This car is really insane!! Has to be the most mental road car ever built... but I'm loving it :D

looks like fun, but what's that popping sound when he up-shifts?

It could be unburned petrol in the exhaust.

Sweet. But where's the version of the car with the fighter jet cockpit?

Maybe pagani's right, but to me it sounds more like it's coming from the sequential gearbox, when another straight cut gear is banged into its place. You'll hear the same "cloink" when selecting a next gear on a motorcycle or racing car.

According to EVO mag, the glass canopy is an option on the car. It's said to drop the car's drag coefficient by a few points and raises the claimed top speed from 187 to 205 mph. However, the canopy also has a negative effect on the downforce and it can make the cabine almost unbearably hot on sunny days. That's why a small and efficient air-con system is available for people who insist on the canopy. Personally I'd definately have the canopy for the jet fighter looks alone... 8)
