What a monster! This car is so powerful it's virtually undriveable!
Originally built for some sheik in Dubai (who didn't pay his bills!) it was
imported into America sometime last year. It has been doing the auction
rounds since, looking for a good home. The mechanic you see is Fabio, ex-
Lamborghini race-team, and he and his colorful cohort, Enrico, managed to
repair and machine just about everything they needed to get this car running
properly. it was in a real sorry state when it came in--fried clutch, broken cables, etc.
Running on av-gas and premium unleaded, it is insane!!!! The pops you hear at
the end of the video were actually really, really loud bangs. The camera's mic
doesn't do them justice.
