Out of all of the cars in the world, which one would you consider to be your dream car? Feel free to post pictures but remember not to steal other people's bandwidth. Yes, you may choose more than one car if you wish. Talk about it here.

I own a car right now, a Holden Barina. I think it is a 1994 Model. It's a great little car and it saves a lot of fuel compared to other cars.

As for a dream car, one that I would love to have is a Porsche Boxster. They are a beautiful car and would love to cruise around the streets in one of them!

The only Porche I dont like is Boxter lol

Well, my dream car is the little brother of Formula 1, no I'm not kidding.
It is built by the same Carbon Fibre they use in the sport, the lightest V8 engine ever built in a road car (with a supercharger) and it features a lot of other stuff from Formula 1. ^_^

Behold the might of the McLaren Mercedes SLR!
A teamwork between McLaren F1 (the F1 team), Mercedes and AMG (Mercedes official styling/tuning company which also makes Mercedes engines for every motorsport they participate in.)

Inspired by the '55 300 SL which is also known as The Gullwing and The Widowmaker. It attained the name Gullwing due to it's doors that goes up and down like a Seagulls wings and the name Widowmaker... Well it was and still is a dangerous car to drive, it was the fastest sports car ever built at the time and that is the legacy of the SLR.

SLR is an abbrevation for "Super-Licht Rennsport" which means "Super-light Racing" in English.

Enough blah blah, lets see what this baby racer can do.

Specs:
Engine: 5,5 Ltr. Quad Supercharged V8 AMG engine
Power: 620+ BHP (460+ KW) @ 6500 rpm
Torque: 780 Nm (575 ft·lbf) torque @ 3250 - 5000 rpm
Brakes: Carbon Ceramic, used in Formula One. These babies can endure 1000+ degrees Celcius and will brake the car harder than other cars in it's class. Twice as fast as any Porche actually.

The beauty part...

PERFORMANCE:
0-100 KMH (0-60MPH) 3,8 seconds
0-200 KMH (125 MPH) 10,6 seconds
0-300 KMH (200 MPH) 28,8 seconds

That is unholy fast!
And it goes past 330 KMH before ending at a top speed at 334 KMH (210 MPH)

From Wiki and the BBC car show Top Gear...

The SLR has been praised for many of its features. It is extremely fast, yet is comfortable and reliable enough that the car can be categorised as more of a "grand touring" car than a typical "supercar" (e.g. Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo Ferrari), supercars often being known for their brutality in everyday driving as well as a common lack of reliability. Jeremy Clarkson has said "You can cruise to the Nürburgring listening to Terry Wogan, do a mindblowing lap, and cruise back listening to Ken Bruce."

:D

EDIT: What am I thinking??? PIXX!!!!!!!

Power, beauty, class and performance, this car is an engeneering piece of art just like the 300 SL was 50 years ago.

I don't know much about cars, but I do know that my dream car will have to run on hydrogen. Maybe preferably shaped like a Toyota Camery. It would be awesome if that were true. Maybe in the future, hydrogen powered cars will finally catch.

Untill that day, I'll have to go with either the Camery or Prius from Toyota.

If I could have any car I would have a rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
For me it balances a look I like with a good amount of grunt and is highly modifiable. I would probably have it painted a pearlescent black with an ungodly amount of modifications giving it my own unique look. And I think I'd use red neon wherever applicable, and as it would not be for competitive racing I would leave the weighty things such as passenger seats in so I could drive around with my mates. I'd like that setup with a nice comfortable interior and a good quality sound system. And one optimised for audio quality rather than an over loud 'thump thump'. Wink

My dream car is the one I currently own. It is so nice. I liked my old car well enough but this time it's love...*cough* I'm not much of a car person though, and of course this is just my opinion.

So yeah, my car. It's a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT, silver, full package. It is an absolute dream to drive and it even looks like a race car. It is awesome.
