Very nice looking car. I'm picky but, feel like they could have done a more elegant looking wing. Any idea on price of this thing? So, I guess it kills the GTR although, it looks like it was rear wheel drive in that clip of it drifting (end of video).

Doubt that if I even had the money, I would spend an assload to have this car over an american muscle car all done up nice.

The price hasn't been officially announced, but the rumored pricing is in Supercar territory.

The torque figure is correct.

Here is another video with a hot lap towards the end.

So now im starting to see what I dont like about it. Its power is nothing compared to what other cars of that price range are. A Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 is cheaper and has more power. Aston Martin DBS is cheaper and only lacks 40hp but has established itself. And they mention in that last video about it against ZR1s and the GTR. The ZR1 is well over $200,000 cheaper and has 100 more hp! What are they thinking?

I may be posting info about it, but I don't necessarily care for it. That doesn't mean there aren't aspects of it that I do like. When you factor in the projected price range (200-400k), then consider what can be purchased for the same amount or less, it falls flat on its face.

They're only making 500 of them. There are at least that number of clowns out there that will buy it for that reason alone (regardless of how it stacks up against the competition).

I like the way it looks. Does it look like $375k though? Hell no.
