The car has done a few laps of the Nurburgring at the hands of Walter Rohrl & Hans Stuck who both endorsed it by signing the bonnet. The current owner a property developer, had the car built without regards to expense to the level we find it at today.
It is EXTREMELY fast. I drove it back from the Ruhr district & was amazed at how effortlessly quick it is reeling in other traffic with aplomb. The car is set up for track days or simply for fast road use. Not for the feint of heart, but tremendous fun for committed drivers.
