If your trying to do this as a comparison, then put it in the comparisons section next time. Anyways i'll choose other: Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. Thats just an awesome car, a nice combo of looks, power and comfort.

I would pick the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. It is a very quick car, and can easily fit four people. The only downside I can see is that it will be heavy on fuel, but which of the cars listed won't be.

What about the Volkswagen Golf GTi W12 650 Concept? There was a thread on it not too long ago.
Anyway, I'm taking the Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG, because of it's stunning looks, I don't really care about it's extremely high overpricing though, I just seem to like its looks and it's extra grunt. It has a very tough, male, brutal V12 (i think? :p) engine with a good convertible feature.

Out of the cars listed, I'd probably take the SL65. But I'm just lying to myself. In reality I'd take the Murcielago.
As for other cars, I'd probably take a Countach, a 250 GTO or a Ferrari Maranello... but there's a lot of nice 12 cylinder cars.

May 18, 2007, 2:01 PM
I'd say the 599
Lp640
May 18, 2007, 2:03 PM
the lambo because i am a true lambo fan but the 599 is also ranked highly in my books

May 18, 2007, 2:40 PM
i'd take a DB9 first off, second choice would be an Murciélago LP640 and then a 250 GTO would come next. i wish, i wish... :(

May 18, 2007, 2:53 PM
I can't resist the LP640. Having that massive V12 sitting behind your ass must be quite something. Plus I've been in one, and adored everyhting about it (well you'd expect me to wouldn't you:( ).
Can't wait to get my own lol :D
Kaoss
May 18, 2007, 2:56 PM
The 599 GTB engine isn't that bad...and I also like the Zonda's V12
Porscheboy
May 18, 2007, 3:00 PM
I'd have to say the Ferrari 250 SWB California Spyder. Now THAT is an amazing engine! (And what a sound....)

May 18, 2007, 4:10 PM
The Murcielago. The Murcielago is one of my favourite cars. It's great looking, has the manic engine which has been posted and really goes like stink. It's also wide and low, which gives it a really aggressive stance.
599 GTB
May 18, 2007, 4:19 PM
Ferrari 599 GTB and an Enzo.....and if space allows a 250 GTO.:)
monkeyfkker
May 18, 2007, 4:26 PM
The Testarossa... lol
frewin1987
May 18, 2007, 4:27 PM
The Testarossa... lol
aint that a V8? :confused:
599 GTB
May 18, 2007, 4:30 PM
aint that a V8? :confused:
Testarossa has a flat 12 engine....:)
As a Luxury: Maybach 57!....nothing better that that in luxury!
as a sport!: Peugeot 908 RC (too bad it's a prototype!
or the Audi Q7 V12....both diesels...(both prototypes)!
as a real car....i'd proberly go for an Italian.....maybe a Merc... but would rather have a German V8 or french V6

May 18, 2007, 5:20 PM
Most definently the Pagani Zonda F

I'd take the DB9. I love the sound and looks of these new Aston Martins.
carreragt4me
May 18, 2007, 6:13 PM
I would have to choose the Pagani Zonda F or the Lambo Lp640 roadster, they're both such awesome cars. Perhaps some day...
Godzilla:PetroLHeaD
May 18, 2007, 6:15 PM
i'd take the Murcielago. it looks very very aggressive and the lambo badge give it even more ferocity.

May 18, 2007, 6:25 PM
I's have the ferrari 599 GTB. It's a more streetable car then the Enzo, but has similar preformance.
DarkCivic01
May 18, 2007, 7:01 PM
the LP460 or the 599gtb would be my pick. but then again the zonda c12 s is sweet, and rare

ferrari 599 gtb fiorano
simply because it is awesome
mclaren_mercedes_f1
May 18, 2007, 8:41 PM
I'd choose the SL 65 for the ones i'm allowed to choose. There is actually no point of having CL 65 too! it's the same engine.
But my real choice if i get to choose anything would be the CLK GTR
clutch
May 18, 2007, 9:54 PM
Out of all the cars in the list I choose other. That other car would be a Zonda F for a modern car.
But if age was no limit I would with 100% certainty say the McLaren F1 LM. Perhaps the greatest 5 creations man has made.

