1991 Lotec C1000 Coupe

The Lotec C1000 was developed for a member of Dubai's ruling Al Maktoum family. It is a one-off 'mega car' that cost roughly $2.2 million to complete. The Lotec was unveiled at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show, boasting 1000 horsepower with a top speed of 268 mph, thanks to its Mercedes-Benz 5.6-liter V8 Twin Turbo engine coupled with a five-speed manual transmission. Largely inspired by the Sauber C9, this road car is basically a Group C Le Mans racing car. On its release, the Lotec was featured in numerous period magazines.

HH Sheikh Ahmed Maktoum kept the car in Dubai until 2000, when the current owner purchased it - superbly preserved with 3,000 km on the odometer.
