Movie: "Speed Racer"

Car: Mach 5

What we know: The Wachowskis' ("V for Vendetta," "The Matrix" trilogy) highly anticipated live-action take on the animated TV favorite has had nostalgic gearheads drooling over photos of the specially made Mach 5 racer for months. The film was shot mostly with CGI and green screen. Enthusiam for this fantasy car is so widespread thatRoad and Track magazine went to ridiculous lengths as an April Fools' joke to review it, adding the appropriate specs that a 300-mile-per-hour supercar would require. This imaginary car from Racer Motors in Japan has a V-12 engine with 1,700 horsepower and goes 0-60 in 0.6 seconds. Go Speed Racer Go!
