Crazy fast car people!
check it
The original version of this car had 730 hp which makes it the most powerfull converable in the universe with a gob of torque at over 1,000 ft lbs of torque
When Mercedes tested the original car, or prototype, with the traction control on, the car would just sit there it had soo much torque, cause the minute you gave it any gas, the traction control would just cause the car to just sit there, and if you took the traction control off, the second you gave it gas, it would light the tires up and not go anywhere
so Mercedes lowered the torque to around just above 800 ft lbs, and then the car was more more drivable. The test driver (Jeremy Clarkson) said over all, as fast as this car is, the gigantic amount of power and torque this car has, it actually harms the handling of the car.
With a few slight modifications, this Mercedes 6 liter twin turbo V12 will put out a hell of a lot of power

:edit above post:
The motor was actually a moddified 6.3 liter V12 twin turbo. All the stock internals were ripped out, and race internals put in.
