From the maybe-650-hp-was-enough-after-all department comes this shameful display.
That mass of carbon fiber strewn across the B14 Autobahn near Stuttgart, Germany is none other than a prototype for the Pagani C9, the replacement for the Zonda. Why Stuttgart, you ask? Well, like the Zonda, the C9 uses a Mercedes-Benz motor. Instead of the 7.3-liter AMG V12 that amply powered the Zonda, the C9 apparently uses a twin-turbo version of Mercedes' 6.0-liter V12, making somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 hp.
Of course, in the SAE horsepower standard that we use in the United States, that 700 hp converts to "too much."

During these tough economic times, Pagani has shown true leadership in combining its road-worthiness and crash testing programs to save both time and money.

B14 is not an Autobahn, but a Bundesstrasse.

"I didn't do it" claimed Bo Stephan Eriksson immediately upon hearing of the crash. He then went on to describe a mysterious one-armed man named Dietrich who he saw leave the crash site.

That car is facing the wrong way on he highway. With no other cars within field of view involved in the accident. He pullled a veryon and was "reaching" for something that had fallen on he floor and ended up kissing the barrier. Those rich guys can't drive. Bet you it was an exec not engineer.
