This was actually my first dream car! It was love at first sight!
I literally grabbed my mag and the first page I opened was a double side picture (the silver with red interior, the only option IMO)!
After that the Murciélago took over in just the same way!
Even though my extreme feelings for this car is over, I don't know where to place it, It's a subzero for me.

Definitely cool, but far too retro to be subzero. Love those rear lights

Cool. I like the Alpina even more.
It's not the ultimate in driving but more in posing. Lately I saw a blond driving one and the combo looked absolutely stunning.

The Alpina is a poser mobile as it has an automoatic transmission. The Z8 is quite a capable sportscar. It did 8.15 on the 'Ring, that's quite good.

Cool for me. Like others said, it is definitely a classic looking car and will continue to look good years from now.

Exactly, not to mention it was around 100kg lighter than the E39 M5. As a result 0-60 in 4.6 seconds (EVO)
