As the title says - what's the nicest car you've seen in person?

For me I would have to say a carbon fiber Pagani Zonda F.

Runner ups include the Enzo and Veyron.

Veyron, outside hotel in Berlin
SLR722, in friend's building parkade here, London
Lamborghini Reventon, driving along Hyde Park, London
Pagani Zonda F, dealership on Park Lane, London

Ugliest car ever:
Kid from Dubai (looked to be around 23y/o) shipped his Murcielago (it had UAE plates) to London, and parked it in front of a club I go to. He had plastered the entire exterior in Burberry monogram. It was torrid.

What shop? Is it the blue one, the guy from Uplands?

Also all my cars I've seen were in Europe. Pagani at the Pagani factory, the Enzo at the Ferrari factory, and I've seen two Veyrons, one in Berlin, one in Munich.

Koenigsegg CCX on Oxford Street in London. looks better in person if thats possible.

Nightwalker

03-21-2009, 04:53 PM

On the street it's either the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren downtown Vancouver or Rolls Royce Phantom in Victoria. Have seen some Ferraris (360), a turbo Lotus Esprit and a Ford GT on the island as well.

Seen lots of amazing things in car collections and shows, but that's for on the street.

Saleen S7 TT Competition is probably the nicest car I've seen in Vancouver, but I have seen a Enzo here too.

03-21-2009, 06:59 PM

Meh, I've seen plenty of rare exotics and even though they're neat, I wouldn't say they're among the "nicest" cars I've seen in person.

Here's probably my favourite among cars I've seen in person:

Go to AUTOSHOW and you would see pretty much most of the ordinary exotics?

OR do you mean driven/sat in one?

I would have to agree with something like Lomac's choice. Nicest car I've sat it, and started etc would have to be a V12 Vanquish.

Lamborghini Reventon, driving along Hyde Park, London

+1 to the Reventon. I got passed while driving the streets of London in my rented Chevy Spark. That car looks like pure sex when its weaving recklessly through traffic.

Mmmm I've seen nearly every exotic there is except for Veyron, Zonda, and Koenigsegg.

My fave so far is a toss up between the Reventon and Dauer 962.

Treize, I think Revscene is about to become your very own fanclub.

03-22-2009, 04:32 AM

Any reason for it being "the nicest car you've seen live in person"? Is it just because it's rare and exotic?

I was lucky enough to go see the McLaren Dealership in London when it was still around. The F1 just has so much more presence and raw purpose than anything else I've ever laid eyes on.

Some of the best customs I've ever seen were in Victoria in '07 for Northwest Deuce Day. Too many to post here.

03-23-2009, 03:02 AM

locally, I have seen almost all the available exotics such as CGT, Ford GT, F430, Murcielago, Gallardo, Diablo, Testarossa, DB-9, AM v8 Vantage, Maserati Gran Turismo. these are just from driving on the street or watching such lovely cars drive by in traffic. I would love to see the Reventon that is in Vancouver.

when I was in HK, I saw a Porsche 959 and to me that was one of the nicest cars I've ever seen due to its rarity and how I adored that car when I first heard of it (from my father) when I was 9 years old.
