GTP WTAC Week 60 : Rare Supercars
*** Cizeta was founded in the later 80's in Italy by Claudio Zampolli (who sold and serviced Italian sports cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini) and famed musician Giorgio Moroder (who was instrumental in helping to shape the direction of electronic music from the 70's-80's and beyond). Shortly after the concept car was shown to the public (named 'Cizeta-Moroder V16T'), Giorgio Moroder left the project and the all the subsequent production cars were called Cizeta V16T. Only 8 were made before the company went under in 1994 and moved to southern California. There, Cizeta made two more V16T's - one in 1999 and another in 2003. They are still made if someone is willing pay the $650,000 US dollar fee for one. It's interesting to note that this is the exact initial design of the Lamborghinin Diablo before Chrysler (who owned Lamborghini at the time) started to make changes to Marcello Gandini's creation. This pissed Mr. Gandini off so much that he used same styling for the Cizeta. He claimed that is what the Diablo should have looked like. Another neat fact is the the Cizeta V16T is the visual inspiration for the 'Infernus' model in the Grand Theft Auto series. Our next supercar is a Giorgetto Giugiaro/Italdesign styled concept made for Volkswagen starting in 1997. The version we are using here is the 2001 V12 Nardo, which was named in honor of the Nardo Ring high speed test track in Italy. The V12 was said to have a top speed of 357 kph/222 mph and contained a 590 HP/458 ft-lbs of torque 12 cylinder engine. It debuted in 2001's Tokyo Auto Show and it's technology went on to other production Volkwagen cars like the Phaeton and the Touareg. ***

To focus on the tuning of the car? I think that won't make much difference. I'm sorry I only do a few runs on that track, most of which are to earn money with a Mc super-car. But a over-steer with a too much torque car is indeed a disaster on this track
) that would be great.
