Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has a valuable collection of supercars while Genesis drummer (and solo artist) Phil Collins has no interest in supercars (but is active in charity/fundraising and collects Alamo artifacts.)
If you had a lot of money, would you buy a supercar, and if so, which one or ones?
Would you drive it, or keep it in pristine condition in a museum?

I like to discuss amongst some friends, what cars we would have in our dream garrage if we won the euro millions lottery. I always pick the Bugatti Veyron, Koeniggsegg CCX, and a McClaren F1. and the last 2 are usually some classic or novelty cars, but as we are discussing supercars, my last 2 would be a Gumpert Apollo and a Ferrari Enzo

Bugatti Veyron
Koeniggsegg CCX
McClaren F1
Gumpert Apollo
Ferrari Enzo
I like the Koenigsegg CCX and love the McLaren F1.
Never heard of a Gumpert Apollo, but it looks exciting.
Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari Enzo don't appeal to me at all.
The F1 is probably my favorite, although I find it kind of awkward getting into the driver's sear. I like some Ferrari and also wouldn't mind a Lambo.
For something to actually drive, I would choose something a bit below a supercar that is more practical and reliable and doesn't attract attention... most likely a Porsche 911 GT3 or 911 Turbo, or an Audi R8.

1921 Rolls Canardly

Absolutely no question and no competition: the McLaren F1. I would drive it daily, but keep it in good condition.
The center-positioned driver layout combined with the gearbox, stance and horsepower of that car create a truly unique driving experience.
I think of it less like getting into a vehicle that I control and more like becoming a different type of animal for a while, experiencing the world in a completely different and amazing way.

Tesla roadster. Fully electric roadster that can go 300 miles on a single charge. Using NO oil with an annual cost of about 200 dollars. Not bad.
And of course the batmobile

My fav supercar would have to be the Ford GT

Aston Martin DB9
Lamborghini Reventon
Lamborghini Gayado
McLaren F1
Bugatti Veyron

When I hear Supercar, I think something along the lines of K.I.T.T.. My favorite from the Knight Rider franchise would probably be Dante (from TKR, call me a blasphemer), though.
As for real-life high-power vehicles, little interest.
