It's the car that sold at Barret Jackson this past year. There was only one made.

The 350k opening bid is $100k higher than what the guy paid for it. There were only a few bids at the BJ auction and it ended at $243k after only like 5 bids. The car is a one off.

Top speed of 268mph!!!???

And I thought the Veyron 16.4 was fast. This tops it by an astronomical 15mph.

Yeah I know the Veyron is street legal and this is not, but still...

This is a very old car, built somewhere in the 90's by a well known Mercedes/porsche tuner in Germany.
It looks pretty cool though

I dont think that is the original one. It was originally made in 1991 I think and for some United Arab dude. It used MBZ motor as the auction states. But Im not sure the body and all was actually done by MBZ. Im a little confused because if you search it online as "Lotec C1000," that car doesnt wear MBZ emblems. I think this is the same car a saw a few years back at a local exotics dealer. Even that one I dont remember having MBZ emblems.
