Props to Toyota. That is one fast *** run. This is what Ferrari gets for packing on weights to their cars. They have the power, but they need a diet.

Well according to Chris Harris, Ferrari would repave the circuit, use airplane fuel, tell the wind to stop blowing and tell the sun to stay around 50 degrees.

Very smooth and relaxing drive........and wow, even at speed of more than 200 Kilometers Per Hour, the car feels relatively smooth and stable.

Heck, at the long straight, the driver and passenger were giving each other the thumbs up

Impressive. But for almost costing half a million, we shouldn't have expected any less.

For $400,000, you get more than just a super car. You get a car that has all the creature comforts of a real street car, not like those super cars that are gutted to nothing. It won't break down on you after 1000 miles of driving it, so you get to spend more time in it! And JESUS! The engine? Anymore need to be said why this car is worth $400,000?!
