Best supercar

[El Bourricot]

Also those I can't put on the list please post:

- Any other Ferrari

- AM Vanquish

- Merc SLR

- Any Jag

- 8-series beemer

- Schuppan (the only model ever made)

- Edonis (bweh!)

edit - how could i forget??!!! - Porsche Carrera GT

- any other Porsche

- any Noble

- Merc CL55, SL55 and the such

After seeing most of these drive (either on video or in real life) I have to say the F1 is my fav. Its butt may be rather big and ugly, but it's exciting even just to watch!

Any other suggestions? It's so nice to dream sometimes...

edit - please don't add supercars which haven't been on the market for long, or haven't actually been sold yet, such as the Veyron, the Chrysler 4-12 and the merc SLR. As far as I'm concerned they're just concepts, and we're talking about cars which have been tried and tested and proven to be amazing.

How about Porsche Carrera GT and GT2 ? GT is out, right?

Hard to say really.. there are so many!

I think the McLaren F1 deserves some props.. its taken a LONG time for anyone to beat Gordon Murrays car for all out performance.. but to be honest I like different supercars for different reasons!

* Ferarri's - pedigree, V12 howl!

* Merc SLR - that supercharged V8 sounds breathtaking (seen one on a track IRL)!

* Pagani Zonda - amazing italian styling, excellent AMG engine

* Lambo Murcielago or Gallardo - awesome looks, tamed and refined by Audi!

Picking just one would be very tough! :)

Pretty soon it will be the Bugatti Veyron, no question.

3, Ferrari F355

3, Porsche GT2

All the previous cars mentioned are awesome for their own reasons. However, you asked what was our favorite. My all-time favorite is the Countach. Just love the innovative lines and the tilt forward doors.

-Ascari KZ1-expensive, but oh-so nice

-TVR Sagaris-amazing vehicle, too bad it's not legal here due to lack of bumpers, because i was seriously considering getting one...they're cheap enough for a lot of people to be able to afford one.

-any of the new Astin Martin vehicles.

-any lamborghini...always been my favorite company, but about the only cars I have a hope of getting are the older ones like the Miura (hey, i love that car anyway, so no complaining)

Skyline for your ricers..? Japs make some good cars too... LOL

I used to like the McLarens. I like the new Ferrari, the one after the Enzo, based on the Enzo look.. forgot what it's called... (F430?)

[robsleezy]

well what happened to the Dodge Viper i recently got mine back from hennessey and its a 1000TT its a badass viper

Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing from the 1950's. Before you say it's not a supercar, it was a supercar for it's day, so it counts :p

rc :rofl:

Indeed.. that merc was one of the first proper supercars, so worthy of the title i'd say! :)

i like ur list... prolly along the same lines for me...

[Galley]

The Chrysler ME Four Twelve

The engine is from AMG, with 850 bhp @ 5750 rpm, with 850 lb-ft. (1150 N-m) of torque between 2500 and 4500 rpm on premium unleaded fuel.

With a curb weight of just 2880 lbs. (1310 kg), the ME Four-Twelve has the weight-to-power ratio of 3.4 lbs/bhp — a new performance record. In actual Chrysler speed runs, the ME Four-Twelve goes from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds, 0-100 mph in 6.2 seconds, and it will blister through the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds at 135 mph. The estimated top speed of the ME Four-Twelve is 248 mph (400 km/h). :drool:

[El Bourricot]

Haha! awesome! (the 300SL) I've always loved the Merc SLs!

Well I wasn't really including concepts (hence there being no Veyron) but if you must...

[Pipppetto]

Agree with Rastachops

SL300 must be seen as the finest sportscar for its time, and in perspective probably the finest in its century.

as far as technology goes, the criteria defining what's good now could be obsolete just tomorrow, so IMHO the comparison should be done between available cars NOT older than 1 year.

Isn't the Veyron out this year?

[El Bourricot]

They're being delayed and delayed by technical problems. Last time I heard they had heating problems (no wonder considering the 16l monster) and the car had a tendency to take off! So it's probably still going to be postponed. But no matter, Audi is rich...

Anyway this thread is about legends, not about future concepts cos we don't know what they're like yet, just what they look like and what techs they introduce. Otherwise my fav would be the Skycar :p :p :p :p

[Drone]

The F1. Such a great car. :yes:

[Sam]

Bugatti Veyron

Volkswagen w12 (the one that ran at Nardo)

Mercedes SLR

Aston Martin DB9

Ferrari 355

McLaren F1

[Ivand]

F1 til death, I MUST have one of those

[BroChaos Veteran]
