The sound alone is probably worth $10k of its cost...

Holy shit! 1200hp in a featherweight Lotus chassis? That's sicko!

Yeah, Hennessy apparently doesn't fuck around.

IF I invaded Dubai and stole all their money, this is the only car I'd be interested in for that price--not a Veyron, not a Konneggisgeegesgseg, not a Hyurraah...

But, seeing as I'm part of the 99% which will soon be reduced to serfdom when The Collapse happens, I guess it's just pure fantasy, just as unreachable as the old Countach poster I had over my bed as a kid.

The Alpine Stereo one with the red Countach? Keep hittin' up eBay...

What's a "Hyurraah"?

Similar, but mine was the just the full profile, black on a black background, with subtle lighting to show its form. Cool poster, probably still at my mother's house somewhere.

Nice! I think that was the first one of those types from the 80's. Then came a bunch of followups with different cars.
