    Style-wise my first impression was Diablo + Jag 220. That's got to be one of the widest black-borders on the windshield ever -- definitely not attractive in that photo IMO.

    Kind of a shame that they don't take more pride in the powerplant. You'd think that if they were producing their own "Aluminum Block and Heads" or making their own gearbox that would be a bigger part of their story -- so I must conclude they are intentionally not disclosing the underlying engine/gearbox component supplier(s).

    Not that you'd ever need to go there, but an undersquare 6L V8 with a 4" stroke constantly bouncing up to 7K RPM won't have the life of a Checker cab (and maybe it doesn't need it ;)).

    Impressive specs, but the body/craftsmanship looks like it was inspired by a 1/18th scale model. Is that thing made out of one giant sheet of ABS plastic?

    Wonderful exhaust note! An unfortunate example of branding gone awry, however.

    the interior is gorgeous. I like it. I dont know much about the motor, but the styling and interior are thumbs up for me.

    Ack.... there was one in Monterey last August. The design was a bit odd, like a kit car that couldn't decide just what it wanted to be. I have some pictures around here someplace.

    The car is actually put together quite nicely. We are going to be one of the two dealers for the car. We will have our first one in time for the Chicago Auto Show. The car was here a few months ago, and it is very impressive. The exhaust note is incredilble, and the performance was unreal. Of course, being a dealer for it, it may sound like I am being biased, but for the money, it truly offers Enzo-beating performance for a quarter of the cost.

    What does it cost? A quarter of the 650k Enzo sticker or a quarter of the 1m trading price?

    Thanks

    250 MPH? It's going to be drag limited long before that.

    It's a Vector for the 21st century. If it ever makes production, then we'll see if it lives up to the hype. Getting big HP numbers out of a 6 litre motor isn't all that hard.

    $250K so a quarter of the $1M trading price.
