"252mph means that in straight and level flight this car is as near as makes no difference as fast as a Hawker Hurricane."

Wow.

I saw an article about this car a while back. Maybe the sexiest/scariest car ever.

I liked the part about how they couldn't make the mirrors smaller because they provided enough downforce to keep the car on the ground.

if you want to actually drive 200mph do you have to go to a race track and drive around in circles?

Of course not. Most people are going to have serious problems turning this thing. You want a couple miles of straight road.

In America, the salt flats would be a good place to go.

So the torque curve is flattish then?

Or I-70 in Kansas if you are feelin' lucky.

It was on Top Gear this week. I would advise checking it out.

Sick. Basically each one is sold for a $7m loss. The construction of it is was just an exercise to show what can be done.

Watch it.

Now if you're going to test your luck on any major Interstate I would put I-70 in Kansas right at the bottom.
The fine State Troopers of KS seem to believe speeding is the absolutely worst crime one could possibly commit.

At the very least drive across the Colorado border before attempting this crazyness.
