A pure racing car that simply ‘escaped’ the circuit and set out to terrify pedestrians. It was born in the late 1990s to meet the rules of the GT1 endurance-racing category, which included events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Those rules required manufacturers to build at least one road-legal car based on the racing version. This made it one of the most extreme cars ever to receive a license plate. A 6.9-liter V12 produces 612 hp and takes it to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. It is astonishingly wide, low and aerodynamic, with carbon-fiber bodywork that looks as though it was stolen from a science-fiction film set.
Only 26 examples were produced, including the roadster versions, making it an excessive, uncompromising and utterly mesmerizing automotive creation—rare and very expensive: $10 million to $15 million.
