Actually i think that you are saying the right thing, because anycar with a high performance should be expensive and at least it should be £75,000, this is the number i think it should be!steelsnake00 wrote:In my oppinion, an exotic is defined as a high performance car, generally mid-engined and rear or four wheel drive, with base price tag about £70,000 and a limited production run which means each vehicle is fairly exclusive.
Not exactly.. In my defense, I can name some for you.steelsnake00 wrote:In my oppinion, an exotic is defined as a high performance car, generally mid-engined and rear or four wheel drive, with base price tag about £70,000 and a limited production run which means each vehicle is fairly exclusive.

The Continental GT is, as the name suggests, a Grand Tourer. As, for that matter, are most Aston Martins (AM V8 being the obvious exception, which is in my oppinion more of a sports or high-performance car; and also, arguably the DB-S which is perhaps more of a supercar). As for Ferraris and Maseratis, they are a combination of of GT's and supercars.Andre_online wrote:There're a plenty of exotics out there which their engine bays are at the front. Ferrari already has 3 models with FR-based cars (excluding the older models), and so do the Bentley Continental GT series, Aston Martins and Maserati GranTurismo.
Wait...There is such a thing as a Lamborghini Alar? Just Wiki'd it and it's ugly as all hell...estimated top speed is 410km/h, but I wouldn't buy it. I'd much rather have the also never-released Cala. Certainly looks better...taz947 wrote:Sharpenor wrote:Right, back to topic, now who knows saleen S7's top speed?

The S7 Twin Turbo achieved a top speed of 248 mph (399 km/h) making it slower than the Veyron.
As for the Alar, that car is just a concept, it never went into production so we can't know what it can do.
Random thing: RedCarDriver didn't post in this topic.
I remembered hearing on Top Gear that it can go all the way to 250MPH (400KM/h), provided you have a long stretch of road to get a proof. As far as I know, no one has ever gone such lengths to test a car which has such speeds, let alone a Veyron.Sharpenor wrote:Check in any enyclopedia and check the veyron's top speed
I watched that episode, yes, when May tested it. But I still refuse to believe that he'd actually do that, not only because he is Captain Slow, but just for the sheer fact that it's a 'Veyron'. Call be gullible or naive, but I think that particular episode was heavy on production.boganbusman wrote:Um, Top Gear did actually verify the top speed on Volkswagen's high-speed test track in Germany. Manufacturers usually won't claim a top speed unless they tested it, Andre

Wow. That I didn't know. LOL! Thanks for the insight!boganbusman wrote:As for May, he may be Captain Slow but don't forget that he once received personal track-day driver training from Sir Jackie StewartHe can drive fast if he wants, and going in a straight line on a test track isn't exactly challenging.
I would think so too. But what if there's a case where the given space to do the test-run isn't long enough? Fifth Gear came upon this situation before while testing the Vanquish S.You also wrote:I just don't think they would fake something like that, because it would be of no benefit to them. I reckon they would get more publicity if the car failed to hit the claimed speed.

Not to mention that weather conditions affect a car's performance as well.Wikipedia on Alar wrote:The estimated top speed of the Alar is 254.2 MPH (410 km/h) and 0-60 MPH (100 km/h) is achievable in 3.6 Seconds.[3]
