Ferrari
The Fast & Furious... No, I'm not referring to this May's sixth installment in the Vin Diesel/Paul Walker action film series. However, I am talking about exotic, street-legal supercars here...which would be the new Lamborghini Veneno and Ferrari's LaFerrari hybrid. Both rides, other than being extremely fast on the road, will be pretty darn expensive—with the Veneno having a price tag of $3.9 million (only three were built; all of them are already sold) and the LaFerrari's cost most likely hovering in the seven-figure range as well. In terms of speed, the Veneno is a 750-horsepower beaut that cruises down the street at a top speed of 220 mph (with an acceleration rate of zero to 62 mph in just 2.8 seconds), while the LaFerrari has staggering 949 horsepower and a top speed of more than 217 mph. It will be able to accelerate from zero to 62 mph in less than three seconds, zero to 124 mph in about seven seconds, and zero to 186 mph in 15 seconds. Not bad for a supercar that's also a hybrid (electric motors add an additional 161 horsepower to the LaFerrari's V-12 engine, while its batteries weigh only 132 pounds and recharge whenever the automobile brakes).

Unlike the Veneno, there will be LaFerraris built for exactly 499 lucky (RE: wealthy-ass) buyers. But if there's one advantage that the Veneno has over its Ferrari counterpart, it's that it could take the DeLorean's place in a would-be reboot of Back to the Future (not to give a studio hack who's reading this any ideas). Just look at the pics posted directly above and below. This Lamborghini can either play a time machine or a Decepticon in a movie. Transformers 4 does come out in theaters next year.
