Who cares, the price tag is too high anyway. Anyone who bought it would have rocks in there head, or they cant drive and just want something that goes fast in a straight line. A typical VL driver would buy this car if he could afford it.

I had a read of the article last. The reason behinf the 12.90 1/4 was due to a slippery track (Drags the night before). It also goes to mention it took 14.7s to get to 500m.

Read it again, it says the track is sticky with rubber, and it says "even with the rubbered up track surface, traction will be virtually non existant''.

Lets face it, all that extra power is useless unless you can get it to the ground. As for durability of the things i'd be suprised if the auto and driveshafts would last very long at all with that big dose of extra torque.
