A good friend of mine's old man has a nice collection of classic/supercars & his pride is his F40 ! ! !

When it goes down for servicing at that place by Brands in the summer I'm going with him in the F40 & he said he "might" let me drive it



That was until I took him for a spin in the cossie !

I'll get a couple pic's when I'm over there next !

Held together with green sealant, paint was so thin you could lick it off and it didn't come with any carpet or a stereo


Give me an enzo any day of the month

If I had the cash, I would buy a mclaren F1 over all the other super cars personally.

I dont think its possible to state what is "best" as a supercar, as its an emotive and subjective thing to decide based on your own personal preferences.

All the cars mentioned in this thread appeal to me in some way to varying extents though.

F40's all look like MR2's with bodykits

F40's are not the ultimate super car as they continued with the current thinking at that time.
The ultimate supercar for me is the all conquering McLaren F1 which redefined the supercar




And unlike the F40 does not look really dated a

Good comment, I agree, totally iconic supercar that pretty much everyone would love to own, but not the best supercar.

This does of course depend on what you personally define as a supercar, but imo it comes with a little more luxary than this
