[QUOTE="comp_atkins"] i'm gonna wrap body panels in leather? also. a customer buying a ferrari could be looking for the "race car for the streets" feel.. being that their racing cars make extensive use of cf, that's what a customer would want in their road car from them. Fightingfan

[QUOTE="comp_atkins"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]How does a covered engine bay need the look of carbon fiber though? This isn't the old ferrari look with the exposed/glass cover. Nobody will ever see it. And the kind of person that owns these cars typically don't ever go under the hood.

Back on the Ferrari subject...I still think the Testarossa is the quintessential iconic Ferrari at least in looks.

I'll give my input about the styling since everyone else is talking about it. Ferraris stopped being "beautiful" and "sexy" in the late 1960's (275 GTB *drool*). Through the couple "meh" decades of the '70's and '80's they emerged with more "class" into the '90's. Now they are developing what I call "cutting edge design". It isn't beautiful, it isn't sexy, and it isn't classy... but when I'm spending $300K on a car, I really don't care about how it looks, because it says "Ferrari" on it. Us plebs don't understand what it's like to actually OWN these cars. Very few who do care about their aesthetics or performance. They are status symbols built for the elite, despite also being high performance racing/driving machines. Ferrari doesn't care what we think of them, because we aren't paying for them.Zeviander

Personally, my pick would be a Nissan GTR, if I were trying to be more reasonable. This will be my first purchase once I win the lottery :P

Oh please you always riding the GTR's d*ck:P.

Maybe, I'm not entirely sure that's true. I feel like celebrities tend to ruin the demographic a bit and give off that feel since they buy these cars and are in the spotlight making big entrances and being flashy, thereby skewing the ownership. I mean seriously why does Kim Kardashian have a 458? And Akon can't even pronounce the name Gallardo properly.

Many wealthy non-celebrity people who own these cars often buy them because they've always dreamed of owning one or are seriously into cars. The most common car among millionaires is still a Toyota, so what that says to me is that rich people who aren't into cars still drive regular cars, and it's the rich people (who like most of us in this thread) are into cars, and they're the ones with the exotics.

[QUOTE="comp_atkins"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]I grew up in a relatively well off neighborhood, and everyone I knew with an "exotic" weather a sport car or a Bently, I would be shocked if they even knew where to refill the wiper fluid. I think you'd be surprised to find most people that own Ferrari's aren't gear heads. The neighbor down the street thought so little of his new Aston Martin, he parked it in the street while his Toyata got a spot in the garage! :lol:

My friend's mom has a GTR lmao, I found that out at school one day I was like WTFFFFF. His mom has a GTR and a Raptor rofl. I don't want to criticize the GTR, because seriously it's a tremendous car at a great price, but it's 0-60 is it's crowning achievement. Top speed wise it's not all that impressive, and I've heard the build quality isn't amazing. Some who've driven them also say they don't have that "wow" factor when you get behind the wheel, or see one on the street.

I want to make it clear that I do think the GTR is a great car, but people who buy supercars also want to get behind the wheel and feel lit up. I'm not sure the GTR always does, atleast compared to these ridiculous cars. I'm sure it feels awesome compared to a normal car. Of course the fact that's not some elite Italian brand does contribute to it's lower price, but it's not the only factor.

[QUOTE="comp_atkins"] maybe true generally. they guy i met who owns the gto ( and a 16M, and a 458, and an enzo ) confesses to not know much mechanically but is more than welcome to show his babies off. comp_atkins

Owns an Enzo??? -j*zzed in pants-

Oh wow, thats awesome. He's got some extra funds :P. I feel like if I had that wealth though, well first let me make it clear, I would spend it all on cars not gonna lie, but I'd probably buy varying brands, but then again I've never owned an exotic so maybe you fall in love with the one brand. I'd just want to experience as many different automakers as I could and what they have to offer.

They're sick trucks. Their mileage is probably terrible, then again, who gives a f*ck so is the mileage of all these exotic cars :P. Hell my car gets all of 12 mpg lol. If you really like your car and have the money it's totally worth the bad mpg imo.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="TacticalDesire"]

I think it looks different imo, but I really do like the Scion TC as far as cheap-average level cars go. It seems like it performs nicely for the price and looks pretty good too.

TacticalDesire

My mistake. It is relatively similar, but from the side the F12 is a lot longer looking. Imo it kind of resembles an Aston in that regard.

Here's a 2013 Vanquish

Looks to be a mix of the Vanquish and 8C Competizione to me.

Personally, my pick would be a Nissan GTR, if I were trying to be more reasonable. This will be my first purchase once I win the lottery :P

The GTR is definitely something. Other than the R8 (which is far more expensive), it's easily the best car that can pass both as good for your everyday life and if you just wanted to hit one of your local tracks.

I'd also add the Gallardo to that category. It can be a DD unlike it's older bros.
