What in the name of what is that?

On a side note, it looks like it came from an early 90's arcade racer.

Given that it's essentially a home-built carbon fibre kit car that's less than a metre tall, without any significant front or rear wings, I'd say it might well add up.

Either the car is super light, or it really is just super optimistic. I'm betting on the latter.

Comfortably takes the title of ugliest car I've ever seen, and I'm not even exaggerating.

I've seen much worse. Look at some of the things on the Cool Wall that have been polled.
 
Voted, because it kind of looks a little like a bootleg Bugatti EB110 that had it's roof stepped on.
