Top ten most polluting vehicles list dominated by supercars

It's a truism that big power requires lots of fuel. There's simply no way around it. So it's not surprising that a newly compiled top 10 list of the world's most polluting passenger cars is composed primarily of supercars. Leading the way is the Bugatti Veyron, rated at a whopping 571g/km CO2.

That's 15% higher than number two on the list, the Lamborghini Murcielago, ticking over at 495g/km CO2 in coupe form, or 500g/km as a roadster. Third through sixth place are much more closely grouped, spanning two Ferraris and the Dodge Viper in addition to one of the only non-supercars on the list: the Bentley Arnage/Azure/Brooklands, rated at 465g/km.

Ferrari's 430 Scuderia and California are downright green by comparison, emitting just 360g/km and 310g/km respectively. Some cars that might make the list - such as SSC's Ultimate Aero - aren't included due to their very small volume production and somewhat lower profiles. Near misses to the list include the Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG (392g/km) and Rolls-Royce Phantom (377g/km).

By way of comparison to some more 'normal' cars, the Nissan 350Z emits 280g/km, BMW's M3 Coupe puts out 285g/km and the Chevrolet Corvette is rated at 316g/km.

Top Ten Most Polluting Cars:

1. Bugatti Veyron: 571g/km
2. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640: 495g/km (500g/km in Roadster form)
3. Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano: 490g/km
4. Ferrari 612 Scaglietti: 475g/km
5. Bentley Arnage/Azure/Brooklands: 465g/km
6. Dodge Viper SRT-10: 463g/km
7. Ferrari F430 (Coupe & Spider): 420g/km
8. Hummer H2: 412g/km
9. Mercedes G500: 400g/km
10. Bentley Continental GT/GTC/Flying Spur: 396g/km

Zobra G40 Murcielago body kit isn’t all that smart

Just in case Lamborghini Murcielago happens to be your dream car, but your wallet won’t allow you to own the Lambo, the Zorba G40 Body Kit could possibly be the thing for you. And what else, it is also the perfect thing to go along with the “I’d buy it if I could” attitude, and if you see someone getting off from one of these with a fake Gucci bag, that someone is likely to be a pro. Not that the kit is downright ugly (it’s only ugly) even if someone spends $31,000 to get this weird fitting for the car, there’s absolutely no way it could recreate the wonderful hum of Lamborghini’s engine.
