The only car faster that day was a very special 550hp Lancia Delta Integrale with launch control, flat shift, anti-lag, and sticky race rubber.  A target for the upcoming race-spec demo Murtaya...?

Remember, the demo Murtaya was full road spec, including hardtop, power windows, Toyo Proxes T1 tires, and 340hp 2.5L flat-4.  The gearbox, rear differential, and all mechanical parts were standard road car equipment sourced from a 1996 donor vehicle requiring a shift to 3rd gear before 60 mph.
