There is nothing at all wrong with a 1000+ HP supercar, that's civil enough for everyday use.. granted you can afford the maintenance, fuel, and insurance. But if you can afford a Veyron, with it's volkwagen built w-16, you can afford that too.

mclaren f1.............still the fastest and hasnt changed in years......check it on you tube

The McLaren F1 is probably the most exotic of the exotics, and definitely one of the best looking. Contrary to popular belief, it does not have the top speed of the street legal production cars, sinc the Vector Avtech takes that honor at 249 MPH. However, with an incredible 0-60 time of just 3.4 seconds, it's definitely one of the fastest off the line. There are only a handful of these made each year, which is just as well, since with a price tag of $1,000,000 only a few people in the world can afford it. Currently there are only 7 in the U.S., and Ralph Lauren owns two of them, one of which he is selling. Anyone buyers? Another one is owned by a visitor name Justin and his father, who is an avid collector of exotics and classics, who I would love to becomes friends with! Can I have a ride? The most incredible stat about the McLaren F1 is that it accelerates from 0-150 mph in 12.8 seconds, or just slightly longer than the 911 takes to reach 100 mph! The F1 LM, or the Le Mans version, is the racing version of this fine automobile. According to a visitor name Chris, only 5 of these beauties were ever built, and all of them have already been bought, even with a price tag of well over $1M! The year F1 debuted it won every race it entered except for one (again, thanks to Chris for this info). The car is made of all carbon fibers and the door swing up and out, similar to the Lamborghini Countach. Definitely the crown jewel of any collection.

my apologies x you may be very well correct. fastest and quickest are not the same. my info may be slightly outdated.mclaren has been on top for so many years unchanged .a faster car was bound to happen

[irish]

The F1 GTR cars were built by McLaren cars LTD which is a subsidiary of the McLaren Formula One Team. At the time of its development, it was the most expensive, most powerful and fastest production car in the world.

Its twin turbo V-8 engine produces 1,183 horsepower and 1094 ft.-lbs, which put it in the Guinness World Records with it's top speed of slighly over 255 miles per hour It is nice to see an American made car show those Germans and Italians whos boss

i saw that to but i was under the impression that was in 2007. im not sure about 2008.................when it comes down to it even if you could afford it you probably couldnt attain it.......even the enzo you are screen tested before it is even built for you which would be highly doubtful. you cant even buy these cars from previous owners seeing as most of these cars are sold with a clause stating that they can only be bought back by the manifacturer and in extreme cases only sold back by permission of the manifacterer. most folks even with the available funds would be more than hard pressed to ever pinkslip one. but they are amazing cars.
