It's too heavy to be a supercar.

Are you kidding me? LOL No way its a supercar. Its to heavy, I'm not sure about the power delivery from that engine.... Its a good engineering exercise, but thats it.

It may have the hp necessary to be a super car, but it lacks something that super cars are:
unique designs, excellent engineering and some CLEVER solution. IMO this engine is an attempt to challenge the bugattis and their VW engines.
Sorry, for me it's another desperate move by the americans to reach the almost genius ideas the germans have.

It would be an interesting car, but I don't think it was designed to go head to head against the Enzo's and Maclarens. Lets just say, it is a really big, powerful Cadillac.

it falls waaaay short of a supercar. i agree w/ sfdmalex, prolly just an engineering excerise, and agood one at that. also another way to get attention. how many other modern 16 cylinder cars do you know of?  :roll:

Cadillac isn't going to build them. They are gonna be sticking the engine in the new Escalade and the SRX though. Of course they are optional.
