      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).

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. 👌

      I would have to disagree. There are cars that are 40, 50, 60 years old that look far better. This is my opinion but 1950 - 1971 had the best looking cars. 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 biggest factor here is launch control and the fact that tires got better in last years. Take a rolling start and the car is mental. It's pulling power still hangs with a lot of modern supercars, the ones who have 0-60 times of lows 3's even sub 3's.

    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.
