I like the TechArt Panamera.

Is it just me or does that first picture look like a Vectra?

Thought the exact same thing.

Imagine the horror if your team mates at Man City thought that too?

Compared with TechArt, Carlsson's stand seemed a haven of calm civility, although the Danish company's big news for the show, the CK63 RS

Carlsson danish? It's german.

Kleemann is danish though.

Usual high standards of PH journalism and fact-checking there...

I'd take the Brabus over anything else there. There is just something so insane about that car that makes it a must have. Mind you, if I did by some miracle end up having one I don't think it would be too long before I was posting on SP&L about getting nicked for seeing if the claimed 0-186mph time was true

Anyone who does THAT to a GT3 RS should be taken outside and shot...

[pSyCoSiS]

Some of those efforts look stuniing, some are just plain hideous.

No doubt, their capabilities would be awesome.....

Word 'Danish' removed, Mr Fraser slapped on the wrist . He says he'll buy a Danish pastry for each forum user as recompense (this last bit may be a lie)

Just a quick rant to all the haters here... Most of you wish you could buy a car like these... But like me you can't, so please don't hate the players...

I would take any of these cars pictured here any day and I would drive them proudly... Just need the in-law to transfer me his 90% share in the company so I can start getting the dividends...

Apologies for the cross-border confusion - it was caused by a) stupidity and b) acute 'If You Don't Send That Now You Will Miss the Plane Back From Frankfurt' syndrome. And yes, Riggers might not have been telling the truth about the pastries…

[Carnnoisseur]

Not sure why these seem slightly overdone, whereas the FAB conversions don't?? (IMO)

No, no I wouldn't. Were I to win the Euro lottery tomorrow night (even more unlikely without a ticket) I would not even consider them, were someone to give me possession of one of these monstrosities I would thank the good Lord for the anonymity of Ebay.

There are plenty of cars that I DO dream of owning these are the stuff of nightmares.

"I am a drug dealer get me out of here?"

The Porker Cayenne looks nice, in a beefy way but I would rather get run over by one then drive one.

Nope. Infact I don't think I could live with myself spending that much on a car, never mind the taste factor.

"mad-as-you-like Benz G-wagen boosted by a quad-turbo V12 and knocking out 820bhp and 848lb ft (1150Nm)"

That's just mental.

Where can I try one out?

The Wiesmann, sir? 'Tis a car with a great reputation (never driven one, but I hear they're damn good)...

Yes Indeed - seen pictures of one before and thought it had strong XK styling cues, but the lights (and construction!) have a bit of Trevor's DNA I reckon.

In the same way we share 90 odd percent of a chimp's DNA?

- Germanic build quality vs. Blackpool crazy golf fibreglass
- Finely tuned M-Power hearts vs. Rover V8s or selfdestructomatic home brewed 6s
- ABS and DSC vs. spit you through a hedge anytime I feel like it

(And I quite like TVRs )

I don't get why these supercars don't have stainless steel exhaughts and air filters as standard. I also wonder when it will be OEM with 700bhp in a saloon.
