Yeah seen the photos, didn't top gear have a willys jeep on the show which was 20ft tall.
Don't know much about the D16 other than what I have read, but the motoring world does seem quite sceptical about the whole deal.
Guess we'll only know when it runs.

Car is built and seen in UAE I have many friends in the Middle East it was one of them that told me
Sorry you misunderstood my meaning, yes it's built for displays much like cars like the one77 were but generally as static displays.
I think it's the moving donkey engine for shows rather than the power plant they plan to use that your friends may have seen.
That said the interior does look fantastic but only running a 7.2l engine to produce 5000hp does suggest it's not going to be up to the job.

the land of those so rich that taste passed them by. The UAE is a bit like Wilmslow in that regards.

If I still had my old bike I'd be all over this like a rash as well over 200 would be easy. The vxr8... 160/170 I suppose so hardly exciting.
Aw piss flaps! Just seen it's this Sunday and I cannot go . I would have ridden your (my) ZZR and my brother could have ridden the ZX12. I'm sure the bike would do 200 no problem. When's the next one?

This guy got the record at 283mph with 1700bhp helps that the ford gt has very good aero from stock

http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/10/29/performa...

When he was interviewed after he got the record he did say 300mph was the next goal but a lot more power needed to be found.

Then you should show Jez how a 25 year old Audi with a turbo iron block can do 250 mph over the mile!

If it's got 5000bhp why is it only doing 20mph in this video? confused
