Well after looking through the other thread regarding the Supercar Showdown, it got me thinking what is the greatest supercar ?

Now we all know the main contenders, but i'm interested to know what peoples choices on this are and your reasons behind it, it doesn't have to be the best looking or even the fastest,but just has to tick all the boxes of what a supercar is all about.

I'll start

Now its a tough choice because people will have many opinions on what makes a great supercar, for me however there is only one the Ferrari F40, first car to go over 200 mph back in 87, looks bonkers, sounds the Korean meatballs and drives like a true supercar should.

He never said he's driven one...

I would probably agree with an F40 from what I can think of at the moment.

1) It's fuck ugly
2) Looks alone cannot make it the greatest super car.

Better luck next time :y:

Before I saw the picture in the OP, I had the F40 in my head, so I agree.

Others? TVR Cerbera/Griffith, Audi R8, 911 turbo (964 Bad Boys shape)

Your both looking at the wrong car. Aston dont do ugly!!!!!

And as for looks alone im sure it must have a v12 or something stupid??
They cost 1.2 million so it better.....

*You're

V12 doesn't mean it's an amazing super car either. The old BMW 750 had a V12.. Does that make it the best super car ever built? :S

No obviously not. But from the way you said it its as if it had a 1.2 engine.
My point was that as well as being the best looking itll move like shit of a shovel.
Doesnt it have to be fast to be classed a super car anyway??

Viper
15th August 2011, 13:58
Yeah I would say has to be fast but to be classed as the greatest super car I would say it needs more than speed and good looks (or lack thereof in the case of the one-77)

My childhood dream car, well, that and the F40. The batshit crazy centre seat was god-like to my infant mind.

When you can spell I will consider your opinion ;)

I can believe it or not. I cba checking everything at work. I shouldnt be on here so just flick it on and off as fast as possible! My bad!

If i told you the sky was blue you would still disagree. :wall:

A poll seems fair to me. Surely somebody else on here must like it.

We all drive bloody saxos what does that say for our standards?

personally think it's pig ugly, but for a lot of people it will always be iconic..

classic 911, just love old 'super cars' rather than these new ones, so much more character

Greatest supercar? I' probably go with the McLaren F1 for being a true pioneer at it's launch, and raised the bar for hypercars to come.
