The ultimate Brittish supercar experience, both looks, and speed... pitty about the V12 not being there

That's one of the reasons why I've voted only Cool.

:bah:

Still, one of the greatest supercar of its time with the EB110, the F40 and the F1
and W8

easily subzero for me. i have always loved the looks of it and the fact that it rapes a Zonda in a drag race is just priceless

Looks real sleek - a proper head turner! Was the fastest, best handling supercar till the F1 came along. Negatives include: Poorly made with gear levers coming off, V6 instead of the promised V12.

Pretty cheap supercar to buy today. ~$200,000

Cool in my book.

Didn't like the looks when I first saw it, and don't like the looks now even more.

Looks like the shape of an egg stretched. And it doesn't even have the proper heart.

Uncool! :bah:

Uncool. Looks way to big in the flesh. Nice lines though.

Cool for me..

It has nice looks, and the performance is ok but, it could have been so much better with a V12 and some other stuff sadly..

Subzero for me. Smooth lines, though a little odd, fastest thing around the ring at its time. Down side is the V12 like many said, but the V6 isn't too bad either.
