Does PETA know about this? But seriously, some racehorse owners have too much money.

    I read somewhere that 1 hp is actually equivalent to one-and-a-half horses...anyone care to confirm or deny? (ew...half a horse) ...in which case, this is a .66 hp vehicle. Let me get my xB and I'll race it! I'm feeling lucky!

    Stupid, stupid money. I worked with horses for years, and let me tell you, this is tame. Check out the transport semi's sometime, some of them cost significantly more than a top of the line RV. Hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    IIRC this was developed and is built by Prodrive (the owners of Aston Martin). As for horsepower, it's more like 1 horse generating 7hp at peak performance, over a short period of time. I could be wrong - long time ago since I was reading about it.
