Default Breaking 600bhp Saph, anyone know the car?

Link here > http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/776711.htm

I just thought it was unusual for such a big spec, high power car to not be a bit more well known...

Perhaps it is.. Anyone know it?

I can, 180 takes 17secs 210 around 30 .

There are lots of cars out there not known on PF with lots of horses, 2 such cars in Basingstoke who have never been on PF or ever want to. Im trying to get these cars to the next Daddy Thrash because they would never get an invite , both would join the select band of 180+ Cossies.

Your right of course, my attempt at humour, I really do have to be carefull what I say .
A 600bhp car would take a lot longer, Euans car for instance took 48secs to reach its 188mph with around 580bhp. Mine has enough Power not to slow up so reaches 188 in sub 20secs.
