Ascari A10 - Like A Banana, Only Prettier & Faster!


Not too many people know the Ascari. Ask anybody to name a few fast cars and they'll likely name Ferarri, Porsche and Bugatti. But Ascari is also in the fast car game!

It may be your style or it may not be... but even if you don't like yellow, you have to admit that those two black stripes across the hood make the car look totally bad-ass!

I wouldn't mind taking this car for a spin or two. I hear that not too many of them were produced. So getting my hands on one, even if I had the money, is going to be tough.

This car has a relatively light weight. That's good news for all you speedsters out there... it means the motor doesn't have to be as powerful as that of a heavier car, but it will still give you the same speed.

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - The Fastest Car In The World!


The Bugatti Veyron!!!

I'm always going to have a soft spot for this car no matter what. Not too long ago, I watched a documentary on Discovery where all the work behind the scenes was shown.

They showed how they made this bad boy's engine and I must say that I was nothing less than impressed. The Veyron's engine already sounds pretty good when it's under the hood of a Veyron and being driven at full speed...

But you should hear the engine once it's out in the open and being tested. This engine roars like a lion. Well actually, that's quite the understatement.

I am absolutely in love with the Veyron's design. The black and red makes it look totally mean. Vicious even.

This is the car of the previous decade according to Top Gear. Well... I'm saying it's the car of the whole 21st century!

Jaguar XJ220 - Pretty Sleek, But What's With The Color?


This is one of the oldest cars I've got on this blog. This Jaguar was manufactured from 1992 to 1994. Only 280 or so have ever been produced. It's a pretty rare car.

But the rarity of the car does not make me want it more. I do like the design... but I don't love it. I like the blue and chrome colors the best.

But what in god's name were they thinking when they also made the green edition. Cars should never be green. I once had a Hyundai Excel 1.3 that was also this color green. The only reason I bought it was because it was a steal. But I absolutely hated the color. And I still do.

McLaren MP4-12C - An Orange Fireball On Wheels!


The McLaren company really scored big with their F1 model. But that was over 15 years ago and up until 2011... they did not design and manufacture a car all by themselves.

But the MP3-12C has changed all that. And it's another great success. This car looks at least as awesome as their F1 model did back in the day.

This is a pretty solid design. The whole chassis just screams aerodynamics. Normally I do not like orange, but orange looks pretty good in this particular car.

The MP4-12C has a carbon fibre composite chassis. This is a very strong and light material. The lighter the chassis, the faster the car!
