BTW, this finnish article has some more details, try google translator if it does any good for it:

One bit there was that it was not possible to go much faster as air resistance was so great that tires were slipping, even car was all wheel drive, having wheel spin because of air resistance at 200mph must be somewhat priceless experience :lol: Quite strong motor in that car too, would buy one, but convertible is not very useful in here :mrgreen:
