I think that may be a Laser 917 -- VW-based kit car replica of a Porsche 917.

I took that pic as the owner was about to leave. It had an exhaust as well so it was ridiculously loud.

I'd take the R8 over the Veyron for a daily. Especially with an exhaust.

So is this the WTF thread??

I'm sorry, but the Veyron is one of few cars that I find to be more hideous-looking than the 4G TL, particularly with a 2-tone (or more) paint scheme.

Go find a Ferrari or Aston Martin to photograph, please, kthnxbye.

+1 Weirdly enough, I've never been crazy about the Veyron. I respect the warp speed but that's just about it.

^Agreed. Plus I think whoever posted the Reventon wins

I saw my first Z8 last week:



It was filthy. You can see the dirt splattered on the side. It looked like it hadn't been washed in months.

then

Although to be honest, the 996 is the only generation 911 that I don't really care for that much. I think it'll age much worse than both the 993 and 997.

That was the first Panamera I've seen. It's like they literally took a 911, stretched it and added 2 extra doors.

I know, not exactly an exotic, but you don't see many and the car is stunning in person.

I don't think its good looking car either, but just fact that I saw one.... that's all.

I see Ferrari and AM all the time, nothing new to me.

TTS' are so rare... I used to work at Audi, and we used to get like 1or 2 a year?

Not enough demand in US market. I drove TTS plenty of time, and it was pure sex when the turbo kicks in.

I have seen two TTS's. The first one was orange and that was in 2008 when I worked for the Audi dealer. Another was black and I saw that on the road a few months ago.

Only seen one TTS here in Toronto, white, very similar to the picture. Not a fan of the wheels though. And TBH I'd rather get a Cayman S for that kind of cash.
