Feature: Super Car Gallery One Big Photo Op

It was hard to get pictures of the cars arrayed in the Super Car Gallery at the Chicago Auto Show. You had to be a very patient shutterbug and wait out all of the folks taking “selfies” and photos of their friends sitting in a RollsRoyce, a Lamborghini or a Bugatti. Not everyone can own one of the World Class machines on display, but while they are at the show, they can sit in one.

Each car exhibited was identified by a sign telling the price and the size of the engine or how fast the car should go. The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 goes out the door for a mere $504,115, including the 6.5-liter V-12. That compares to $292,025 for the Huracan LP610-4 sold by the same automaker. This storming supercar uses a 5.2-liter V-10 for power and claims a top speed of 202 mph. Zero-to-62 mph takes 3.2 seconds.

There was also a pair of Rolls Royce in the Gallery. The sportier Wraith was $367,275 and relies on a 6.6-liter Twin Turbo V-12 for motivation, Though not made for a drag strip, the Wraith can do 0-to-60 in 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph. The white Rolls Ghost Series III ($329,590) also uses a 6.6-liter V-12 and tops out at 155 mph. Zero-to-60 takes 4.7 seconds though.

The black Ferrari was an FF with a $295,000 window sticker. It gets its oomph from a 6.3-liter V-12 that puts out 651 hp. That equates to a 3.7 second 0-to-60 time and a top speed of 208 mph. The much prettier red Ferrari California T had a folding top and a 3.9-liter Twin Turbo V-8 good for 550 hp. It did 0-to-60 in 3.5 seconds and 198 mph all out. The price tag was $198,973,

The lowest priced car in the Gallery was a Lotus Evora IPS 2+2 that you could buy for just $69,980. It was motivated by a 3.5-liter V-6 that made 276 hp. The 0-to-60 was 5 seconds and top speed was 159 mph. Not too far away was the most expensive—and most photographed car—the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. Price: $2,625,000. Engine: W16 16.4-liter Quad Turnocharged. Horsepower: 1200. 0-to-60: 2.0 seconds. Top speed: 255 mph.
