Problem is with this article it's just "cars we have on our classifieds" rather than an actual effort to make a super car bucket list
Yeah, but it's still somewhat surprising to me how many people don't seem to understand that.

If you want to start making lists of your top 6 supercars money no object, well that's what the forums are for....

Good point. In which case I may consider this:

The F40 is the king of supercars.
The only supercar that holds any appeal for me.

LFA and CGT for me.
The others don’t do a lot for me.

220 would be nice but not bucket list.

Most of them barely manage a few hundred miles a year. Pointlessly over engineered garage queens....

Aren’t all the CGT’s “grounded” until Porsche provide a replacement part for the suspension?
Not sure I’d be buying a car I wouldn’t be able to drive anywhere.

The XJ220, all day long and every day for the rest of my life. I respect the prowess of the other five, like the styling even in the case of a few, but nothing else that has ever graced tarmac holds as much allure for me as this car. Its even in the colour I'd chose, Spa Silver. What a thing to own. It'll never happen in my lifetime, but a man can dream.

I’d take a Ford GT or GT40 and a manual Zonda.

Don’t care for these really, most look a bit dated to my young eyes.

The base F430 is an ugly design but the Scuderia is the road Ferrari which received more inputs from Michael Schumacher, so should definitely be on this list.
Scuderia is one of the best cars to drive I have ever owned and I regret selling it so much, so stupid and unnecessary. I keep looking at them, but I'd hate to buy another one for 50k more than I got for mine after I put like 25k into it over 2 years to fix stuff and make it perfect again. argh stupid

CGT is peak car for me, but missed the boat on those and now they remain dream garage car forever with no chance of moving to actual garage.

Very lucky to have had a Scuderia back in the day -
And I'd not argue about its inclusion but I think Id want a 458 Speciale instead.

Had a 650S, which was superb so ,675LT --YES

The Carrera GT and LFA both bucket list for me for sure

XJ220 and Diablo , not so much.

I'd pick Aston 177 and Countach QV instead

I'd take A as well as B.
However would like the spider version of the 675LT
Hey Mike.

I have had a 675LT spider for just over 3 years and it genuinely is and absolutely amazing car.

I wanted one from the day they were launched but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be in the position to have one.

I use it for everything; weekend breaks away, blast up the Highlands or going to pick up a takeaway, all with the roof down.

Drives easier than a mini, but still does 0-124mph in just over 7 secs and zero scuttle shake....what a car!

I think the suggestion is a joke at the expense of R8 owners who think they run a supercar

The McLaren and the Ferrari are almost anonymous on this list, given the other choices. That Diablo though, my word. What a machine. The XJ220 is also stunning and frankly, I thought that one would have been going for more.

The Diablo for me, one would be my first big lotto win purchase

As an aside, the McLaren shows that supercars nowadays have become so uninteresting, I could easily walk past modern day supercars without a care in the world
I think the big difference nowadays is that you see supercars like McLarens on a far more regular basis. Then there’s the proliferation of YouTube videos as soon as a car is announced. The shock and awe of seeing a supercar back in the day has now gone. They used to sell so few of the things in comparison to today. I have seen a 288 GTO twice in the wild. I can still tell you where and when today, even though 30 - 40 years have since passed.

I don’t get this a mapped BMW 140i would be quicker than any of them for 1/30th of the price of the cheapest ‘super’ car here
