Stealing an idea I seen in a motoring magazine, what components from other cars would make up your dream car? To give you an example, here's how mine would go:

Looks like an MC Stradale
Sounds like a 430
Handles like an NSX
Accelerates like a Huayra and
Costs the same as a Golf.

DREAM Car or what? :D :)

How would yours go?
 
I don't need to pick bits from different cars. This'll do nicely.

Body of an old VW Beetle
Rolls Royce Merlin Spitfire engine.

'Nuff said. :)
 
My dream car?

Looks like any BMW, or it has cues of BMW styling.
It sounds like a Lamborghini Murcielago.
Handles so good like the E39 M5.
Accelerates like an F10 M5.
Costs anywhere but cheaper than an entry level big saloons (eg. 7er, S-Klasse or Jag XJ).

But nevermind though, because all the BMW M5 has always been awesome so what more could be asked for?
 
Looks, sounds, and goes like the Aventador.

So in other words, I'll just pick the Aventador.

If it has to be mix-n-match, I'd make it look and sound like a Quattroporte Sport GTS, but use the suspension from the McLaren MP4-12C and the interior from the Bugatti Galibier Concept.
 
Which magazine?

Anyways, I'd have the body if a Fiat 500, the engine of the Veyron SS, the handling of an F1 car, and the sound of a Zonda.
 
The only dream I remember that featured cars as the focal point was one where I tried to race an Elise in my Volvo and lost badly. Probably worse than in real life. He put like 20 car lengths on me.
 
Just give me and Audi RS6 Avent. Remove the speed limiter and that would be the perfect car. Twin turbo Gallardo engine, quattro handling and a big boot. What more could you ask for?
 
-Looks of an LP 570

-Sound of a Carrera GT

-Acceleration of a Veyron SS (or Agera R)

-Doors of a Koenigsegg, A.K.A dihedral synchro-helix actuation doors :P

-Handling of an MP4-12C

-Drivability of a 911

that's it for now :P .
 
Corvette body
1200 bhp, AWD
perfect handling
driver controlled center diff, so I could make it rear wheel drive if I so desired
driver controlled power limiter
Interior of a Spyker or a Bentley

Autocar or Auto Express
Whichever one Steve Cropley is in.

EDIT: Autocar. 👍
 
Exige body, AWD as an option, Automatic Gearbox, sounds like a porsche with a punchy exhaust note.
 
Looks: Serenissima 308 Jet Competizione.

Engine: All I care about is that it's fast, is not on fire and has a fantastic soundtrack.

Transmission: Sequential 6-speed, probably similar to the one in the Ascari A10.

Handling: Very grippy and point-and-shoot with M5-esque telepathic steering, but easily powerslideable.

Drivability: Audi R8 or Porsche 911.

Cost: Everything's better when it's free... 💡

'69 Boss 429 Mustang. In red. 'Nuff said lol.


But for real though, over 500 horses stock...and slight...SLIGHT mods will edge you over 650hp lol. Would probably upgrade suspension and exhaust though to make up for the excess power. Would like a fish fin cover (rear window and side window louvers, 'cept the 429 doesn't have side windows) for the rear window as well, and also a small spoiler like you could get as an option when the car first came out.


Engine: Ford 429c.i. (385 Series) Boss Engine (it's a NASCAR engine lol). Over 500 stock horsepower (even though Ford lied about ratings to fool insurance companies). Slight mods, punched out 30 over . Eventually would like to build a full 429 stroker engine, but I could probably get even more power with a 460 stoker and send it over 557c.i. aka over 1000hp lol. At that point it'd be a track only car but this is my dream car and will likely end up using an old Ford truck as a daily driver.

Transmission: 4 speed automatic, I HATE standards (even though that are better). Would like to see if I could bolt up a C6 to the 429 but not sure if the patterns are the same. Should be fine with a 460 though as I know Ford used C6's with them. A C4 or C5 I would be ok though, even though all 3 of them are 3 speed auto and manual. Will probably have the gearing changed too from stock since I want over 85mph lol. Only problem is that they are heavy *** transmissions lol. Exhaust upgrade, Flowmaster 40's probably, not sure what size pipes they come int though, probably 2 1/2 inchers if I can get them for better air flow.

Handling: Grippy! Will upgrade to some type of Cooper tires and upgrade the suspension as well to support the power. The the power it'll produce though should be able to spin the tires with ease. Would also like to do some kind of weight reduction although if it were to be driven on the street it wouldn't pass inspection here in NY. Would definitely garage the car though. Also will upgrade brakes as well.

Driveability: No understeer, a little oversteer though because of spinning tires. No one car could do this baby up.

Sounds: Like a V8. Loud *** roar to **** off the neighbors lol.

Cost: Car in mint would be up over $40,000. Same with restored. How ever I'd rather build it myself and pull it from a junkyard. Cost would still be up there though. With everything it'll probably be around the same as if I were to buy the car itself. The motor in itself if I were to drop a prebuilt crate in it would about $10,000 so yeah lol.


In my dreams....
