They are racing tires.
Is now the point to mention that i'm pretty sure the only V8 that Cosworth have in production is the DFV? They supply the heritage market at the moment, but there's no reason they can't send them out the door pre-assembled.
They do claim 630 bhp for the engine in this car, and the most powerful 3-liter DFV derivative topped out in its day about 100bhp short of that figure.
I don't know if nowadays Cosworth keeps building examples for historic F1 cars or if the engines are maintained by independent tuners.
Different entity, but same owning company. They are connected to Lotus through Proton who owns both entities.Big whoop ... a million dollar car from a team with how many 2010 F1 points? :lol:
Still guess you can't accuse them from trying to profiteer from their success.
I watched a special on a P2 team at Le Mans. Yes price did matter for them. Most racing teams have shoe string budgets.
Why, when you can buy an IndyCar in 2012 for 385,000 and go just as fast (maybe faster)?
streetfire.net said:THIS VS ZR1????????????????????????????????????
Because everyone will be able to do this, while only twenty-five people will be able to boost their ego with owning this thing. It's not for race teams on a small budget, it's not even a track day toy, it's for billionaires who want to play F1 driver.

No Veyron vs Americanshelbything vs that yet? I am very disappointed.
This being said.........I imagine this thing on trackdays in the middle of souped up Ford Focus, Peugeot and Porsches
I imagine you'd either just hire the whole damn track for yourself or, if you're insanely rich, you have a private racetrack.
