15 Dream Rides You'd Buy, Money No Object

We've all been asked the near-unanswerable question: if you had all the money in the world, what one car would you buy yourself? Our answer is easy; the Singer 911. On the outside you get all the old-school cool of a 964-generation 911, but with modern internals that'll ensure it drives sweetly and won't break down.

When we extended that question to you on Facebook, you selected an eclectic mix of metal. Below are the 15 cars which were named most as the dream car of choice. Take a look and be sure to comment with your dream ride!

BMW E30 M3

As far as iconic cars go, there aren't many more legendary than the BMW E30 M3. The car that took the fight to the Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 'Cosworth' on the race track and the road, it's still held up as an incredible driver's car. The early ones made 189bhp, and the bodywork was aerodynamically efficient thanks to an aggressive bodykit and bulging arches.

Caterham Seven 620R

While most of you went for classics or hypercars, a few chose this: a tiny Caterham with an immense amount of power. The Caterham 620R is quite frankly bonkers. The 2.0-litre supercharged Ford engine forces 311bhp through the rear wheels, which gives the 620R a 0-60mph time of just 2.79sec.

Eagle E-Type Low Drag GT

Eagle is to the Jaguar E-Types what Singer is to the 911. Taking a classic E-Type and bringing it into the 21st Century is a potentially sacrilegious business, but the Low Drag GT is a testament to Eagle's expertise. Based on a trio of low drag E-Type coupes built in the 60s, it gets a modernised version of Jag's inline-six. Made from aluminium and bored out to 4.7-litres, it makes 341bhp.

Ferrari 250 GTO

The 250 is a classic Ferrari shape, and in GTO form it reached its pinnacle of performance. GTO stands for 'Gran Turismo Omologato,' explaining the fact that it was produced for homolgation purposes, allowing Ferrari to go racing. Only 39 were produced, and owners had to be personally vetted by Enzo Ferrari himself prior to purchase. Last year someone bought one for an incredible $52 million.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Fastback

Made famous as 'Eleanor' in the movie Gone In Sixty Seconds, the GT500 is an all-American muscle car hero. Under that long hood is a whopping 7.0-litre V8, fettled by Carroll Shelby to make 330bhp.

Ferrari F40

The Ferrari F40 is the definition of functional beauty. It takes weight saving to the extreme, meaning that the 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8's 465bhp is a potent figure, even by today's standards. Built to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary, it was the last car to have its production overseen by Enzo Ferrari.

Honda NSX-R

The NSX was Honda's attempt to take on the might of established supercar manufacturers in Europe. Despite its supercar pretensions, the engineers made compromises to make it usable daily. The Type-R version on the other hand did away with everything that wasn't necessary; sound deadening and the spare tyre were among the items ditched in the name of weight saving, and lightweight Enkei alloys were fitted. The quoted power figure for the 3.2-litre V6 was 276bhp, though road-testers at the time insisted it made a lot more, making 0-62mph in under 5 seconds a possibility.

Jaguar XJ220

Only 275 of these supercars were ever produced. It was the fastest production car when it went on sale, with a top speed of 213mph. Despite the impressive figures, many buyers decided to cancel their orders thanks in part to the 1990s recession, and the fact that its specifications changed drastically between concept and production. Namely, the concept's V12 was ditched in favour of a turbocharged V6, and it ended up being rear-wheel drive, rather than four. Still, it looks incredible and is an analogue beast to handle.

Koenigsegg Agera R

In a list dominated by classics, the Agera R's modern aerodynamic design stands out, as does its searing performance. Running on biofuel, it produces 1124bhp, allowing it to hit 186mph in less than 15 seconds. Unlike many other hypercars, the rear wing is not mechanically operated. It uses the pressure of the wind at high speed to force the wing downwards, reducing drag.

Lamborghini Miura SV

The SV is the most famous of the Miura range. It got an uprated version of the standard car's 3.9-litre V12, which bumped power up from 345bhp to 375bhp. It also received fat rear tyres with wider arches to fit them in. Only 150 were made.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

The Sesto Elemento is one of the most uncompromised cars on this list. Taking the 562bhp 5.2-litre V10 from the Gallardo and fitting it inside a car that weighs less than a supermini (999kg) was always going to be awesome. The fact it also gets four-wheel drive means that it can launch off the line at a ludicrous pace, and has phenomenal grip levels in the corners. Just 20 of these track-only weapons were made, so they're pretty damn exclusive.

Lancia Stratos

With all this talk of heroic cars, it's no surprise that this iconic rally car is here. Designed by Bertone, the Stratos dominated the World Rally Championship in the late '70s and early '80s. Fewer than 500 of these Ferrari-engined beasts were ever made.

McLaren F1

Gordon Murray's legendary supercar had to make an appearance in this list. Powered by a 6.1-litre BMW V12, it made 618bhp. It has a drag coefficient lower than many modern supercars. Murray's attention to detail was staggering, and he pioneered technology that wouldn't make its way into the mainstream for many years. It was the first car to feature a carbonfibre monocoque, and used gold foil to reduce heat in the engine bay. All this combined to give the F1 an incredible 243mph top speed.

Nissan Skyline KPGC110 GT-R

The 1972 GT-R was only ever sold in Japan and its production run was cut short thanks to the oil crisis that saw demand for sports cars decline rapidly (only 197 were sold). The Skyline was powered by a 158bhp 2.0-litre straight-six making. It's an incredibly rare car and naturally very sought after.

Pagani Zonda R

Speaking of rare, this is the Zonda R, of which only 15 were produced. The Zonda has spawned endless special editions, but the R is arguably the coolest. It's a track-only beast, using a 6.0-litre V12 sourced from the Merc CLK-GTR race car. 730bhp powers a lightweight carbonfibre body, festooned with incredible aero trickery.
