1995 Lotec C1000 Mercedes-Benz
Have you ever heard of the Lotec Mercedes-Benz
C1000? If you haven’t, I won’t hold it against you, because there was only one
ever produced.
The car was built after an oil tycoon from the
United Arab Emirates wanted to create the world’s fastest street-legal car. He
hired Lotec, a German company, to build the car. After working together with
Mercedes-Benz for five years, the C1000 was created.
It comes packing a Mercedes-Benz-sourced twin-turbo
5.6-liter V8 engine and a Hewland 5-speed manual transmission. Push this engine
to the limit and it will rocket from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds, and will keep you
planted until it hits its top speed of 268 mph.
