In case anybody is interested, George Lucas (of Star Wars fame), just purchased this car. It was delivered to him by the owner of the company.

I believe the cost was $200,000+

Here is the article information...

I watched a biography about him. He is into fast cars. George Lucas almost died in his younger years when he flipped his Fiat

$200k is pretty inexpensive for a car like that. (*And for George Lucas too!)

I'm surprised he didn't get a Bugatti Veyron:




0-60mph:

MT900 - 3.5 sec
Bugatti Veyron - 2.5 sec

Top Speed:

MT900 - 180+ mph
Bugatti Veyron - 253.2 mph (track verified)

Bugatti Veyron Cost = $1,440,800 (considerably more! But George can afford it!)
