Last year's Gumball was very funny. Poor VW guy averaged 3 tickets per day! I wish more Supras and Skylines represented. Only one R34 last year, from England, with an F16 fuel pump!!

That's the Koenigsegg, built in Sweden, Supercharged V8, has more power, is lighter and a better drag coeffecient than a McLaren F1. It's supposed to have a top speed of 245, but it hasn't been tested yet for top speed.

Top Gear did a nice video about it.
