True!

But why can't you race it? If it's not road legal and u can't race so there's really no purpouse for this car. They could just do the bodywork then...

You can't race it because it doesn't conform to any series rules.
It's not road legal for obvious reasons.

THere is a purpose, Pagani will make a fortune on them. And a few people will have an uber expensive track day/bragging tool.

But from a customer point-of-view... these über-expensive trackday cars are absolutely pointless when you can buy a full race-spec MC12 racer or a 575 GTC for less money, and compete with other drivers... which is the main point when purchasing a racecar IMO. :roll: :bah:

I'm with 666 on this one. There are a large number of wealthy collectors who love to do track time; but aren't competitive; and never want the opertunity to be taken where it looks as if they are competitive... they just want to go as fast as they can personally no matter if some pro can edge out 5 more seconds.... or more...

I suppose that if the Lambo V12 can stay so impressive after 30 years of developpment, the not-20-years-old Mercedes V12 has some time before being out
