@Rockhead,
That's more like a nightmare car.

I would like to have the latest Volkswagen ... but only, to sell the car, because not more than one has been produced ... due to the 50th birthday of Lamborghini cars

The Lamborghini Egoista, a Rambo Lambo

@Enzo,

street-legal, 1200 hp ride: 2012 Hennessey Venom GT

It looks great, sounds sick, and that engine is a beast.



One only needs 250 hp with 4 cylinders for roadways and legal use, why would anyone need an additional 1,000 hp to just be dragged around for the life of the vehicle?

@BillW,
"Show off?" LOL
But Walter lives in Germany where there is no speed limit. Mr. Green

@cicerone imposter,
The engine in the Egoista is the same as in the Gallardo, 5.2 litre V10, but with 600 hp (tuned for 30 hp more).

(The Gallardo has a top speed of 325 km/h [202 mph].)

@Walter Hinteler,
I've had a ride in an MBZ back in the late fifties that went over 140mph.
It was a "thrill" back then, and I'm sure 202mph would be equivalent today.

@cicerone imposter,
No speed limit in Montana, but requirement to drive according to conditions. I know of no where, period, that 200 mph would be considered safe.

Change of subject, unless, your questions is in regard to the ride an unlucky astronaut takes when he has fatal problems in a car while going 200+ mph......

@BillW,
It certainly depends on the car and road conditions. (250 km/h [155 mph] was the fastest I've ever driven on a normal road.)

I remember in about 1967-8 when I went about 20 miles on a Dallas to Fort Worth toll road at about 120+or-. When I gave the toll card to the toll keeper he just looked at me, kinda shook his head and gave me the change. Great, cheap German car - Opel Kadett Rally Sport!

@BillW,
Shoulda tried the Opal GT while you were at it. That sucker held the road like a vacumn cleaner.

@roger,
So did the Rallye Sport. The GT was a generational upgrade. Both were European Rallye racers.

@BillW,
You can certainly see the aero dynamic changes made between th Rallye Sport and the GT, I wish I could have driven one - for sure! I was in different places at that time.

@BillW,
Actually, when driving a car at 200+ mph, "safe" is in the eye of the driver.
Some feel it's too fast going 50 mph on freeways.
