but still a v-10 150K car this isn't a ferrari killer this is the ford GT killer!

nice pics guys, i really love that concept and i hope it does go into production with minimal changes, like the ford GT. from the rumors going around seems as if it is very likely that it will go into production.

awesome pics. The older version of the car was painted, but I guess this is the first running model. The performance for this thing is pretty sick too... and I'm really liking that engine

It got a good response at some of the Auto Shows, and I havn't heard anyone who dislikes it aesthetically... it'd be a waste if they didn't produce it
Mmmm, so pretty... but yeah, it's looking to kill the GT

i definitley prefer that to the ford GT. looks much better IMO - the fresh design using those similar lines are algamated much more beautifully on this car. hopefully it'll b a nyias this year so i can get a real-life comparison.

gotta love the chrome body too. puts rappers to shame
"hey nice chrome rims you got there buddy... my ENTIRE CAR is chrome. suck it"
you could really blind some people driving that thing in bright sunlight

as for it being aluminum, sweet. nice to see a change from predominately steel panels

there was an episode of it on rides and it was actually designed by an American.
And BTW that isn't really a color or chrome it's bare aluminum.

i have read in motortrend that if this car does make it to production that they would not use the V10 powerplant but a 7.0L "Hurricane" V8 making relatively the same power output i.e. 600+hp and 500+ ft-lbs. has anyone else heard about this new "hurricane" V8 ford may be developing? here have been a lot of rumors on forums about it but nothing substantial, this is the first i have heard anything about it in a magazine.
