wow some of the best sports cars in the world right now have 4 seats, some even have 4 doors *mind blown*. also, straight from the R390's wikipedia page (yea i know, take it with a grain of salt):

"Only 2 R390 road cars were ever built, and one is stored at Nissan's Zama warehouse. The street-legal road car is capable of running 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and 0-100 mph in just 6.8 seconds. The 1/4 mile is accomplished in just 11.1 seconds at 134 mph (216 km/h). The top speed is 220 mph (350 km/h)."

i heard they had to make a few roadgoing versions of the race cars to pass hamoligation rules just like porsche with it's street versions of the 996 GT1. try a google search before spouting info
