Pretty sure it was in Gran Turismo 2 as a prototype car too. The sharp lines kind of remind me of a Reventon.

Built in 1995 and has a V12...Hmm wouldn't be a Jaguar V12 would it ?

Probably wouldn't pass Oz design rules for rego but if you could afford it it'd be nice to just start it up on weekends to listen to it

Created by using parts of two Lincoln V8 engines, engineers removed the last pair of cylinders from the rear of one engine and the first pair of cylinders from the front of the other engine. The cut-down engines were then welded together with the final result being a 90-degree V12, which utilized a 90.2 mm bore and a 77.3 mm stroke to achieve maximum power.

Ah thanks.

I know they stopped production on the Jag V12 around then (much to the disgust of Jag owners!) and thought they might have had a few spare engines without a home.

Another car on there CSX-2196( the “Flip-Top” Cobra 427 prototype) is another car I can't believe is up for auction at the same time.
What "IS" the world coming to???? To have deep deep pockets, and an equally secure garage to store things in....

Tis the way of big business these days..... "Bugger history, just give me the money!"

Dream on. Bugatti couldn't do it at the time. And I don't think that the GT90 would match the F1's weight.

The Cobra was interesting, a lot of GT in it. I can remember that the exhaust of the GT90 got so hot that they had to use the same material as the spce shuttles tiles to insulate the bodywork.

What would the value of that car be?

I think it looks ok but the wheels look shocking.

Quarter mile of 10.9 seconds. 0 - 100 in 3.1 sconds. Pretty quick.

claimed top speed was 409kph or 253mph. Im not sure about that though. Could be possible maybe?

and i was refering to the engine, with some work and maybe a lighter car could be a serious machine

Not sure about the home consoles but it was in V8Supercars 2 on the PSP. When you got going quick the rear spoiler would lift up.
