The most of you will probably already know it, first I hated it, then I loved it, hate, love, hate, love...

But its a bad ass machine I would really like to see it on top gear, 5th gear
and so on, check the specs about the V12 engine and its weight :shock:

Tell me what you guys think about it...

I wasn't too keen on the designs of the two concepts, but this version is just epic!! A V12 or supercharged V8 at a gr8 power to weight ratio. Nice car!!

PS: This thread is a repost :)

damn that car is really fast!the bad thing about it is that is turbo,a na engine would be better i think,considering the fact that its 6000cc...

ya i know :shock:

at first i was thinking "660bhp for a twin turbo 6.2L V12 is weak as hell, the Enzo's N/A 6L is 660"
but then i saw that torque!!!!! holy shit!!!!

i hope they've got a lifetime tire replacement plan, cuz they're gonna be shredded!

although i suppose we need to see a torque curve for the engine, i'm curious if it remains flat from 1500rpm on up or if there's major falloff.

do u think the 4 piston brembos would be up to the task of stopping the v12 adequately? me i dunno, id opt for carbon ceramics :D

ummm.. intresting, doesen't look all that apealing 2 me IMO
the back end is ohhh well, not that good.. infact kind of crap, is it just me or is there a flood of supercars comming out?

i think it's a good thing, but i think there should be more "power to the people cars" ie: more cars like wrx's ect.

btw SPEEDKILLAR, do u own a merc yourself?

Impressive specifications, good, if derivative looks, although the rear is somewhat....busy?

but look at those torque figures! Tyre shredding will becomea common occurence methinks. Would i buy one? i dont know.... I;d be tempted.

The figures are very impressive, but I just can't force myself to like the way it looks. Does anyone else think that the front looks a bit like a Dodge Stratus?

Yeah, it does have massive torque down low, but the design is a little, abstract...those headlights are odd too.

The thing looks like a smoother Murcialango, but those specs for that car is sick. Are those engines designed by them as well or are they pulling a Pagani?

The engines come from Mercedes-Benz AMG

How come benz is providing all these engines to different manufacturers?

Because Mercedes is a company, and its main interest is to make money. That, and Mercedes makes VERY good engines!

BTW: That car is very nice! Even with all that power and torque, it still can't beat the McLaren's 0-60 time!

Laraki Borac...based on 550

Laraki...can an Exotic car come from more exotic(sounding) place as Morocco?

I hope so, I would like to see an outsider kick other supercars asses.
