Yes, running over a rabbit at that speed would probably crash the car... and you'd never see it or know what made you crash!

Wow. This thing would leave a Bugatti in the dust. That is saying something. Really rich boys toys. It is a pretty car.

It is really nice looking. I think it should come with a parachute! Like an automatic one in the event it goes out of control to keep the rear in the rear and the front up front.

Too bad it would be only fun to drive on the Autobahn, and how could it not have any tire rubbing issues?

Because it was designed to work that way with the correct wheelwell opening size, suspension travel, wheel offset, and tire size. Anyone with even a basic understanding of automotive design and tire fitment would know that. :D🖕
