Unbelievable how solid and smooth it is even at top speed.
And if I kept it floored, that car could complete my 44 mile commute in just under 10 minutes. Wow.

Obviously I'll never own one, ride in one or see one in person but I just like living in a world where I know they exist. Cool  |

That was great, thanks I had seen tbe original test that they did. This is just amazing to think that a street car can do that. The fastest I have been was 160 for about 10 minutes I cannot imagine 268. Of course top Gear does a good job also.

Consider myself lucky to have seen a "normal" one in real life, at the ACD Museum in Auburn, Indiana. Quite an exquisite piece of machinery.  |

Thanks for the additional links. I would like to know whos going to work on them and availability of parts. There is a Bentley that the brakes cost about 4000.00 to do. The rotors alone are 1300.00 ea. The trans is a great idea there have been real problems with the paddle shifting on some high end cars. The shift time is to long and it really isn't that smooth. On most systems it cuts cars power for a moment rather than making a smooth seamless shift. The new trans constant ones that use a variable belt is garbage. Finally a design that like the old cars, when all looked in amazement to rather than additional bells and whistles real design improvements. The tires on the RR are 2000.00 ea you talk about the price of tires on our Valks, Each rim is 6000.00.
