Default Found a car I like better then the C7!









Lykan Hypersport

Supercars are a common sight in some parts of the Middle East, but until now, that region of the world has gone without an exotic of its own. Enter the LykanHypersport, an ultra-exclusive ride from Dubai-based startup W Motors. The upcoming car is said to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds and offer Lamborghini-rivaling style for $3.4 million, according to WardsAuto.

But C7 better value! Only $80K(usual options included) vs. $3.4 million!

A) the c7 won't be $80k, $25k-ish in options? Yeah ok.
B) it looks like a transformer Lamborghini. It's almost identical to a lambo, but with all the random angles looks like it's midtransformation
C) I guess it's worth over 3 mill... yeah no, you couldn't custom build the wildest car of your dreams for 3 million if you tried I bet.

That's a beyond exaggerated, unrealistic guess. Base price is unknown still, personally I think $52,500 is a safe bet. I'm not gonna bother with the other stuff, but in 2009, the z51 option was only $1700. The new z51 option includes everything equivalent the 2009 option did, plus the E-diff, larger spoiler, trans cooler on the autos, vents that are already there, and specific wheels/tires, ergo taking off your $2000 wheel upgrade as well. You really believe they'll charge an extra $8000+ for the unique differential, wheels, and a wing?!?

Can a base c6 coupe even be optioned out to $70k?

I think a base C6 4LT will run about 67k or 68k. A Grand Sport, however, will go north of 70k even in 3LT trim.

For a much cheaper $2.5M I'll take the new 286 mph Bugatti Super Veyron, that accelerates 0 -62mph in 1.8 sec, faster than Sebastien Vettel's F1 car. I'll try and get a test drive this afternoon, may have to give them $150 for a damage deposit. How much will my payments be if I put $1000 down?
