Rare indeed, but @ less than a penny/hp (actually $1,100,000 / 1200HP = $00.00109/hp? F* no!

Do it Ol'School...

I think you meant to say $917 per HP??? Otherwise what you say would be pretty awesome.

They use the center section (doors) from the Lotus, but everything else is their own build. The car is built in England and is actually pretty damn incredible in person. The interior is top notch also.

Car is very nice. Like LEO said, in person it is even better. Is it worth the price??? Who knows. Since it's not in my range even with a lifetime of working, it doesn't matter. Cool car none the less.

nice car, but even if I had 1.1 mil I woudn't buy one. Lot of other cool things I could buy, and as my brother said, "why would I want a million dollar push rod engine?"
