Choose Your Supercar (from some of my favs)
. No Veyon either - pig ugly and about 1000kg overweight in my book
Veyron is an odd beast, yes it has 1001 hp but it has things like a radiator for the hydraulics on the spoiler FFS, why not stick with electric and bin all the hydraulic mess?
A supercar has to be beautiful, hideously impractical, exclusive and hellish to keep, Porsche 917 it is:

Just drive up to Glencoe and knock on Mr Savilles door and be done with it. Hope you like Werthers Originals.GregR wrote:F40. No contest.
Raw. No driving aids, not bogged down with a/c, a stereo, door handles...
Plus, it did adorn my bedroom wall for nigh on 5 years when I was a youngster (and I think I still have 2 Burago die-cast models of the bad-boy at mum & pop's house!) Centemental value weighs high! However, I wonder if it would be like meeting one of your heroes...

If you have the money, no problem.
What you pay now...............
1970 Porsche 917
Chassis No: 917 020
$2.25m
Contact: Wayne Jackson
Telephone: +001 (410) 493 2883
E-mail: Wayne@962.com
Chassis 917.020 remains arguably the single most correct, meticulously restored and one of the single most historicly important surviving vehicle of its type in existence. Chassis 917.020 is fully documented from the very moment built by the Porsche Factory, through each of its individual races and on to its one and sole owner since new. It is in fact the only one-owner-from-new Porsche 917 in existence. It is also the only 917 known to still have its original Porsche Factory Invoice. While it is most always associated with its overall victory at the gruelling 12 Hours of Sebring, this is but one small part of this most fortunate vehicle.
Chassis 917.020 is one of the few fabled Porsche 917 Coupes which swept the board in endurance racing in both 1970 and 1971. It also has the distinction of being the winner of the Sebring Twelve Hour Race in 1971, driven by Vic Elford and Gerard Larrousse. This car is one of just five 917 Coupes to have won a major World Endurance Championship Race remaining outside of Factory ownership today.
And what it cost in 1972.

Mac F1 is the obvious omission on the list, but my personal fave is the Fez 288GTO, for its sheer beauty & purposefulness, also not listed, so I plumped for the F40

Right you are all being silly. F1 for performance. One of the two below for looks. Don't like Lambos normally but I'll have my Miura in white please.
Not sure if this is a supercar. But mine would be in red. (Saw one in Bray (just outside Maidenhead) once, parked outside the cricket club. My non-car loving mates didn't give it a second look whilst I stopped slack jawed and gazed.)
