 The
McLaren F1 is the fastest street legal production car ever. First produced
in 1993 in England it blew away the competition at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
race. The unique design allows a central driving position with one passenger
on each side. The body is composed of an ultra light and super strong carbon
fiber molding. |

 This
car was dramatic in its 1993 debut by claiming to be the fastest production
car in the world at 218mph. But the record was short lived when the McLaren
F-1 rolled into town shortly after. The legendary Bugatti name could do
nothing to sell these magnificant supercars and save the company from financial
collapse until Audi bought the brand along with Lamborghini. |

 Probably
the most successful supercar ever made. Every single F-50 was sold however
they were originally only available for lease to VIP ferrari customers for
2 years at around half a million dollars. This car revolutionisted the design
of supercars with its outrageous yet functional wings and scoops. In fact
this car has enough downforce to drive upside down at top speed. |

 In
1998 Mercedes had decided to enter into the 24 hour of Le mans with this
stunning racecar based on the styling of the CLK430. This car was also ready
to be driven on country roads if you could find a state allowing it of course.
This is a 1.5 million dollar dream machine. The only reason it is not higher
on the list is because it might not be available to the general public. |

The
Jaguar XJ220 began as a prototype in 1988 with a 500hp V-12 and all wheel
drive drivetrain. By the time it entered production in 1993 the engine
was downsized to a 3.5 liter V-6 but it delivered just as good performance.
But few that ordered were less than thrilled to learn the cars they ordered
lost the V-12 and all wheel drive. Only 20 were ever built and jaguar
lost a lot of money by producing this super car. It was a short lived
venture overshadowed by its rivals.
