      the SLR McLaren has been my all time favourite car ever since it debuted at Geneva. It still looks spectacular and that noise is a gift from God. I would daily drive tf out of this and i won't get tired of hearing that rumble. Played the car on Need For Speed Most Wanted, it was my favourite car in the game, i was absolutely obsessed with it and still am.

      Their v12's don't sound that good. But what does sound great is their v10's. Lambo V10 sound is my second favorite sounding v10 (my most is the 2013 srt viper v10).

      It's value hasn't appreciated like any Ferrari which I think is a good thing because it still means you can grab one before everyone refuses to sell these. Still a good time to buy and enjoy it lol, not like it's delicate. The engine and trans is carried over from the SL55/E55 which is already mostly reliable, only that it's been tuned for more power. 👌

Shelby cobra, Eleanor, 1971 cuda, even cars made over seas looked better. I personal favorite car would have to be a 1967 Chevy Impala 4 door in either a light blue, black, or a very deep blue.

    The most impressive thing about a car that is this powerful and fast is that it´s still easy to drive when you don´t want to go fast.
    Unlike many other super cars where they´ve lost too much weight at the cost of noise, and a clutch that´s not that easy to handle.
    It´s not hard to build a fast car, but to build a car like this takes some real skill.
