"If you've ever snoozed at 35,000ft before finding God in the back of an airport taxi, you'll understand that speed is relative. No 0-60mph here, nor 0-100-0mph, but just the cars that remind us, in the terrifying thick of it, that we are utterly alive."

Basically these are cars that were fast for thier class, and what they were.
i.e. #24 - Fiat 695 Abarth. Slow compared to a Porsche but bloody quick for what it is.

1: Hire Car

A hire car at #1?

by Top Gear.
"Yes, the fastest car in the world is one that belongs to someone else."

Shouldn't this be in "Cars in General"?

And, yeah, if it's not your car, it's automatically twice as fast... ...I've done stuff on testers that I'd never think of doing in my car.

Fastest car I've driven lately? Either a Kia Rio or a Honda Fit. There are things you can do in those econoboxes that you wouldn't dream of doing in something more expensive.

I second that, nothing loves being revved out to the rev-limiter, handbrake turns and jumping over speed humps as a rental car. A Ford Fiesta has never been so much fun!
