What Exotic have you yet to see in the flesh?
Discussion
Commenting on another thread gave me an idea for this topic. What exotic super car have you yet to lay your eyes on in the flesh? Asked a different way; what exotic have you yet to see in person that you cannot leave this Earth without seeing?
I know I have several, but off the top of my head here is my list, IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE:
1. Jaguar XJ220 and Bugatti EB110
2. McLaren F1
3. Bugatti Veyron
4. Ferrari Enzo
Over to you guys....
Was just browsing Bing images to get some ideas of exotics I may be missing, but it seems my list is pretty much accurate. All the rest I can do with or without, but I came across this picture, I know you may be thinking whats the big deal, but I always found these to be really cool. Its so 90's.
For the record I have seen both model Vectors at the NY Auto Show many years ago. Can you remember the W8 with the American flag paint scheme. I never liked it, very tacky and I always thought the shape of the car looked like a shark of sorts. I prefer the Vector above, although I cant recall which model it is.

Cizeta V16T for me, never seen one but always wanted to.
Interesting, i've never even heard of this let alone see one, is it a kit car? It sort of looks like a mix between a Diablo and a Testarossa doesnt it? Very odd head lights, I wonder if you could just open one pair at a time? 
AWESOME REAR END! I LOVE IT!
This car is bad ass!!! Thank you for introducing it to me! What engine does it run?
Pretty decent looking interior. What year are this car? It screams 90's! But the interior seems more up to date than the 90's.

Amazingly I can't think of any of note apart from super exotics like Cizetas or Vectors, I've even seen an Edonis! I guess I've been quite lucky. That and I go to a lot of motoring events and nice 'car focused' areas.
Strangely enough though I've only just recently seen an EB110 for the first time, a white one while I was stood at the side of the A11 next to my broken 928!

Bad timing mixed with good timing I guess. Strangely enough though I've only just recently seen an EB110 for the first time, a white one while I was stood at the side of the A11 next to my broken 928!
I cant even imagine an EB110 in white. The classic blue is etched in my head. How did it look to you? Did it seem dated?ESOG said:

It looked dated but not in a bad way, a bit like a particularly memorable concept car. It looked as exotic as when it was new, and the white actually really suited it!

On the road I've seen, F40's, an Enzo, a 959, a 930 Flatnose, an EB110 and a Supersport, McLaren F1 and I've also seen a Longtail, McLaren P1, LP640, Superleggera, SLR, Countach, Miura (I've been driven in one) and the usual more common Porsches, Ferrari's and Lamborghini's etc.
I've seen an F50 in a showroom as well as an Aventador.
However I've yet to see, whether on the road or in a showroom, a Carrera GT, a Veyron, a Spyker or a Koenigsegg.

Interesting, i've never even heard of this let alone see one, is it a kit car? Nope, just a very rare piece of Italian exotica that was drawn up by the same guy who did the Diablo. The company was founded by some bloke and his musician mate, and still is going today, IIRC.

Styled by same guy, no idea.

Two lamborgini Urraco V8s mated together, mounted across the car, hence the wide rear.

90's by design, IIRC they can be made to order still.
