Default If you like Supercars as well as bikes . . .

. . . then you might want to check this link out LOOK HERE

The only thing it doesn't give is the price . . .











. . . but a quick Google & you'll find it's somewhere in the region of £150 K

ooh I say! Just the job for the school run! Beautiful looking machine but ownership in the real world would no doubt raise so many issues.

The version they show on the sight (& in the pdf download) is the track version.

BUT, there is an SVA'd road legal version available as well

BETTER STILL, all the bits are interchangeable between the 2

Now if I can just manage to choose the 'right' 6 numbers . . .

I think that was the car they touched on briefly in one of the Sunday newspapers.
They said it is a match for the £800,000 Veyron and I think it was around £100K+.

No doubt it will reach Top Gear in the new series.

That does look mean, wouldnt mind a test drive in it

The veyron though is a very special car, would take that over this one anyday but then again thats a big price difference

Nahh, no chance. It may have 1000bhp per tonne, but the Veroyn has ample more torque.

They may be pretty close to 100-150mph odd, but after that, the Veroyn would just leave it.

At 150+, the wind really has an effect on top end. A car that can do 190mph is never going to be a match for a car that can do 245+mph... Thats SERIOUS power.

But don't forget that the VEYRON is a PIG UGLY car !!

And it can only reach it's top speed when in 'low downforce' mode (not switchable on the move)

For me it would DEFINATELY be the Freestream - unless I could find the dosh for a Maclaren F1 (also if someone's prepared to sell me one) !!

When you say top speed, you mean the 245+mph

It'll still do 220+ with the wing (high downforce) setup.

As for looks, matter of opinion. I think it looks crazy.
