Lovely car but that bonnet scoop ruins it for me.

What it needs is a bonnet like Bosscerbera's Cerbera to tone it down a bit (or at least let you see where your trying to steer it!)

Love the theory and engineering behind it and think it's great people are still building and selling such a loony motor vehicle

If I had the money to buy a Veyron, I would hopefully have the sense to waste my money on this instead as it looks much more entertaining and you could use the change in your pocket to distribute to your family in your will

There must be a nutter with a set of this under da bonnet . . .

I suppose 12.7 litres and 1350 bhp must be pretty girly at the top end of power boating.

Oops.

I've raced a 800 bhp Cobra, in a full historic race field at Nurburgring,Le Mans and the Monaco GP circuit. Quite honestly I do pretty well in a well sorted 911 race car, but with these things I've have crashed out at all three circuits and as somebody else has previously said, the cars are extremely hard work to string a good lap together.
I never suffered any body damage, but as we all know, that's one of the limitations of Sony's Grand Turismo 4.

The Stig in that . . . I guess he'll sent it back to get the extra wings

Should get Captain Slow to drive it, now that I would like to see! Oh and the power lap should be pretty, errrm, interesting to say the least!

Brilliant - only thing I do is try to make the bonnet scoop smaller, looks like an off the shelf drag scoop.

[dinkel]

Over 10 litres would need it . . .

Random thread revival...

I'd love drive that past (or over) Red Ken

[Gummi]

Needs another resurrection!

Reading the engine info on the Weineck site it stated that the engine reclines at 8000 rpm. Its 12.9L, how?! Capacity can go up to 16L. Screw downsizing and turbos, you want this!
