Buy a Supercar for a Smidge Over $100K

barnard supercar
The Barnard is a supercar born and bred in South Africa by its namesake, Chris Barnard, a man who dreamed of building a Le Mans style race car. With a chassis made from high-tech steel and a body that is composed mostly of composite material, the Barnard definitely has the structure of a race car. Couple that with a 617 hp Porsche V8 engine, and you have a car capable of going 0-100 km/h in under four seconds and topping out at over 300 km/h (we were to lazy to convert those stats to mph...needless to say the car is quick). Also following in the race car tradition, the Barnard doesn't have power steering, anti-lock brakes or electronic windows. In our opinion, the best part of this car is the expected $110,000 price tag which puts it in the same price range as a well equipped Porsche 911S.
