The daddy.
At the Petersen Auto museum in LA. I purposefully did not look up what they had in the current collection before going, because I wanted to be surprised. I was not expecting an F1. Stunning thing. It was parked between a Vector M12 and a Lamborghini Countach and that offered a really great comparison have just how compact and unbelievably refined the design of the F1 is. Every single detail on the body is exceptionally well resolved...I took a picture of the rear glass to demonstrate this:
The quality of the construction is up there with modern Porsches, perhaps better. The Vector and Countach looked just so crude by comparison - sharp corners at intersections, undefined surfaces throughout.
Some other hits at the museum currently on display that I'm not going to post pictures of because I don't want to minimize the F1:
Isdera Commendatore 112i (also looks really well made, which surprised me)
Ford GT90
Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR Roadster
Talbot Figoni et Falaschi
Jaguar XRJ15
Ford Indigo
Lotec C1000
Cizeta V16T (Appeared better built than the Countach, which surprised me)
Panoz Esperante GTR1 (a true beast, especially in person)
Bugatti EB110 (Really good looking car in person, more compact than I expected)
Great museum. Highly recommend. Saving the "vault" for my next trip to LA.
