2400lbs(!!!)/725hp= 3.3 lbs/hp. Damn.

That power to weight is almost exactly the same as that of my motorcycle.

Which is nuts.

What's nuts is that the quoted figures are for the base model.


Two other twin-turbo variants will also be available, rated at 1,000 and 1,200 hp.

1,200hp and 2500Lbs is a recipe for disaster in the hands of a (very wealthy) idiot on a street legal car. They should require a high performance driving school for each buyer.

Even 700hp is going to be just about undriveable for mortals.
