Gosh darn it, beaten to the punch for the Atlantique.
Also beaten to the Ascari A10.
Gumpert Apollo.
LFA would be my choice, mainly for that insane V10 and the accompanying sound.
Can modern Vipers be considered proper supercars? Had a real soft spot for the original, and still do even though I now recognise it's rather shonky. New one lacks the character of the original, but is a far better product.
On the subject of old supercars that I love but now know to be shonky, Weigerts are rather wonderful things.
The Vector W8s are great looking machines, especially the interiorAlso beaten to the Ascari A10.

Stop being dense for the sake of supporting your points. You know very well I was talking style of the MR2 and not performance! What does it matter what engine it has?
You were the one who referred to the engine originally, not meDRVR said:
When I said the F40 was unferrari, I meant it was the most different of all Ferraris STYLE WISE when it came out. Obviously since then there are others which took styling ques from it. I thought I would not have to point out the obvious.
The F40 didn't follow any molds of road going Ferraris. And the tackled on aberration which was the Evoluzione was designed that way as a design exercise for the F40. They were already working on the F40. It's basically like they made a body kit for the 288 GTO to look like the F40. It was basically a proof of concept. They could as well have called it F38. They were already working towards that goal. It is more a prototype of the F40 using the 288 as a mule than a version of the 288 itself. This is why it was never really produced. They only made 5 of them. But the final design of the F40, again looked nothing like any road going Ferrari before it. The Evoluzione was basically a concept car.And the final F40 design is still different. It has flatter lines than the Evoluzione, because the Evoluzione, again, was a tackled on flatter lines body kit put on a more curved car. It looked awful. But considering the Evoluzione anything else other than a F40 prototype is not knowing the history of the car. It was the F40 fetus. Not really a 288 in itself. The 288 was just the mule.
Take a look at these and tell me, stylistically, which one is the odd one out....The F40 didn't follow any molds of road going Ferraris.
