Macca F1 for me as well. I would love to sit in the middle of the car and drive. 240.1mph from a 75,000 mile old version... insane.

The RS200 evo was quoted in the GB or Records as 2.1 to 60


Having had a rethink about the thread title I think my answer is the Lotus Seven

Porsche 911 (preferably the GT's) just a evolved classic design.

Untouchable as the original supercar IMO.

Miura & F40 always stick out but nothing more lairy than the Countach.
