Laraki Fulgura, BAD ASS machine
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

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

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.
