Personally, the Bugatti Veyron for me. What can I say... fastest car in the world, most expensive, and one of the best interiors i've ever seen in a car. Not to mention two V8's joined together for a W16 with 4 turbochargers and 1001 bhp. Some people don't like the looks of it, but I really do. This all adds up to my favorite car.

That's unusual, looks more like a dune buggy than a car. Still cool looking, but I prefer the supercar look.

AmeriTech McLaren F1 LM. Always has been and always will be the ultimate in the over-the-top supercar industry.

I quite like the Veyron, it's got solid looks and it truly is an engineering achievement. The Veyron has more technology packed into it then all other supercars combined. For those of you with R&T, be sure to read the article on the Veyron from a few months ago where they talked with the designer. It's some fascinating stuff for sure.

Another favorite of mine is the Pagani Zonda F. It's exterior looks are nice, but what's really amazing is the interior.

The Ariel Atom is always nice too.....it's basically the production version of what Kevin linked to.

And as far as affordable(ish) cars are concerned, the Supra twinturbo is absolutely amazing.

Isnt that the Ariel Atom?
http://www.arielatom.com/

INSANE car. On the Top Gear test track it was only 1-2 seconds behind a Ferarri Enzo and faster than my real favourite car, the Porsche Carerra GT. But even the fully loaded Ariel is only 70 grand. Far cry from the 650 grand for the GT.

This is what Im talkin about

Scratch the jaguar off the list for me. I think ferrari has better models in its selection. But the lamborghini, Selene, and probably ferari spyder are the best super cars, imo. The spyder isn't necesarrily a nice fast car, but it has a classy look to it that just makes you turn your head. Although any bright red expensive sports car does that. But you know, its a convertable. [:)]

I've seen some nice cars around my college too... one dude drives a yellow Gallardo, another a black Murcealago roadster, and yet another has a red Ferrari 360. Also seen several Vipers around. It's so cool because you can hear the Lambos from a long ways away, so you know when they're coming.

The new Ferrari 559 looks pretty sweet, but I tend to like the F430better.

As for cars I actually have a chance at owning, Subaru WRX STI, before they ruined the styling, of course.

Also the Porsche Cayman is pretty sweet too.

Peugeot 307 XSI FTW! I have to wait until monday to get mine. Also I like the design on the Honda Accord estate and nice interior. My Dad has the top spec model and I generaly love that car. Super cars don't do alot for me. I'd rather have a house than own one of those cars. If I could have any car it would be a top of the range Land Rover Vogue

The only way you're gonna get an NSX for 20 g's is if it has massive mileage and/or damage/condition issues. And at that point, I'd get a Supra twin turbo instead for sure. Just as good of looks and an egnine that more than compensates for the fact it's not handmade.

No supercars, but luxourycars make me go crazy. I prefer having ultimate comfort instead of ultimate speed (I'll go to themeparks for that [;)])
I love the new Audis, especially the Q7.
It doesn't only look enormeous, but the sound this beast produces, especially from the inside is like 'holy crap'.
Another, affordable, is our current car; the VW Phaeton. Not the exterior, but the interior looks very nice to me. It's so beutiful and plain, and the dark leather(we've black seats) is adorable.
If I was older, I would probably go for a Chrysler 300.. No comments, just look at its grill and its profile. Yumme

I always found it odd how the EFIJY concept is made by Holden....I would have expected something like that from a carmaker like Morgan or Maybach. As for the Excelero, it's an awesome car for sure. The thing is an absolute beast. It makes Rolls Royces look small, and can keep up with an Enzo.....how's that for amazing.

The Bugatti Veyron is considered a Grand Tourer, not a supercar.

If I had a family, I would be extremely happy with one of these:
-Aston Martin Rapide: http://www.seriouswheels.com/top-2006-A ... oncept.htm
-Peugeot 908 RC: http://www.seriouswheels.com/top-2006-P ... oncept.htm]Peugeot 908 RC
