'Clarkson' mode:
And it's not just the torque, even the brakes are biblical. They couldn't fit one front caliper behind the wheels so this has two front brake calipers! TWO!!!

All the numbers of acceleration are wrong !!
0-100km/h= 4.4s
0-200km/h= 12.8s

it weighs almost 5000 lbs yet it can swerve through a slalom course faster than a mclaren f1. and even being the only car in the world to get digital television isnt the best part. the engineering and technology in this car is amazing.
