To bad they had to rethink their first production car, making it cheaper tha their original idea.. still curious to see if they will make it or not!

I liked this one since I read the article in Evo. Interesting project, If it goes as fast as they say, it'll be another supercar.
The funny thing is that Mr. Forbourd decided to buy is own supercar after his order for an Enzo was refused

This project will probably succeed because the "big auto" companies are not involved to fuck it up - the way they always do when chasing profits.
With that kind of money that they have backing themselves, no need to please the bean counters that always use the "we have to think of the shareholders" excuse when taking great concepts and designs and water them down for "mass sale".
I hope he takes the trouble to have the car federalized for US sale - I would like one.

really, well almost like ferruccio lamborghini and look where hes now.
Instead of buy dont you mean build?
and the fron also reminds me or the cgt, specially the middle of the front, and this might seem weird but it also reminds me a little of the rx-8, i say this because of the wheel arc and how it flows back, im not sure what but it does look like it 4 me. is it only me or does someone else see it also? to notice this better open the 4th pic couting bottom to top.
and the interioris ok but i dont like it alot.
and the exaust also looks like the one in the cgt, (i hope it sound the same), and the back is too simple, its needs a bigger and more atractive badge(the only pic of the complete back is the prototype, and maybe the "production" one will be differente)

I don't like it, it looks like a Noble and a Lakari, actually it looks like they have ripped a piece of every supercar that is currently on the market and put it in their car.

If you actually took the time to read the article - they already said that is what he did - he took all the best features from the current best out there.
Your point?

The front looks like the Carrera Gt, the wheel seems that came from a Ferrari.
Nice wheels, pretty nice the car =)
Let's see how he behaves in the road.

i think his point was theres no ferrari badge on it so its shit =)
i on the other hand thinks its prety awesome..aslong as it stays like that its always sad when things are changed for the worse for production
i kinda like that color its in to wonder what it would look like black..or maybe a deep blue =)
