Fastest car in the world

Hmm - Koenigsegg themselves ay its their second fastest car. So I doubt its the fastest car in the world. Depending on how you define car, its probably not even close.

If it's a P1 it's been Mansory'd (or any other tasteless tuning company) to death.

This has a small Prodrive sticker on the front bumper.



Could it be an ex race car ?

Did Prodrive ,or whoever owned them ,sell off these cars when finished with them ?

It is a 550 LM - I forgot who built it (not pro drive though in the end), but it is based on the road car lightened by c 200-300kg with carbon body parts, lighter seats etc. conversion cost about 90k sterling at time - wish I could have afforded one, this is among my favorite cars

Evo did an article on it back in the day

Thanks for the info MDL ,my line about the Pro Drive sticker is a bit superfluous.....

Well I never no wonder it was getting some attention.

Regarding the 550 Prodrive racers, they all started as normal road cars anyway, as it was a private effort so they had to buy the cars complete from Ferrari and then strip them down.

OH GOD MY LITTLE HEART.

The Prodrive 550 Maranello racers are my all-time favourite race-cars and the LM road car version, proper car porn.
