Watched this in the local pub. Interesting to see John driving the monster on the roads near his farm. He said 2000 to 2200bhp on the telly but his web site says {or said anyway} 1550 on the dyno and 1100 at the back wheel on that amazing rolling road he has. Whichever it's certainly got plenty of power and yet does not seem as wild as some of the other similar cars I have seen.

Doubt the dyno can take the full hit of the power.
