What’s Your Supercar of Choice?

The Pagani Zonda Cinque

Supercars remain exactly that.  They’re out of reach of 99% of the population, they pollute too much in today’s modern ‘green’ times, they are noisy, occasionally unreliable and certainly unnecessary.  And yet, as car fans, we love them.

Of course, this love is for a variety of reasons.  For some, it’s the history.  To own a Ferrari is to own a piece of history.  To have a Lamborghini with the raging bull logo in your garage means that every day you take it out it’s an occasion.  It’s special.

So, what’s your choice?  For me, I’m with Richard Hammond on this one. I simply love the Pagani Zonda.  Whatever model it is, they’re like the new Lamborghini.  They are over the top, with a design that screams look at me.  Performance is said to be staggering.  A day in this car would be a dream come true.  They are also extremely rare.  On many motorway journeys I’ve seen Aston Martins, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches – but never a Zonda.

So, what’s your supercar of choice and why?  Do you, like Richard Hammond, want something that makes you feel 10 again?
