Dang, they'd better fly it directly to my house in an otherwise empty cargo helicopter packed full with microfiber cloth for $51,000. Heck, that would probably only cost $20,000.

What a waste of money.

read this quote off of wikipedia. " When getting close to the top speed during the test, May said that "the tires will only last for about fifteen minutes, but it's okay because the fuel runs out in twelve minutes."

And handles like a whale :)
Waste of money, you can have a better performing car for 1\10 of the price and actually be faster!

how do you figure that it handles like a whale, its actually quite a small car with millions of dollars in performance parts.

bse50 07-16-2009 09:07 AM

1900kg, 16l turbocrap vw engine! It is an object, not a car.
Just got have a look at any nurburgring lap times and you'll see that this powerful car really isn't up to its supercar pricetag.
7:40 'round the ring... slower than a whole bunch of cars that cost 1\10!

SideOfBacon 07-16-2009 09:09 AM

was in for one until i saw the 56k in freight. that was the breaker right there. :icon_no2:

Last I recall I believe they were 1.7mil, not 2.1. Maybe it's changed.

And for less than half that price I rather buy an SSC Ultimate Aero and officially have the fastest car in the world. That and it being one of the few cars I would buy being American made for my country's pride :rock:

Handles better than a rx-8.

For 2 million plus, it better, but to say it handles like a whale... what do you have besides the 8?

Must have a couple of porsches and ferraris in the driveway.


That's like people with Scion TC saying RX-8 is slow as a dog.

bse50 07-16-2009 09:57 AM

i do have a cavallino in my driveway indeed... :)
But that's not the point anyway. They should market it as a super luxury car, not as the superfast ultrawow sports car that it is not. 1900kg and 1001hp with some turbochargers and 16litres of engine?
There are cars doing 600+hp on a 6l engine, NA!

I'm not saying that it is not fast on the straights but heck, that is far away from being a true sports car. A luxury GT? sure!

Just get the ccx....

somebody good with math, pleeze -- how much would that cost for 12 minutes of speed in a gorgeous ride :evil_laug

SiLVeRE8 07-17-2009 02:28 PM

For $2.1 million... I rather have a collection of my most favorite ferrari's and lamborghini's in my garage
