Coolest cars of 08, part 1

Fortune's Sue Callaway picks the fastest, best performing and good looking sports cars and takes them to the track.

Hi, I'm Sue Callaway, car columnist of Fortune Magazine. And I am here at the Las Vegas motor's speedway to test the coolest cars of 08.


The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, the flagship of the company in Maranello. Ironically Ferrari says that this car is the one out of the three they made that is not suitable for the track. But performance was, this car stands up with the rest of them here today. It's got incredible power from a very smooth D12 and an amazing new gearbox. Lots of great balance in fact this car feels more eager than a lot of the cars here. And with this, Ferrari introduced a new customization program, you can personalize just about anything you want on this car, this particular one has over 100,000 dollars with special touches on it. All and all, the sound, the smell, the beauty, a Ferrari truly is greater than the some of these cars.


The Aston Martin DBS certainly has to win one of the beauty awards in our top coolest cars. It's a big gorgeous talkeepowerful grand touring car, probably a little unfair to put on a tight road course like this, although it handled aberbly. But this is a car for the big open road. And frankly, for a lifestyle, that's the highest and the James Bond and the most of all of looks could kill, this one is license.


I suppose I shouldn't be surprised driving each of the coolest cars to think that the next one may just be the coolest. This, the Tesla wins on a lot of measures. It is the first electric sports car to hit the market. But that isn't the only thing impresses about it, it's impressive because it’s an amazing sports car period, it's balanced, it's precise, it's the best, it's capable. And when you shut the traction control off, you can slide it around like the best of them, thanks to a thousand pounds of battery in the rear. This is the future and it's here.
