Editors' Choice, Dream Car: 2004 Porsche Carrera GT

If money were not an issue, what would we drive?

The numbers are numbing: 0 to 100 in less than seven seconds. Zero to 60 in 3.8 seconds. More than 600 horsepower from a V10, which really isn't the best thing about the vehicle. What is, perhaps, is the use of ceramics in constructing the brakes and clutch, the use of carbon fiber to keep the weight down, especially in relation to its monocoque chassis. The Carrera GT weighs in at a scant 3,043 lbs, which gives it a handling pedigree to match the V10 power plant.

Of course, hitting 204 mph on the speedometer is pretty nice. Design-wise, the Carrera GT is a sleek, smooth Porsche with a mid-engine architecture and large air intakes and side outlets in front of and behind the doors. Porsche plans to build just 1500 - and surely, most have already been spoken for. Pricing is a firm $440,000, so you can go ahead and keep dreaming.
