I think that you can actually see it in some of the "extras" on the Tomorrow Never Dies DVD.

Hmm...150+ out of a much heavier 350i is going some...unless it's being TOWED by a F1 scratchchin

I always thought my 400 would do 170. hehe

does it say its got a 3.5 under the hood.
There's no reason it's not got a 4.5 Race engine or Stand 5.0

Also I've had 155 out of my 400SE and still had a bit left, plus speedo is 99% accurate with GPS upto 95.

Specs states 0-60 6.1 Secs, 156mph top speed and all this with 197BHP........
With all the weight of the camera gear, camera men and a driver, being pushed over the edge of the Grand Canyon maybe the only way to achieve this performance. What a rush though

SH reckons that the aerodynamic penalty of having the top down costs a second to sixty! Stick the Blackpool tower on top and you'll be lucky to see the high end of 120... very lucky.

If it's road legal I want one sooooo bad.

Was not in the UK. not every country has stupid speed limits, and was in the 400SE not racer, also had 140 in the 400SE on the track.
