Top Marques - the Fingerprint Scanner


Notice the fingerprint scanner - the small photo shows it more clearly. That's what you have to use to get this Territo Ayrton S to start.

The Ayrton S is completely built by hand. With 627 hp and 1050 kg the maximum speed is over 330 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100km/h is just 3 seconds. Very much a collector's car. Cost: 352,000 euros.

  1. This one is a little too "high tech" for me.

  2. While I usually talk to Glenda about your photos and posts, I will need to call attention to your website for my "gearhead" son.

  3. I don't know. Looks like it might be a little hard to park.

  4. At that price, I'd be too afraid to drive it!

  5. The door. What is with the door? That would knock my overhead garage door opener off! Otherwise, I'd buy it! :)

  6. Hope it works better than the fingerprint scanner I have to use to enter my office... Tells me 'goodbye Alicia', every time I actually come in!

  7. Read this from the New Scientist (thanks Alex) - about a man who had his finger chopped off so thieves could start his car!

  8. I think that I'd rather give up a set of keys than my finger! ewwwww! :-)

    As if I could even THINK of owning a car of this caliber! A VW Beetle is my speed, sorry.

  10. I'm not sure I'd like one. I panic sometimes over key my fob and whether I've locked the door properly. As you say I'd be worried about losing my finger.
