If you have to ask....

Standard retort from olde worlde Rolls Royce salesmen.

This car is not for you, if you need to ask. Chunky looking thang, isn't it Alan. I prefer the look of the older EB-110.

Long ago I came to the conclusion that serious power and performance can relatively easily deliver 170-180+ mph. Loads of bikes can do this for small money, and the CD of a bike and rider is extemely poor. Going faster than 200 mph seems to involve a whole new set of parameters, almost like a "sound barrier" The Maclaren F1 was the first to comprehensively break this particular glass ceiling, but at crazy cost. 700 or more hp seems to be the formula.
