Nearly there! 
Any guesses for Number One yet?
30. Ferrari Dino
Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredino died tragically young, leaving his father grief stricken for the rest of his life. This V6 Ferrari is named in the son's honour - the Dino also remains one of the prettiest Ferraris ever, if not the quickest.
29. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII
Take this rally-bred, fire-breathing four-wheel drive tarmac demon over a favourite piece of twisty blacktop and there is only one thing that'll stay with it. A Bell JetRanger. No, seriously, this thing is absolutely mental, which is why you all love it so much.
28. Vauxhall Lotus Carlton
Back in the early 1990s, this twin-turbo, rear-wheel drive Vauxhall Carlton was the fastest production saloon on the planet, with its near 400bhp good for a shade under 180mph. At the time, a well known motoring mag asked somebody famous for going very quickly in a straight line to test it (he'll remain nameless). And no, that wasn't tyre smoke. Clutch, actually...
27. BMW M5
BMW installed a 500bhp V10 in an outwardly ordinary saloon - the result is a car that will reach 205mph if all of the electronic limiters were switched off. And with an F1 style seven-speed sequential-shift gearbox, this car is so fast that some are calling it irresponsible (just as they did with the Lotus Carlton). Not to worry, though, as you have to push a button to get the full 500 - default power is 'limited' to 400bhp. Yikes.
26. Lancia Stratos
While other manufacturers took ordinary saloon cars and put go-faster kit on to create World Rally Championship rally cars, Lancia built the Stratos from the ground up as a rallycar. The fact that it looks sensational is just a happy coincidence, apparently.
25. Caterham/Lotus Seven
Caterham continued to develop the Lotus Seven, and it ended up as the best driver's car in the world. Faithful to Lotus founder Colin Chapman's lifelong mantra, the Seven is lightweight with brilliant handling balance and a supple ride. And they're strong little cars, too. 4Car's editor had the biggest crash of his life (on a circuit) in one and walked away. OK, limped away. OK, there might have been an ambulance involved...
24. Peugeot 205 GTi
Staffer and Pug-head Tom will be pleased to see the 205GTi doing so well. One of the greatest hot hatches of all time, this really is a driver's car, although it'll reward cack-handed treatment with an impromptu hedge-encounter. Glad to see 4Car-istas are so discerning, though.
23. Porsche Carrera GT
All you need to know about the Carrera GT is that its 5.7-litre, 612bhp V10 engine was developed for a stillborn LeMans racer. With no race car to stick it in, Porsche created the GT, which is so friendly and driveable you could use it for the daily commute. Or sneak onto the Mulsanne Straight when nobody's looking and give those Audis something to think on.
22. Citroen DS
As we get closer to the top ten, 4Car-ites are showing that they are the class of the field, car-judging-wise. The DS isn't just a gorgeous piece of car art, it's amazingly innovative, with hydro pneumatic suspension, swivelling headlights and proper aerodynamics. 4Car's former editor has one undergoing the final stages of a 14-year restoration. It'll be perfect.
21. Subaru Impreza Turbo
Being a Subaru Impreza or Mitsubishi Evo supporter is an article of faith - either one of these rally-bred lunatic motors will deliver the kind of cross-country pace that exotics costing three times as much would be hard pressed to match. Plainly, though, your sentimental favourite is the Scooby. Nice one.

Nothing remotely related.
