@vitorio, definitely the GTC4 over that Aston abomination for me.

On a completely different level, and I might well be on my own with this one, but always thought the Jag (Mondeo) X-Type estate looked good:

Hardly car porn admittedly, but neither is much of the stuff posted on here IMHO!

I don't disagree. It looks much better than the saloon which is very peculiar from the back. I might even have bought one if I could have found one in a nice dark colour without the chrome. Sadly most of those on the market had were pensioner spec with the full shiny tat package and an added cat/bottle opener thing on the bonnet.

It’s this one for me.

I saw one of them driving around the Amsterdam ring road a couple of years ago. It sounded rather fruity too.

The boot is rather weird - the floor of it is a lot higher than you'd expect - whether it has storage space beneath it I'm not sure.

I want another estate car now.

I had one of those Astons pass me on the M5 near Bristol. It looked epic. The photos don't do it justice.

The ultimate audi RS-wagon in my mind, id lose the betsafe sponsoring, but the razzle dazzle gets to stay

Maybe this one ABT

The opening is so narrow too, I doubt it really offers much practicality over the coupe version but it just looks so much cooler! I’d love to have seen one, I imagine they look truly special on the roads. And it’s always a treat to hear one of those Aston V12s!

It’s all a bit speed boaty back there. Oh I need one!

A trio of italian hypercars, which one would you have?

 

[alfaitalia]

Like there is really a choice??? The F40 of course....a true classic and a proper drives car too, not hobbled by electronics or unnecessary weight and gizmos .....although its often said about other cars, the F40 really is a "race car for the road".
Obviously the fact that its the only one I've ever driven or likely to drive (a wealthy friend of my dad had one for about a year back in the day....even he struggled to afford to run it even though he now has three Lambos!).....has no bearing on my decision!!!

 

[lussoman]

Hmmm.
Probably the F40, because it looks like a Ferrari. The F50 is ugly, the Enzo looks like a kit car.

 

[vitorio]

@alfaitalia I wholeheartedly agree, i was originally going to post just the F40, but felt like doen a keithy style trio

Mind you, i wouldnt mind having a drive in an F50, it might be ugly looking, but that F1 derived V12 just behind your spine must be quite the sensation.

 

[LiamBates]

I’m going to upset the balance and go F50. It’s perhaps even more of a racer for the road than the F40 was, since it came with an actual F1 engine. And I know most people prefer the clean looks of the F40, but it’s the F50 all day for me there too.

Am I allowed to be ornery and say none of them really do much for me?

I would pick the F40 though, because it is unarguably legendary in a way which I think neither of the others can match.

Is that a "im not a ferrari guy" thing, or are these just the wrong ones?

If we want to make the choice a bit more challenging, at least for me, how about this one?

 

[alfaitalia]

288 GT0....nice, rare over 400 horses and very expensive....especially as it looks so much like a cooking 328 GTB!

 

[bazza]

I guess probably the former, although there are some I like. Daytona, Dino. The one you picture I could bring myself to like.

Actually, I suppose it might be more that hypercars don't do it for me. I'm much more of a GT guy. I feel like, in their quest for performance above everything, they lose something of the aesthetic of 'car'.

 

[lussoman]

The one in the last pic looks like the type of Ferrari where you'd need the gold medallion and unbuttoned shirt to complete the look. And possibly facial hair a la Magnum.

 

[keithyboy]

I'm more of a GT car man too but the 288GTO and F40 are the only cars of this type that genuinely float my boat. They are both purposeful in a way others aren't.

The F50 looks like they were told to remove the F40's sharp edges to make it safe for children. The Enzo just doesn't do it for me.

 

[Gaz]

There is only one super/hypercar that needs consideration

 

[keithyboy]

When I said 288GTO and F40, I really meant the F1 too. Again it has purpose but the packaging is incredible. On the rare occasions I've seen one I'm always struck by how tiny the seem.

 

[LiamBates]

The F1 will forever be the greatest for me. As a 90s boy I’ve got a lot of nostalgia for the cars of that period, and the F1 was top dog.
