#1 Ruf CTR3 Clubsport

Well bringing in the new year is the Ruf CTR3 Clubsport. I’ve always loved RUF creations and this one looks amazing and sounds even better when you actually see one in front of you. This car seemed to be RUF telling Porsche to come out with a new super car as soon as possible. It looks amazing especially in orange and black, I literally can’t say anything else except the feeling that I’m in a state of euphoria when I look at this car.

#2 Aston Martin DBS Carbon

OK how can a pretty car become prettier than it was before?! Well simple sprinkle some carbon fibre over it and watch it become prettier. I swear this is one of my all time favorite cars. Aston Martin definitely reinvented itself with the DB9 and made an even greater comeback with the DBS.  Its great to see Aston still has a few tricks up its sleeve.  The sprinkles of carbon fibre are found on the exterior (diffusers & mirrors) and interior dash. Custom diamond spun wheels  for the carbon edition as well as a paint job that literally takes 27 hours to finish as well as 7 coats of paint! My only problem with this car is that a manual transmission wasn’t offered for this edition.

#3 Mercedes SLS Hamann Hawk

Here it is, numero tres…namba tatu! The SLS Roadster Hawk edition by Hamann a famous European tuning company. There are a lot of company’s who have given wonderful tuning options for this car and this is one of my favorite. Although I wouldn’t remove the mercedes emblem; the car is strikingly beautiful with modifications that give the SLS an even more aggressive stance then it had before. Modifications made to the car are a remapped ECU, new exhaust system, slightly lower height, 245F/345R, and a redesigned interior. Pics are from Luxatic!

#4 Jaguar CX16 (F-type)

Well although Jaguar has given up on their super car, they still have a very aggressive and sporty coupe coming out next year. I’m glad Jaguar decided to go with this coupe which will be a good idea –if sales look good for them– to bring a super car back to their platform. The look is very different from many coupes and roadsters currently in the market so I’m excited to see how the roadster will do followed by the coupe that will be released after. The Ftype will have three varients (F type base, S, and V8 S), with a promising R-type coming a few years after its release
