The 25th, is heavier and has worse aerodynamics. The next fastest is the old LP400 because without the wheelarches it was so much more aerodynamic. I've had my car in Germany at 191.6Mph. This was verified with a GPS system. I've also done a run with the rear wing fitted, and the acceloration about 155Mph was so slow I couln't be bothered.
The fastest road legal Countachs were converted by a company in Germany called Koenig, this was a twin turbo and depending on the gearing would to about 217Mph!
Wow. So you own a LP5000S? I remember that those were one of my favorites back in the day. What a sweet car.

Relating to the Germany company, Koenig, are they at all related to the new "Koenigsegg CC" supercar, or do the similarities in the name have nothing to do with each other?
