When the folks at World Class Driving asked Playboy.com to try out their supercar driving program, it didn't take long to convince us. The statistics alone had us packing our bags. The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, for instance, has a top speed of more than 200 miles an hour. The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera has a 530-horsepower V10, and there are fewer than 100 Ferrari 599 GTB Fioranos in the United States. Then there's the Ferrari F430, inspired by the automaker's Formula 1 race cars, and the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, a convertible that does 192 mph. If you were to buy all five cars, the bill would come to something like $1.6 million.

But reading stats about these exotic cars and actually taking them out on the road are as different from each other as browsing the Playmate Review and taking all the girls to bed. Our photographer Jay Boersma put it best: "Before I got into these cars I couldn't see any reason to spend $1,495 to drive them. Now I can't see any reason not to."

Hop in the passenger seat for a tour of supercar nirvana.
