What did I see?

[-Cappo-]

Something overtook me in the dark on the M20 last night which caught my attention as I didn’t recognise it. It was GT/supercar shape, it had two strips of red LEDs across the rear, kind of “bracketed” at each end and with a number of short gaps across the width, and quad exhausts where each pair at each side were stacked vertically, not horizontally. Reg stood out, it was 11 O spaced as 110. That comes back to a Merc with an expired MOT so I guess the gov website hasn’t updated.

Just curious, don’t know what it was and couldn’t see much other than the rear.

What about a Bugatti Centodieci?
Lights and exhaust would match your description and the 110 could be a reference to the EB110 that it pays tribute to.
Believe they only made 10 though so you'd be very lucky to see one in the wild.

That will have been Francois Perrodo's Bugatti Centodieci, @fanchracing on Instagram. He has a fairly incredible collection of cars that are all used properly. Multiple McLaren F1, 250 GTO, Porsche 917, etc, etc.

I simultaneously love him and hate him.
