Wow, amazing car. Could this be the "halo" car of "halo" cars???
Also, years ago, didn't callaway (the guy who tuned Vettes) throw a couple turbos on a vette and end up with ~1,000 hp?
Amazing stuff... although, while this car certainly is crazy fast, I do giggle when I hear auto testers describe the performance of a machine that is not much quicker than your garden variety big bore sport bike.
"It’s just too powerful, too extreme, too darn fast. Nothing, and we mean nothing, can prepare you for the feeling you experience deep within the pit of your stomach the first time you drive it with real purpose. Comparisons with other road cars do not apply, for there simply is no parallel. Not a fair one at least."
"When you’re engaging in such action, the air is literally forced from your lungs as the forces build… and build… and build"
