What does it matter how many of them are built...? A cars exclusivity may be a deciding factor in whether or not to buy a car in SOME peoples mind, but I would contend that for the true enthusiast it would more likely depend on the driving experience and enjoyment derived from pushing a sports car beyond normal limits. It is merely a sidenote that these cars of interest happen to be very expensive supercars and would naturally be produced in smaller numbers due to the smaller demand for them. Even if sales volume somehow played a role in your opinion of a car, may I once again direct your attention to the F40, over 1000 were produced yet they are still widely regarded as one of the best supercars of all time... What's more, I'm willing to bet that you'd still love to have one given the opportunity in spite of it relative "lack" of exclusivity...  |
how is it possible people seem to take a point so far beyond my comprehension...
ok; i'll try this more slowly.
first.
400-500 in a production run of 7-8 years is hardly what I call "a lot"
second.
in relation to "few hardcore enthusiasts"
there are far more S7's made then Zondas + Koenigseggs, so its in the hands of more then what is literally just a "few" hardcore enthusiasts.
third.
where on earth did i mention anything about the S7's exclusivity? Its a $500k + car... that automatically limits who can and cannot buy it.
fourth.
I will defend what I like about this car, but; considering its abilities, and goals, it doesn't have the fit and finish of its real competitors. And trust me, there is in fact a LOT that i like about this car. You will be hard pressed to find a more hardcore performance enthusiast.
Give me a message once you start driving cars that cost more then $100,000... perhaps then you will begin to understand that performance isn't everything, exclusivity isn't everything, pricetag isn't everything, and looks arent everything.
lastly.
The F40 is aimed strictly at being the most hardcore of road car experiences of its day. The S7 is somewhat, then aims at some sort of luxury; which it fails at... and considering its production numbers the car should be more finished.
