It isn't from the 70s and it isn't the first production car to break 200 mph either. Not to mention it has been knocked off it's 236 mph (have to check exact numbers so this is from memory) pedistel by
The Koenig CCR first, then the Bugatti Veyron. The Koenig went over 240 mph and the Veyron is said to be capable of 250 mph. What is so cool about the F1 is that it took over a decade to do this and the car still looks modern. Not sure if they still do, but McLaren still had a brand new one in their show room if anyone wants one lol.

BTW, I think the first vid is best seen and not heard. OH LOOK, it's not as orange as I thought! :h
