The Best Car Under These Criteria?

What is the best car based on the following criteria:
  • $225,000 - $300,000.
  • Very quick and fast. 0-60 under 3.5 and 200+ mph.
  • Exotic and unique. A production number under 500.
  • Rock Star quality that turns heads.
  • Black or silver exterior.

Not easy to tink of one is it. It's amazing that if you have a quarter million dollars to spend that there's nothing out there. If you can think of one, post it here!

If it weren't for under 500 production you could have the Ford GT and Murcielago on the list or close. The Noble meets your criteria. Probably the 430 Stradale will too if they make it and maybe a 959 gets close.

The Noble is also Ford based and not really that fast.

I think that non-S Zondas go for about 300k in europe and I think that you could make a strong case for Show and Display. F40 is always a good choice or wait a year and get a CGT.

Take a look @ www.auto-salon-singen.de , you'll find something that meets the requirements. Abeit ...... the beer budget. Who knows, you may get lucky.

The noble has a top speed of 185 mph, that's pretty fast, certainly faster than most people ever go. It also gets to 60 in 3.5 seconds and would leave you enough left over to buy a gallardo or P car

I would buy a used car though, F40 maybe

the recalls were due to problems found on one of the original test mules that had logged over 200K from what I hear. Just FYI

The latest Ford GT recall was for all 149 production models on the road at the time due to braking control arms... NOT GOOD!

0 to 60 isn't everything.
