So we had some special guests at our track here in the frozen tundra so I ripped down to grab a photo. They were doing a slow parade lap for the end of the day just as I got there.

I had a matchbox F-40 when I was little. Have always thought it is just awesome.

Photos like that continue to back me up.

Lol looks like we all have the same favorite. The F40 was for sure the king of the show

Cool cars but I rather see them rip on them than parade laps. There is a guy in Toronto that goes to Mosport and tracks his F40.

The F40 is ungodly iconic, and in a class of it's own...but I'll take the Agera RS!

I flew to CA earlier this year for a super high end track day, like 9 Koenigseggs, 6 Paganis, 918, Senna, etc, etc. Koenigsegg had their official test driver there, and also one of their main software developer guys too. Filthy rich folks (and almost me) paid $800 for 4 laps in the Agera RS, and they were constantly left speechless. These are folks who have ridden in multiple 500K+ exotic cars, 1,000rwhp twin turbo Lambos, etc.

Their software guy summed it up something like this: "In first gear you instant think this is one of the fastest cars you've been in. In second gear, ok, you know for certain this is the fastest car you've been in. Then third gear hits, and you can't comprehend it. It pulls harder than 2nd. It's scary. As the car shifts into 4th, you think you're safe, it will "slow down" but on E85, 4th gear has the same rate of acceleration."

Google the top speed run they did in Nevada. They don't go full throttle till 200mph

The Agera RS is almost beyond what we call a Hypercar. It pushes every limit of technology and engineering...and that was a couple years ago. Their new Jesko has potential to be the first production car to hit 300mph.
