Just to tell you the truth, he car that's faster than all the cars you ever heard is the Koenigsegg CCX, This is not a joke, this is real...
You're kinda obsessed with top speeds, aren't you?

The fastest car in the world is the SSC Aero with 410 km/h.
And stop talking about that Alar. Nobody ever saw it. It's just a concept, just a car that Lamborghini wanted to build.

Is it me or is half your list based on concepts that never made it into production?

- GT90
- Alar
- Embolado
- ME 4 Twelve
- M11B

All are concepts that haven't gone into production, some of which didn't even get beyond the stage of being a drawing, and where noting more then a Idea on a piece of paper.
The only recent Lamborghini concept that got pretty far was the Cala, it had 2 fully functional prototypes, but at the end got cancelled (to bad IMO it had the potential to become a very nice car)
Ooh there is a noticeble difference between the normal Murciélago en the Murciélago LP640

IMO a true exotic should be utterly useless in almost anything practical.
And I think Lamborghini is one of the few car builders that does that, or at least did that before Audi got their hands on it, now they don't break down as often anymore, and they got more practical.... ze zgermans are always to practical....

You are right TheStig, My list contained some concepts, but still not the half, :wink:
But what my point is that concepts are more like exotics, not in the look, But some exotics are faster than the concepts, and this is so rare, and most concepts are faster than exotics, this is my thought, and thanks TheStig for your discussion, this could be usefull, and if you have an disagreement about what i posted, so post in and inform me please. :wink:
And go straight forward for posting in here. :D

All I can say is...No Bugatti Veyron URLs my left nut....you obviously didn't "research" too much into that car did you? Or is it just because you failed to prove that apart from the SSC and possibly the CCXR there's no car faster than the Veyron? Do you even know that much about the car?

From what I can see, I don't know about y'all, but Sharpernor is basically posting on impulse. Kind of a giveaway actually; a topic about favourite exotic has turned into a topic of exotics' top speeds. :P

You see Andre_online, I just had a mistake in my research and now members change the topic from your favourite Exotic to Exotics top speed, And now people think that i am stupid, especially Koenigsegg_rox seems to feel that i am not smart enough to know which one is faster and which one is not, I don't know why all the members who meet me feel that i am stupid, i mean, iam not.

And i apologise for the staff members because of my signature being too big
Sharpenor wrote:Right, back to topic, now who knows saleen S7's top speed?
Who knows the lamborghini alar's top speed?

I suppose I had better pander to the "exotic" term just to get the thread back on track. I'll have a RuF CTR3, please. Built to my exacty specifications.

I can't say that K_Rox is wrong about you.

You obviously haven't done your research, and it's blatantly written in all your posts, quoted by yours sincerely K_Rox. You wanna talk about speed? Do you even know that a heavily performance-modified Toyota Supra can be as fast, if not faster, than a Lamborghini Gallardo?

Are you sure of that Taz, Any car could faster than the other, a Mclaren could be faster than a bugatti, and a Ferrari spider could be faster than a Pagani Zonda, But the whole thing gets different when i am talking about STOCK cars, You see the difference guys, But you are still right about the heavy performance cars!

If you put The Stig behind a BMW Isetta and you behind a Mclaren F1, and challenged each other 2 laps around Mondello, Who do you think will be faster?

None of you guys (whose posts I've seen) have factored weight into handling at all. Between a Bugatti and a MINI Cooper at like Ebisu or somewhere, the Bugatti will have a lot of trouble - the Bugatti is much heavier. That's why the Ascari A10 stomped many of the other cars on the Top Gear Power Lap board - it is a dedicated race car with several hundred pounds shaved off compared to many street-legal vehicles.

I did. I'd forward that the RuF CTR3 would be easily as fast as an A10 around the Top Gear Power Circuit. Power to weight ratio of 550bhp/tonne
