Ferraris and Lambos are pedestrian according to them.. and the price is not important if you want a non pedestrian looking car coz they are too common they say..

I got to see one at the start of the Gumball Rally in San Francisco a couple of years ago. Very awesome looking car, the top comes off and the doors open way up so we could get a great view of the interior. It looks VERY well built inside. It was supposed to be very fast. I don't know how fast it was, but it looked damn good on the side of Hwy 80 with the hood up....It broke and had to be towed from what I understood.

Rumor had it that he broke some internal...and Koenigsegg parts aren't just lying around...so the owner bought another Koenigsegg for over 300K as a donor car just for the part that he was looking for. Don't know how true this is but I believe it. Some of these guys are bankrolled big time.
