an absolute monster by any measure of cars...massive power accompanied by a slippery co-efficient of drag enabled it to beat the then production car record top speed at nardo speedring of the mclaren f1 in feb 2005 (372 kmh) by, what is at that rarified end of the speed spectrum, a massive 16 kmh...it topped out at 388 kmh...(sidenote - that mclaren record was the official top at the nardo...but the official straight line for the mclaren was 386 kmh)

top gear tested it and even the stig couldn't handle it...see the vid below...WOOT!!!


all i can say it, i wouldn't dare to drive the car...fast, anyway =))
