I like the front, ain't to crazy about the rest of the car though. I would like to see the Top Speed crown come back to the USA.

pretty cool but i would agree that it looks like a 90's supercar. the veyron for instance from the front is damn stylish. It seems they could have did a bit more on the appearance side. Engine wise...badass.

I love it.
Front end is all NSX. The rest belongs to Vector and Ferrari! Not a bad look if you ask me! **** Bugatti and their so called "curves"
