Lotec C1000

The Mercedes-Benz Lotec C1000 was a One-off Megacar, jointly designed, developed and built by German automotive manufacturers Lotec and Mercedes-Benz. It was originally conceived in 1994, and constructed in 1995. The 1000 in the name stood for the number of horsepower it produced. It was powered by a twin-turbocharged Mercedes-Benz M117 V8 engine, capable of producing 1000 hp, which enables it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds, and could reach a theoretical top speed of 268 mph. At the time, it cost US$575,000 (worth about US$2.2 million in 2013). It is worth about US$7.2 million today.
