If you had one free ticket to any car currently available even if it?s still a prototype (but it must exist and we at least need some specs), what would you take? For me it?s easy:

2003 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron which creams anything and everything. (edit, just checked, it does have turbochargers) :)

I refuse to click on other.

My dream cars include the Audi Sport Quattro and Porsche 968 Turbo S.

One for the snow, and one for the track. The again I don't think the Porsche really is up to the task of being a snowplow:D

Where is the BMW M5? I know it is relatively pedestrian compared to these others, but it is still one of the world's most desirable cars.

The Veyron is quad turbo.

I'd personally love a TVR Tuscan R.

You should probably add Saleen to the list as well as TVR.

You all who vote for Mclaren do realize that the Bugatti Veyron has a top speed of 250mph, 1000 horsepower, 0-60 in 3.1 sec, and is FAR FAR superior and civilized when compared to the Mclaren or even the F50/60.

The difference is, the McLaren actually exists, whereas the Veyron is to this point a paper tiger. The McLaren is perhaps the most focused automotive design of all time, and still the best-performing street-legal car on earth six years after its creation.

My car. Only, a very different version of my car. :)


Nothing against those cars, they're all very nice cars, but I like my car, it's fun.

The Veyron is real, it has been track tested, plenty of articles have featured it, it has been featured on many motor shows, but you cant buy it just yet. In a few monthsn maybe...

To be very honest, my dream car right now is something that's brand new and doesn't break down on me. I've never had a new car and my car is up North getting fixed because of a blown head gasket.

That makes it a prototype in my book, not a production car. I still have yet to see a single test of it with its final production (987 bhp) drivetrain.

I'd either take a Ferrari F50 (awesome!!) 550 Maranello, Lamborghini Diablo, or Hennessey Viper Venom 800 Twin Turbo = 833 HP, 902 ft lbs of torque.. RAW power.
