With a V-12TT it'll probably have effortless power, while the I-4 making 600hp from a single turbo would probably have major lag. Besides ITS A V-12 TWIN TURBO!!!

Only if you're a multiplatinum selling rap artist. Which I'm fairly certain that you aren't.

I personally think the front end is killer! However, and that is a big bold HOWEVER, I find the interior tasteless and ugly. It doesn't flow like most cars in that price range (or even lesser cars that cost 1/100 of the price!). I would expect more if I was paying 2 mil for a car. Oh yeah, and that back end is hideous!

I think they gave the car a lot of suspension travel to make the ride smoother.

if only there were a way.... I think the craziest GT4 peeps should be rewarded for their GT4 performance by a percentage of their winnings in GT4, paid in USD.

yeah.

The Engine in this is just a re-worked 57 Special Engine. I should have posted this info a while ago. We've had this for a long time. This car will NOT be a production model. It was created for Fulda Only.
