11. I think it's a Ferrari with a round windscreen, due to the curvature of the upper line of the bonnet. That means it's not a very recent one, my guess is one from the seventies. It also has to be a front-engined car, as there's heat deterring material attached to it. My guess would be the 365 GTB/4, but the bonnet in the picture looks a bit short for that.
14. Ford Focus RS8?

P.S.: this one is damn hard, vansquish!

Bravo!!!
6 is the Aston Martin Project Vantage
11 is indeed the 365 GTB/4 Daytona but....
14 is not the RS8 - I actually typed out the appropriate number of spaces behind the "Focus" bit, I shall do it again with an additional hint, the it is an alpha-numeric combination.

Ford Focus _ _ _ _ _

I don't know any other Fords Focus that could be it. Is it one for the US market alone?

What do you mean with "but" in your comment for 11? Do I need to be more specific?

no no hehe...it was a "but" with reference to the Focus...it's a US market only car, there were only 3 of them ever built, they had a 304bhp, 2.0L I-4 Zetec engine turbocharged and intercooled (obviously). Oh yes...I nearly forgot...I think I said it before, but both 14 and 15 are the same car.

For another hint...this particular Focus was put head to head with RC45's favorite car around a racetrack and was deemed superior, even given its prototype status and $300,000 usd pricetag.

Bingo...it's the FR200! Nicely done sameerrao!

Here's the tally so far:
1 British Beast but not an Elise
2 done
3 Bonus car, if anyone gets it, extra goodies for you.
4 done
5 British Brute
6 done
7 done
8 done
9 done
10 done
11 done
12 done
13 British Ford
14 done
15 done
16 done
17 done
18 done
19 done
20 done
21 done

so I guess that means that only 1,3,5 and 13 are left, so here are some hints:

1 I'd say this one is a pretty KraZy propos1tion when it comes to cars.

3 Has a very similar name to another somewhat obscure car which has a chassis based on that of the EB110

5 Evildoers and all foes, beware!

13 That tuned exhaust purrs like a kitten, but when you get it out on the road, it digs its claws right into the tarmac.

#5 annoys the hell out of me - I have seen that car in some mag - I would guess it is a TVR Griffith (I think)

Well...it's not a Griffith, but you're on the right track, it's a British sportscar or GT. Take a closer look at the hints I posted, it'll help hehe.

You've made 1 far too easy now. Without looking at the picture I know it has to be the Ascari KZ1.

13. Ford Racing Puma?

...I think you should look farther up the list and see what other people have come up with Kz...9 is the Mclaren F1 exhaust headers and 21 is the same part of the Carrera GT. You need a make and model for each car. Good luck!
