It defines ugly.

what exactly is your point apart from thinking you know everything about everything! you still haven't supplied your idea of a supercar even though you have rattled on about being this know it all about supercars blah blah b.o.l.l.icks.

unless you can supply a super car shut the **** up!

My point was, I thought, very clear indeed, for it included only three words: if you miss the point when someone writes of something 'it defines ugly' then there is something wrong; by way of explanation, my point is that hideous German car - even the name Gumpert is ugly - is, yes, you guessed - ugly. It's a supercar alright, but it's undeniably not very pretty.

You want me to give you a supercar? try that new Aston - what do they call it, One 77 or something? - for a modern take on the genre, and the Lamborghini Miura for the original supercar, and perhaps the most beautiful car of all time. Don't worry, if you think they're ugly, i'll get your point.

Monsta,

Not only are your taste buds sub par but you do not know beauty when you see it. The Gumpert is called a Gumpert because Gumpert is German for 'This is a hideous artefact'; Miura, on the other hand, is Italian for sheer beauty. There ahs been nothing to surpass its sheer perfection since, and little before; are you, perhaps, mistaking it for teh Countach which does, in fact, look to have been cobbled together by a blind man.

Actually it was named after a spanish ranch! with a herd of angry bulls who would attack you if you looked at them the wrong way! so its got nowt to do with beauty.

You really need a sense of humour, Monsta, or do I have to identify sarcasm with little smileys and such?

For the record, your assertion that Miura is named after 'a Spanish ranch' is a clear indication of reliance on Wikipedia, whose reference page compounds what is, in fact, a myth. Ferrucio Lamborghini always refuted the claim that Miura referred to anything to do with bulls, and it came about largely down to the link with the Lambo badge (a bull!). He indicated it was something to do with a district of Japan, for some reason or another.

Still beautiful, though. Unlike the Gumpert!

Thanks, mate, but I use Glasses Direct and their magnificent and amazingly affordable products products allow me to distinguish beauty from the beast! Seriously, I never denied the Gumpert is, emphatically, a supercar, but surely you don't think it's easy on the eye? Maybe you prefer the more aggressive look to a supercar, although I'm sure you earlier referenced the very beautiful Spyker. If I were paying the price of teh Gumpert, i'd want something that was at least attractive, rather than just startling, wouldn't you?

Hang on, this lost sort of stuffs your argument a bit - look:

Alfa 147GTA
AC Cobra 427
Audi TT (!)
BMW 125i, M3, and M5 - (er, you said....)
BMW 2002 Turbo (i'm only on 'B' for christs sake....)
Cadillac CTS, Chrysler 300 - who are they kidding?
Caterham 7??

This is a cracker - DeLorean DMC12!!!!!!!!!!

Honda S2000?

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8?

Is this serious?

Lotus Elise?

Look, i'll stop there; we need some clarification as to what a supercar is; I take on board your expectations of teh exotic entirely, but a Jeep? A Cadillac CTS? The Audi TT?

What's official about this list?

We need an independent arbitrator to clarify the word 'supercar'......

jeep grand cherokee srt8! 0 - 60 in under 5 seconds with a total of 480 horses! still not a super car!?

That's my point Monsta - what is the definition of a 'supercar'? Earlier - much earlier - you implied that an extortionate price had to be part and parcel of the deal; I reckoned not (after all, as a vehicle depreciates does it stop being 'super'?). Now you reckon if it gets to 60mph in less than five seconds and has 480 bhp its a supercar. A late 60's hemi Cuda could match that but, like the Jeep (Jeep - a supercar???) try getting it around a corner. Surely a supercar is something that is designed to the very highest echelons of performance, handling and so on? Surely sticking a big engine in a very ugly and rather ungainly off-roader (well, supposed to be off-roader) doesn't make it a supercar?

Your thoughts?
