But times have changed. Today, if you're aiming for a time below 8 minutes, you'll see an Italian ghost with golden shoes spitting fire in your face as he passes you.
And that would be the Pagani Zonda R. And no, mom, the R doesn't stand for Reverse, but more in the line of Race! Considering that it flew round the Nurburgring in 6m 47s, the mere shadow of the Ferrari 599XX slowly faded...
So let us give thanks to the Italians, not only for their pizza invention or the fabulous pasta they make, but for the pure greed for speed they have, giving the world the fastest way from point A to point B!
And next time, when you sell your car and it's Italian, think twice. Will your new car have the pedigree?
