So just in case you missed it, we did do a part one to the series of the 20 supercars that you needed to know about. So be sure to check out number one first, but to begin number 11 we have the Ferrari Manza. What do you think about this Ferrari? It’s cool looking.
So it has a windscreen-less speedster. There is a guy in town who actually owns one and I talked to him about it and he was on the Ferrari rally that I went on a few months back and he said that it’s a fun car to drive but you almost have to wear a helmet when driving it because it doesn’t have a windshield. That’s interesting.
So like you get hit with rocks and bugs and but he said that it’s super super fast. Number 12 we have the Gordon Murray T50. What are your thoughts on this? I love that car.
I love that car. So that car is basically the McLaren F1 which is every car guy’s dream car. They’re worth like 15-20 million dollars now.
They took that idea of a literally the design, the engine, the transmission, the driver sitting in the middle and then you have two passenger seats on each side of you from the McLaren F1 and they modernized it into a car that doesn’t cost 15 million dollars. I love that car. I love that car.
Number 13 we have the Porsche. Now I know you don’t really like 911 turbos but 13 we have a Porsche 911 Turbo S. What are your thoughts on this? That is like my, I call it my one car solution dream car. So that is like if I had to have one car for the rest of my life that’s what it would be because they’re all-wheel drive so you can drive them in the snow.
They are so fast from the factory but you can modify them and you can reliably get more power out of them and they’re reliable. I mean you can put 250-300 thousand miles on one and they
just they don’t break. They’re like the Toyota Camry of supercars and that will be a car that’s in our garage someday.
I’m excited. I’m looking forward to that day. What color would you do? Miami blue with yellow accents.
So yellow brake calipers and then yellow stitching on the interior with a black interior. Number 14 we have the Aston Martin V12 Speedster. I know nothing about that car.
In fact I did not know that anything like that existed. The only thing that I can say about it is I think they would run into the same issue that you would run into with the Ferrari Monza. No windshield so you would have to wear a full face helmet to drive it.
I had a really good friend in Wichita who had an Ariel Atom which is essentially it’s the same idea and we took that car to Oklahoma City from Wichita and it was the most miserable drive ever because you’re getting hit with bugs. You’ve just got wind hitting you in the face. It was awful.
Really fast and I’m sure it would have been a lot of fun on a track but driving out on the highway when you’ve got semis kicking rocks up at you. I have no desire to own something like that. Number 15 we have the Hennessey Venom F5.
Yep so my good friend John Hennessey built that car. I’m actually friends with the owner of Hennessey. You know John is like the to me he’s like the American dream.
He’s a guy from Texas who just started modifying cars at a young age and wanted to keep modifying cars to go faster and faster and faster and he’s kind of like the younger generation of Carroll Shelby. Just a racing fanatic and so he created the Hennessey Venom F5 and then before that they did the Venom GT and I was lucky enough I was in Houston at TX2K in 2017 and we were hanging out with him in League City and he was in town delivering a Hennessey Venom GT to a client who just spent a million dollars. I think these are two million but the Venom GT was a million and I didn’t know this at the time but the guy who took delivery of this car that I was standing shoulder to shoulder with was the lead singer of Aerosmith.
No way! Tyler? Steven Tyler? Yep Steven Tyler. Wow that’s so cool. I didn’t know and then the group of people were like do you know who that was and I was like some tall guy with long hair like Steven Tyler.
So John Hennessey he’s he’s a legend and I’m pretty honored to to know him and talk to him every couple months so. That is so cool. Yeah.
At number 16 we have the Seizinger 21C. I have never heard of that car before. I have no idea what that I mean it looks cool.
It looks like it’s done with a 3D printer. Yeah it looks like a it honestly looks like a street legal GT1 car but yeah I mean I don’t I know nothing about it. Looks like here it’s got a 2.9 liter engine making 1200 horsepower.
That’s pretty crazy. Number 17 with a McLaren Alva. Another guy in town that owns one of those.
Same thing with the Monza and the Aston Martin V12 Speedster. I’m just not a fan of those cars that don’t have a windshield. I don’t think that you can enjoy something like that.
Like I want a car that I can hop in it and if I want to drive it to California or New York I can get in and drive it and fit some luggage and be comfortable and that would suck. Number 18 we have the Koenigsegg Jesko. Thank you.
That is one of my all-time dream cars. I’ve never ridden in a Koenigsegg. I’ve never driven one.
I’ve only ever seen one Koenigsegg in my life. But I think that they are like the best looking car in the world and Christian von Koenigsegg is he’s he’s like you know everyone talks about how Elon Musk is this just incredible engineer. I think Christian von Koenigsegg is like the Elon Musk of cars because he’s he just he took he took the hyper car world by storm and I mean that car goes 310 miles an hour.
Wow. Which is crazy to think about. Number 19 with a Ferrari SF90 Stradale.
I drove one of those on the rally. I remember that guy did that private jet for. That’s what he had on the rally was an SF90.
So they are I think they’re really underappreciated. I think that when Ferrari came out with the SF90 because it was a million dollar car everyone was expecting it to be like the LaFerrari and when it wasn’t people were very disappointed but I mean I think it’s it’s an insane car. One of my clients whose car I was working with today.
One of your Kansas City car detailing clients? Yes one of my Kansas City car detailing clients actually has one of those on order right now. So that is so cool. Number 20 last car on the list is a McLaren 720S.
You’re hearing it now from me. I think this is one of the best supercars ever made. I’ve worked on a lot of these.
They are for the money wicked fast. I know a couple people that own them. I’ve driven a couple of them and it how much do you think that car costs by looking at it? One or two million.
You can buy one of those for about 180,000. No way. Yeah and they are wicked wicked fast.
The people that own them that I know have told me you know they have little quirky issues like wiring issues that you got to get sorted out but that’s definitely one on my list to own someday. So if somebody is wanting to get in the queue to work with you for a Kansas City car detailing
package how do they get a hold of you? You can give me a call at 620-282-0402 or you can go online to bespoke refinement.com and you can check out all of the different Kansas City car detailing services that we offer.
