More Ebay fun - but a tad more expensive.

[Roo]

Have a spare $3 million US to spend on a car? Don't want the bother of getting out of your chair and visiting supercar dealerships? Then try Ebay! You never know what you'll find.

 

[Young_Warrior]

the mans out his mind and if any one pays over 700 grand for that thing is stupid aswell. only 300kw.

"This car has what no other car in world has: an automatically lifting airbrake (wind brake) just like planes when landing. The airbrake is situated in the back of the car (see pictures) and works when stepping on the brake."

Hmm I'm pretty sure quite a lot of other cars out there nowadays have an airbrake as well. i wouldn't pay over 100k for it and who would you take it to to have it repaired? fly it over to germany?

 

[Flerbizky]

3 mill... Quite a bit..

Sweet car... Not 3 million dollar sweet though...

ML MB SLR is one...

 

[wee_man]

300kw = 402.31hp

 

[Young_Warrior]

ye I know but 400hp aint nothing. Evos would beat this to 0-60.

Wee man I think your getting the air break that pops up confused with a rear wing that pops up for downforce.

Only a handful have actualy air brakes.

 

[F1GTR]

Not worth 3 million. But who knows, this thing could be extremely light.

 

[DQuaN]

The McLaren F1 had an airbrake.

 

[Young_Warrior]

ye this cars probably still faster than the god damn slow A1GP cars. Even the new soon to start senior F1 series cars will be faster than bloody A1 GP and the race drivers hve to be over 45!

 

[Driftster]

What is it?
The Mercedez Benze Porsche ripoff?

Or perhaps Porsche mocked MB with their CGT

 

[sicbeing]

read the description, says it was a MB prototype or something

 

[TsLeng]

I remember this car from Need For speed 2.

Im sure some money no problem middle east oil guy or the 'Sultan' would buy it

 

[McLaren]

Young, if someone buys this for $700K, its more of a steal.

This is a rare car. Practically 1 of a kind.
As far as I know, only 2 were made.

 

[Young_Warrior]

F1gtr I meant £700 grand. About 1.3 mill U.S?

 

[Famine]

the mans out his mind and if any one pays over 700 grand for that thing is stupid aswell. only 300kw.

Hmm.

It's a C112. That makes it significantly rarer than the McLaren F1 LM, the Porsche 911 GT1, the Mercedes CLK LM, the Bugatti Royale, the Adams Probe 16 and pretty much anything else you care to mention.

It manages to extract 205mph+ from that "only 300kW" 12-cylinder. That means it's giving away around 80hp to the Ferrari F40, yet still manages to be faster than it.

Of course, it's not all about speed - which the C112 has in spades - otherwise the guy who paid $6 million for one of those 6 Bugatti Royales would also be "stupid" (though I suppose compared to the guy who spent £1.2 million making a seventh from scratch, he probably is).


Of course, you can only fit one woman in it, unlike the Evo. But, unlike the Evo, you won't need iodine on standby for afterwards.

 

[Young_Warrior]

I can buy 200 evo 8s for one of those things.

 

[Famine]

Your point being?

One of mine is that you can buy 600 Evo 8s - but not 3 of "those things".

 

[Steeda]

nfs 2 it is

 

[eliseracer]

Is that really a mirror on the top... Kind of innovative, but terribly destructive on the car's lines.

 

[Freddie]

Stupid me, posting a doppelgänger right on top of this thread.

Like Famine said, this car is extremely rare. Rare to the point, that nobody thought it had survived at all, because even pictures prooving that it exists are rare.

I know that if I had the money, I'd buy it. But I don't, and it starts to seem that there's quite a lot of other people who don't too. Which is bad, because everybody knows what happens to unwanted cars, even prototypes.
