Default Which of these future supercars would you choose?

These cars will hit the showrooms in the next year or two. All are about the same hp wise and probably will be a very fun comparison in road tests.


I personally choose the 458 italia over all of these other supercars.

If money is not a problem, Reveton or Enzo. But realistic, Murci LP670 is my choice.

that's a really wide range of car, from engine size to price. it's not really a good comparison imho. if money is no issue then i would have chosen something not on this list at all

Why would you want that when you could get a GTR?

I think I would get the Ferrari and a GTR, flatten the 458 with a steam roller and use it to pave my driveway so everyday I could say that I drove all over the Ferrari with my God destroying, earth shattering, universe imploding GTR

Having some experience with supercars, I'd take a Porsche over almost anything. They're well rounded and polite when you need them to be, and ***** to the wall fun at your command. Service isn't a killer and it seems like the people that work for Porsche are true enthusiasts.

Other than the Porsche 998 Turbo those cars are all about the same price and engine size. I threw the 998 Turbo in there because even with a smaller engine that car could hang with the V10s and V12s as its predecessor did.
