Looks like a diablo on front and side......and a Mclaren at the back
but damn, that's still very good looking car, but on the wrong color tho (IMO)

[tekwar]

with that top speed and acceleration time itll be going head to head with Koenigsegg seems like it can well keep up with Koenigsegg too these are specs for Koenigsegg CCR compare the two

0-100 mph: -.- sec

Holy shit its very ugly huh , but pretty fast

[spitfire6000]

very low price for a car of this calibur

[Vansquish]

Damn that is definetely a PDU car. Fantastically so.

[corvette97]

looks like a moded laraki IMO

[Vansquish]

oh...BTW...PDU = Pretty Damned Ugly

[Vansquish]

Do I spy Ford Focus headlight lenses? The actual unit looks like it might be something a bit more exotic, but the lenses look like Focus ones to me.

[dutchmasterflex]

sure does got a fugly face... but cant argue with the performance figs

[tekwar]

oh yeah and there is a video that i forgot to put up as well its on the quarter mile and its bloody fast

[Cornutu]

I too think I spy focus lights

[Vansquish]

That instrument binnacle is familiar too, but I can't place it at the moment.

We have the proof that it rides :)
Just hope it won't be like the SC1 which wasn't really an achievment :?

Diablo ?

[oantob]

what a one f#ck@n fast car!!1 :shock: 400 km/h....this car could take off and fly

[tekwar]

it is ugly i have to agree those focus lights dont match its almost as if they were trying to copy a whole bunch of cars

[Erez]

why cant they just design an original good looking car?
this is one ugly POS! looks like a lame replica...
the nose is Such a bad enzo... the side is a bad Koenigsegg the doors is a bad McLaren\Diablo the rear is a bad Koenigsegg\S7.. and the engine lid is a diablo.. and what up with the ford focus lights?

this car SUCK!! give it an original design!! or dont make it at all :!:

[Erez]

Diablo ?

yep.. old diablo..

[novass]

Interesting car. Looks need a little finessing, but with that much power I would love to drive it.

Saw the video too and it sounds very nice.

[danroz]

The numbers are impressive but is it just me or does the body look cheap like someone took glue and just pieced it together...I think a supercar shouldnt only be specs but the craftsmanship of the car and the body just doesnt do it for me IMO

[5.7 V10]

I agree with danroz. The car does have very impressive stats. But the body does(in my opinion) looks tacky and ugly. Does anybody, is it a Chevy V8, Ford V8 or is it a newly developed V8 made by them?

[tekwar]

here is my thoughts
Looks-1/10
Speed-10/10
Sound-10/10
Wheels-10/10
Interior-10/10 (from what i can see)

[nurbrun]

The front of that car is the lamboghini coatel concept. it looks exactly the same

[bmagni]

from the front looks like an azcari, but well not until see it performs as said i wont believe, like the CCR, keep tellin but no actual proofs

[mit5005]

The back looks like a copy of the Koenigsegg. It needs some work look-wise but the general idea of it is nice IMO. And just look at those performance figures, very impressice. Can't wait to see a test of it.

[is64fun]

very very ugly indeed.

[bmwmpower]

great car, brutal power,

780 hp/1234 kg
better power to weight than mclaren F1,

great car, brutal power,

780 hp/1234 kg

it is actually even more powerful at present as they have recently added a supercharger - as a result they've got 908hp and 771lb./ft of torque.

[gtx28]

[Skaala]

sounds f#kin fantastic, 427 v8

[findleybeast]

crazy car, but they really need to get an artist to buckle down and create an attractive body. seriously, I wouldn't want to be seen in a car looking like that. awesomely fast though, which I like. The looks just don't live up to its performance

[ikon2003]

I concur w/ most ppl that....wow...that's one ugly car. It's insanely fast though, as that vid of it on the drag strip confirms. I saw something on TV about this, and i think they're making a limited production of 40 or so of these cars "to ensure it increases in value over time" and they've been hard at work trying to market them to Major League baseball players. ...just FYI

[Refefer]

I don't think it looks all that bad myself... but that is gonna be one wickedly fast car. 249 MPH?

I'm thinking the CCR is gonna have some pretty big competition on a performance and price level...

[zr2man99]

Those air dams behind the doors looks like they can suck up small children. It does look like a blend of different supercar styling .
