Default Which new exotics are you looking forward to?

Similar to a decade ago, when new supercars were coming out left and right, there seems to be a rush of new high-end exotics coming out in the near future. The thread question is simple: which of them, if any, aside from the C7 Corvette, are you looking forward to?

It's tough to choose, but I'll list my top 3:


Ferrari F150/F70/Enzo


I loved the 288 GTO, F40 and F60 Enzo (the F50 was "eh"), so I'm very curious to see what happens with the new Ferrari supercar. This car is also a huge step towards what all future supercars will be powered by (i.e. the KERS system). (By the way, I'm looking forward to the F12 Berlinetta as well, but it seems that we've known about it for so long already)




McLaren P1


I like the McLaren MP4, but I don't love it. The Spider looks nice, but it's not on the same level as a 458. McLaren has set the bar for the new exotics with this P1, though. I can't imagine what this must look like in person.




Porsche 918 [Spyder]


I've never been a big Porsche fan, but the 918 is amazing. I would go as far as saying it's the best looking Porsche of all-time.

I can't wait for the new Ferrari. From the rumors about its power and some of the technology going into it, that thing is going to be a monster. You know it is going to be awesome. As far as the Porsche, how long has that thing been in development? Are they having the team that is developing the Acura NSX working to finish it. Ha. I also heard from the local Porsche dealer that they are really low on the pre-orders for the 918. The people that are spending that amount of money don't want a boring Porsche...even if it is not boring. Would you buy one if you had the option for a car of that amount of cash? The McLaren should be pretty interesting and very fast.

For me it's time to Ferrari California, as i really love it the way it characterized by the number 30. That’s 30 as in the fact that it is 30 kilos lighter and 30 horse power more powerful. Nice to have it.

FYI, the McLaren P1 is up at the Lake Forest Sports Cars in Lake Forest, IL if anyone is interested. I think they are showing it off and taking orders from people they invite to see it. I heard it was back in the service area so it may be hiding.

From what I hear, there's also one floating around NYC, making appearances.
