    saw this car at the ny auto show. was originally designed about 30 yrs ago and now the designers son is trying to make it as an updated model. 3000lbs/600 hp similar to mosler. seems pretty good and the owner was very nice but not sure about $275k.

    Front end especially the light do resemble the Fiberfab avenger/valkarie of the late 60's

    gt40 was the original inspiration for it in 1979. i agree with the above comments but the owner was so enthusiastic and nice im still rooting for him.

    Just an individual personal wet dream, sorry to say. I guess beaty is in the eyes of the beholder, but that thing needs a 21st century make over to have any glimmer of being suscessful.

    Wow

    I thought the front was bad, but then I saw the rear!

    A great example of someone with some cash thinking that makes them a designer.

    No offense, but it looks like a kit car and not a really good one at that. The front end is not good and the back is horrible, at least to me. For $275k, I wish him the best, but I don't see that happening....

    I saw it in person last week at the NYAS as well, and it really does not look good, at any price, when I saw it he had the rear bonnet raised, and it looked terribly cheap. I had no idea he was trying to get $275 for them, in person I thought it was a 20K kit car. I'm all for following a dream, but this is not realistic. Especially because you can buy a ford GT and a 430 Spider for the price of one of these.
