While this car may not be beautiful in the conventional sense, it is beautiful technoligically. That has to be the ultimate driving experience. Very cool.

Well I guess I won't be picking up three of those! But I could probably do a little better than a couple hundred bucks off-loading the two extras!
I don't see ugly, I see testosterone! I guess that might be the same thing through some other's eyes!

To be honest, I'm a flip-flopper regarding the looks of the car. If you look at the car considering the perspective of the role for which it was designed, it is a magnificent looking thing. Beautiful? I'm not there yet. Impressive ? Well, I'm all over that.

And it is ugly!!!
And it is ugly!!!
Thanks, Frank.
You know, buddy, I think myself, you, and a whole gaggle of us older folks are prejudiced as to what constitutes a pretty car based on those that we grew up with. I showed this picture to the 16 year old grandson of a friend and I thought he might never quit jabbering.

I'm certain that this car was built to satisfy the dreams of the guy who designed it.... the guy who was obsessed with creating the fastest car in the world. And he's not through yet. He's got a modified version in development that produces an additional 450 HP.
To reach his goals, he understood that he needed to sell some of these things to finance his operations. He is smart. His sales targets are the rich, chest-thumping folks who will take their car to big shows and let people know that they are the king-of-the-hill.

In the world of super cars it’s a masterpiece of aero dynamic beauty and mechanical mayhem 1750 hp, oh my! Never to be confused with a performance sports car like the 300SL.
That's certainly one way to look at it. The builder is working on a revised version that will add another 450 HP to the mix. What was the name of that movie " Stop the world, I want to get off ". Ithink that was it.

What a shame they didn't open the hood? trunk? to get a shot of the twin V8s.
It doesn't have two V8 motors. It has two turbocharges on a single motor.

Gee! $1,600,000, and they let people get that close to it!
Every year at the Auto Show at the State Fair of Texas, there are several super-luxury cars on the floor, with fine velvet ropes (or even fencing) around them, so that one can look but not touch.
Such luxury cars include Bugatti, Aston-Martin, Lamborghini, Bentley, and more...most all such have price tags typically > $1 Million.

Interesting vehicle. But don't see much purpose for it other than to look at it.
The purpose for this car is something us mere mortals can't really appreciate. I talked about that in a response to another member. Check that out.
Thanks for the visit.
