I hope they're putting a roll cage in that thing... ~180mph is no joke, especially in a small car like the Lupo.

Just two weeks ago, a modified Honda Insight lost control at that speed, you can see the results here:
Hasport Insight flips 8 times at 170+ MPH at Bonneville - Insight Central: Honda Insight Forum

Video of the crash here:

You can see in the after pics, not much left but the cage on top, and it's even more evident what would have happened without it in the video.

That car was running a K-series 2.0L from an Acura RSX.
