British Cars

Who hasn’t dreamed of owning a supercar at least once in their lives? For every gearhead in the world, a supercar is the ultimate dream. Brilliantly-crafted machines, housing phenomenal power paired with the utmost luxury, supercars truly make the world go round. However, there’s another side to owning a supercar that mostly goes unnoticed. Sure, you’d love to bring home a brand-new, sparkly supercar, but there’s also a certain peace of mind you’d need, knowing you could re-sell it if need be without losing too much of your money.

In fact, many supercars have built a reputation of having great resale value, like the Lexus LFA or the Ferrari LaFerrari. These cars were made in small numbers, and were nearly perfect. Thus, not only have they gone up in value today, but their rarity continues to hike up their asking price even today. On the flip side, there are some supercars that can simply be deemed bad investments, as they have some of the poorest resale values in the used car market. These cars are either ridden with problems, suffer from bad reputation, or were far too common to command any value. Here are 9 supercars that have terrible resale value.

The 1998 French movie Taxi was a big success which led to Taxi 2, 3, 4, and Taxi 5 movies subsequently being released. The movie showcased a Peugeot 406. The French based movie was directed by Gerard Pires and was written by Luc Besson.

While the movie was produced on a shoestring budget, it ended up being a massive success at the box office, grossing nearly $45 million.

The original ’98 taxi movie featured some great car chases, but the trip to the airport was undoubtedly one of the best throughout the whole series, with little regard for pedestrians and a culmination of many driving infractions along the way that no ordinary taxi driver would get away it.

While the taxi movie released in ’98 initially lived in the shadow of the original Taxi movie which famously starred Rober DeNiro, the French version quickly gained a cult following as is evidenced by a string of successful sequels.

This Peugeot Taxi Could Match Any Muscle Car

The Peugeot 406 was an ordinary French family car that took birth in the 90s. The most powerful version ever from the factory was a 2.9-liter V6 that made just over 200hp. For the movie, the 406 was modified with a large spoiler, a must for any car in the 90s that wanted to be considered fast and powerful. Even the front bumper was replaced with a more aerodynamic front splitter. In fact, the taxi was traveling at such…

I’ve never hung on to the steering wheel of a car so much as I am now lapping Barcelona’s Formula 1 track.

As the left-hand wheels touch the kerb on the flat-out run up to Turn 9, both the deep rumbling noise and the vibrations that rattle the cockpit smash your senses.

But there is little time to think about that, or even enjoy just how frickin’ cool it feels (and sounds).

Eyes are already on the turn-in point for the right-hander and trying to perfectly hit the apex that is somewhere up near the crest of the hill.

Despite all that has been said over the years about the speed and brutality of driving an F1 car, nothing can quite explain in words how time blurs when you are on the edge.

The milliseconds your brain uses to judge how close to the apex you got when you turned in have already taken too long. Where you thought you were, is no longer where you are.

Turn 9 has already long gone. You’ve been spat out the other end of the corner and you are now darting over the exit kerb – again that buzzing sound and vibration rattling through you.

Still gripping the steering wheel tightly, you pick everything up again, ease off the kerb and start thinking about the next corner. Then rinse and repeat on and on.

The sensations, feeling, intensity and emotions of it all are very real, even if what I’m driving is not an actual Formula 1 car.

In fact, I’m nowhere near Barcelona. I’m in an industrial unit on the outskirts of Bristol, driving what is touted as the most…

It’s no secret that the 1970s brought us a seemingly endless stream of bad cars. Generally, their styling wasn’t nearly as crisp and proportioned as those from the 1960s. Horsepower had suffered as well, as ensuing factors from the OPEC oil crisis, as well as environmental and insurance concerns, would see a drastic cut in output levels on a strong portion of the world’s passenger cars.

Still, not all cars fell victim to the malaise of the 1970s. High-powered engines weren’t entirely extinct, and as far as bodywork design goes, this decade produced a distinct sense of styling that’s seldom seen elsewhere in history. From the intimidating snarls of American muscle cars to the angular, wedge-themed exotics of Italy, the 1970s still gave us a plethora of classic cars that inherited their own sense of aggressiveness. Here are our top 10 picks for the most macho cars of the 1970s.

10 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442

The Oldsmobile Cutlass was one of the best-selling cars of the 1970s, although the 442 package is far more potent. The 1970 variant was one of the prime examples that got powered by a massive, 455-cid V8 that churned out 375 horsepower and an astounding 500 lb-ft of torque – almost enough to alter the axis of the Earth’s rotation.

Billed along with the Chevrolet Chevelle and Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Oldsmobile…

For most of us, driving any car that’s even close to 7 figures let alone owning one is something completely unattainable. For YouTuber Steve Hamilton, though, it’s just another day in the office. The Chicago-based automotive business mogul worked his way up to amass a fortune of around $100 million and has steadily built up a supercar collection worth over $30 million and change.

In his latest video, Steve says goodbye to one of his two Pagani Huayras and reveals that he bought two new hypercars. One car that’s still a mystery, and another McLaren Senna is to replace the car he crashed late last year.

Another McLaren Senna And A Secret New Car

Steve starts the video at auto garage ‘Chicago Auto Pros’, revealing the new Senna and taking us for a look around at the specs and small custom details that his team has added. The car was recently purchased from Chicago Motor Cars with 500 miles on the clock and has a one-of-one factory McLaren MSO Diamond Black paint job costing an astronomical $77,000.

Steve then shows off the car’s red-on-black accents – with the wheel center locks, brake calipers, hydraulic door struts, and Senna signature on the door sills all finished in red from the factory.

Steve and his team subsequently added some custom decals, with a Senna logo on the rear wing, the McLaren racing Kiwi on the wing end plates, and the front bumper…

The automotive world is marveled by what Mercedes-Benz has pulled out of its magic hat with the insanely sophisticated AMG One hypercar. But this racecar for the road also strongly reminded us of a ferocious 90s supercar. The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMG was the German automaker’s first try at building a “hypercar” way before the term even existed. It was born from the urge to topple the McLaren F1 GTR. Today, the same hunger for dominance comes in the form of the AMG One.

But we decided to push it further. And our in-house render guru – Rostislav Provkop, has created a wilder AMG One Black Series in the image of the ferocious CLK GTR Straßenversion. We took the GT1 Class crushing CLK GTR’s visual appeal and fused it to the AMG One’s F1 engine. The result is the most wicked racecar for the road that has the brawn to hypothetically make the likes of the Aston Martin AMR Pro and the Gordon Murray T.50S sweat!

Gordon Murray’s creation for McLaren was unrivaled among GT1 Class racecars, and everyone from Ferrari to Porsche was struggling to catch up. But that’s when Mercedes, after playing a little dirty, brought the CLK GTR into the racing scene. It was a monster on the track and soon made the F1 GTR fall on its knees. And this fabled Mercedes racecar’s destructively dominating history is what inspired…
