I like that "Top Speed Mode".

I'm just mad that it beat the Koenigsegg CCR.

Does the VWAG group own them? A lot of those specs seem like they would. Anyway, supercar, yes... I'd still prefer some other cars that are 1/3 of its price.

It finally is done huh? Car has been in the works for ages. It's amazing that it took like 12 years of car producing to officially break the Mclaren F1s record.

I want a car with Top Speed mode, sounds like fun

sure as hell doesen't sound like a skyline..

i want to engage 'top speed' mode and watch the car prep for top speed. rofl it would be like flying a jet or something,. although the interior is something of a horrid tan colored old person interior you might find in a bentley
