The 'most ridiculous Car of the Year' award goes to this - the Hummer GT built by GeigerCars.de. Its 6-litre V8 has been supercharged, lifting power to 548bhp and torque to 564lb ft. However, the behemoth will still be out-sprinted by any warm hatch, as it takes 7.9sec to reach 62mph.

The doors open conventionally or in scissor fashion while the wheels are truly gargantuan – 30in diameter and 10in wide – and cost 28,000 Euros (tyres included) per set. The finished monstrosity costs 133,900 Euros. Have the famous Gulf colours ever been worn by a less illustrious car?
