Meh. They are all so Meh.

Which one is the most mechanical, analog and least amount of flip ups and aero bits that ruin the shape?

Can I take a Singer Porsche instead for the same money?

Not sure at what point you go from exotic/super car to hyper car, but I find most of the hyper cars/higher end super cars to be ugly as fuck.

So assuming I had to keep and drive it (not flip it for $$) I would probably just get a regular exotic/super car. However if it qualifies I would go with the Ferrari SF90 spider mainly because it’s one of the better looking ones IMO.

Ive never been into hyper cars. Id probably go with a GT3RS or do a Singer style build on a 3.0csi or DB5.

A hypercar is only an exotic who forgot to take its Ritalin.

Not by any means a "hypercar" or even an exotic but I'd consider an Audi RS E-tron GT. I'd be doing my part having an EV but it's sure sexier looking than a Tesla IMHO. At least it looks and feels like a real car and not a stripped down appliance.

Performance-wise it's pretty much an exotic too. Does this interior look like an EV?? External bodywork speaks for itself.

The cost is within $150k which is not near what some of the true exotics cost either.

Either Huayra BC or Agera RS


Technically this is a One:1 but I'd go with the same spec

I'm very specific here.

Here are my two:

Lexus LFA:
This may not be a "hypercar".... but it's valued like one. The sounds it makes alone makes me have to change my pants. If I ever want to feel inspired, I just load up a youtube video of an LFA making noises.

Not a hypercar but I'd be content with a RUF Yellowbird.

If "money no object" extends to running costs.... well, I've always just wanted a TVR Tuscan.

There's one guy here (Cyn-BMW) that has all the money in the world. So, your question is not even a hypothetical for him. He is thinking about picking up a Czinger.

He may come back under another name. If he behaves the same he'll be easy to spot.
