This is my future car.. Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

.. i wish! Top speed 207mph/334km/h.. pretty nice! V8 Supercharged, naturally. 626 bhp.. what else.. quality car, not just looking nice. It has got very good ratings on driving abilities, it's a good car to drive fast too. It's relatively heavy 3897lb/1768kg, but I think that's only adding to it, because it has lots of power and it's good to drive, not a toy sports car.

Put an end to popups!

How the hell do you expect to take em on the street when they're sitting a half inch above the ground?

One pothole or rail crossing and those ground effects are toast.

Don't know about the other ones, but the Benz is ok. The only part that is close to the ground is the front spoiler, and even that has fair amount of distance to the ground. Adding the firm and tight suspencions will take care of it.

edit: notice the beautiful aerodynamic shapes in the back of this Benz.. it's just a piece of art. Also speeds up pretty nicely, form 0 to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds.. and it keeps on going. That's 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds, and I remebmer that it took from 0-200km/h 9.x seconds. Man, that's wild acceleration!

the French have significantly improved over the last years, German car producers are pretty concerned about their inceased competitiveness.

Even a '97 McLaren F1 would make mincemeat out of it (after dusting an Enzo)



btw.. is that a concept car like the 1000hp Cadillac, or will it actually see production?

It's officially the fastest production car in the world now, replacing the McLaren F1.

The Pagani Zonda is pretty powerful as well, but I like the Koenigsegg's sleeker design.

Hmmm.. it's indeed impressive, but basic stats shared suggest a McLaren would obliterate it on a track or conventional road. It's a really gorgeous and "powerful" piece of art claiming certain titles... the McLaren is simply an ultra tuned, top rounded racing machine.

They build a hell of a lot of American cars in Quebec. Not so many French ones...
