I know various ferrari's etc have probably been suggested over and over, but, I wanted to put forward some reasoning. These are my reasons why we might want a hyper car variation in lfs. the improvement suggestions forum is here to keep the flood of car requests and requests for the blindingly obivous off the main forum, so if they're allowed, I hope you can tollerate this lot too:
The case for a hyper car.
I was thinking to myself should I win the lottery, I would most definately buy some sort of F430 Scuderia, or if I really won, a Reventon or a Veyron. The thing I was thinking is, you can't really race those cars, aside from a gentle cock around in a track day, because, repairing them is pretty impossible, and they cost so much, and are of such rarity and beauty, only a complete eedjit would drive it in a manor leading to its broken-ness.
So this is why they sit in museums and peoples garages etc. Fair enough.
Live for speed has no drawbacks on cars with repair/fuel/purchase costs...
I put forward the need for something around 6 litres, about 600bhp, and 500lb-ft, 1600kg ish stunning bodywork, advanced driving "aids" (read on, more stop you spinning like a top but prevent you from being more than 2s close to the pace). AWD, maximum 20% power to front wheels. With driving aids off, 100% RWD.
Once the engine modelling has been sorted, there will be naturally be a giant difference in the behaviours of the engine - one in which the experience of driving something that powerful naturally aspirated, will be truly excellent.
I was also thinking about the gadgetry present in all of these top end cars. I feel the traction control systems (road, sport, race, off) could prove a good introduction for newer drivers to fast cars with no (significant - read wings) downforce, the traction control would have to be realistic in how early it starts shuffling torque around, and we would need proper TC making use of braking individual wheels, as well as the "power cut" stuff we have now. This would allow the less competant drivers in the field to provide some small competition to the faster drivers, who can squeeze the last of the car by switch off the TC (tc probably knocking 2s off the pace on an average lap compared to the front of the pack, but allowing slower drivers to be faster than they would normally be, so they don't hold up the field).
Their light weight, massively wide tyres, and rediculous speed would breed interesting racing tactics.
We don't have a truly mid-engined car.
Lastly, there's the potential for it to look incredible. I know looks are not everything, but, if they didn't have some input, there wouldn't be any point in making the fz5 look as nice as it does. Nor would PGR4 sell as much as it does if it was using ugly cars, naff braketurn physics aside.

. Other cars like F40 that me accepts are the TVRs, although most of them are (said to be) awfully twitchy or some of the american hi-power cars. Something with loads of power, 5 or 6 manual gears, engine on the front or middle, rear wheel drive and 2 seats. And no slicks
