Saw a white GT86 Trd on griffith avenue today, 131 WW, female behind the wheel

Simonigs' car I think?

It's Worthersee time down my neck of the woods. Few spots from around the place today, guaranteed to piss off the purists without a care in the world

el diablo

Ferrari GTO

ironclaw

Nice Hertz Rental in Germany:



Not my spot, but a good friend in Alberta, Canada saw this. Felt it worthy of a mention given how rare they are:

I was lucky enough to see this few days ago. It's second I saw on public street but first driving. It's one of the best car I have ever seen:

Koenigsegg Agera R

I thought plates had to be blocked so I didn't bother blocking the reflection of it :v

I see a Carrera gt has been registered to take part in the cannonball this year.

There is also a Ford GT40 taking part.

And two more hypercars (not supercars) coming soon to registered list for Cannonball

Sounds like girlfriend material. Ive spotted another lady driving a red one a few times around phibsboro heading towards the keys.

Koenigsegg is prob top of my list for cats I want to spot right next to pagani and with good company from a CGT

ofcork

Any chance a veyron will be seen.

goochy

Veyron costs a fortune to run compared to all other supercars even , i heard that it would be cheaper to have one flown from country to country than drive . All to do with servicing / parts costs. Would prefer one of the 3 hybrid supercars any day

Would one be a particular Red Ferrari delivered to the North recently enough??

Do Ferrari even have a hypercar?

There's no official definition of what a hypercar is, (there isn't a definition of what a supercar is either for that matter). But the LaFerrari would easily fall into that bracket, not just for it's outright 0-60 and top speed performance figures, but it's construction, exclusivity, speed cross country and price tag get it into any hypothetical hypercar club without any question IMO.

I'd be interested to know if it's legit or a replica. Very very rare if it's the real deal.

Ignoring the engineering, they're very underwhelming in the metal.

They should have named it LaNdrover.?

I have no idea what that will be. I can only guess it will be some kind of Pagani and probably Porsche 918 - the blue one from Belfast or some other one from Scotland. I don't think it will be Veyron as there in none of them in Ireland and there was noone at Cannonball who can afford Veyron. Running costs of them is just to high. For example $30,000 for tires which need to be changed every 4.000km or 2.500 miles + wheels change every 16.000km and I guess owner of this will need to change set of tires after Cannonball as they're not driving too slow (still slower than me haha). But I wish to see Veyron in Ireland even if I will see few of them in June on my "big" plan holidays.

Here it is at Dublin Cars & Coffee:

And here it is again on last week American Car Show:

And yes, it's a real one.

I remember that Veyron at the Phoenix Park races years ago. They were only brand new at the time and it was brought out for a spanking round the track and after about 5 laps........the brakes lit on fire :-/. Anywayyyy, anyone for more Worthersee??

One of the regular Cannonballers had a Veyron for a while.

There was previously two Veyrons in Ireland, and as mentioned above there's a canonball regular who owns/owned another one but as far as I'm aware it was never in Ireland. A Grand Sport if I remember correctly.

My bad. Never knew it... Nice to see that there are some rich people in Iraland but pity all their cars are abroad.

Remember when I saw photo of Enzo somewhere in city centre and other one in some garage around Dublin. I guess all those cars gone to UK
