Is this old news? Probably but anyway. Fastest road car in the world 0-60 in 2.7secs, 231mph, 685bhp. Not the prettiest thing, but, I wouldn't say no.

Its not all about top speed, acceleration playsa part too I guess :shrug:

Yeah it's old :p

Probably not the fastest in terms of top speed, because the McLaren F1 tops out at around 240mph if I remember correctly :paranoid:
