# A zero-to-60 time of three seconds

# A price tag somewhere in the $1 million range.



Bah I plan on better than that with only 12K in my car.

yep, my friend as I posted before went to the Geneva Motorshow in Switzerland a while ago and was telling me all about it. It has 2, 16 faceted 2 carot diamonds in the guage cluster!! W-16 engine, quad turbo AWD, 7spd paddle shift sequential trans. Top speed over 240 mph. Too bad there is a waiting list for the mere 200 being produced, and they will all certainly be taken instantly. Oh and I'm pretty sure they are around the 1.2 million mark or something like that. And 1001 hp is the de-tuned version the original was 1200 hp I think.

The engine creates 922 lb.-ft. of torque at only 2,200 rpm


Imagine that in our lil' RX-7's? We would be getting 6 feet up in the air on the fronts.



There is no need for that much power, it will not sell if it is made. It is like the McLaren F1. Too much power and way too much price. Rap stars won't buy them, because they want Bentleys and Hummer H2s.

Bitch please,



8 liters

16 cylinders

4 turbo's

18 PSI



and only 1000HP and not even to the wheels.



Comon now, 20B plus two GT28/35's at 20PSI = like 800 to the ground and would destroy that **********er.

This is a production car. That means it has to last more than 3 weeks in between rebuilds.
