There was another company in Germany (Dauer if memory serves me well ) that produced some road legal ones a long time ago. If you hunt around you can probably still find one, but it will in all likelihood be in 1/43rd scale & made by minichamps, in black , red, or yellow.

It does

Dauer 962LM

Seem to remember seeing a yellow one with green stripes in Evo a few years back under the headline "Road racers"

What a machine. And, [flame suit on] I reckon it looks better in yellow than black also [flame suit off]

[Gizmo!]

Better in black IMO.

Am I mistaken, or isn't this car currently owned by a PHer?

have you read any of the article or responses so far?

I was very unpatriotic in 1988 and supported the factory 962's at LM instead of the Jags. I cant imagine what an awesome road car this would be on smooth tarmac. Probably not great on our British pot hole semi off road roads of today though.

It would make a far more interesting alternative to a Zonda/Veyron etc.

0-60mph takes just 2.6 seconds whilst a top speed of 252mph set on VW's Ehra-Leissen test track ensured the Dauer 962 became the fastest street legal production car.

@252MPH, it'd better be

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant!

Looks ace!

Hopefully I'm using this piece of kid-speak correctly... but- "That is (as my little cousin says) totally sick man"

Echo the Batman comments, this would p*ss all over the batmobile in the cool stakes :-)

Is this yours?

Bloody love it, VERY COOL!!!

I was keen to buy this car ...but after phoning the bank am still £349.900 short...Bugger

[Lordbenny]

The Dauer is nice, can you imagine it on the road in Rothmans livery

[I WISH]

Oh my giddy aunt.

Just look at the sheer size of that hinged rear section!

Try getting out of that and looking nonchalant.

Awesome.

[johnpeat]

That or an F40 - similar cash - now there's a decision to be made. Upside is it's just the purchase-day depreciation on a Veyron!!

Dauer weren't the only people to made roadgoing 962s either IIRC - there was a short fad for it way-back-when - the provenance and originality of these cars obviously varies a bit tho and none were actually racers which means their long-term value is dubious (or not - you never know with car collectors!!)

3600cc, bore 100.00 m, stroke 76.4mm.

100 metres bore, 76.4 mm stroke?

With a boxer 6 engine, the engine alone must be 200m wide by 300m long.

Never mind speed bumps, you could drive it over the bomb craters 100m wide and not notice

Uberwibble. The race car is my favourite of all time, and that would be my ultimate road car.
