I have been a huge fan of the McLaren F1 since the very first rumors of this car came out around 1991. Designed and conceived from Formula One this car was the first production car to reach speeds of 240.1.
The features that I remember from the unveiling were the fact that it had three seats with the driver in the middle of the center of gravity, a gold foil liner for the engine to protect the cab from heat, and the V-12 BMW engine. Now there are many design facets that exist today that still make it look more modern that some of its competitors, but the neat thing about them is they are all functional in the overall design of the car.
Now the Bugatti is also a very attractive car and it out performs the base McLaren. But I think I still would want to get the McLaren just because it was the first Supercar that I really paid any attention to.

Shelby Ultimate Aero

Alternative vehicle's have been all the rage for years. What is stopping them, well oil of course. When your making a killing selling a product why would you want someone else to succeed.
Now if you go into their home and introduce something that could kill the oil industry for transportation, that takes some serious brass ....
"In conjunction with the release of its 2009 Ultimate Aero at the Abu Dhabi International Motor Show, Shelby SuperCars announced details of an electric version of this same car, due to be launched in the second half of this year. We hope the oil barons of Abu Dhabi took the news graciously, as Shelby's move seems kind of like walking into a convention of cigarette makers and announcing a cure for tobacco addiction."
