This car truly was a step up from.the hideous F512M. And just one year later! Faster, prettier, front-engined and over 3 seconds faster at Fiorano. Good on them.

22.6 s @ 148 kph (92 mph)? I call bs! A 302hp 2003 Mercury Marauder is much faster than that!

Best car I have ever owned. Lopes across Europe, Carries the luggage, does 199mph (apparently) and just been voted the car most likely to shoot up in value. Seriously, get one.

I can add Le Mans but only if it has at least 5 proper lap times for it. Otherwise it's pointless.

I saw a spectacular video featuring Colin McRae in his Maranello 550 in 2004 on Le Mans circuit, but since it is not stock car video I will only put it here and if the admin choses he may add the circuit to the list (together with reference time 3min:58sec for that GT Maranello 550)

My God! It's slower than RX-7 at Suzuka - circuit witch is suitable for more powerful cars - long straights and lots of wide hi-speed corners.
