    What's it going to be? LaFerrari or McLaren P1?

    Another lotto thread?

    I'd buy neither :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,430 ✭✭✭Ilik Urgee


    LaFerrari
    Voted the McClaren solely LaFerrari sounds like they're trying to make a manbag out of a car:rolleyes:


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,243 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    and M5 and R8


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,237 ✭✭✭✭djimi


    Neither would particularly interest me tbh. Id be on the first plane over to Japan to handpick every car Ive ever wanted to own, then Id buy a house with a garage big enough to hold them all!

    Personally Id prefer a R34 GTR Skyline over either of those.


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'd prefer an F40

    One Buggati Veyron please. (Provided its the Euromillions i've won)

    This too shall pass.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,520 ✭✭✭Tea 1000


    The problem is - you've won many millions. You want either of those cars, but can't decide... how the hell do you get a test drive in either to help you decide?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,793 ✭✭✭Red Kev


    I'd try to get a road legal Zonda R, if not that then a Pagani Huayra. I don't like the pics of the P1 for some reason, the original F1 looks way beter, the LaFerrari looks better but I could never live with the name.

    Along with that a 959 and an EVO III Integrale as daily drivers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    Neither.

    If I were in the market for a supercar I'd buy an R8.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,257 ✭✭✭deandean


    I'd buy a Nissan Leaf! Great car if you get it for free or buy it using lotto money!

    Then i'd get the CPU reprogrammed so that it pulls like a train but has a range of about 20 miles LOL

    [...]

    None of these. :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 523 ✭✭✭piston


    Neither. I'd be looking at classics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,226 ✭✭✭Stallingrad


    Surprisingly close vote. The P1 to my eyes looks too much like the Koreans take on a super car. The Ferrari could only ever be from one company so gets my vote.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,262 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    Neither of those two cars. i'll just have either an Aston Martin DB9 or an RS8 :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 585 ✭✭✭NobodyImportant


    Neither. Ever.

    Tasteless, crude looking over complicated for people in the middle east who wear too much gold.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,082 ✭✭✭bigtimecharlie


    e32 750. Pure Class.

    What's that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 482 ✭✭jimmy the car


    LaFerrari
    Picked the P1 only for the god awful name of the Ferrari, but I'd far rather a Porsche 918 or if Euro millions Ferrari 250 GT California.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 866 ✭✭✭renofan


    I would not for the life of me buy a modern supercar. They are all ugly and way over the top. Some look like skangermobiles for the rich!

    A Countach, F40, XJ 220, or older classics is where its at imo.

    Modern supercars look like skangermobiles and a Countach doesn't? :D

    I'm surprised at how many folk are dissing the Ferrari because of the name. If I owned one, I wouldn't give a crap if it was called the LaVomit. I'd only care what happens when I plant my boot on the right pedal. And I have a feeling that not one person here would be without a large grin on their face if they were in the passenger seat at that moment!! (After the surprised expression faded!!)

    None, Id buy a plane and get the fook out of this country

    Me I'd rent the plane.. then have a fully specced Audi (A)S8 waiting for me on the tarmac at the far end :)

    mid-80- early 90s Pontiac Trans-Am (KITT from Knight Rider but without the conversion I think) for the weekends..

    Probably upgrade my rusting 1992 Micra to a 1996 or 1997 model and save the rest for a rainy day.

    On a serious note it would have to be this

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭kupus


    Any mustang from 64-73......drool.....

    And as a daily the best sleeper car money can buy.... something like a lada riva with a V8 engine...
    Just to see the smirks of clowns sitting at a traffic light looking at your lada, and the big guffaw on your face when you leave them sitting!!



    cgi-frame-jeep-chevy-lada-shelby.jpg


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,223 ✭✭✭Nissan doctor


    I'd have neither, they are both just civic type R's for rich people.


    I think I'd have a collection of cars if the Euro millions came my way....none of which would be a mainstream super car.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,207 ✭✭✭EazyD


    Has to be a 250 GTO in Rosso Red, cool price tag of $16 million


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 806 ✭✭✭bonzos


    288 GTO any day over those two..

    After reading that, now I want to fit a Skoda Yeti with Golf R running gear...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    I'd probably keep it simple and buy a brand new Astra OPC or a Scirocco R, and use the rest of the cash on the increased insurance.

    2011-Volkswagen-Scirocco-R-2.jpg

    Ah feck it, get both.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,464 ✭✭✭FGR


    I'd have a Porsche Cayman S for my weekend car whilst a fully-specced Audi A4 would be my day to day runner.

    Every single option on the list would be ticked. -Especially- the options I'd never use just to remind myself about how loaded I am. :pac:

    sure just turn on the aircon, radio and full beams and youd have that no bother :pac:

    lotto money would be New F150 Lariat, E39 M5, E38 750iL , S65 AMG, 850csi , EVO X and a house with a garage big enough for all of them.

    lambo_veneno_1_big.jpg

    lambo_veneno_3_big.jpg

    I'd have to take the Lamborghini Veneno. The other choices are too sane.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,830 ✭✭✭RandomAccess


    Or is it a Hyundai.. hmm
