The Gentleman's Racer

The word is a cruel place if you're not first, because then, you're last.

The Bugatti Veyron Supersport is the fastest car in the world and can move at about 450 kph (280 mph), faster than most single engined propeller planes, it costs more too. The Caparo T1 can pull 2G's of lateral force, almost enough to rip your face off. 0 - 100 kph (0 - 62mph) in under 4 seconds is almost expected of any new supercar, otherwise an Audi RS6 station wagon or a BMW X5m SUV filled with the family next door will pull it at the lights.

Such is most of the supercar world. The cars are chucked into the never ending heir-achy based on numbers. There is one name in this world where the numbers don't matter.
Aston Martin.
They don't make the fastest cars in the world, but don't get me wrong their cars aren't slow. If you could confine the complete experience (we're talking sights, sounds, emotions and orgasms) of sex to a solid form it would probably look something like an Aston Martin.

Aston Martin sells sex appeal by having style and not flashing it around. Subtle greatness, a true gentleman's racer. Enjoy the wallpapers.
