Christmas Special: Top 5 Videos Of Sports Cars With Christmas Trees On Their Roofs – Zigwheels.com

Christmas is a great way to end the year you get a break from work, relax with the family and focus all your energy on simply keeping warm. But in some cultures, its that time of the year when you have to put a roof rack on whichever vehicle you own, drive to a farm, and bring home a real baby pine tree strapped to the cars roof, all the while hoping it wouldnt untangle and reduced to debris on the road. Most of us wouldnt subject an expensive exotic to such an ordeal. But dont worry, no sports cars were harmed in the making of these videos:

Hennessey Performance Audi RS6

Even without modifications, a stock Audi RS6 Avant estate can still get you to 100kmph in just 3.6 seconds. But this Hennessey-tuned RS6 station wagon puts out more than 800PS from its twin-turbo V8 engine, and even with a tree on top, it could still manage to reach 294.5kmph! Without the tree, the top speed is 330kmph, making it an incredibly fast estate car.

BMW M2 Competition

You wouldnt want a once-a-year tradition to ruin your cars expensive paintwork. Thats why this BMW M2 owner has given her car a wrap that makes the Bimmer look like its wearing a Christmas sweater, before putting a christmas tree on it. Its all fun and games until the fuel stop at the end of the video.

Lamborghini Murcielago Replica

No sane person would risk breaking parts on a Italian supercar made in small numbers thats no longer in production. Thankfully, this Lamborghini replica isnt a Murcielago, its a Toyota MR2 turbo sports car underneath. It looks brilliant on the road with a christmas tree on its roof, but the cabin is cramped, the roof leaks, its peak winter and its raining.

Hennessey Performance Porsche 911

This Porsche 911 Turbo S is owned by John Hennessey himself, and its been boosted to 750PS. It still gets to 281kmph with a tree strapped to its roof. But pine trees werent made to be aerodynamic, and that shows in the second run, where the car seems visibly more stable and adept at handling speed. It reaches terminal velocity at around 330kmph.

Morgan Plus Four CX-T

Occasionally getting to drive iconic, rare sports cars is a fringe benefit of working at Morgan, and 19-year-old Hamish exploits it fully during Christmas shopping. He straps the tree on a battle-scarred prototype, and drives it the way the Plus Four CX-T was meant to be driven sliding around happily in the mud. Thankfully, the tree comes home intact mostly.

Bonus: Tesla Model 3

To end this listicle on a sensible note, here's a video of Christmas tree shopping done right. You might already know about Tesla's glass roofs, so unless youre ready to risk an expensive repair bill, all the luggage has to go in the boot. As it turns out, even Teslas smallest Model 3 sports sedan can hold a properly large Christmas tree with the rear seats folded flat. The Model 3 carries it in emissions-free silence, and if the tree is properly secured, the EV can scoot from 0-100kmph as quickly as any other car on this list.
