazda 3 MPS (2006)
The choice for the connoisseur. For the Badge Snobs are not interesting, because a Mazda. The autojournalisten found the car to be boring. But the true connoisseur knows the Mazdaspeed 3 on value to estimate. You have the chassis of a Focus, so good. The engine is a very potent MZR23 with 260pk, which via a 6-speed and quench on the road. In addition, the 3 MPS is very, very reliable. Oh, and very smooth!
6,0 s: Opel Astra OPC (2014)
You can say ” what you want, but what they have is a beautiful device down, with the Astra OPC. The engine delivers 280pk and 400nm: very much for a C-segment hathcback. In terms of appearance, it is perhaps the most successful GTI: gift wheels, big bodykit and enough spoilers. At the same time. Also in the interior a very successful car. The performance are more than enough: the sprint was a good and also on the Autobahn, you can sit and BMW’s bullying.
6,0 s: Renault Mégane Renault Sport 230 R26-R (2008)
An icon in the making. The appearance of the regular Mégane was already special, with thanks to Patrick LeQuement. The regular Renault Sport Mégane models were more than worth the effort, the R26, Trophy and F1 Team are leaders. The top model was the Radical, instead of a huge lot of power to give, went to Renault Sport the other side. The interior was stripped of air-conditioning, radio, back seat and other luxury. A roll cage, plastic rear windows and carbon fiber hood were added, as well as semi slick tyres. Fun fact: every Radical buyer got a year pass for the Nordschleife. Nice.
5,9 s: Abarth 695 Biposto (2014)
Admittedly, most 500’s are pretty feminine. Even though it is a matte grey Abarth with black wheels: it remains a bit of a vrouwenauto. The Biposto is a lot more serious. This is a circuitracer with number plates. At Ferrari they call it ‘Special’ and they ask triple sure.
5,9: Volkswagen Golf GTI Club Sport DSG
On paper, this über-Golf 265pk, but temporarily can this 290 horses deliver. You have to know what to do, but it is definitely possible. The fuel cut is long enough to be available to the 0-100 sprint. But still, if Seat the full 290pk in their Cupra, then why not in the VW?
5,9 s: Peugeot RCZ-R (2014)
Actually scandalous: there is a manufacturer brave enough to topauto, no-one will buy him. The RCZ-R is a true feat. There is nothing that the RCZ-R is doing wrong. The appearance is spectacular: low, stocky, and a double-bubble roof. The interior of the building are there: a job well built and beautifully finished. The seating position is excellent. To drive a true party and also the performance are excellent.
5,9 s: Audi TT Coupe 2.0 TFSI S-Tronic (2014)
Again an Audi that happen to be in this list. The 3rd generation TT is a lot more masculine than before, both in appearance and performance. The 2.0 engine delivers a modest 230pk, but knows in combination with the DSG bake a fine sprinttijd to write it down. Makes a TT-S actually superfluous.
5.8 s: Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 3.8 V6
Who was it that said that Japanese cars are boring? The Eclipse of the 3rd generation was in terms of design is very original, there is no single car that looked. In 2005, it was primarily a separate compartment with thick motor, but in the course of the years, the chassis is always improved, as well as the powertrain. Not only the looks are excellent, the performances were impressive. Nothing downsizing, just a nice 3.8 V6 with almost 270pk.
5.8 s: Renault Mégane Renault Sport 275 Trophy-R (2014)
Onbetwitste hero on the Nordschleife, you stumble around. The experienced drivers know about the Porsches quite hard to make. In terms of recipe similar to the Radical, only slightly less radical. Faster, by the way. One of the few cars that are only for the real petrolhead built seemed to be. Classic in the making, for the successor word is a five-door 1.6 with automatic transmission…
5.8 s: Chevrolet Cobalt SS/TC (2010)
Sprintwondertje from the USA. The Cobalt was a compact coupe based on the Astra platform. The appearance was a nice boy-racer: big rims, big body kit and huge spoilers. Exactly as you want it to. The first series had a tweeliter with a supercharger, but in 2010, the Cobalt SS is a 2.0 Ecotec turbo. Watch out if you happen to come across one in America, because most are tickled…
5,7 s: Seat Leon Cupra 310 (2008)
One-trick Pony. Rarely a boring car. The sound is mediocre, the interior is disappointing, and in terms of road performance is barely adequate. But the ABBOT has taken care of engine is the only important thing. But preferably 310pk word loosely left on the front axle, without quenching. The 310 excels in only one thing: acceleration. Coincidentally, just where the to go in this list.
5,7 s: Honda Civic Type-R (2015)
Where the previous Civic Type-R a bit of a disappointment was this much good. Honda has always used on a lot of top end power from a naturally-aspirated engine in combination with a low weight. Safety requirements and requirements of the consumer, meant that the Civic is heavier, so went to Honda fi-na-lly persuaded by a VTEC Turbo block to develop for the current Civic. Not without result, because the current Civic Type-R is in a straight line and on the ‘Ring as fast as the heroic NSX Type-R. Good enough for Fernando Alonso.
5,7 s: Seat Leon SC Cupra 290 DSG (2016)
Another gevalletje: “is it so fast? Oops!” The Leon Cupra is a strange phenomenon. The Golf GTI should be faster, because more expensive. But this is not the case. Where the special Golf GTI Club Sport for quite a while 290 horses on the front axle which can throw, the Leon constantly at his disposal. The Leon Cupra 290 is not only fast in a straight line, but also on the ‘Ring is a formidable opponent. Ace.
5,5: Volkswagen Scirocco R DSG (2014)
“Volkswagens are always so boring…” Said many. Partly correct, but history teaches us that the buying public, particularly in the Netherlands, the really nice VW’s perfect left. And that is a shame, because the Scirocco is one of the finest steering Volkswagen products over the last 15 years. In the Netherlands, is the Scirocco in 2013 from the range, but in the rest of the world, they could the revamped R welcome. Now with 280pk on the front wheels and in combination with the quick DSG box in to their performance.
5,4: Ford Focus RS500 (2010)
Much worse become a Hot Hatch. Much cooler too, actually. The ordinary Focus RS was already brilliant, but the RS500 they did there is still a large spoonful on top. Standard was the Mountune Stage I kit installed, making the Volvo 5-pitter 350 hp produced, 45 more than standard. The matte paint was actually a wrap of 3M, below that was the RS500 metallic black. 500 stands for the number of copies produced.
5,3: Dodge Neon SRT-4 (2004)
Just as with the list of ‘fastest pick-ups a little surprise. And this time, also, comes the surprise from the land of Uncle Sam. It is the combination of sophisticated versnellingsbakverhouding, grip and lots of power from the 2.4 liter turbo. It would seem, is the task of 235 is very conservative, 260-270 seems more realistic. It is a raw, but extremely strong block: 400pk is no problem emt some adjustments. On trackdays and dragstrips is the SRT-4 a true pest. Everyone underestimated the base is not brilliant sedan, but the guys on the Viper tinkered have nice work delivered. The interior is quite basic, the look is less successful than the Blobeye Impreza, but if the acceleration comes, it is the king. And that was in this list.
