Usually porcelain is heavy & breaks easily if struck. The style, paint & engine may be fantastic, but what good is being able to reach over 250 mph. Even on the Audubon that's ridiculous. German autobahns have no general speed limit, but the advisory speed limit (Richtgeschwindigkeit) is 130 kilometres per hour (81 mph). Like the Salt Flats are the only place you could open it up in the USA. Besides i don't think it could be made legal for sale in the USA. EVEN IF YOU PUT SOME TYPE GOVERNOR TO LIMIT THE SPEED IT COULD BE REMOVED.
