I can't help but think about this when I read "Speed" "Tail":

^ not the first time I see that joke tbh, not even in this thread.

Can't want to get myself a 1/64 scale model of this thing, as that would be the closest I can get to owning one.

It's a marvel but you might as well toss those passengers seat out the window.

This car is growing on me, I think the unauthodox design gives it character that it simply wouldn't have if it was more conventional in shape.

A Speedtail has crashed at Fuji. It happened during a McLaren event. Supposedly the track was damp and the tires were cold.

So do we actually know a top speed for this thing yet or are they just gonna let some rich guys figure it out when they have time? Whatever happened to engineering cars and publishing real numbers?
