You may have already seen this car – or the pre-production version at least – being hammered around the Top Gear test track by Richard Hammond.  In the year or so since then it’s been given a facelift to make it look more like the lunatic it really is, and has finally been put on sale.

This demonic looking single-or-2-seater is built at the Nürburgring in Germany and pushes out just over 500bhp courtesy of a 5 litre V10 engine from a BMW M5.  0-62mph is done away with in 3.2 seconds, and the top speed is a blistering 215mph.  It’s kitted out with Brabham brakes, leather racing seats and… er… that’s about it.  Equipment levels are reassuringly sparse.  The production run is limited to just 30 cars (of which 5 are already sold) and delivery will start in January 2010.

So what’s not to like?  Well, nothing if you approve of your car grinning like a serial killer and costing around £300,000…