May 19, 2007, 12:36 AM
In that list, I'd choose the DB9 simply because although its not the fastest car there, it could get you laid the quickest. lolz! Out of the list, the McLaren F1 or Zonda F....

May 19, 2007, 1:00 AM
Zonda's V12 .. an Orchestra to the ears !! :D
AWDfreak
May 19, 2007, 1:11 AM
I'll choose the Audi A8 W12 Quattro just because it has the rally-inspired Quattro AWD system :p
Actually, I chose it because it's plainly AWD :p :p :D.....
miniwisejosh
May 19, 2007, 1:17 AM
From the list, I'd take the LP640. My first pick would be the Zonda F.

x2
It would be great to have one of those around here. People would think it's just some riced-out rabbit.
But really, if I could have any V12 car ever made it would be a tough call between a Vector M12, Bugatti EB110, Lamborghini Countach and a McLaren F1.
Murcielago Coupe
May 19, 2007, 4:43 AM
I'de have the Murcielago. Not the fancy LP640 cos it's a little bit too much. The Standard 6.2 Coupe.....with a manual.
car lover !!
May 19, 2007, 6:35 AM
I'd have to say the Ferrari 250 SWB California Spyder. Now THAT is an amazing engine! (And what a sound....)
I have to agree on that. I love that sweetie. xD It looks so good and goes pretty fast for a car in those age. =) Nice choice! You have taste. xD hahah ..
Too bad the Carrera GT is V10 if not, it would be my pick.
I'm going for Zonda in this one. I don't like to mess with that thing. Saw a couple times on TV and I love it! I would never mind owning one. It's gonna be the C12-S Roadster 7.3 . If I can't get that, the coupe might do. Why didn't I choose the Zonda F? I personally think it's too much for a car .. it's like a car that you wouldn't want to drive for fun. I mean, it's a car that you wouldn't wanna drive on the road, it is just too much to be driven on the streets.
Others would be the Murcielago [not the LP640], McLaren F1 and the 599 GTB Fiorano. Those are great cars that you wouldn't want to miss.

May 19, 2007, 12:51 PM
I know I already put one up, but my other favorite is the Mclaren F1 GTR.
The most violent sounding car I've ever heard!

those r nice. other Maserati mc12
Another topic of interest is Maserati, here is the history of one of their many high end super cars; the MC12.The result is that 37 long years after its last victory in an international championship (1967, Cooper Maserati F1, South African Grand Prix), the Trident is returning to the track. The Ferrari Maserati Group’s wealth of knowledge and technological excellence has been poured into the design of the new car. In addition to this, its styling was developed in the wind tunnel from a Giugiaro idea by Maserati technicians with the support of Frank Stephenson, the Ferrari Maserati Group’s own Director of Concept Design and Development. The European type-approved version of the new car goes on sale after the summer.
Designed for high-level road use, it can exceed 330 km/h at full throttle, going from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. Although easy and pleasant to drive on the road, the MC12 is also a dynamic car. Intensive wind tunnel testing and advanced mathematical computations, combined with work on the track and road, have resulted in an extraordinarily efficient form that absolutely leaks power and personality. The air intakes, vents and other aerodynamic components have been designed to optimize the car’s internal fluid dynamics and air flows to ensure optimal down force (vertical load) and aerodynamic efficiency values, it also optimizes appearances too.
The front is characterized by the sinuous lines formed by two large tapering apertures, culminating in the classic Maserati grille opening with a Trident at its center. The roof and wheel arches, into which the Bi-Xenon headlamps are set, are a one-piece molding which is also removable. Overall this car is a stunning feat of technological design and an engineering masterpiece. The engine is a naturally aspired v12 that is very powerful.

Easy choice the 599/Enzo V12 after all what does everyone think of when they hear the word V12...Ferrari. The Zonda F is prob second and then the Vanquish S purely because of the sound.

May 22, 2007, 10:52 AM
Give me the McLaren F1!!! It's the best engine ever put in the road car... why don't they make more ??? 2nd choice Aston Martin because of the wonderful sound.
