There is an article in the latest Car and Driver about it. Apparently Chrysler is going to give them one to test in the future. I'm looking forward to it.
They also mentioned that it makes 1bhp for every 3.5lbs. Versus the Enzo's 1bhp per 5lbs.
There isn't any word on whether or not they will build it, but Chrysler keeps saying they could build it. Which is cool, but I'd rather have a yes or no answer. I hate it when companies say, hey, look at what we built. But sorry, we aren't gonna sell it.

This would never beat a McLaren/Bugatti/Koenigsegg/Ferrari/Zonda. Even if it would go into production or be a lot faster (it will still have the Chrysler badge) it won't have the pedigree like the others brands.

Thats the thing, it's not always the badge that matters. There are people who will buy it cause it's the latest greatest thing. Add to the fact that there will only be a handfull of lucky owners, it's appeal becomes a bit greater.
I do agree however, I'd rather have many cars versus the ME Four Twelve. But I won't say it'll do horrible just yet.

If you are going to make a supercar make your own ideas. It looks like a Koenigsegg, the engine is from Mercedes, they have copied a lot of the Pagani Zonda and the interior looks from Star Trek.

Pagani uses a AMG engine, why didn't you mention that? Koenigsegg used a Ford Racing block as the engine, why not mention that? Lamboghini's use parts from Audi, why not mention that?
Just because they used existing parts doesn't make it any less of a Supercar. All companies do it in one form or another, even if they originally built the part. It still came from a different car.
I have high hopes for the car, but I'm still a bit sceptical. I'd like to see an actual road test before condemning it. It has potential though.
