4 Prototypes of the M1 were built in corparation with Lamborghini!
But the project failed... :(
Fangio Man 13y ago
I know.
But the Porsche 918 Concept is also 3 or 4 years old and it will get in production this year!
Maybe the development is finished yet.
Fangio Man 13y ago
Good news!
A concept for its planed succesor is already built!
