That is one gorgeous car. I wonder how many turbos it has and the BHP rating. There are so many amazing and fun engineering projects out there these days. It would be a blast working on this team.

Oops, my reading comprehension is going down. It says “1,750 hp on E85.”

Hopefully it has an ejection seat or a survivable capsule.

I used to have dreams of renting a BMW/Audi/Mercedes and taking it on the Autobahn...at about 125MPH. But as I grow older I grow wiser...and have forgotten that dream.

Huum...I will have to check and see if that is open range along that route.

Interesting air management problem.

At 300+mph you’d out run even the police helicopter.

The tires would probably be worn out in 20 miles at that speed and you’d run out of gas in a little more than that

I had a Mercedes 560 convertible. It went up to a hundred or more in a few seconds. A couple years ago I decided it was too fast and too much maintenance. Big engine with not that big of a body.

I’ll take two. What kind of stereo does it have? And how much extra for the sport package?

I don’t think the local Carvana vending machine will have this on display. Ever.
