I was watching Top Gear last sunday and they had another one of those car vs other method of transportation races and Jeremy was driving one of these from London to Oslo through Europe, while the other two took a plane from London to Newcastle and then a Ferry. Jeremy was lucky to win cause on the last leg the other boat messed up. Anyways..the point is...he was having a field day and said that compared to any other supercars, you always wait for something to break down when you hear noise when you take long trips, but this one is very well built. I d give anything to even just have a test drive...

Did anyone see the Ludacris in Africa thing on MTV where he drove a black one? God that car is so hot. It's just not fair.

I never found anything to be particularly super about most supercars. Different strokes I suppose.

They have (or at least had) one of these at a local Porsche dealership too, for you supercar fans.

great car, so great in fact that mclaren walked away from mercedes after producing this marvel. methinks mclaren needs to make a f1 followup. this looks too much like penile compensation for my liking.
