The best car (but worst photo) until last: What a spot, and WHAT a noise!

Bloke on the left looks singularly unimpressed.

The poseurs in Monaco are getting so desperate they are having to resort to pairs of Enzos.

*Awaiting pics from the teenage car spotters hanging around on Sloane Street London*

Porsche 918 Oakley Design (looks just the same)
Chrome SLS
White Pagani Huayra and Mercedes G63 6x6 owned by Yazeed al Rajhi
Oakley Design Aventador
DMC Aventador Roadster
Novitec Ferrari F12

ETC

The 918 has a lot of work under production and runs 950hp so a little different from stock

I was out in the 918 again yesterday and having talked to the project engineers I'm at a loss to understand how the car can be "tuned" without throwing up endless errors or even worse breaking the engine

Also the standard is meant to be running >910 so why throw away the warranty for 40bhp, someone must be desperate to burn money

Anyway in its stock form its the best car I've ever driven on the road

Delighted to hear that traxx, cos of the current lot it is my favourite. What colour are you getting ??

Found this yesterday, Agera R. It sounded insane, a much better car than any Veyron imo.

That's my favourite 458 but its so spoilt by those st looking alloys

Amazing car. Standard Sloane Street poser fly by then.

If I could afford two supercars I think I'd go for different models.

Pfft, once you're inside and on the road, one Enzo feels just like any other Enzo.


ETA So I should imagine. I've never actually driven one.

That, has to be one of the most hideous abominations of a vehicle that I have ever seen.

I know its horses for courses, but that would still look st if it had a bit part in a cheap Transformers movie.

Often see this blasting around Dubai. Hideous thing!

Saw it on a low loader last week, so guess it was on its way to the airport then

[TFJJ]

Love this pearl white Carrera GT.

Some recent things

This had some weird off centered Performante stripes on the bonnet.



Yellow works quite well on the Aventador



A very bad photo but my camera doesnt like chrome

[Scooby P1]

Not convinced that Porsche likes chrome either...

I'm not sure its the chrome, more the added bits of red tat. It also wouldnt suprise me to find that was a fake roof vent either.

[BrabusMog]

Is it a GT2?

Yes

[F1GTRUeno]

I'd love to ask the owners of those cars why they think chrome looks good.

Or the entire colourscheme of the Porsche...

You could say that about most modded cars though.

Because this whole Oakley thing is a load of BS ... and this zeus guy is either Oakley or part of Oakley.

Either way, it has so much presence, looks incredible. (Picture isn't mine, stolen off Facebook)

The 918S is def the best of the electric supercars. Prettier and practicaler than the LF and P1. But the 918S is not selling well at all. The lack of F1 pedigree is playing against it.

photo taken by a mate (in a left hand drive car obviously) today. Aston Martin Rapide Shooting Brake.

Looks fantastic I think - beautifully proportioned. Went right to the top of my list of potential family car replacements for maybe the car after next, until I found out this is the only one, and Aston were considering a limited run of 10 for £1.5m....



so - 1 of 1, top that!

That's an AM/Bertone Jet 2+2 made last year as a one off for a customer during their Centenary year

I passed it on the M1 near London and posted it on this thread a few months ago. Looks very pretty in the flesh. Not worth a million quid, though. 90% of the cars driving by didn't give it a second glance.

Don't think that's the reason also Porsche is the most successful sports car manufacturer.

LaF - Limited to 500, selected it's customers
P1- Limited to 350ish (cant remember the exact number) - customers enquired and got build slots
918 - no idea on numbers or how it was ordered but i think you can order it through a normal dealer.

But i think the 918 looks the coolest, just because of the jet-pack style exhausts
