I heard the first one was auctioned off for around $1.4 million..so now this would probably be worth much more...I bet the grip on this car is astonishing as well as the acceleration...

I prefer the normal F50 in looks, but this GT its a beast, with that red monster I can eat a Mclaren F1!

Fabro: compare it to a McLaren LM / GTR car to be fair. Then come back crying

Art Z. who lives about 15 minutes away has S/N 001. In fact, Johannes vO is the one who crashed his car - which is funny, because he gave me lessons at thunderhill not too long ago.

BTW, for TT-types (I'm telling you dude, you need to come out here), Art has one HELL of a ocllection. Thank god he's not as taken witht he modern cars as some other jokers are.

Well i think it's design is stunning and i actually prefer it to the enzo. It's like with women, it's better to have a bit more curves than edges :roll:
