longtail don't know, but Ralph Lauren paid $3 Mil for the F1 LM, IIRC. It's got to be 2-4 Million. Insane...

Exactly right. Looks like a private jet... sort of.
What would you all prefer... couple of Enzos or one of this?

I'll take the McLaren's! Not only better looking and sounding, but with my luck if I were to buy a pair of Enzo's I'd end up with Detrich's and Eddie Griffen's fiasco's!

If that's the same GTR in the vid, they've got both tails for it apparently. In the vid it does not have the long tail.

PS - anybody who would pick a lousy Enzo over an F1-GTR is just an idiot

I saw it last week - they do have it at Symbolic of La Jolla now (at least they did a week ago). Good thing I brought an extra pair of pants.

Asking price is $1,850,000.00. The driver's seat is a bit torn up, maybe they'll knock off 50 bucks for that... ?

Symbolic has some outrageous cars, for sure ! Thanks for sharing, very nice.

yeah they'll probably give you "the Lotus discount" -- twice as much
