Realize what?
V16 - done before
Quad Turbo - done before
1000Hp - ditto
Ok, they built an overcooked TT with a blown engine and are able to sell it for $1 mill., I'll give you that, that's pretty unique

Not by somethin road legal however. And if you say the Veyron really isn't an achivement, since "it's all been done before", then the other supercars such as the Enzo are even less of an achivement. |
Different points of view.
The thing is that reaching 400 kph with a 1000hp engine, doesn't quite amaze me... on the other hand the DSG is quite cool and impressive...
Also the Enzo does have something special, great handling without great wings... unlike lets say... the McLaren F1.

I don't think there's much about road legalness in 1930  ~ my best bet is that the car back then is also road legal. (ps. I am netural in this, just wanna point this out that's all lol)

no yann, you didn't miss a beat... the feature was recorded last fall to my knowledge; but even if the footage does get broadcast, Jeremey wont likely put it on the leader board; since its tires aren't 1995 spec tires it originally had.
