Clue is in the specs...Sauber steering wheel and a Ferrari V8.

Sauber C30 from 2011.

Nice piece of kit regardless of who owns it now. I'm guessing Sauber had to sell off all their old cars to collectors in recent years to keep going through the difficult financial times. Yes I'm jealous.

It doesn't sound like it has a 2.4L F1 engine in it.

It sounds far more like some sort of third party 3.5L v8 engine to me.
