great car, too bad its supremely ugly.

[Wyclef]

^^^ ugly, but has nice engine

[gtx28]

:bad: And intercooled supercharged v10 that only makes 300 bhp, the displacement must be less than my soda bottle.

And what kind of statement is that beneith the logo? "Higherbred to a higher degree" how corny is that?

I wish i had more hands cause i can only give it two thumbs down. Its not even pretty for god sakes!!

[dannyroz]

Its a 2 litre v10

[dutchmasterflex]

very interesting car.. first time I heard of this company.. looks like a promising light weight sports car

[crazidude]

This car looks weird to say the least. I won't say that its ugly, but its kinda close to that. The side view doesn't seem to fit a profile of a sports car very well and the front makes the car look kinda angry. The interior looks like some kid's toy with a punch of dials and big colourful buttons. Though I do like the rims quite a bit.

Kinda awkward to have a 2L SC V10. Wouldn't have been cheaper and easier to make something along the lines of a 3L V6?

[yg60m]

I quite like the idea and the design is not usual
