Yes, there are worse things (than a Lotus) that it could look like.

Gotta love this comment on that web site:

"Well, that's terrific news for the top 10%...of the top 1%...that can afford an $850,000 car. And has a place to park it where it's safe. I bet the fuel economy is very important to their bottom line. Remember, it's really only an $840,000 car, after you've saved $1000/year on gas for 10 years.

We return you now, to your reality. The utility bill is due, and the meatloaf is re-heating!"

Maybe it's because I don't have $850,000 for a car but I can't imagine doing this when I could have not one but two Carrera GTs...one to drive and one to appreciate enough to offset the depreciation on the "driver".

Mind you both the Carrera GT and 918 are galactically beyond what can be fully used on the street and my skill on a track.

Thanks. That was freaking awesome. Perhaps the boys over at F1 might want to listen to an exhaust note with a sound to remember.
