Any links to real information on this monstrosity?

Has it actually done 420kph or is that just a claimed top speed?

Honest to god I don't get this.

Why spend so much time and money on biturbocharging a huge engine so this car can go fourhundred-and-something km/h, when you could make it go even faster by simply spending more time on making it more aerodynamically efficient?
Sure, the car needs downforce and the engine needs cooling, but that boxy front is definitely not going to help it go any faster. They could at least have made the car aesthetically pleasing, but oh nooo!

Such a waste of time and money.

Ugh, it looks like a track-day Fisker that's been beaten with the ugly stick. And the Fisker wasn't a good looking car to start with. But if it goes as fast as they claim then wow, but I highly doubt this. images/smilies/puke.gif

This, gentlemen, is the very point. I would bet money that the top speed it claims is down to the calculated number of available power and gearing, and not something it actually could do. So it's not only FUGLY, it's a liar! images/smilies/dry.gif

It's melted...

Truly, terrifyingly ugly. Disturbing that there's someone out there who's "styled" this thing, stood back and said "Yeah, that'll do".
