No performance numbers were given, but seeing as the car only weighs 2,866 pounds, it should be good for at least 200 mph.

A dark blue accent wall and white, gold and gray circle decals give the illusion of a starry sky in this nursery. The homeowners wanted a look that would be appropriate as their little boy grew, and a solar system theme was born. A must for the nursery: a truly comfortable rocker. Noting that tired new parents often have their hands full, the designers made sure to include an occasional table within reach and an ottoman.

Nothing breaks your heart more than a beautiful supercar going to waste.
