Running at Bonneville sure seems like a lot of fun, but entails more than a few modifications to the family car. This 2013 Superformance B-Class Lakester for sale on Hemmings.com, however, has been designed for the singular task of going very fast in a long, straight line. As for how fast, even the car’s builder isn’t quite sure: On its solitary run at the Salt Flats, the Lakester ran to 186 MPH in first gear, but a broken shifter cable prevented the driver from engaging second gear.
