Top 5 Ultimate Stupid Money Dream Cars for 2014!

Ok, so you have a cool $1 million burning a hole in your pocket and you really want to add a cool, shiny new sports car to your garage 2014. We have a list of the new ultimate sports cars from the ultimate car manufacturers. These are the new offerings that will define the supercar wars for the next decade. Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche and Lamborghini are all represented.

McLaren P1
Brace yourself for 0-62mph-in-2.8-seconds, 0-124mph in 6.8 seconds and 217 mph-top-speed limit. A tech fest McLaren event.

When Top Gear was granted an audience with the 903bhp hyper-hybrid, the most anticipated car of the decade, there was only one man for the job. The man never lost for words even in the face of the car that proudly boasts to be ‘the best driver’s car in the world on road or track’. It's fair to say he was a little impressed.

“We’ve seen fast cars before,” says JC. “There have been Koenigseggs and Paganis, and the Ferrari F12 doesn’t exactly hang about. But we have never encountered anything quite like the P1. This takes our perception of speed to a new level.”

Let loose on Belgium’s Spa circuit, Clarkson pushed the P1 right to its 0-62mph-in-2.8-seconds, 217mph-top-speed limits. And his own.

“Remember to forget all you think you know when you press the accelerator,” he says. “Because what happens when you do isn’t real. It’s from a world of sci-fi and monsters and fear. It makes everything else look like the past...”

Ferrari LaFerrari
Only 499 units will be built (they're all sold). Stunning looks and stupendous performance ensures Ferrari's ultimate supercar won't disappoint.

Ferrari's new LaFerrari supercar is always an occasion. 

The core of Ferrari's 6,262cc V12 is the F12 Berlinetta's engine that has been reworked internally to generate 789 horsepower at 9,000 rpm: 250 rpm before the limiter. With all that power, the car can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in well under three seconds and keep on going all the way to a 205 mile per hour top speed.

For a carmaker like Ferrari, a brand built around providing the ultimate in performance, creating a worthy hybrid car was a particular challenge.

Ferrari uses four types of carbon-fiber thread to make the LaFerrari's tub, and it produces the chassis in-house at its F1 team's autoclave. It promises the tub will have 27 percent more torsional stiffness than the Enzo plus 22 percent more longitudinal stiffness.

Lamborghini Veneno
With 750-horsepower and a carbon-fiber chassis, this car is in high demand. Too bad just three of these will ever exist and they already have buyers. 

The Veneno Roadster is meant to showcase Lamborghini's knack for crafting carbon-fiber. The lightweight material is used in the chassis, body, disc brakes, and interior.

Lightweight carbon-fiber is used throughout this extreme Italian supercar, from the chassis, to the body, and even the wheels and brakes. The carbon-fiber ring around the car’s custom alloy wheels has a performance-tuned function. It acts as a turbine, to help feed cool air to the Veneno’s powerful carbon ceramic brakes.


The Veneno—named after "one of the strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls ever," as Lamborghini informs us—presents the perfect way to celebrate the companies 50 year anniversary.

The fissured skin of the Veneno hides the Aventador's carbon-fiber monocoque, plus aluminum front and rear subframes. A pushrod suspension with horizontal spring-damper units betrays its racing aspirations. The interior is largely carried over from the Aventador and is clad in carbon fiber. The Veneno is fitted with Pirelli P Zero tires on 20-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in the rear. Center-locking hubs allow for quicker changes—and they look great.

Power comes from the incredible L539 6.5-liter V-12 engine, upgraded here to produce 740 horsepower. The extra power—the Aventador packs 691 horses—was found by enlarging the air intakes, allowing for higher revs, and modifying the existing exhaust system. Power is channeled to all four wheels through the seven-speed, single-clutch automated ISR transmission, an ultra-quick unit that shifts with all the subtlety of a club strike when you select the track-ready "Corsa" setting. Top speed rises to a lofty 221 mph.

Porsche 918 Spyder
Porsche's hybrid-powered 918 Spyder rewrites the rule book for supercars.

The 918 Spyder is built on a carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) monocoque that is interlocked with a CFRP unit carrier. This provides great stability with lightweight construction, and also provides plenty of protection for the folks in its cabin.

Just in front of the rear wheels, Porsche fitted the engine’s main air intakes. These massive canyons in the rear fenders should be more than up to the responsibility of feeding life-giving O2 to the V-8 monster residing under the chicken-wire-style cage on the rear of the 918 Spyder.

On the backside of the 918 Spyder, there’s a massive dual-pedestal spoiler to add a little extra downforce. The one styling cue that the 918 Spyder takes from the rest of the Porsche lineup is its taillights. If you look close enough at the 918’s taillights, you may even see the soul of the 911 still floating around in them. Just below these taillights rest a pair of air vents, which we can only chock up as heat extractors, as there is no way they can be designed to take in air.

The 918 Spyder reveals its close links to motorsport in a variety of ways. It has been designed, developed and produced by Porsche engineers who build race cars, in cooperation with series production specialists. A great deal of insight gained from the development of Porsche race cars for the 24 hours race in Le Mans in 2014 is thus integrated into the 918 Spyder – and vice versa. The structural concept of the 918 Spyder with a rolling chassis as its basis – a basic vehicle that can be driven even without a body – is race car tradition at Porsche.


The Porsche 918 Spyder also has the potential to break many records. The current lap time for the North Loop of the Nürburgring is 7:14 minutes. The 918 Spyder prototype was therefore approximately 20 seconds quicker than the Porsche Carrera GT. More test drives on the Nürburgring North Loop will follow. An even more important factor is that the 918 Spyder surpasses previous models and competitors by far in its efficiency as well. As a plug-in hybrid vehicle, it systematically combines the dynamic performance of a racing machine with low fuel consumption. To sum it up: maximum driving fun with minimal fuel consumption.
