Only cars that I realistically expect to own soon. It's a toss up between the top two for my next car. The third would probably take a little more time to afford.

Audi RS6 Quattro 4.2 V8 Tiptronic Avant Plus

Clio Renault Sport 3.0 V6 24V Phase 2

Aston Martin DB9 6.0 V12

Sloomy is right in a certain point of view, the McLaren F1 does have a Mercedes Engine ;)

The actuual name is Mercedes McLaren F1 just the other way around which does make it kinda confusing in one such way 8) But Yes you are right on this one, the McLaren Mercedes F1 is indeed a Formula 1 car:

here a Model of it with it's actual name on the box:

and here the car it's self but a newer version of the MP4/12 this is the MP4/17 :)

I don't know what is wrong with you, but McLaren F1 has a BMW V12 engine, and the fact that McLaren nowdays works only with MB doesn't mean anything for an early ninities car. If you somehow love MB then you could chose between MB SLR or Pagani Zonda (MB V12) to adore.

As for me - SAAB, period.

Ok I do like a lot of cars. but I'm not going crazy about all of them, as my favorite cars except SAABs I could mention Caterhams CSR (which probably is still unavailable) and Bugatti EB110 SS

Chosen_One, you must be on a Saab newsletter, because even a lot of people professionnaly involved with Saabs are unaware of the new V6 :)

PS, actually I'm a car enthusiast, computers, and 3dfx is far behind ;)

Well Comrad....there is nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with you...

the McLaren F1 does have a MD engine my friend owns a model of it. BMW has nothing to do with MD and Mclaren ;D

here you can see that a new engine will be released (german)

Title: Re: What are your favorite Cars :)
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 02.05.05 at 00:01:02

well it has a 5L V8 engine with 368 bhp, a torque of 550 nm, 0-100 kph / 0-62 mph in 7 secs. and for the XR6 UTE 5.9 secs :-X it's much lighter and has a 4.3L V6 Turbo engine.

max speed is 270 kph for the XR8 and 240 kph for the XR6.

Title: Re: What are your favorite Cars :)
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 10.05.05 at 15:30:50

heh mine is powered by an whole different type, ATi's not so much produeced Radeon X800XT Platiunum Edition AGP ;)

it does FSAA T3 x6 that's equivilant to FSAA x18 when your above the 60 fps :) and man it looks sweet, the highest FSAA I've ever seen. FSAA x8 on a Voodoo5 6000 is nice but abit on the slow side, unless you use FSAA x4 you'll be fine. but FSAA x18 with AF x16 is a very L33T setting.

I would put the V5500 PCI USA Napalm head on my engine cap :)
