I saw a Zonda sitting outside the casio in Monte Carlo.
It was unbelivable the cars parked out the front. I would have taken any car parked out front. Ferrari's, Rolls, Mercs, etc. |

If I recall correctly the Buggatti Veyron is approx 850,000 UK pounds, making it approx $2,000,0000.00 AUD.

Either way, you'll be happy to know both cars have engines with Ford bloodlines. So gotta be happy with that.

Out of that list... Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. I've wanted one of those since they were announced as a concept.
Not in the list... Bughatti Veyron. *drool*

Those stats have some awesome inaccuracies... now I'll be a bit of a stats-geek and correct them...
Maybach 57 S = 603bhp, not 612. Carrera GT = 603bhp, not 605 and 3.4 to 100km/h, not 3.9. Mercedes-McLaren SLR = 616bhp, not 617. Koenigsegg CCR = 3.0 to 100km/h, not 3.2 Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3 = 555bhp, not 602. Which would I take? The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. It's the fastest car there, top speed of 248mph to the next car's, CCR's 242mph, hits 100km/h faster, is slower down the 1/4 though, but two out of three is good. Plus the engine is a 7.0 TT V8 against a 4.7 S/C V8, and CCR's seem to break down alot (so say many, many testers who've had them stop working during testing). Plus it looks the best.

Does anyone have any info on the Maybach excelero?? Was just a concept car, but if were to ever be made into production, claimed it would cost around the $8,000,000 mark. I've got the article somewere, don't know how true it is tho as it sounded a bit unrealistic...
