Stats:
1006 to 1026 SAE net hp
Each cylinder has 4 valves, for a total of 64
power to weight ratio of 529 bhp/tonne
60mph in approximately 2.46
At full throttle, it uses more than 125 L/100 km (2.1 mpg), which would empty its 100 L fuel tank in just 12.5 minutes.
Steady 253 mph (407.5 km/h): 2.1 mpg U.S.

Oh man. That's car abuse right there! Nothing like tearing off the front end of your million dollar (USD) super car.

Sure there is. Tearing off the front end of your brother's million-dollar sports car!

But maybe it'll put a little strain on the brotherly relationship for a couple of weeks or so. Anyway, I'm glad that only the car got hurt.
