he Corvette ZR1-based Bertone Mantide could be making a run at the Corvette ZR1's Nurburgring lap time according to Bertone's chief designer Jason Castriota. The first owner of the $2 million Mantide, British-born financier and "gentleman racer" Dan Watkins is considering making a run at the Corvette ZR1's 7:26.4 Nurburgring lap time and Castriota thinks that goal is obtainable.
Having a Lamborghini or Ferrari are not necessarily the hottest toys on the block, especially if somebody else turns up in this Mantide. It gets more eyeballs than any other car on the planet right now and all of that is down to the way this thing looks.
