And gearing and aerodynamics are two very different things the car may be able to do it if you change the body. And when they were building the car on Rides it appeared to have the tranny on the engine not at the rear.
um... first of, the Concept DOES have a transaxle in it :roll:
also, if the Ford GT could max out 6th... i believe the ratios are quite similar.

and i dont believe this car could go hugely above 200mph if made a production car, based on aero.
How does it have a transaxle? the engine is in the front and the drive wheels are in the back if the trans is in the back it is most likely a seperate unit from the axle in the rear much like on the Corvette where the Tranny and rear differential are sperate and bolted together. you see transaxles in AWD, FWD and Rear/mid engine cars rarely on front engine rear wheel drive cars.
