The custom-built, 1995 Mercedes Benz Lotec C1000 up for sale on eBay may not have the looks of the Bugatti Veyron or even Weber’s faster one, but it certainly has the power to keep up on the highway. Constructed entirely from carbon fiber and aerospace material, the C1000 packs a Mercedes 5.6cc twin turbo V8 engine that throws off 1,000 horsepower at 6,200 rpm. This results in a reported top end speed of 268 mph and a 0-60 mph sprint time of 3.2 seconds. In comparison, the Veyron and the Weber do 248+ and hit 0-62 in 2.5 and 2.7 seconds respectively.
