Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 7)

Toyed with putting this in the ‘cars you never knew existed’ thread, but thought this was a more appropriate home.

15 seat Packard limo built for VIPs at the Trinity nuclear test.

But it isn't a supercar is it?

Not exactly rare, lardy, ugly either!

It's got four exhausts - that used to be the mark of a Supercar!

3 carbs and fuel injection? I guess that's what being a council member (ret'd) gets you.

Looks like he hasn't ... there's a dropped kerb just behind the car.

Do it. I've a GTC which on the road at least is 90% of the R but with a little more comfort. Awesome cars

I guess a Performante spyder is rare ish but one with the Hyundai front spoiler option is rarer?

Did you hear/see it...I understand those Hyundai's can be a bit of a handful on WOT.

It's a long way to the next drop kerb. I'd be having kittens reversing down it the way it went up.

Off Topic - I was in my wife's SLK230 at the lights on the roundabout below the M4 at Slough. Before me was a quarter of roundabout and the slip road up to the motorway heading west. Next to me drew up an AMG GT. The passenger nodded approval of my three pointed star. At least, I guess that's what it was. We didn't have a lot more in common. The lights changed and we set off. Although I do like to press on, I understood how different the two cars' were in terms of performance. The slip road is about a quarter of a mile long. When I reached this end, the GT was at the other. By 'eck, it were quick.
