what the hell car was it???

firedrop · 02-22-2014, 01:05 PM

just saw the nicest car in my life.. not even sure what it was :/ thought it was a viper but no.. it's not a mercedes or maserati, it was really sleek, looked like it was atleast $200,000+ and had side gills on it, kind of like an sls-class coupe infront of the doors.. was a 2 seater. the rear tires were super fat, and it had the same aerodynamics as a corvette/viper but it wasnt one..

wasnt a dodge, mercedes, aston martin, ferrari, chevy, ford, maserati.. clueless :/ sounded like it had a v12, but it was really quiet/modest. anyone? :(

edit: it was answered, ended up being an aston one 77

The Jag F-Type S? Most people have no idea that Jaguar redesigned their whole line of cars. Kind of sounds what you are talking about with big back tires and the new LED headlights.

Lexus LF-A?

shibbs · 02-22-2014, 01:18 PM

McLaren 12C?

I wonder if you could have seen a Aston One 77? It has SLS characteristics, the rear tires are super fat, "side gills" and it looks like the viper by having the same side vents in the fascia. It is in fact one of the nicest cars out there with a top speed of 220mph and hitting 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Very limited since being produced in 2010, so very unlikely you saw it, but has a V12.

firedrop · 02-22-2014, 02:22 PM

Tesla ^? n/m

I didn't post that because you said specifically that it wasn't an Aston... :P

I'm definitely jealous you got to see one of 77 of those, only a handful of those got to US shores.

I can say that I've never seen one of those. On or t
off the road.

FlashBurntFace · 02-23-2014, 08:09 AM

I was gonna guess Weismann. Those are so sick. I've never seen one on the road.

That is one sick car.

Looks like I'll be reading up on it today.
