Already got a topic covering the project, but it was watered down by the pre-release thoughts on whether it was a ZR1 or GT-R chassis.

I dont know how anyone considers this guy a genius in terms of design. The RR Hyperion was mostly crap, the P4/5 was mostly crap, this is mostly crap and his other creations except the maser birdcage are crap.

the birdcage was a rolling piece of art.

All his other designs have some really good design ideas and mostly really bad and in the end bad wins over the good, so the design atleast in the pictures looks really bad..

I actually like the rear of the car and the flying butresses, but that cheap hole pattern and that nose just don't do it for me.

Just wait till you see the exhaust system.

I'm sure they'll be available from the manufacturer.

Maybe they should have put the ZR1 drivetrain in the Ford GT and called it a day since the ZR1 isn't exotic looking enough to handle its own performance.

You wouldn't really have to worry about anyone else having the same car at the local hooters car show for sure. Definately a work of art!

Ok so I hear this car is running at the Ring in August and I'm being told it will blow away any and all past records... Price $2,000,000.00 USD wow.
They are filming today so we should get some nubers and such.

Hope they rig some tires for that...

Srsly though... if you're spending $2m... you can do better than ****ing runflats.

Also I wonder what those wheels weigh? I would have gone with dymags powder coated a dark charcoal myself...

EDIT: OOOhhh I just read those ARE custom Dymag wheels... super light weight.
