List of automotive superlatives

List of automotive superlatives

This page lists of the automobile industry - that is, the smallest, largest, fastest, lightest, best-selling, and other such topics.

In order to keep the entries relevant, the list (except for the Firsts section) will be limited to automobiles built after World War II. Many odd vehicles emerged in the early days of the automobile industry. There is a section for early superlatives, however.

The list will also be limited to production road cars that meet the following conditions:

# Vehicles constructed principally for the transport of people rather than other primary purposes.
# 20 or more examples must have been made by the original vehicle manufacturer and offered for commercial sale to the public in new condition - cars modified by either professional tuners or individuals are not eligible
# They must be street-legal in their intended markets and capable of passing any tests or inspections required to be granted this status
# They must have been built for retail sale to consumers for their personal use on public roads - no commercial or industrial vehicles are eligible
