A turbo added to the 4.2 and....duddah.... 888bhp! £200k and it's all yours. Ironically its called the R888:

0-100km/h (62mph) in just 3 seconds and a (limited!) top speed of 360km/h (223mph).
Fast enough?

Do you think they had to push it to the limit to get 888bhp, or do you almost wonder if they've detuned what they could of had to reach the magic number?

It looks like twin turbo due to the twin intake.
I shouldnt imagine the lag will be too bad. With a 4.2 it should be very driveable. I would love to know the specs
