The year is likely expressed as the metric equivalent.

Don't know why they put 1958 as year. Weineck company was founded in 2000 and builds very big engines with big HP and they build their own Cobra with has very very little to do with the known nice 289 or 427.

Aside from the fact that the advertiser is a dutch company, who made the mistake...Weineck itself has its reputation for these peak performance cars achieving 0-120mph in little more than 5 seconds. They just wrap "a" carbon Cobra body around the engine and the body has to fit the rest. Close to a F1 car with 0,8kg per hp (0,7kg is F1).
Go for a ride and judge it then compared to a Veyron and others with less power.

Not that the power is easy, but it's the easy part.

How you get it on the ground and get traction has always eluded me.

That's quite a machine they have built. Too bad I don't have a landing strip to run it on here?
