When introduced, it was the fastest street legal car in production, with a claimed top speed of 390 km/h (240 mph), and an acceleration that takes it up to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 3.5 seconds. In 2006, however, it was beaten by the Bugatti Veyron. The CC8S's body and chassis are made of carbon fiber, reinforced with kevlar and aluminium honeycomb. These facts combined with the engine give it a power to weigh ratio of 2.4 kg/kW (4 lb/hp), an impressive figure equal to the McLaren F1 and greater than the 2.6 kg/kW (4.3 lb/hp) of the Bugatti Veyron.
