The car looks great, much better than the "rendering" previously posted. I'm not a fan of the wheels. They look too much like the 599 wheels, which I dislike more. Power seems good, but I was suprised at the low torque as have some others. One thing I haven't figured out yet is why not put a v-12 in it? They have them, and they are already making more power and torque.

And 562 HP is sick....
398 is peak torque. If you read again it says 80% of that is available at about 3,250. 398 x .8 = 318.xx ft lbs.
