Indeed it does, but I don’t think we get those here in North America… Also my winning lotto ticket has not arrived so all 3 are on hold right now.

I think it'll be available in NA because Lawrence stroll is Canadian so I don't think he'll neglect the north american market. I also saw some valkyrie pro's coming to North America so I suspect the standard version to come here too.


Lol exactly, my winning lottery ticket has yet to be drawn.

Perhaps that site is using the shorter configuration of the track? The GT-BS time on the site is also roughly 5-seconds off.

Hitting the rev limiter. IE, gear limited top speed vs being power limited like most vehicles.
