    Here is a quick pic of the Gumball car when it stopped overnight in New Orleans. I really feel lucky seeing and hearing this car in person!

    Why even bother comparing it to an Enzo. Consider the amount of work on the Enzo from Chassis, Brakes, Electronics, etc. why even compare a Picasso to this thing. It is an insult to the Enzo, I can understand Allan comparing Lambos as they are much more well thought out machines, but you have to be kidding on this thing. You want a fast car, buy a 427TT Ligenfelter, but to compare the Enzo to this is a joke.

    A Koenigsegg CCS would destroy an enzo.

    Nop, it will most likely have some kind of malfunction before it got to 100mph :) If you get the chance, watch the new Gumball: The movie dvd. There's a guy that has just bought it, from new. And it breaks down in every footage it is in on the whole DVD. Everything is wrong with the car :)

    I agree, it looks like a prototype transformer toy. Aesthetics, IMO, are FAR more important than performance. If you have an ugly car that goes like stink, who cares? On second thought, that would be good if you could fly by super fast because then you would not need to subject anyone's eyes to the torture of having to look at that monstrosity.

    Jonas, I saw that too. LOL, you are right, it's a one-off piece of junk. I can put a Pratt & Whitney jet turbine engine on the back of a VW beetle and go 260mph, does that make it the baddest car on the planet? Me thinks not.

    Really if you want to talk one-off low production numbers, some here could build a better car. Until they make 200+ and all 200 match/beat the stated numbers, I will take notice. FUGLY

    I don't see how people think the enzo would beat it. Who cares if the Koenigsegg is unreliable. A ferrari requires lots of maintanance too. Just look at the specs and also watch the Top Gear video. And by the way... The Koenigsegg may be kind of ugly, but the Enzo is one of the ugliest things on the road.

    Ferrari people talking about reliability? That's funny coming from the car company that admits that they use their customers as test mules.

    Now just put a BMW or Mercedes V12 in it and get Lotus or BMW to make suspension and you may have a car. Ford 4.6 liters have made over a 1000hpo though, for one or 2 passes down the dragstrip. I'm sure it is completely unreliable. You cannot a company's car that does little or no racing to a company that rules any racing they want to, esspecially Formula 1. The Enzo would kill it. It would never finish. I would be suprised if it even started.

    Ford proved once already that it can beat Ferrari any day.
