10 Mind-Blowing Cars We're Sad We'll Never Own

(Envyd.com)

Nothing in life is impossible, but there are some things we're unlikely to achieve; convincing Mila Kunis that you're the one is an example, being more successful than Jeremy Clarkson, probably another. The same unlikelihood applies to certain cars too - some are rare, some too expensive and others wholly impractical to own. Here are 10 cars we want in our garage, as unlikely as that may be...

10. BMW 1M Coupe

(BMWBlog)

The 1M is a family friendly coupe with a 340hp straight-6 engine and more kudos than this devil-powered classic Mercedes. Between 2010 and 2012 everyone wanted one so badly that the production limit was raised from 2700 to 6039 units worldwide.

So why is it unlikely that you'll own one? Well, prices of UK versions still range from between £36k and £39k, which is an awful lot for a hot '1. Especially when you can pick up a CT favourite for less; a factory fresh BMW M135i costs £30k!

9. Eagle E-Type Speedster

Sometimes, we want a car only for the way it looks. And the Eagle Speedster is one of the prettiest-looking cars ever. Powering this beautifully refurbished classic is a 4.7-litre straight-6 with 330hp.

Downsides, however, include that £600,000 price tag. That's 600 big ones for a car that doesn't even have a roof, which means that you can only use it on a decent summer's day - and those occur rarely on our little island...

8. Caparo T1

(NetCarShow)

An F1-style track day car that's road legal? Hell yes, we want one of those. The bonkers two-seater has a mid-mounted 3.5-litre V8 that kicks out 575hp. The car's weight? 470kg. That gives it a power-to-weight ratio of 1223hp per tonne! 0-62mph is covered in just 2.5 seconds and the Caparo tops out at 205mph.

When we say this car is road legal though, you'd have to be braver than Chuck Norris to even consider using it for commuting. Low weight and super slicks make this an unwieldy beast on anything other than a dry race track. Another reason you're unlikely to own one is because there are only 16 in existence.

7. Lexus LFA

(Envyd.com)

This is Lexus' first attempt at a supercar, and I think we're all in agreement when we say well done, Lexus. The revvy 552hp 4.8-litre V10 has a one-of-a-kind soundtrack and 0-62mph is dispatched in 4.2 seconds. Flat out, you're looking at 202mph. Everyday usability isn't an issue thanks to the LFA's comparatively good all-round visibility.

The problem with LFA ownership comes when you meet a Nissan GTR, a car that's four times cheaper and 0.7sec quicker to 62mph. A £176,000 Mclaren 12C is also faster to 62mph and has a higher top speed of 207mph.

With a £343,000 price tag - that's thanks to its lightweight carbonfibre body - there are only 500 LFAs in existence, of which every car now has an owner.

6. Lamborghini Reventon

(NetCarShow)

Think of the Reventon as a mid-way evolution between the Murcielago and the Aventador. It's pretty much a Mercy underneath (6.5-litre V12, 631hp, 211mph top speed), but unique touches include carbonfibre fin alloys that channel air to cool the brakes as well as a digital dashboard styled to look just like the one you get on a fighter jet.

The chances of owning this car though are near as makes no difference zero. Only 20 were sold to the public at a price of £800,000 a piece. The Aventador is much cheaper, readily available and better in every aspect also. But that's so mainstream compared to this!

5. Porsche Carrera GT

Until the 918 Spyder hits the roads, this remains the coolest Porsche in the world. It has a 5.7-litre V10 engine that produces 612hp and possesses a kerb weight of just under 1.4 tonnes. That makes it capable of covering the sprint to 62mph from standstill in 3.5 seconds and you'll see 205mph from it too. The cogs in the V10 engine are swapped using a clutch pedal and a beachwood gear lever instead of the lightning speed, PDK fancy stuff.

Like most of the other cars on this list, supply is much lower than demand and only 1270 were made between 2004 and 2007. Early cars still cost as much as £230,000. 

4. Mercedes CLK GTR

(World Car Fans)

Want an FIA GT racer to go to the supermarket in? Mercedes was only too happy to oblige. The GTR is nothing like the normal CLK as it has scissor doors and a 6.9-litre V12 where the back seats would be. The engine kicks out 604hp - around 100hp more than the AMG Black version - which gives it a 0-62mph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 199mph.

Mercedes only made 20 coupe versions and 6 convertibles between 1998 and 1999 at a (then) record breaking road car price of $1,547,620. The last time these one-of-a-kind Mercs were purchased was in 2009 at an auction in London. The coupe version fetched £522,500 and the convertible got £616,000. Even if you have megabucks, you have to wait until one is auctioned again before you'll see it in your garage.

3. Pagani Huayra

(uncrate.com)

Pagani's latest monster has a twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre V12 made by AMG. It has 730 metric horses under its bonnet which makes it capable of getting to 60mph from stationery in just 3.3 seconds. With the pedal to the metal it can reach 230mph. The car's light weight is thanks to a chassis made from something called carbotanium, which is a word that makes us go weak at the knees.

Carbotainium and all the other exotic materials the car uses do cost a pretty penny though; we're talking just over £1 million! Even if you have the cash spare, the waiting list is three and a half years long. That's a queue we couldn't cope with.

2. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

(Digital Trends)

It still retains the Guinness World Record for the most powerful and fastest production car ever, thanks to 1200hp and a top speed of 267mph. Acceleration is so brutal that it covers 0-60mph in just 2.4 seconds. Even with all this rocket power, the Bug is still as comfortable as a Bentley.

If you want to join the Super Sport owners club though, you'll need to write out a cheque for £1.6 million. Once you've purchased it, depreciation will be steeper than the corkscrew on Laguna Seca and you can't go anywhere near the Super Sport's top speed unless you live near an autobahn or a runway longer than the one in the new Fast & Furious flick.

1. Ferrari F40

(whatsupd.com)

It's been hailed as the greatest supercar of all time. Why? Well, it's not because of the power, as figures are not that impressive compared to most of the cars above. It only has a 2.9-litre V8 which kicks out 478hp. But because it weighs only 1.1 tonnes it can cover 0-62mph in 4.1 seconds and can go up to a top speed of 201mph. Weight saving is thanks to the fact the body is carbonfibre and there's not a single bit of luxury trim inside, not even electric windows or a carpet. It's just you, pedals, steering wheel and a five-speed manual gearbox. Heaven...

Only 1315 were built between 1987 and 1992, which means one in mint condition will set you back around £300,000.

So there we have it - 10 cars we're unlikely to drive, let alone own. But we can all dream...
