Easy choice

Ah... now this is a fine match-up.

Imagine you're bonkers wealthy and you're looking for a bit track-capable excess to supplement the on-road thrills you're getting with your Veyron. Tough choice but I'd do my utmost to get onto Horacio's order book! That Zonda R is just extraordinary in every sense of the word and in every element of its exquisite detail. Just the instrument panel and steering wheel instrumentation alone is like something out of pure fantasy.

Zonda R. It's too special.

I might be skewing the votes, by the way that I worded the thread, it's all psychological

I guess I am the only one who thinks the SLR actually looks the most bonkers even more than the Zonda. The Ferrari is probably faster, but it looks like a clown. But you have to respect the Maser most for being the only real 'race car' here, one that actually is build to rules and races against competition not just among each other.

BTW the figures for Ferrari is wrong, it makes 860HP not 790HP.

I hope someone from the factory reads this forum

I picked Zonda, but I think it looks kind of unfinished/awkward.

Zonda all the way!!

This car, the Zonda R, is just incredible!! Love every bit of it, it's amazing...

Second would be the FXX, then the Maser.

The SLR is not at his place with such incredible machines imo. Clearly sub-par here, in every aspect.

The Pagani is one of the most exciting car ever released. For me, the only cars that can keep up with it are the McLaren F1 (#2 in my supercar book) and the Porsche Carrera GT (#1 in my supercar book). The Zonda comes in # 3.

The rest is very, very far away from these 3.

^Change the places of CGT and McLaren and i agree!
