Basically it's a F1 car with a different body
V10 engina, 3.5liters, 800hp, and auto tranny of 6 gears and 520 ft-lbs of torque, and voilá!
an espace that can kick a ferrari's ass

I saw this car in the metal at goodwood festival of speed a few years ago, they started it up there too!! What a sound!
It wasnt running the active suspension they designed it with, but normal coilovers which made it handle like a pig! Entertaining to watch! :D
You wouldnt believe how low down the engine is in the chassis, when i first peered into the boot, i thought it wasnt a real one, then i looked down and saw the inlet manifold at about my knee level!!!!!!!
Mad car.

I'm not sure of it but I remember they made it to replace pace car in F1. Sure it's a bit faster than a clk :lol:
