That's such a great car. Would be nice to be insanely wealthy and have a few like this one.

The fan poking thru the top is pretty cool. Is that so if I hit a pedestrian they will fly up over my head and then it sucks them down like a garbage disposal and getting rid of the evidence?

Nope. Two different cars (though possibly the same engine type). I saw them both at the Monterey Historics this year! Beautiful machines with a beautiful sound! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Love the 718 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

then came the RS60

I think that was Christian Heins of Brazil at Spa. He survived this one. Wasn't so lucky at the '62 Le Mans in a Renault Alpine

The first car posted was called "Grossmutter", or "Grandmother". Evidently it was very competitive for a number of years after the chassis was built, making it a real "old lady". So they started calling it Grandmother.
