1933 Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow

Additional Information: futuristic design study with integrated fenders that hide compartments for spare tires, this was a decade ahead of it's time. It was so well received that it actually entered production, altough only 5 were built because, well, it cost 10k in 1933. Three still exist to this day. One of the starters of the art decó movement that would gain steam all over the world during the rest of the decade.

2015 Dodge/SRT Charger Hellcat
image.jpg


Body Style:
4 door sedan.
Engine: 6.2L Supercharged Hemi V8.
Power output: 707 Horsepower.
Torque: 650 ft-lbs.
Weight: 2,068 Kilograms.
Transmission: 8 speed automatic, 6 speed manual.
Drivetrain: Front engine, rear wheel drive.

Additional information: As of typing this, it is the fastest production sedan in the world, with a 1/4 time of 11 seconds, and a top speed of 204 mph. It's also the most powerful, rated at 707 horsepower. With a base MSRP of $63,995, it's also a steal.

There are three modes for the car: Street, Sport, and Track. Street shifts smoothly and early for a more comfortable ride, better mpgs, and a quieter trip. Sport mode is faster than street mode, shifting closer to redline and featuring rev-matching downshifts. The suspension is stiffer in sport mode as well. Track mode features everything sport mode has, as well as gear shifts as quick as 160 milliseconds. It also features the increased traction control of street mode, allowing you to get on the gas quicker in the corners.​

Well this was done:

So I don't see any point in doing the 350, but it's still a valid nomination.

Body Style: 2 Door Coupe, Sportsroof
Engine: 302ci 5.0L V8
Power Output: Rated 290 @ 5,800rpm, Optional output: 310-350 @ 6,500rpm

0-60: 6.9 seconds
1/4 Mile: 14.6 seconds
Transmission: 4 Speed Manual (No Automatics Offered)
Drivetrain: FR, RWD
Additional Information: The engine was a hybrid of the Windsor and Cleveland small block V8s Ford as producing. The heads and top half of the engine were from the Cleveland engine and were race bread parts meant for high RPM performance, which in return lacked power for typical street driveability making it a dog from 0-60. The bottom half was Windsor bread, which had a bulletproof set of parts regarding strength. This car was meant to rev high. The factory limiter was set to 5,800rpm which blocked off extra useable horsepower; so a option was offered to buy a factory 6,800rpm limiter which let the engine rev out and build more horsepower. The car was also an excellent handler out of the box, one of the best stock Mustangs you could buy for that back in the day. The Trans Am race version produced 470 horsepower at 8,000rpm.

Hmmm, I went through the Cool Wall results and realized that there was only one Ford Focus put up on the Cool wall.

With that said, I want to nominate the Ford Focus SVT! Question though, what information do I exactly put with my nomination?

EDIT: Nevermind, I rechecked the OP and figured out what I needed to enter. I'll nominate this later when I come back from school.

@RandomCarGuy17 Years of production?
You may want to refresh.

Note: It's kinda one of my favorite hot hatchbacks ever. I just couldn't help, but love this car since I was a kid. I also thought of nominating the Focus Wagon I drive, but then I thought nah; I should just nominate the best US-Spec Mk.1 Focus.

I also have a funny idea on what will happen if it gets pinned on the cool wall.

~ An Automotive Art Form.

The most advanced technology, design and standards of construction, culminating in one of the greatest supercars of all time.



2009-2012 Aston Martin One-77


White-One-77-photo-by-Alex-Penfold.jpg

“To create a car closer to art than the automobile. That was the aim”
Marek Reichman, Director of Design

The One-77 is the culmination of this endeavor. A car sublime in every detail. Aston Martin has a rich heritage of craftsmanship; One-77 builds on this, seamlessly blending the highest caliber of contemporary engineering with the craft and beauty of the artisan’s work. It is the very essence of Aston Martin. One-77 fuses advanced technology with stunning design to create possibly the world’s most desirable automotive art form.

“One-77 expresses all the ingenuity that Aston Martin has acquired in recent years. It is the culmination of all the beauty and emotion that we can bring into the car and by this, it is an expression of what Aston Martin stands for”

Dr Ulrich Bez, CEO Aston Martin


Production Year: 2009 - 2012

Body Style: 2-door Coupe (Supercar)

Price: £ 1.15 million

Engine: 7.3 liter, NA V12

Power Output: 750 Horsepower

Torque: 553 lb ft

Top speed: 220 MPH (354 KM/H)

0-60: 3.5 seconds

Transmission: 6-speed automated manual

Length: 4,601 mm (181.1 in)

Width: 2,204 mm (86.8 in)

Height: 1,222 mm (48.1 in)

Weight: 1,630 kg

Tires: Pirelli P Zero Corsa

Drivetrain: Front Engined, Rear Wheel Drive.

My Take On This: The proper, modern take on the McLaren F1 (SHOTS FIRED TO MCLAREN P1). Just really surprised it hasn't gotten voted yet. A car with a proper engineering background, and love enough to sway the hearts of more than your average British car enthusiast. Limited builds does mean you really can't dream of getting one, though.

And before you think of voting: HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT IT! IT'S AN ASTON ON STEROIDS.

Also a small plug: i put a white One-77 because it reflects my own fiction's current protagonist's car.

Cool Wall Special Announcement
From November 27th, 12 AM (22 Hours and 42 Minutes from the time of this post) until November 29th, 12 AM (48 Hour time span), you will be allowed to add a second nomination to the queue, as a part of a Thanksgiving special. You will not need to wait until both your nominations are polled to make a new one after this either, only the one not made during the Thanksgiving special counts as your one nomination.
 
Holy guacamole! I gotta get home and do another nominee, FAST!


EDIT: Done.

Spano was born as the fastest and most powerful automobile ever built in Spain for commercial purposes. In short, it is the car that will mark an era..


2013 Spania GTA Spano


GTASpano26.jpg


Source.

After 20 years of top automobile motorsport, Spania GTA decided to take one step forward and make director Domingo Ochoa's dream come true; build a supersports car that combines all the automobile technology with perfect sportsmanship, elegance and exclusivity.

Designed by Spania GTA's engineering director, Valencian-born Sento Pallardó, GTA Spano boasts the most advanced technology, innovative aesthetics, researched aerodynamics and a good number of solutions for the future, all of which are capable of competing with international prestigious brands in terms of both image and performance.

As a sign of its exclusivity, only 99 models of this extraordinary supersports car will be built to order and several world patents have been obtained. Indeed it is a car that is the beginning of an industry which leads to not only job creation, but also the transfer of the resulting technology to other sectors of society.



Production Year: 2013

Body Style: 2-door Coupe

Price: $725,000 (£470,000)

Engine: 8.1 liter, central rear longitudinally-mounted Viper V10

Power Output: 925 Horsepower

Torque: 900 lb ft

Top speed: 217 MPH (350 KM/H)

0-60: 2.9 seconds

Transmission: 7-speed manual or automatic, with sequential or paddle shift

Length: 4,648 mm (183 in)

Width: 1,979 mm (77.9 in)

Height: 1,199 mm (47.2 in)

Weight: 1,350 kg

Tires: Pirelli P Zero

Drivetrain: Mid Engined, Rear Wheel Drive.

My Take On This: I'd say, we put away the Ferraris and Lamborghinis; this is European art at work. Only trouble is how expensive it is (approximately 2 Aventadors), and how, i think, the Viper V10 engine, kind of makes it seem.. odd.
