I drove a supercharged Ariel Atom around that track - it was anything but slow motion!
No, I remember being fascinated by these and went down a rabbit hole of reading up about it. It needs to be the M297 V12 which was only in the W140 S Class and R129. The reason for that is that it’s the same engine as used in the CLK GTR and Paganis.
