    Interesting. It actually looks very nice like that.

    I wonder what it'll sell for, though...only 5 worldwide?! :eek:

    IIRC regular Veryons, whatever that means, start at a $1million...so start there an work your way up.

    Beautiful cars...but if I had the dough, I don't think I'd own one. I'd rather have a Maclaren F1...In fact, Ralph Lauren has one of the nicest collections of cars on the planet...including a Veryon, F1 and Carrera GT.

    Wow, somebody with tastes I can appreciate! I don't know why, but out of the great league of cars including the Ferrari F40, Ferrari F50, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, Murcielago Gallardo Superleggera, Porsche GT2, Porsche GT3, Porsche Carrera GT, Koennigsegg CCX, Pagani Zonda, Mercedes McLaren SLR...

    Out of all those, though I really like quite a few of them...none of them are quite as appealing as the McLaren F1.

    I'd be VERY surprised if any of those special editions sell for less than at least $1.7 million.

    Sweet. I'll take one. Although, if you gave me a blank check to buy the most bad **** driver's car of my dreams, I'd order a Saleen S7. There's just something about the raw, race inspired, grunt of that car.

    I had my signiture on the contract to buy a red one. Then I find out it doesn't have a docking station for my IPod. I was so pissed I walked out. I will not own a car that doesn't have a docking station for my IPod!:mad:

    I believe the McLaren F1 is more "raw". Plus being able to take two ladies at once is a huge selling point. I'm also curious as to what it would be like to drive from the center of the car.
