Not Porsche but Still Cool

That lady seems to be pretty excited about it too.

The Acura NSX is underrated. The interior could use some work; like I've said before I don't like the tacky buttons on the steering wheel and I don't know whether to call it a Honda or an Acura. So lets just call it the Honda Acura NSX. But all the cons aside, the performance still classifies the NSX as a hybrid super car. The speed from those electric motors and turbo chargers definitely back that up. But does the 191 mile an hour top speed and 3 second 0-60 compare with a 911 Turbo S?

The sleek Audi R8 V-10 Plus has an aggressive front end mainly because of those giant grills and angry eyes. The back isn't too shabby either with some gorgeous LED tail lights. But I have always thought Audi needed to do some work on their seats. I am not a fan of the chunky, old lady quilt design, leather seats.

Again with the ostentatious grill and wicked headlights, the Mercedes-AMG GT R falls under the cool race-car category. So far it seems in order to be a nice sports car, the title has to be long and hard to say without taking a deep breath at the end. The black rims with the silver ring is an outstanding look and pairs well with the matte green hell magno.

Race-car or not all the BMW M4 configurations look like a sedan with sporty trim. But with this particular car I love the dragon scale like tail lights. The distinctive shapes form originality and a sense of exclusiveness.

Not much to write about the Ford GT. I could care less that Ford manufactured the legend; whenever I hear Ford all I can think of is a smart buy, family car. Although the Ford GT is a work of art, yellow isn't the best color of choice.

One of my more favorite cars thats not a Porsche is the New Aston Martin Vantage and only the new one. The previous generation was iffy at best, but the light bar integrated into the trunk tail and the sharp kitchen knifed rims, on this specific model, are well manufactured to match the sharp slice shaped air vents under the slick cutting door mirrors. The narrowing rectangle glass in the back is similar to the Cayman with just a bit more length and an elegant rounded bottom. At a side view the Vantage almost resembles the Jaguar F-type's body style with minor differences too.


McLaren makes some bad ass cars. From the 570S and the MP4-12C to the P1 and the Senna, McLaren doesn't know how to make a bad looking super car. Not only do the squinty eyed beasts look spectacular, they're backed up with incredible performance. If you own one of these machines I'd never sell it, it will blow away most competition and will never fail to get a "nice car!" or "can I get a picture of that??". And if showing off is what your looking for, the driver certainly gets status points.
