One of those was in front of me (not the police version). I was in a roadworks area and the speed limit was 40mph. when the limit ended, the car took off. I have NEVER seen a car accellerate that fast from 40 in my life, and probably never will again!

I know what you mean, a friend of mine has a CLS350 ("only" a 270HP V6), but I was still impressed when I drove it. I can only imagine how a 730HP V12 performs...

That lightbar does not look very aerodynamic for a 200 mph car.

I'm confident the 730HP can easily take care of the aerodynamic needs
