    Looks are subjective, but to me it's hideous and looks something a 4 year old would draw.

    Engine is 2 V8's welded together, turbo's slapped on.

    Wonder what they'll do for gearbox? Not a chance they'll get one build for a car with anything that is even remotely acceptable reliability wise.

    Laughable power figures. Sure, possible, and not terrifyingly hard to get even, but so utterly pointless.

    Top speed equally laughable. Oh I believe that it or close to it is possible with this amount of power, but there's no reason to have it. No track long enough, and surely no one dumb enough to actually do it (oh damn. Just broke my own rule of underestimating people's stupidity!).

    I know, I know, but you could almost say the same about the Bugatti Veyron and its 1000+hp.

    Yet, they are now talking about a Bugatti Chiron with 1500+hp !!!

    These cars need a legion of computers to tame them down, keep traction, avoid spinning, control the suspension, etc... that they will hardly ever let the driver exploit all the potential.

    They are just some sort of statement giving their owner(s) some bragging rights in like-minded company.

    How can a cylinder block machined from billet aluminium be 2 V8s "welded together" ?
