[enzo_17]

thank´s

Surely you know that already if you're that big a car fan?

It's the McLaren F1, the purest expression of a car, possibly ever.

One of the fastest cars ever; bespoke naturally aspirated V12; as much load space as a 5 Series; timeless design (it seems); unique driving position; one more passenger than any other sports car; totally unrestrained by 'corporate pressures' and there's only a hundred of them.

What more do you want?!

I love how you make the decision for all of us, lol.

Although I'm sooo tempted to agree with Kiplings choice, I'd have to say the Lotus Elise is my pick. Fast, fun, affordable... it's all there in a car that is pure enjoyment at it's finest.

I agree 100%. There isn't anything else that captures the essence of speed and drivability. It is an all around car. Carry your groceries, then a minute later turn into one of the fastest cars ever made.

Agreed but this seems like an impossible question since although the McLaren F1 is certainly designed so it could be used daily it is way to valuable. In that case I think the best car that I could use every day would be current M3 with a 6-speed.

I totally, whole-heartedly, extensively and completely agree.

Mclaren F1. no other car in the world is as pure(without compromise) in its design and engineering.

Its so hard to choose, i think the F40 would be up there too...along with the Elise...the F430 is sussposed to be amazing...NSX...Its really too hard to choose.

It depends on what a person's definition of "best" is. Example, if your into top speed, then the Veyron will be your best, handling then the Elise or Noble ect.

lol or tire walls...

We all know if we're speaking in terms of best nothing is worth to be seen with the Range Rover. A car so beautiful it was displayed in the Louvre with the Mona Lisa. A car so capable it's the only car to cross some jungle in the northern area of south america (sry the name elludes me now). A car so luxurious it could be a 5 star hotel. Get the point??

Correct. In the end the best car ever comes down to a person's personal opinion.

Also the only way you could do something like this is if you split the cars up into groups.

I.e. the best car ever for handling, the best car ever for looks etc etc, but even then there will still be no definitive answer.

^^ Hmm, the Viper: one of the most important for the US car industry maybe. And you've got to love the spirit behind it.

Taking the resulting machine at face value, I do love the Elise; the F430 really is incredible in every way; Caterham 7 is probably my all time fave... but I just can't take my mind of the completeness of the F1.

Here's a good question... money aside (because that was always outside the F1 remit), can you think of some down points of it?

I can think of a couple:

Getting in the driver's seat.. although I guess you'd get it right eventually.

I bet that central driving position makes overtaking a bit rubbish, but it would be the same wherever you drove it.

Err.....

You can't buy one?
