What would be your ultimate road car?
 
Leaving aside financial constraints, if you had to pick one, and one only, ultimate road car ( no rally cars or similar allowed) what would it be and why?

I'll start off with my choice, lots of reasons why I'd have this, but it's mostly down to the way it looks:

Bugatti veyron supersport.

Not because its the fastest, but because it does it so well, in comfort.

Dan80T 09-10-13 02:31 PM
Lamborghini Aventador. Yes please :ihih:

lefthooker 09-10-13 04:22 PM
Some great choices so far :tup:

john johnson 09-10-13 05:06 PM
Sport quatt or a t16 or 037 road car , possibly a 959

Coxy 09-10-13 05:37 PM
another one for the 037!

stuvy 09-10-13 06:02 PM
My old sierra sapphire cosworth but with 1040bhp instead of the messily
520bhp it had

And that Nissan is gay

john johnson 09-10-13 06:15 PM
Agreed ... Gay with pink knobs in it

How would your choice change if you could only have one car (free of charge) in the household, BUT you had to
insure it,
fuel it,
service it,
daily drive it
etc.
and keep it for five years
Hmm!

Yep.... I'd love to be an old fart in that.... Better than being an old fart in a car they can't drive because of their dickie hip, piles or whatever... The Aston is a classic British car, brand new....

john johnson 09-10-13 07:00 PM
Sorry ... Grumpy old farts car :o

Makes me miss my GTR, although mine was a little more tame with "only" 800bhp. Good for very low tens though...

+1 (but would need to have a careful look at the colour chart) :cool::cool:
- and I'd happily be labelled as an old fart! :nod:

It just oozes thoroughbred British engineering - a fantastic car :cool:

Those Mickey Thompson tyres are a fortune about £300 per tyre :yikes:

Nice to see it had a tax disc :nod::tup:

What engine and turbo setup were you using:D

I'm with Simmo. old fart maybe, but comfortable old fart.
I might even volunteer to deliver a new battery to Shuffled to rescue that polished white aRSe thingy while I run it in;)

Those ET Streets are awesome, the grip is phenomenal.

The car had to be taxed and tested to qualify for the street class that I ran in.

Engine was a 2.7 HKS block with a T88 turbo. Bit of a lag monster but pulled hard once it got going.

Hate to say it but the new Alpina D3 touring might just be the best looking estate ever, goes like stink (0-62 in 4.8) and still officially cracks 50mpg!

Good timing - just come onto pistonheads - http://www.pistonheads.com/news/defa...?storyId=28632

styler 10-10-13 02:34 PM
this would be my first choice i think, €2300 ish a year to tax here now!!!!!!!!!
