    Zero to sixty in just under 4 seconds. Don't know the top speed, but Brandes & Dschuedow added a rear spoiler to aid high-speed stability. Probably around 300km/h. Ahhh, the glory of weighing around the same as a CL-class steering wheel

    If you thought he was talking about the Gemballa, he was actually talking about the Lotus Esthi, by the way .

    If you knew that, I agree I don't have any tested specs for the Esthi, but I would predict best results would be 0-60 in around 3.4 and top speed of around 300km/h. The top speed wouldn't be too insane, because it's "only" got 380 hp

    the most insane car ive ever seen is a 55 chev with a 1930s mustang war plane engine in it.it has twin superchargers 16 cylinders and over 3000hp....it took the guy about 10 years to build it.

    A crazy Ebglish guy put a R-R Merlin into a Capri ( I think that's what it was ).
    But can't find any references to it on-line.
    But did find there's a Bentley special been built with the MERLIN.
    If that's run with the short aviation exhaust ports it would sound awesome.

    Can't believe any of these machiens could turn in less than hal a mile

    i think ive seen that car, the bodywork looks like it's been pot-riveted on, the guy had to stick the engine in backwards and i think its only got a 2 speed transmission or something.
