seriously uncool; the car will never reach production; was made with the wrong engine, and caught fire at least once with a journalist driving.

Subzero...needs work though, like the Veyron in its initial stages.

^ That SUCKS!!! It's a really cool concept, too bad they had such teething problems. It's probably the only car that I think makes the Enzo look pedestrian.

sub zero...when this thing passes you on the opposite lane you WILL take another look. Shame it doesn't corner as beautifully as it looks though.

Subzero indeed...teething troubles and financial worries aside, by far one of the most interesting cars ever built.

Seriously uncool. People will stare at it for the wrong reasons. It's ugly, but we'll never see one on t he road anyway.
And it's a dead white elephant in the room that no one will clean up.

hmm, curious. No. Where was it?

A good friend had one on order, (3rd one to be built) before things went a bit awry back in the UK.
