They were originally only about $1.2 mil but inflation and all that... The cars are hand built in an amazing shop.
The funny thing is the engines, rated at 1001 HP, are basically a VW part.

That's an excellent video, Wombat.
Sadly, I don't think you could get any state to actually show that. It would be too painful to watch. U.S. laws are way too squeamish for our own good.

In NY it's illegal to use a cell phone while driving unless you have one of those blue tooth ear gadgets. Technically it's not illegal to text, but it is illegal to dial, so you get pulled over anyhow, and good luck proving you weren't dialing.

This crash is starting to show signs of a publicity stunt. It just happened to be filmed, the guy driving the car owns a car restoration company, etc etc
