2020: The most important cars

Hello everyone and welcome to the January edition of Right car. In this month’s edition I will be taking you through and explaining the coolest and most interesting cars of 2020, according to me. I will keep this list short, consisting of only the 10 coolest and most interesting cars as as always, I will be putting pictures of them all at the bottom of this post. So sit back, relax and enjoy this trip through the year 2020 in terms of automobiles.

10: Ford Mustang R-Spec. This car is the first car to developed/conceived/built in Australia since Toyota closed its Altona factory in October, 2017, marking the end of Australian-built, mass-produced cars. The Mustang R-Spec is a collaboration between Ford Performance and Herrod Performance, a tuning company in Adelaide, South Australia. This Mustang, because of being partially built by a tuning company, produces 500kw (670hp) as its peak power output, thus making it the most powerful Mustang ever sold in Australia.

9: Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder. This car is basically a Performante Spyder but with slightly different styling and a much lower price tag. This is because the Evo Spyder has the same power and torque numbers as the Performante and even has the same steering system with the Evo even retaining the Performante’s Rear-Wheel Steering system, making it easier to make tight turns at low speed and keeping it stable when cornering on the racetrack.

8: Porsche 911 992 Manual. I think with the manual transmission, Porsche has just made the best 911 ever, in my opinion. This is because it has great technology, a wonderful interior and infotainment system, an extremely potent and responsive engine with an amazing exhaust note and now a manual transmission which I assume will be flawless. I will even go so far as to say that I think Porsche has just made the greatest driver’s car for sale in Australia.

7: BMW M8. This car is a higher performance version of the M850i, the previous high-performance version of the BMW 8 Series. This car has more power and torque than the M850i, a standard fare with high-performance versions of regular cars, less weight, a lower centre of gravity for better cornering and a higher top speed. There is also a competition variant and a Gran Coupe of the M8, the competition variant lowering both the centre of gravity and the weight of the car even more and the Gran Coupe essentially turning it into a sedan.

6: Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR. The Golf GTI TCR was inspired by the race car that bears the same name. For inspiration from that car, they took the engine, which has dramatically more power and torque than the regular GTI’s engine, threw it in a GTI’s body and lowered its weight. The finished product is a car that is more powerful, faster to 100km/h (62mph) and has a higher top speed than the regular GTI. A fitting last hurrah for the Mk. 7 Golf.

5: Audi RS6 Avant/RS7 Sportback. These cars are the last cars that Audi Sport are putting their 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 in, except for the SQ7 and S/RSQ8. In these cars, the V8 is making 600 hp (447 kW). This is enough power to send the cars to 100km/h (62mph) in 3.7 seconds. They are also very differently styled to the A6/7 on which they are based in order to make them look appropriately RS-like. They also have some special menus in the infotainment screen and digital gauge cluster to display various performance readings.

4: Mercedes-AMG A45. This car is special for one main reason. Not that it does the 0-100km/h (62mph) in faster than any other hot hatchback or the fact that it has class-leading technology and comfort. No, this car is special because it has the most powerful four-cylinder engine fitted to any car. This engine produces an absolutely mind-boggling 310kw (422hp). You can also get this car in sedan so you can disturb the distribution of your luggage as well as disturb the position of your head in the car (shoving it back against the headrest).

3: Porsche Taycan. This car is the first fully-electric car from Porsche. This car is an absolute wonder of engineering as it has similar performance to a Porsche 911 without emitting a gram of carbon dioxide in the process. This car also has another thing on it’s side, the amount of times you can repeat the runs with consistent results. To put this into context, let’s take the Tesla Model S P100D for example. The Tesla is half a second quicker than the fastest Taycan to 100km/h (62mph) but the Tesla takes ages to optimise its batteries for this kind of performance and you can only get these times for 1 or 2 runs. The Taycan, on the other hand, immediately optimises its batteries and can consistently achieve it’s times over numerous runs.

2: BMW M2 CS. This car is also a wonder of engineering as the people at BMW M have managed to squeeze the engine from the M3 and M4 into this car, making it the most powerful M2 ever with 327kw (444hp) of power. It’s body has also been filled with carbon fibre and alcantara, with almost every surface covered with the stuff. It has also been fitted with new, stiffer suspension to help it stay flat in the corners so you can go pretty much flat out around a race track.

1: Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series. I put this as number one as this will, when it comes out, be quite possibly the coolest car of the 2000’s. The modifications to these cars will include a massive increase in power and torque, a dramatic reduction in weight, lowered and stiffer suspension, more aero and wider and stickier tires. If Mercedes decides to put a manual in this car, it could quite possibly be the coolest car in the history of the automobile.
