No need to wait champ, OP asked for a car that was the most stunning, expensive blah blah looking car. How can you say that a Duesenberg is more stunning than a Reventon or a F430 Scud??? Those 2 cars would turn more heads than the one you picked, but there may be a small group of people who agree with you, me not being one of them therefore I call your choice a FAIL
Well, I asked you to do it without looking like a moron. I guess that task was too much for you.

yeah, if the SJ was out on the street with a Reventon or a common (and ugly) F430, I can guarantee you that most people over the age of 12 would look at and appreciate the Duesy more. There's a reason why they are worth more than the cars you mentioned and unlike the cars you mentioned, ar appreciating, rather than depreciating. Timeless looks, exquisite engineering, supercar performance in their day (basically like a combination of a new Maybach and Veyron would be now: endlessly customizable in luxury and sports car forms). They were so meticulously engineered the things that each crankshaft has a tiny capsule attached to it, that is partially filled with mercury. The miniscule movement of the liquid metal during the crank's rotation cancels out a vibration that annoyed the Duesenberg brothers.

Once you get out of puberty and quit looking at cartoon cars on posters on your bedroom wall, you'll understand.












And besides the Duesenbergs, cars like the '25 Rolls Aero Coupe will stop tracks and turn heads better than any F430 ever could:



These cars DEFINE the term "special." Something that modern Lambos and Ferraris only WISH they were. I don't even look at a Ferrari on the street anymore unless it's a classic (Daytona and older). F430?

Must have been one awesome view, does BMW have official bragging rights to the Mclaren F1 or something?

yes they built the magnificent motor, the heart of the beast.

see this video of the classic Top Gear w Tiff for a history review and to hear the glorious sound of this car. McLaren F1, my favorite supercar of all time.

http://www.streetfire.net/video/Top-...-the_70384.htm

or this one where Tiff compares an unreal Mclaren F1 GTR (I think) to an Enzo, he obviously is much more in love with the McLaren, as we all would be.

Good stuff, never seen the first vid before. I was reading somewhere that just because BMW supplied the engine doesn't mean much or something. Although, in some sense this could BMW's way of showing it as their form supercar as well?

Agreed. Some people spend way too much time going out of their way to be assholes and do it with some of the most ignorant statements I've ever read.

If we're talking about "special," I'd have to go with the BMW Gina. There is absolutely nothing like it out there.
