    Yes, on the moller.com website they have video of it. Just not video of it without the teather. For insurance reasons.

    Hah. That 4 rotor sounds like a V10! I couldn't believe how fast it accelerated!

    Check out the Corolla with the rotary. Not even the bugatti veyron accelerates that quickly while rolling.

    You might want to watch this before you say that.
    that's a Porsche Ruf CTR yellow bird, that Veyron is playing with.
    He's even giving the CTR a few seconds head start to make sure it's at max boost.

    Yeah, that Corolla video has been one of my favorites for a while now. Can you imagine what it's like in the car when that happens.
