So it's a 402hp 12 cyl car made by a Company that only made one of them and they want $3 million for it... their crazy! If it's that easy, I would start a company that only made one car a year and then change the style for the next year.

I know it's just a prototype, but the dash looks like the '93 Olds Cutlass I used to have, with the sliders for the AC and all.

I dunno, something about the car seems fishy.

"This car has what no other car in world has: an automatically lifting airbrake (wind brake) just like planes when landing. The airbrake is situated in the back of the car (see pictures) and works when stepping on the brake."


The SLR has that............

I've seen it before. All I really know about it is what is in that description. Mercedes had anoter concept decades ago called the C111. I believe this is its replacement.

The seller isn't listing it in '99, so Minch is right. There is a car NOW with that type of brake.

Although it wasn't one of my favorites cars in the game, it was still sweet. I need to dig through my pile of old CDs and find that game... Looking at that car makes me want to play it again.
