    Try racing cars. I can think of lots of them, but the BRM V16 stands out. Or did you mean just production cars?

    What about the Chrysler Four-Twelve? That's brutal. If you can find one, that is. Or maybe the Merc CLK-GTR.

    tourbillon if you want to see a Zonda, an Enzo, a murcielago, an F50 and a 512M in the flesh all at the same time,
    head down to orchard road in singapore and get a cab (5 sdg each way) and go to number 5 riddely park. it's all there
    also the yellow roadster goes up to the F1 circut in KL every year for wheels asia's magazine event there and it can be seen around the mandrin and hilton hotels alot....
    just so you know
    and Rojh, thats prettymuch happened to me
    i saw it and thought it was ugly then i read the TG article and i started liking it and aquired the look. then waited a year to see it in the flesh and got my mind blown by it

    I love the Zonda. It's an incredible handler, has an incredible sound, is just so powerful, and combines what for me, is the best looks ever, of elegance, and aggression, into a mix that is just STUNNING.

    actually 325 K for the C12S 7.3

    The more I look at the car, the more I actually hate it... That's in photos. Wonder whether I would change my mind if I saw it in real, eh?

    errr..... i think the C12 S was the replacement of the C12, so technically you can't buy a C12 brand new now.

    CLK GTR don't sound that good. F50 with Tubi that's what you need to hear!

    Didn't like it at first, but now I think it's an amazing car. Good looks (there are better), very nice interior and a great noise. The performance is great aswell.

    The Zonda is a cracking car. It's exactly what a supercar should be: threatening; raw; stupidly pricey. And it's exquisitly detailing too, the interior is gorgeous with all it's little leather toggles and machining, and the carbon fibre work is just stunning. I reckon a truly great supercar should have loads more to it than first appears in, say, a magazine photo. It should have the kind of obsessive details that you can only see and feel when you meet the thing. Stuff like the little carbon fibre lip on the front wing of the Enzo (that connects gap in the middle on the 'bumber'), the softness and stitching of the leather in a Phantom and most important of all, should have a kind of aura about it - a grandeur - regardless of badge, engine or history. The Pagani has tonnes of that and that, i think, makes it a great supercar.

    From a purely subjective point of view I love the thing. I like the cockpit forward, big arsed look. Although I must agree that the back end does look a little clumsy in photos, it works much better in context with the size of the thing (which is very small). I saw a C12S at Silverstone not long ago and it looked fantastic. I just wish people would buy them in a colour other than silver!

    Possibly a fact: Apparently Pagani made a one-off Zonda for the owner of a carpet factory (or something weird like that) who funded the car. It was naked carbon fibre so all the panels had to be hand laid so that the weave joined up across shutlines (!) and didn't look wonky on curves. Because of those extra man hours the car cost an extra £100,000 or-so to make. This could be bollocks, but I didn't make it up.
