Super-Dooper-Coupe

So Maybach (of ridiculously luxurious sedan fame) decided to make a ridiculously luxurious coupe. Of course they wanted it fast too.

and it was.

700HP from a Bi-Turbo'ed V12 took it up to 351km/h
(of course at this speed they had to do things like seal the wheels off to avoid the turbulance ripping the sheet metal off...)

Details Here

I dont think that you'ld wanna be ripping through the city with a 700hp carbon fibre car. Theres a huge difference between race track performance vehicles and everyday life cars.
Adding in that the vehicle has to pass certain safety tests before being street legal.

lighter is safer, heavier means there will be more momentum going through the turns.
