If I were to pay $280000 for a car, then apart from being fast it would also have to be good looking. Adn this just isn't it :(

[yg60m]

Oh yes i read something about it some months ago, it is build in Switzerland.
They project to make a C113s with an MTM tuned Audi engine with 641 bhp. :oops:

[pedrohmb]

yeah...the Volvo engine is only used in the prototype.
With an MTM tuned Audi engine, the orca free willy will reach 360km/h

651bhp ?? It goes fast enough with the 375bhp !!

I think it would look a lot better with fatter and larger tires all around. The front looks okay to me, but the back...is a lost cause. I wonder how it handles.

[Caplax40]

Looks good to me, but the front bumper should be a little more rounded and not so jagged at the bottom!

[TT]

I saw the Orca time ago... the shape is damn strange.. but beeing Swiss I have to say it must be a good car :D

[yg60m]

I don't know if you remember the prototype of the Bugatti EB110, not the definitive shape but the one that was used to develop the car, it was very similar to this.

[Schwalbe]

The Orca looks good, and thats true it is very similar to Bugatti EB 110 prototype.

[corvette97]

the shape is a lil strange, but the back end reminds me a porsche gt1, the front end ts too pointy but its like a bugatti eb110, and the lambo doors, i like this cars in fact i love that this is a SUPERCAR, cuz' it is a supercar, and has an inline 5, shit fuel economy on a supercar!!! and its dam fast, i would definitely buy this one instead of a 360 or a gallardo :P

[ferrari550]

That car is too ugly for $280 000, sure its fast but it doesn't do it for me

[TeflonTron]

I think that there are faar too many straight lines, and I agree that the tires look very skinny.

[TT]

I just realised there is also a nice 15 MB vid by Auto Motor und Sport :) around the net :)

[SupraPolak]

It looks too boxy and almost incomplete. Those headlights looks like they were just shoved on there at the last minute.

This is what happens when you develop a car with engineers involvement only IMHO :) Throw in a couple hairdressers into the development team and you might end up with something that looks decent and goes like phuck too :mrgreen:

[Toronto]

i think this car looks very good, it looks scary and like somthing not of this world, and that is what i tihink they wanted it to look like, just think about this, this scary lookin car pulls up and just rips it down the highway, i shit my pants just thinkin about it

[Ivanhoe]

600?! 90% percent of drivers cant even handle 200... ohh boy where are we headed too? :roll:

[racer_f50]

that car's not really that bad looking. it probly woulda sold great in the 70s/80s with all those angles. I mean, come on, the Countach is uglier than that thing and it sold pretty well.

but for today's standards, give me a F50 or Enzo any time.

[ESR_balla]

I like it alot.

That's just fucking insane. :shock:

[yg60m]

And hard to believe ... :wink:

[jordanmelcon]

I don't care what anyone says, that car is fast and scary looking. I promise if it pulled up next to you, you would feel like you were having a childhood nightmare.

[w0n]

.....AAARRRGGGHHH that is .........so.........SCARY!!

im scared for life

[5vz-fe]

It looks abit like Ford's GT90...anyways, it is just plain ugly.....there are TONS and TONS of other choices before that piece of fast ugly looking car

[Sm@ck]

who gives 2 craps about looks, thought i think it looks greatt. just look at the numbers 375bhp and top speed of 205mph, thats sick and almost to good to believe, even with its weight of 1874lbs, wayyyyyyyy less then any other supercar.

what are the plans for this, super car or race car only?


read the first post on the second page.

btw that was the prototype you qouted, but the "real version" has 675hp...
of which 99 will be made, starting next year January

[Sm@ck]

well the standard road edition will have 650 (not 375). There is no 375 edition of the car. AS for the 850hp edition, I am not sure if it will be street legal.

But as you correctly point out, its the weight of this car <900kg which will make this thing impressive.

[SilviaEvo]

I like it alot.
obviously you are blind :lol:

[neilo63]

That would have been cool in the 80's, but most people all learnt from those mistakes, that is minus the designers of that. :|
