Supercar with 'soul' F1

The word supercar makes you dream. Soon come to the imagination models with overwhelming powers and performances, works of art with wheels and steering wheel that are within reach of few, very few ... or at least away from the hands of most of us.
Over the years many models have been developed with the emphasis on supercars and among them some propelled with engines derived directly from Formula 1, something that further depletes our imagination and its degree of exclusivity.
In this sense, know some examples with an F1 heart going through the gallery above or seeing the topics below. There is the note, there may be surprises ...
