1884 De Dion Bouton Et Trepardoux
World's first "concept car". Any speculations about understeer or oversteer?

Any other old farts (like me) here remember the "Supercar" TV series?

And I don't care that it's not legal to drive in any sense!

Did you see the recent "Top Gear" where The Stig took this around the track? The Zonda R topped the Veyron in lap time. However, Clarkson had to disqualify it because it wasn't a "street legal" production car.

That happens all the time, every time a non-street legal car comes on.

Yes exactly why I said what I said lol. The thing looked like a cartoon the way it blasted around the track without even the slightest bit of body roll.

Veyron grand sport convertible, the ultimate road car imo.

If I was allowed another for the track I would have a Ferrari FXX.

Good call.

I'm surprised no one has selected a specific car yet, but rather just listed make and models. I.e. I'd have James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger, rather than just a DB5.

Umm I did, there was only one "Mormon Meteor" made, it had a 1650 cu.in. Curtiss V12 and it averaged 150mph over a 24hour around the Utah Salt Flats (in 1935 no less,) hence the name Mormon Meteor.

I apologise and retract my statement (also... Good choice!)
