Always been interested in driving a Mercedes-Benz which is rarer than the average C-Class? We have an interesting suggestion for you. It's a Lotec Mercedes-Benz C1000 which is for sale, a model which is so rare that isn't not strange you've never heard of it. Before you put your money on it, it might be handy to know a few details about this collector's item.
The Lotec Mercedes-Benz C1000 is built with the intention of building the fastest car back in 1995. With only one copy ever made it was seriously expensive to build (rumors say 3.4 million dollars were used for the development), despite that the specs and technical parts are worth considering. The drive train includes a 5.6 liters V8 with a double turbo. This engine produces 1000 bhp, which is referred in the name. With that you can sprint to hundred kph in just 3.2 seconds and a topspeed of 268 miles per hour, or 431 kilometers per hour. The made is made out of carbon fiber, and was very smooth for that time. The total weight was only 1080 kilograms, so the car nearly reached the magic bhp/weight ratio of 1:1. When you're in the launched rocket, a three-point seatbelt is there to hold you in place. For the Mercedes-Benz freaks, this is just heaven.
The price asked for it is somewhere between 1 and 1.3 million American dollars. For the power only this is quite a bargain, because a new, and way less exclusive Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is more expensive. On the moment of speaking it is auctioned off, you have time until 3 November to collect money and bid. Remember, this is the only chance of driving this car, because even games like Gran Turismo 5 and Forza haven't got this model included in their games.
