I really like the new Aventador and the new Ferrari F12.

Thanks for the report Don!

And I don't see anything here that I imagine I would love more than the Ferrari F12 and Lamborghini Aventador. The new special Lamborghini and special La Ferrari are interesting to look at, but so far don't look beautiful in their photos. The special McLaren does look quite nice though.

If only the KTM X-Bow was available in the United States, that would pique my interest. Now that would be a cool car to own. Inclement weather worries me though, as it often doesn't fully rain but mists in San Francisco (as it does with many towns that are directly on the coast. These heavy mists are unpredictable, happen all year round, and are not indicated in weather reports.

I have to say, I thought almost every car shown was ugly as He**. Things are so over the top.... classic design is dead. Long live classic design.

Thanks for the report Don !

Those supercars are really going over the top lately ... now i wouldn't mind driving one if i could afford it :-) ... my preference would go to McLarens P1 but also Koenigsegg (with their Hundra) deserves my respect, what Christian Von Koenigsegg has acco...

....disappointed with the 4C. So stumpy and lacking in coherence. But not as disappointing as the welds in the 4th photo of the Lamborghini V-thingy. :-)

Haven't seen the 4C in the flesh yet ..

You spotted it? :-)

Kid's glue? or weld? :-)

Don't know what happened there ...

.... but i find it really awkward ... but then the car was probably built together with a serious deadline .... :-) They should have done better ... like maybe replacing the already 10 year old Gallardo ? Not that the Gallardo is a dated car (well, techni...
