Actually, reading the copy of Wheels magazine (its an australian mag) they say thatt the Yellow Bird can hit 378km/h and that is confirmed.

I like the low frequency bark of the forced induction low rpm flat 6. But...

The sound of Testarossa Flat 12 was the best for me :)

This is the car they should have been comparing the F40 to, not the 959.

VMAX is mainly drag power and gearing..... weight doesn't play any meaningful part in the equation.

VMAX isn't just power...it's a LOT to do with aerodynamics, gearing, weight.

The CTR is light, has really low drag, and that's why it's so damn quick.

HELL of a car...check out the EVO 0-100-0 time (and imagine if it had an up to date set of ceramic brakes - less weight more stopping power) :)

RESPECT!!! :)
