every time i see this ... it's like an ice cold nightmare...
this must be a dream of engineering !
this machine is so much in advance of everything on that planet...
1.5 million euros ... that's the price ...

maxwell... well. i guess without extreme scientific research that car would not have been possible. inverse the car's speed with quality images and there you have maxwell render ...
i mean... this is not anymore about about saving our planet because of gasoline problems. this is pure engineering ecxtasy !
gentlemen, start your engines !

I got one of these. I was very excited, until I took it out and could only get up to 252mph, as opposed to the
254+ that was advertised!
:evil::x I was so angry about that I ran it into a brick wall at full speed. Didn't hurt it though, so I do give it points for sturdiness.

Yeah, why not? I use my CCXR for shopping, my Veyron for commuting to work, and my Reventon for my weekend trips to the bunny petting zoo's (the Lamborghini Reventon just goes with baby bunnies in my mind). Different cars for different things; mixes it up a bit, ya know? (You don't wanna know what I use for the Friday night street dragging
)
