Our favorite cool car at the moment has to be the Morgan Aero Supersports. An old-school 4 wheeler with an aircraft-quality aluminum body is the car to be driving.
Designed to celebrate Morgan’s 100th birthday, the new Aero SuperSport is based on the company’s Eight GT3 and packs a BMW-sourced 4.8-liter V8 engine.
Although the British supercar is focused on amazing performance, the stylish interior and its wooden furnishings and hand stitched leather shouldn’t be neglected in any way.
Priced at some £127,000 ($185,000 at today’s rate), the exquisite Morgan Aero SuperSports will be produced in early 2010, but you can already reserve one for £25,000 (some $36,000)

Collection of cool Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sports cars including a few concept cars thrown in for good measure. Hope you like them!
The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has got to me one of my favorite cars but they are very hard to get hold of and I can imagine the car insurance would be eye watering, not to mention the petrol consumption!
A cool collection of vintage cars on one mans drive! The collection includes a Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Chevelle, Dodge Coronet Lancer and Pontiac Trans Am amongst other classics. It defies the credit crunch and is a petrol heads dream! Check it out!
Cristiano Ronaldo has been photographed behind the wheel of a £200,000 Ferrari 599GTB – six months after he was involved in a crash in a Manchester tunnel. The picture shows the Portuguese star, who is sunning himself in the Algarve, driving a red 599 from the Tires Aerodrome near Cascais in the west of his native country.
He landed in Portugal on a private jet after spending the last fortnight in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. After landing, he jumped straight into the Ferrari, which is the same colour as his old model that suffered serious frontal damage when it hit a roadside barrier in a Manchester airport tunnel in January. Representatives for the winger declined to comment on whether Ronaldo was the owner of the £200,000 supercar.
