    the impression we are talking about would be your shape impressed on the seat during the first acceleration.

    Or the colourful impression I would expect to be left in one's trousers?

    Just wondering also, now that this one has pretty regular 962 bodywork, unlike the beautifully vented and swoopy CR, what would win in a dogfight: This or the Koenig C62, the DP962 or the Dauer 962lm?
    Not just Vmax wise either.
    Buying a car and not driving it is like buying a meal and not eating it.

    From the CR, yeah I have all the details somewhere, but can't look them up now. Think two cars were never payed for and seeing as they're million dollar cars, the company went bust.

    Hello there! Can you perhaps tell me if this car has allways been black?

    For me personally, the Schuppan, although being a brain-meltingly fast car, is not really worth its £2.8m price tag. (the model which i am referring to is the 962CR ''flat nose'') Personally, i would much rather own the Dauer 962 road car - essentially the same car, but £600,000 - compared to £2,800,000 (probably worth more now though...) Plus theres also the fact that the Dauer is also available in different colors, such as my personal favorite for this car - yellow. Then there's the final fact that the Schuppan is slightly slower than the Dauer - 249 mph compared to 251, 0-62 mph in 2.6 compared to 2.5.

    Is this the same car Alan DeCadenet featured in the Victory By Design series?
    Great stuff... when Speed TV still programmed for enthusiasts.

    Thought it might be on YouTube, but alas... missing segment 7.
