The Most Awesome Car Ever Made? (56k Warning)

In case you're suicidal

If you want speed then just get a bike. :P

I'm pretty sure that the caterham will beat out (nearly) every bike you can get. The power to weight ratio actually gets close to formula one cars.

I just looked up the power to weight ratio of a kawasaki ZZR1400 and it's 170 bhp to 235 kg, quite a bit lower then the caterham and that's without factoring in the weight of the driver. Are there any faster road legal bikes?

Suzuki Hayabusa 2008 onwards, 197bhp, 220kg.
Ducati 1098, 160bhp, 173kg, 0-60 less than 2.5secs, top speed around 180mph.

Trust me, once you get on a bike you never want to get off one. The thrill and power you get is insane, bending around corners, holding on for dear life, it's definately something you should experience in life. :P

SSC Ultimate Aero
One of the worlds fastes cars.

[QUOTE="CBR600-RR"]

[QUOTE="Infinite-Zr0"] Also you get more of a spence of speed on a bike. You'll feel like you're going faster on a bike going 30mph than you would in a car going 60mph

The Minority Report Lexus is the most awesome.

I don't care how fast it goes, I don't drive golf carts unless I'm golfing.

£87k they start at n the UK. No way will I ever be able to afford a car that expensive. Electric cars will not replace petrol and diesel cars at that price.

This deserves a mention too, shame ferarri are having **** year and look to be pulling out of F1 next year.

Saw these pictures for the first time of the Chevy Vette ZR1 in school today. I don't care who you are, or even what the specs are that engine is just beautiful.

I like the idea of the electric "sports car" but it lacks soul. Albeit these things and others soon to be like it are incredible strides forward in both technology and forward-thinking. But where is the sound of that throaty V8? The popping of a the valves open and closed with a huge lift cam shaft?

Not my cup of tea but I do appreciate it.

Check this out if you want a real electric sports car though:

Ultimate Aero EV from Shelby. 1000 HP and 10 minutes to fully charge it!

They said the same thing for this year with the standardized engines for all cars.

Ferrari is just saying, don't do this or we're out, and the FIA will do what they want, because letting Ferrari drop out would be suicide.

I'm not going to believe it until they provide evidence that they actually built it.

But if they accomplish what they say they will, it will change the world lol. Now I just want them to be able to make it feel like a normal car, and make it work with a 5-6 speed manual transmission....
