honestly, i'd really rather NOT drive that car. it just isnt my style. beyond that, there is nothing really elegant about 1000hp from 16 cylinders and 4 turbos that requires 10 radiators.
now... if you had posted a photo of you in one of the following, it would be a different story entirely.
and if you had photos of you driving this, i would have already had slit your throat...
700hp, AWD Mr2 - Group B WRC car from 1985. unfortunately, it never ran in a Group B rally, as once it was finally done, Group B had been disbanded.

Oh trust me, theF1 is still, and will probably always be, my favorite car.
But don't put the Bugatti out, it actually handles EXTREMELY well
Nice on the Lotus. I love the V8. Finally got all the power it really needed to push it into supercar status.

hehehhe... the F1 is a remarkable car. that is unquestionable.
i'm not doubting that the bugati handles well. but, 16 cylinders, 4 turbos, 10 radiators... there is nothing elegant about it.
as it turns out with the Lotus, looks like i'll be working on it a bit (ABS problem) and helping to smooth out the ride... so, that means i'll be driving it even more...
pimp-tastic to say the least.

Just for nostalgia, check out the James Bond pic The Spy Who Loved Me. I think that one's got an Esprit in it which converts into the sub.

Now if you drove one of these on land and sea; that would be very impressive.

For Your Eyes Only also had the Lotus Esprit Turbo but that didn't make as big a splash (No Pun Intended ) as the previous movie.

Yeah, McLaren F1 is the hands-down all time winner for me. Extra points for the one and only BMW M8 but it probably hasn't moved in years. That MR2 is pretty awesome. I love cars but I am not sure I would want to drive the Bugatti - doesn't seem interesting. I can appreciate what it is, but it does not grab that part of me that loves cars like an original F40... Or my fav from Ferrari - the '85 288 GTO. Maybe it's a pedal count thing. I only want to drive cars with 3 pedals.
