Hopefully this year. I put my deposit down in April of 2022. I think I remember them saying it would be a 2024, but who knows. It seems it’s already delayed, which is kind of par for the course with Aston.

Vector W8. There’s basically nothing I like about these especially the styling. Heard some say it’s drop dead gorgeous, but personally couldn’t disagree more.

As much of an eyesore as that design is, the car itself is probably even worse.

Just ask Andre Agassi.

Interesting thread… just goes to shows the difference in opinions in the car community… which is a great thing.

One person said the Enzo is an ugly car… I think it is one of the most beautiful cars ever made :-)

Another said all McLarens are ugly… I think the F1 again is one of the most timeless designs.

No one is right… no one wrong… :-)

And in a final point / opinion… is the GT3 RS (or any variant of the 911) a supercar?

The 992 Turbo S has always deserved to be in this category, sadly the stigma for that title not many believe Porsche falls in the realm.

The 992 Turbo S by definition is "The" supercar of supercars.

The Turbo is a super car.

But it is not a supercar.

Agreed. 911 Turbo/Turbo S has always been a sports car with supercar beating performance.

But supercar it is not.

A Mclaren 765LT is a supercar, LaFerrar is a hypercar, etc.

The problem is those titles are around price point and not actual abilities of the car. I guess this is why I never really personally acknowledge any description of such.

Subjective or not....anyone who says the Enzo is ugly is an idiot and/or has never seen one

I used to think the F50 was unattractive but I’ve grown to really like the design (F40 is still tops for me but there’s room for both in a collection). Love the Enzo design but the gearbox is a non starter.

Would you consider a Corvette Z06 to be a supercar as well? The performance is up there.

How about a Mustang GT750? Similar performance, even cheaper. Supercar?

If performance is your only criteria, then you are not understanding the definition of a supercar.

I respect your point, but no. Neither of those brands make a super anything.... and Includes the Ford GT which is one of the most overrated cars of all time.

My M8 Gran Coupe Performs better than a Z06 and with a simple poggyback it keeps up with my 992 Turbo S, but still wouldn't put it in a category of Supercar.

The supercar definition encompasses stigmas of brands such as Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren.... the cars many consider to be "exotic".

Hypercars in society are essentially defined as 1.5-2mil+ cars and only a fraction of those can even break past 220mph.

It's that simple. Nonetheless I have no dog in this fight, I merely am stating the 992 Turbo S wouldn't ever be allowed by the auto elites to carry an Aura of Supercar.

I always find this argument humorous "if I added 150hp to my car it could keep up with that car"

If you tune a 992 TTS it keeps up with a 918 LOL

Actually even stock we're only talking .5sec 0-60 slower and same difference for 1/4mile....

The 918... Supercar or Hypercar in your book?
