The cars weight is its own enemy, shave at least another 300kg, install a manual box, probably make it a 4wd and I'm sure there will be noticeable effects

This car is very slow... all those looks, all that carbon fiber, all that power and torque, all that price, all that crapy ride, and no folding roof...
Sorry but it is slow as hell...

Despite being a little strangely built, I\'m kinda taken by this car. My guess is this car 1) needs a really good driver and 2) is highly dependant on chassis superiority on tracks.

How does this beat the Ford GT at HockenHeim by 2s, yet it Looses on the Top gear Track in the Damp by 1.1s?

its not just its weight, 1, it has steel brakes, which carbon ceramics woulda ben a better choice,2, it has all that power, and not grippy eniff tyres, 3, its torque is too much, so all your gonna get i wheelspin.

Was just browing and thought with those amazing hp numbers how can this car be more than 20 seconds slower thatn the Nissan GTR at nurburgring????? Is the weight its own enemy.

Can not find a lap time on the auto motor und sport site.
The Sport Auto (7:51) time is here:

The 7:36 came from http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?viewThread=y&gID=3&fID=0&tID=10073
They did have a link to MotorSport Und Auto that no longer works..... if as I suspect thats the same as SportAuto we'll change the time to 7:51. The original referance checked out at the time but its not impossible it was wrong..... does anyone have a link to the 7:51 time just in case?

i think it ws a claim, and i dont believe that top gear time for a minute, if you saw the video, he didnt really push it, i think he was being biased toward it for being much more expensive than a sl350.
Hey Wads or Fastetst Laps 16y ago
I think Zora and woody raise an interesting point. Where did that 7:36 come from? All the fetishizing and projectile spooging over this car on this board has been besed on that time. Why no source?
Zora 16y ago
The nordschleife time that SportAuto clocked was a 7:51. So where does the 7:36 time come from? BS?
If this car is not very fast around a track and unliveable in daily life as Clarkson so subtly pointed out, what's its purpose?
