UPDATE!

This car is located in Ft. Lauderdale and since I live there I have seen it in numerous occasions.

First time I saw it was in Ferrari dealership down on N Federal Hwy. It was the owner of Ferrari dealership that was driving it. They opened up the "backhood" and reved engine like crazy. Also they took the top off which had it's fitting spot in fronthood.

Anyway I saw that car couple of times after that and it was always some other guy driving it.

I believe that car belongs to Ferrari dealer but don't hold on that.

Must be a good earning dealership.
Sounds like this is the car for when you bring your car in for service, LOL.

The CCR, posted in the pics above by Freddo, is going for the fastest production car record now held by the Mclaren F1 (242mph if I am correct).

I'd definetely put that car in the ranks of any supercar out there... I agree, it doesn't have the racing heritage of Ferrari or Porsche... but if you watch that top-gear video, you'll see it'll run with the best of the best. The car supposedly tops out at 245mph and goes 0-60 in 3.0... thats faster than the McLaren F1 (which up until this car was regarded as that fastest production car in the world). While I'd take an Enzo over this given the choice, this is a very close second.

Just a question, how do you open the door when you are parallel parked next to a curb?
