VMAX isn't just power...it's a LOT to do with aerodynamics, gearing, weight.
The CTR is light, has really low drag, and that's why it's so damn quick.
HELL of a car...check out the EVO 0-100-0 time (and imagine if it had an up to
date set of ceramic brakes - less weight more stopping power) :)
RESPECT!!! :)

VMAX is mainly drag power and gearing..... weight doesn't play any meaningful
part in the equation.

This is the car they should have been comparing the F40 to, not the 959.

I like the low frequency bark of the forced induction low rpm flat 6. But...
The sound of Testarossa Flat 12 was the best for me :)

thatt the Yellow Bird can hit 378km/h and that is confirmed.
