I know you can get bottles of coke bigger than the capacity of its little 2lt v6, but at 987 bhp it aint rice!

Ahh you beat me to it mate....THE BEST SUPERCAR OF ALL TIME!!...PERIOD (sorry I feel this is worth shouting about)

Please please listen to this machine here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we3fqKKHTRc then come back and tell me it's not the hottest sounding V8 on the planet.

It's pure (modern) hotrod with all the creature comforts, the thunderous side exhausts, that addictive blower whine, the beautiful design, the "gullwing" doors...I love it!! (just as much as I luv the Ford GT of course ;))

Here's another favourite of mine, the AMG E63 (507bhp). I like to call this one "the muscle car that wears a tux" :

Okay, here's a few more for your listening pleasure...btw, the V10 Beemer sounds good at 8200rpm, but it also sounds like a diesel at idle.

SLR revving...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmxGE...eature=related

Some light work on the Autobahn...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBxdYiSQ0Mg

SLR drive-by...
http://video.google.com.au/videoplay...arch&plindex=8

SLR drive-by again...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74MzT...eature=related

And again at 200mph...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeTFU...eature=related

That should do for now ...hope this isn't considered off topic.

They are really plugging the design side, but with every exterior panel replaced from the LP640 except the mirrors. The roof and doors are aluminium, the rest is carbon fibre. Fins on the wheels to cool the brakes. More downforce with the same drag. Minor performance tweaks, but good ones none the less... I would have bought one, but they didn't have any RH drive

I believe that's a Caparo T1...apparently needs some more R&D.

The engine catches on fire, the throttle sticks and the suspension needs to be strengthened or something...watch the 5th episode of Top Gear(Season 10) for more info.
