how much is that in american dollars? Running a 100 in the rain on a 40mph stretch of road has DA wrote all over it anyways. Still amazing that it was a rental car.

Same model from this thread:
https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=140120

Wasn't a rental, per se, but the owner rented it to the guy that crashed it.

It wasn't even close to top speed when it wrecked either.

When I read the title to this thread I instantly thought of that car. I was waching an episode of MTV Cribs where they show just the cars and some huge music producer had just got one. He said that it was one of only 4 in the US rite now. That thing was SWEET. It had 2 keys. One normal in the dash key and one behind the driver seat on the flore. The in the dash one was for normal driving and only alowed the car to produce around 500HP and if you put the second one in the flore it allowed the car to produce over 1000HP. He said it cost him around $1.6 million.

Just went and wached that video. That is sweet. Gota love Top Gear. NO WAY an American car show would ever dream of pulling any of the stunts they do.
