I'm just a little confused as to the "Leaked" part of this thread; is this a new model or just a new variant?
It's a new variant. You know how it works. Small companies don't have money or time to develop brand new cars. It took Koenigsegg almost 10 years to get the first one right. Even Pagani C9 protypes look like they're just updated C12s. And that's fine. It's not like they really need updates anyway.

No one can these days. Buying a whole automobile company is quite a lot of load for one company or an individual. It's risky though. Porsche still owes Qatar government for the failed VW takeover.
