I've heard the Safety Car is a beast of a car, but what are its specs like HP, engine, top speed etc.?

They show on-board footage from the safety car every once and a while and it sounds pretty hoss. They have a former racing driver at the wheel (can't recall his name), but he really drives the tires off the thing. It looks slow compared to the race cars obviously but its no joke, they really push the thing hard around the track.

Bernd Maylander and I don't know who the other guy is.

I've seen it drift out of the first corner at Monza once.

The safety car is the Mercedes Benz SL63 AMGi believe with 6208cc V8 with 525BHP, 0-62 in 4.6 secs and a top speed of 155 (limited) but i should imagine they have taken that off ?

The safety cars have an awesome sounding engine. Actually I would rate them up there in some of the very best sounding cars ever.
