It wasn't the fastest car at Le Mans. It didn't win because it raced in a special class all by itself. 24 hours . . . 2400 miles. All that went wrong with the car was the transmission failed and had to be replaced - took 90 minutes.

But it did have the distinction of being the loudest car at Le Mans and every time it went past the grandstands, the crowd went nuts.
