Here is a link to a report that aired on BBC's Top Gear. All I have to say is "Where can I buy one?"

It's 11.5M

I saw that video a couple months ago and i still can't believe how much electronics are put into that car, no wonder it cost that much.

LOL! Did you hear what Tiff said in the end? "With lots of silicon, it changed the car from being flat, to a playful double DD" !!

Maybe I'm the only one who found humour in that?

As I have a 56K modem and don't want to download it, is this the video where he gets the car completely sideways and such and the car's electronics just fix it and it goes? If so i saw that one, and it is cool. . . I like the fact that you can hook a computer up to the car and download the technical data from the onboard computer.

Yep, that's it.

It just looks like one blast of a ride. Imagine what a couple of grand can do to the car... 400-450 HP. 10K and you are easily looking at 550-600HP. Talk about a giant killer.

Basically the guy says the car drives like a Sony Playstation game, you can't do anything wrong. He says something like "It's a 50,000 Pound (80,000 US$) (Sony) Playstation)" and "Feel like you have been fitted with God's feet" (I can just seen a Monty Python skit" and "You get in to the most terrible mess and the computer just sorts it all out for you"

What a toy!
