Oh god, no they didn't...

That is mighty ugly. 800bhp is alot for a 4cyl. The car weighs a shit load too. I'm not sure the curb weight on a stock. Well i guess the engine and parts would weight it down quite a bit. Looks like they wrapped everything in gun metal too.

It only does 208Mph...lol

Single purpose Bonneville Saltflats car with 800+ horsepower that can only manage 208 mph? lol

^^^Compare with.....

It was 480 pounds of big, ugly, aerodynamic motorcycle. It's 1300cc fuel-injected, four-cylinder motor put out over 155 rear-wheel horsepower. That's 16 hp more than any other stock sportbike at the time. Out of the box it would do sub 10-second quarter-miles and would top out at a real 196+ mph! Bad.... bad craziness. ~excerpt from Motorbyte review of the Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa

Good for bike lovers but it is silly how cheap Japanese bikes are. Aren't Bimota's essentially a Suzuki with Ohlins and of course the cache of Italian name and bodywork?

not sure about most recent ones, but no, Bimota used the engine and had their own frame and forks and angles. So it handled differently - seldom for the better

...seldom for the better

All that and... seldom for the better.

And then they cost 4X as much.

Meh, you can go 500mph for less than £100 these days.
