The World’s Top Sports Cars

I’ve never understood why manufacturers think that marketing cars with half naked women draped across the hoods is an appealing idea. For me, that type of marketing ploy is an insult…to the car. There are few things sexier than a sleek sports car that has been decked out with top-of-the-line details, powerful engines and a plethora of other appealing options. They can stand on their own merits. They shouldn’t have any distractions in their ad campaigns. Though few of us could ever afford most of these cars, ownership is among our top fantasies. When asked what you might buy if you won the lottery, any one of these stunning machines could top the list.
