Today we begin a new series. If you're a car fan and you're on Reddit, you'd have to be living under a rock to have not heard of r/Spotted (https://www.reddit.com/r/spotted/). The reddit is for those cars that you spot and you just want to share them for everyone else to see. I'll be profiling the top 10 of this month according to Reddit's TOP function. I won't be sharing pictures of the exact car, but I'll put the link in for each car so you can see each of them in their true glory. Let's get into it.
10. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI TME
The TME was a special edition released in 2000 to celebrate Tommi Makinen's WRC victory, and it is still popular as a retro classic today. User JPDLD spotted this car in Vallouise, France, and it is definitely a good option for the snow-covered roads that that area has in winter.
9. Lancia Delta HF Integrale
(https://www.reddit.com/r/spotted/comments/erus68/lancia_delta_hf_integrale_at_a_car_service_shop_a/)
This car is for sale at the same sport where original poster KubboGaming saw it for 61000 euros. The Delta HF Integrale, like the TME, is a vintage rally car but it's from the post-Group B era rather than the Group A like the TME. It's such a brilliant car, and deserves to rank eight.
8. Toyota Supra
(https://www.reddit.com/r/spotted/comments/euszmj/first_new_supra_ive_seen_on_the_streets_around/)
The new Supra has obviously ranked highly before as it wasn't officially released but this sort of tastefully modified example will probably continue to chart for some time. User 911DougM got some hate for this car, which was spotted at Tampa Bay, but that is mostly due to manufacturer bias and it's a beautiful car.
7. Tesla Model 3
This very modified Model 3 is another controversial car (this time because of the powertrain rather than fangirls) but it's a extremely clean build that merits its place on the list. User TurboSeth spotted the bagged car outside Portland. The car can be found at https://www.instagram.com/baggedmodel3/ for more pictures, if you wish to. It's a very nice car.
6. Maserati MC12
The MC12 is renowned as a high-end luxury supercar, at least in road for; the track version is renowned for being fast and grippy. This car was spotted somewhat surprisingly in Toronto by user HMS_BeIlfast. The real car is based on the Ferrari Enzo and created for the purposes of promoting the Maserati brand and winning the GT1 World Championship. I've done an article on the car before; check it out under the 'Under the Hood' tab at the top.
5. McLaren Senna
(https://www.reddit.com/r/spotted/comments/ekg1n3/a_mclaren_senna_outside_bloomingdales_in_nyc_why/)
The Senna is one of the best hypercars of the recent era, and it deserved to be on the list as soon as a good pic was taken. This picture was taken by Redditor iSchwarted who commented that he didn't understand why the car was being driven in New York City. A very understandable comment to make.
4. Ferrari F40
(https://www.reddit.com/r/spotted/comments/etswff/ferrari_f40_in_dublin/)
User Adabadah spotted the beautiful F40 in Dublin. Several other users added more on this exact car in the comments, including that it was imported in 2015 with under 200km on the clock and that it's the only one in Ireland. I've seen the same car three times, which I can assume is the only one in Brisbane. Truly a brilliant car, and it's *the* 1980's car. Unless you want to suggest the 60 Series Land Cruiser.
3. Ford GT
(https://www.reddit.com/r/spotted/comments/ep5ig6/caught_this_ford_gt_stopped_at_a_red_light/)
The GT in 2006 really changed the supercar game by being the first to the retro party, along with the Mustang. Ford set the trend for the Camaro, Dodge's muscle cars and also for cars like the Bugatti Centodieci. This car, spotted by Redditor QS10237, is a Gulf throwback livery giving it double livery points. The spot gets even more brownie points in my opinion for the lovely blue Chevelle next to it.
2. 918 and Chiron
(https://www.reddit.com/r/spotted/comments/ekx1g5/chiron_and_918_bad_bug_and_spyder_problem_in_this/)
In second is a truly awe-inspiring duo of the Porsche 918 and Bugatti Chiron. Both of these are hypercar class leaders and they deserve to be together. User MarkiDXB saw these and said that there is a bug and spider problem where they are. Haha.
1. Vector (https://www.reddit.com/r/spotted/comments/ei8kf4/vector_my_parents_neighbor_doesnt_let_it_leave/)
Getting in by six hours (posted at 7am Jan 1 in AEDT), the Vector got enough up-votes to make the top spot. The original poster, Ducati0411, says that the car is his parents' neighbour's. The Vector was a rather unknown American supercar, but it definitely deserves to be ranked along with the F50 which is similar in design. It gets top spot of January 2020!
