Tiff also loves the 944 Turbo. He used to race them when they were new, and in the 80s epicode they did a few months back he talks about how much he misses the car. Now it can't compare to the stuff he drives on the show nowadays, but the fact that he has so much respect for the car says a lot IMO.

I know his favorite car of the 1980's is the Porsche 944T so it has to be one of his favorite of all time. The mclaren has to be one of his favorte supercars but I am unsure of on a day to day level. The ferrari 360 he has mentioned as being his favorite ferrari so it has to be up there along with the BMW M5 that always sees top end results from tiff.

Tiff has a BMW 540i and a Mercedes ML.
Is this for certain? And if it is....how old is this information?

In his "greatest car" segment he drove the modena, f40, and mclaren f1. Mclaren f1 was his favorite.

i guess ferrari 360 Modena and the ultimate Maclaren F1. Tiff´s review about maclaren was so cool, i liked his face while wide open throtle in the maclaren F1, so cool.

Me too, the Maclaren F1 is the best car ever, not the fastest of the world, but the best, handling, beauty and the whole car.

I recall him saying that if he could have any car it would be a Ferrari 360 Modena, Hardtop, Red, Proper Shifter, No F1 shift stuff.

It's great too find a site with Tiff fans, All that has been said is quite right but have any of you seen his DVD, Tiff Needel BURNING RUBBER?
If anyone recalls his Porsche GT1 review for a race care he will always take his Lister Storm. He has always gone for the Mc F1 but when ever he talks about Ferrari he is always upgrading to the current model, he goes for the improvements.
He wanted the 355 before he wanted the 360.
