Pretty cool car although I don't think you'd find much of a market for it with the price tag I'm sure it would carry. SHOGun may be the better buy though. Only 220HP but it's less then 0.9 seconds slower 0-60mph then the W12 GTI (although I'd bet Leno's 310HP SHOGun is in the same area as the W12 GTI). And I don't think there's a chance the W12 GTI can come anywhere close to the SHOGun's 1.04g cornering. And all that was back in 1989 (only 7 were made).

meh .... pretty ugly, IMO. If I could afford to go that fast, I'd buy something else.

The current HPA stage 2 0-60mph isn't it? Both have a 202mph top speed. Plus the HPA stage 2 is a real car that you can buy (should you have the $$ and wanna spend it on something like that).

German rice has got to be Weinerschnitzel...
Maybe American rice should be either Pizza or Cheesteak...or we could just stick with the ever-popular "redneck".
The Weez just didn't know that with Yum Chah having 33k posts, he has commented on almost any possible subject!
Sick car though...
