Default As useful as a chocolate teapot

Another unhinged company and CEO trying, or talking of trying, to make the 'worlds fastest production car' BUT where can you use that legally, and what use is 0-60 mph in 2.2 seconds or top speed of 290 mph using 8.0+ litres V8 engine. This company is as nuts as McLaren with their outrageous offerings and who is going to buy one of these, Lyons Motor Car Co is not exactly a well known pedigree now is it, you could wind up being the proud owner of their one and only production car for an outrageous price, shades of DeLorean but without conning money from the gullible British government to support their jobs.

Do I talk from some experience, yep, sure do. I owned a Caterham race car, ballistically fast acceleration, clocked at 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a low ratio diff but max speed of 145 mph, well not that fast. What use was all that apart from track racing, none. A pal, who will remain anonymous has an auto parts company, he spent years designing and developing a beautiful road/race car, truly magnificent BUT then the 2007/2008 financial crash happened and his dream and work of decades also as no-one had any spare cash to spend.
