A lightweight carbon fibre body powered by a twin-turbo V8, 1,620bhp engine that can accelerate from 0 to 400km/h (249mph) in 30 seconds and on to a frankly outrageous top speed of 484km/h (301mph)

Recently sold at auction (for an undisclosed price, most likely north of 13 million) having been untouched, undriven and unregistered for two decades.
