the McLaren Senna looks rather tasty and goes like stink
or
the La Ferrari -

tough call...

always loved the Bugatti`s and I don't think you would ever get tired of a 250mph+ car
Pagani would be up there on the list as well..

nothing old for me though, I think I would be disappointed with the speed, handling and reliability... all the classic cars I have owned have been utter sh1t and nothing but money pits ;D

Aventador sv for me but thats a dream. Realistically though my next car will be a Radical RXC v6.

If money wasn't an issue, I'd have a constantly changing collection. A bit of a cop out I know...

When I've been in the dream machine kind of things, a 675LT, F12, 911 Turbo in the last few months, a 911 GT2 a while ago, (nothing more exotic I'm afraid) the hairs don't go up on the back of my neck until I'm doing 100/120 mph. That is why, in the real world, I'm not sure much compares with an Atom. My car gets that reaction from me just selecting first to head off down the road; the clunk, the whine, the violence from the Sadev is better than Viagra, it is worth every single penny of the £22,000 it cost. A good friend has an 812 on order and I KNOW it won't be as exciting. I might love an F40, I'd enjoy the Atom more.

Although I’ve only had mine for a couple of months, I have to agree that the 3.5R fitted with the Sadev is a phenomenal machine... as are all Atoms and Nomads!

If money were no object, I would probably go for an Eagle Spyder GT, 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 and a Hennessey Venom F5 + an Ariel Hipercar of course.

4.0R

Hmm, no Sadev, reversing camera, bigger seats to fit your fat mate, labels on the switches so you don't have to remember what they're for, a little switch to turn the power down, Euro6 compliant, bigger boot, no supercharger, less helmet lift, bigger fuel tank, heavier, daytime running lights, a clock on the dash. I could go on. Not a lot there to make it more exciting.
I have no doubt, however, that should a 4R appear it will be very good indeed, but for now...
