It's a load of rubbish, it will not achieve those speeds on road tyres and I wager not on slicks either. It certainly won't achieve that speed and I doubt it has ever been tested doing any more than 200mph.

Look at it, it's got a stupid Japanese import style front bumper on it, big bling wheels and a colour scheme that wouldn't look out of place at McDonalds on a Friday evening

Lol yeah and i designed the engine

Nozzer · 21 Jul 2006 at 22:49

Well, look how long it took VAG to get the Veyron stable (and able) at 250mph...

KASM · 21 Jul 2006 at 22:51

Talk about putting that cat amongst the pigeons

Violent-J · 21 Jul 2006 at 22:54

Looks great, I'm sceptical about the sub 2 second 0 - 60 but time will tell.

Wrong.

big bling wheels

Wrong

and a colour scheme that wouldn't look out of place at McDonalds on a Friday evening

Wrong. Three strikes. Yerrout!

The only accusation I can lay at it looks-wise is that it looks like the ******* child of an Ascari and a Saleen S7...

Nozzer · 21 Jul 2006 at 22:56

Both of which are also hideous, tacky looking, cars in the flesh. AND the Saleen is American, which makes it ten times worse.

Arguments over taste are always a worthwhile way to spend a Friday night!

edit: The photos look ridiculously Photoshopped anyway...

Nozzer · 21 Jul 2006 at 23:05

That lovely shade of "Chavved Saxo Blue".

I'm sure they painted it Saxo blue for an extra 250BHP and 75mph...

ironman · 21 Jul 2006 at 23:07

Lamborghini have a similar shade of blue...

Nozzer · 21 Jul 2006 at 23:08

And it looks toss on the Lambos too, which is why you rarely see them in that blue.

edit: I can't even recall seeing one in that shade whilst at the factory, with maybe ~100 cars in various states of assembly.
