Missed your chance to buy a new McLaren F1 back in the 90s? Got a spot in your garage for a mid engine, rear drive 600 horsepower supercar, but want one that’s easier to live with on a daily basis than the original McLaren F1? Then get your financing in order, because the McLaren MP4-12C may be just the ticket. More pics after the jump.

A man of your means should be driving this black 16C Bugatti Galibier. This subtle, understated treatment conveys an air of sophistication. Polished aluminum slab sides are so gauche! You, sir, are beyond pomp and flash! And with a twin-superchaged W-16, it has more than enough power to plow through the throngs of paupers begging for scraps beyond the walls of your estate.

Ferrari 599 Hybrid? No. Novitec Rosso 848 RACE. Allcaps necessary.
Built by famed tuners Novitech Rosso, the 848 RACE has TWO superchargers and two intercoolers and is good for 848 horsepower at 7,900 rpm and 621 pound-feet of torque at 6,300 rpm. It’ll hit 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and charge all the way up to a top speed of 214 mph. It’s also the sexiest 599 I’ve ever seen.
The 848 RACE will debut at Geneva this year. Hit the jump for more photos and the press release.

Is your Ferrari Enzo not getting you the attention it once did? Has your Lamborghini Murcielago started to blend in with the others at your favorite restaurant? Concerned that you’ll see another Bugatti Veyron parked at your country club?

When the DeLorean came out in 1981 it was a head turner and at the time it was like nothing else on the road. The gull wing doors, stainless steel body panels and rear engine design were pretty trick and set the DeLorean apart from its competitors. Unfortunately though for DeLorean the car had one very big flaw – it was terrible. Upon release to the public the DeLorean looked like it was going 100 mph while standing still. This was a good thing, because in the event that you actually tried to hit that speed you would have found yourself waiting around for a while. Power came from a Renault sourced 2.6 V6 that produced 135 hp. So whereas DeLorean claimed a top speed of around 130 mph, in reality it would really only top out at just over 100 mph. Like I said, it was terrible.

Here’s a pretty picture to start your day off right. The 2011 Jaguar XKR is heart-stoppingly gorgeous and it’ll hit 60 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds and reach 174 mph in a straight line, thanks to upgraded transmission and engine programming. Motive force is provided by Jaguar’s venerable 5.0-liter supercharged V8, good for 510 horsepower. And with a base price of only $96,000, even your run-of-the-mill plastic surgeon can afford one.

Aston Martin recently released tons of photos of the Rapide, definitively showing everybody how to make a beautiful four-door sports car. Check out the mega-gallery at Carscoop.
The car has the muscle to back up its looks, too. A 6.0-liter V12 with 477 horsepower and 443 pound feet of torque lurks under that long hood, propelling the big sedan to 60 miles per hour in just 5.1 seconds. Top speed is 188 mph. Stateside pricing starts at $199,900 and change.

Would you pay $98 grand for a Ford 302? I certainly would, considering it’s wrapped in gorgeous Italian steel. This 1970 De Tomaso Mangusta is one of only about 120 left in the world and it’s flawless with only 9,000-odd miles on the odometer. It’s for sale at Fantasy Junction, one of the best exotic car dealers on the West Coast. Hit the jump for more photos and info about this ’70s super car.
