Here's a fun one I saw a while ago

Homer Simpson has been busy again.......

Haha, it does look quite ugly (in my opinion). Took me ages to work out what it was.

I liked the wrapped Porsche though, I thought it was interesting

[Doofus]

It looks a bit better in other colours, but it definitely looks like it's been taken from Ferrari's current design book.

[giblet]

The ZeroUno looks like a bastardised Lambo to me. The price is utterly bonkers too.

Back when car ownership wasn't virtually universal and jour average worker might aspire to something like this


supercar makers had it pretty easy.


Now that even quite modest cars look pretty swoopy, supercars are having to look ever more outrageous to even get a second look.
I don't know how long this can carry on before people just point and laugh rather than say 'wow'.

Could do with some wheel spacers on that LFA.

Hi,

I know one of them is on the plate V10 NBR, not sure if there is another one that is on 17 plate ?

Italdesign ZeroUno

That ZeroUno looks like a stretched and chopped version of the new CTR.

I'm pretty certain I spotted a White 17 plate LFA. It was a really brief glimpse, so I'm not a 100% certain.

Anyone know if there's one based in or around Essex

Are sure it wasn't a Lexus LC? At speed coming towards you, they can seem similar.

Seriously? They don't look anything like each other imo

Yes, Seriously....I can see how it can have been mistaken with just a quick glipse

Probably means the Porsche behind with the owner with vivid imagination

In that case, apologies. As you were.

It's a Porsche, BTW

I’ve gone from point and laugh to just looking the other way ... there are some glorious cars to be seen on our roads but modern supercars aren’t doing it for me.

Yesterday on M25....

A convoy of three Lambos....

A red Aventador followed by a red Countach followed by a red Muira....couldn’t take a picture but a spot of a lifetime!

Have to be honest I'm just the same. Modern supercars leave me cold, I love classics be they 80s Ferraris, 60s Jags or 50s Americana.

Something related to the Pirelli road show. There were a load of UK reg cars and also old DTM cars and then the red thing. I quite liked the multicolour Porsche, better than some kind of tacky camo wrap or the crap quality matt black council estate gangster wrap. At least the Porsche had colour!

Was in town for a weekend before it moved on again.

Supercars are all about "Look At Me!", IMO. So I consciously don't.

Speaking of 'look at me' cars I was shocked to see a pair of Countaches in Kenmore, Perthshire yesterday. One red, one white with L3MBO plate. I assume they were replicas but still made quite a show going through town.

Also saw a red 458 Speciale up the road in Crianlarich. Unusual in those parts.
