Under 7 seconds to do 20.8km, that must be many times the speed of sound! Simply amazing when you realize how many corners were involved
Seriously tho, was that on road car tyres???

Yeah must have been on slicks...
But then i thought production cars are supposed to use the tyres they come with..?
I know there was big emphasis on this regarding the R35 GTR.
X-Rad- I think the road would be too bumpy for an F1 car...not sure if its been done though.

Yes, but it's not a street legal production car. It's a rich man toy like the FXX a few years back. Think Le Mans car and you will be closer to the truth.

It's a racecar, trust me.
Mats, you are clearly wrong. Of course that's a road car, it has 2 vents and 2 seats. Road car!
Other things that give it away are the road car under trays, the road car full roll cage and the road car slick tyres.
See, road car...............
