Wheel size just keeps getting bigger and bigger, doesn't it?

That must be the new open-cockpit "hybrid" for 2011 Le Mans... (Now if it just had a wing...)

Looks impractical. I don't think you can buy R Comp tires in that size.

Loooove the red!

OTOH, They come in yellow-orange for coffee harvesting. Seen with frivolous options here, as long as they have nav, I'd buy one just for the color. To heck with specialized functionality!

As a similarly fabulous aesthetic statement, the CGT is an alternative to getting dirty.

I think I'd opt for the wide-body coffee wagen. I think it would corner better. The 2WD model looks a little narrow.

Nice! A Lambo always on tracks! A dream come true! Who needs wheels anyway?

Porsche? They did had some trouble with tracked vehicles; discontinued them. That's why they won't warranty a car that's been "tracked."
