This week we were bombarded with a number of high performance concepts from prestigious automakers.

If we were to look at the cars that were introduced this week and given the change to own one outright (maintenance included), which would you pick?


Audi R8 Convertible


Lamborghini Reventon Roadster


McLaren MP4-12c


Mercedes SLS



Granted, this may seem unfair for the Lambo, but I am curious to see how things shake out.

 

The obvious choice would be the McLaren because it will easy out perform all of these other cars. However, I have to say that I am smitten with the design of the Mercedes. The R8 convertable simply seems like a good way to fvkk up the R8. The Lambo is kind of interesting, but its price is simply absurd.

 

If I was given the money to own one, it would be the Lambo. It's a $2 million car. The others are all in the $100-300k range. Do you want the big sack of money or the small one?

 

Definitely the Mac. Based on what I've read about the various companies, I suspect it'd be the most enjoyable driver's car of all these.

 

You arent given the money, you are just given the car, which you can't sell.



As for my choice I am going to have to go with the McLaren. It might not have the exterior zip of the SLS even, but I think the interior is gorgeous and a small displacement twin turbo V-8 gives me an F40 tingling sensation all over. Add in light weight and state of the art tech and you have a pretty damn nice combo.

 

That would be one big bag of quarters.



Probably the R8 - even though I'm not totally into the design as much as the SLS, right at this moment, I'm into the convertible experience.

Plus it would "blend" into my lifestyle the best. Cars like the Lambo would look ridiculous parked around here.

 

Mclaren, if it's anything like the old F1 it will be great.

 

I'll take that fake Honda concept that designer drew a few threads down with a 4.0 v8 that revs to 9k with 500 hp

 

I'm pretty sure the ultimate panty-dropper would be the Lambo, but for now I'm too much in love with the new SLS.

On a second thought, heck I don't care. I'll take any of those that comes in manual transmission(w/ a clutch pedal ).
Except for that R8.

And I'll take the flying dog/ dragon thing from the never ending story. We're talking about real cars here, man.
