^^Only the nose at the front. The rest seems to be a mix of many cars. The front air intakes look like the ones in a Dodge Charger, just placed much lower down. The rearlights are a rip off from Ferrari designs.

It's pathetic from the front. The front lights look as if the have been melted into it.

I see the Enzo in the cockpit more than anything. though the center of the nose kind of screams it as well.

Thats just a scale plastic model - obviously it is roughly like that but its designed by a load of ex F1 engineers so it should be shit hot Cant wait for it to come out

http://www.mbroadcars.com/ - their website - apparently the first production car will be running/unveiled at this years gumball 3000

Go to EOS ->EOS at Gumball 3000

Personally my first thought was Pagani Zonda from the positioning of the rear view mirrors. Then Enzo from the rear lights. It seems that they have taken what they conceive to be the best parts of other supercars and then stuck them in one package.

Incidentally is there any reason for it to be such a small engine (4 litre v8) with a relatively small 500bhp. It seems that 650 is par for the course for any major supercar these days. Is this more aiming itself at the slightly sub-supercar market, along similar lines to the Ascari perhaps?

But god that thing looks awful.

its cause its just a model, apparently made of carbon fibre, not the actual car
And yeah it has some enzo, the nose looks pretty similar to an f1 car, so thats why it looks like the enzo

Didn't they learn from the japs that engineers alone can't build a *proper* Supercar? People need to stop abusing the term "supercar". Since when a supermodel needs a paperbag? Someone should change the topic to something like "Ugliest high performance car ever!"
