It sucks being a rich dude these days. All these cars to choose from, each trying to wink at you in its own way, lots of decisions, decisions, decisions. So let’s say you had unlimited funds. What would you pick? The T.50 or the Valk?

Why not pick both?

For starters, it’s small and light. Then, you’ve got the central driving position and the n/a V-12 engine mounted in the middle of the car, plus the likes of manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.

That said, the T.50 doesn’t put forward stellar figures. Heck, you can get more power from a family sedan these days if you really want to, as the T.50 is good for ‘just’ 654 horses and 344 pound-feet of torque.

In the other corner, the Aston Martin Valkyrie is trying to redefine extreme. It, too, packs a Cosworth n/a V-12 but it’s aided by an e-motor to produce 1,160 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, which is double the numbers put out by the T.50.

Needless to say, the Aston Martin is more high-maintenance than the T.50 due to its track-oriented nature - although it’s just as street legal as Gordon Murray’s creation. They both cost an arm and a leg, so if money wasn’t a problem, what would be your weapon of choice? We’d take both, thank you very much.
